dangerous. Now she’s seeking stability for little Caroline—and answers for herself—and finding them in a homecoming
full of surprises…
NEW BEGINNINGS IN BLUE HOLLOW FALLS by Donna Kauffman

for a second chance?

THE BACHELOR
The Duke Dynasty Series
Sabrina Jeffries
From one of the biggest names in historical romance, New York Times bestselling author
Sabrina Jeffries, comes the second in a sparkling series about an oft-widowed mother’s
grown children, who blaze through society in their quest for the truth about their fathers. In
the process, they may just find that love can conquer all…even for a headstrong young lady
with a scandalous secret to hide.
Lady Gwyn Drake has long protected her family’s reputation by hiding an imprudent affair from her youth. But when her
former suitor appears at Armitage Hall, manhandling the heiress and threatening to go public with her secrets, it’s Gwyn
who needs protecting. Her twin brother, Thorn, hires Joshua Wolfe, the estate’s gamekeeper, to keep her safe in London
during her debut. As a war hero, Joshua feels obligated to fulfill the assignment he has accepted. But as a man, it’s
torment to be so very close to the beauty he’s fought to ignore…
With handsome Joshua monitoring her every move, Gwyn would prefer to forget both the past and the parade of
money-seeking bachelors at her coming out. But Joshua is unmoved by her attempts at flirtation, and the threat of blackmail
still hangs over her. With danger closing in, Gwyn must decide which is the greater risk: deflecting a scoundrel’s attempts
to sabotage her—or revealing her whole heart to the rugged bodyguard she can’t resist…

EVERY BIT A ROGUE
The Ellinghams Series
Adrienne Basso
Adrienne Basso returns to the Regency period and her beloved Ellinghams Series with its
first new installment in nine years! In this sensual tale, an artist devastated by heartbreak
and a reclusive, scientifically-minded Viscount are compelled by scandal into a marriage
of admiration. But it’s passion that will free them from their pasts and transform their union
into something much stronger.
He’s much more than he seems…

Jon Burwell, Viscount Kendall, knows what the gossips say about him. They claim he’s been a dejected, half-mad recluse
ever since he was jilted at the altar. The simple truth is that Jon has thrown all the passion he once had for his fiancée into
his latest mechanical invention. But his single-minded existence has lately been shattered by repeated encounters with Miss
Emma Ellingham, his neighbor’s intriguing sister-in-law…
Painting and sketching have been Emma’s consolation since her own secret heartbreak. When she stumbles upon the
viscount’s workshop, his machine revives her artistic imagination. The gentleman himself is even more fascinating—and
deeply seductive. When Jon is accused of a crime, Emma risks her good name for his sake. But though the threat of
scandal compels them to wed, only courage can overcome their pasts, and allow desire to transform into love…

Amy Lillard
Amy Lillard begins a new trilogy set in Wells Landing, the fan-favorite
close-knit Amish community in Oklahoma, focusing on three generations of the
same family: mother, daughter and granddaughter and their search for love…
Jenna Burkhart is tired of being “special” and hearing about what she can’t do. Even though she suffered a head injury in a
childhood swimming accident, she wants a life of her own just like any Amish woman. But now that she, her mamm, and her
mammi have moved to Wells Landing, she’s having a hard time fitting in…Until she meets Buddy Miller, a boy just like her,
who gives her the confidence to reach for the impossible…
Like Jenna, Buddy is used to being the boy no one expects much from, the one people see as “different.” Still, being around
Jenna’s lively, kind-hearted ways makes him strive ever-harder to become the self-sufficient Amish man she deserves. But
in the face of family disapproval and their own fears, will Jenna and Buddy’s courage be enough to give them a forever
happiness together?

HIS UNEXPECTED AMISH TWINS
The Unexpected Amish Blessings Series
Rachel J. Good
Life can be surprising, upending the best-laid plans. But those unforeseen detours can
bring unexpected blessings in Rachel J. Good’s new Unexpected Amish Blessings romance
series with this heartfelt first novel about amid tragedy how God’s grace and healing power
love…and animals…can close any wound.
When Micah Miller’s brother and sister-in-law are killed in a buggy accident, he’s devastated. But he fulfills the promise he
made when their twins were born seven years earlier: to raise Abby and Isaac should tragedy strike. Still, coping with the
children’s grief as well as his own, requires extra support. Micah takes them to a counselor who recommends animal therapy.
He’s surprised to find an Amish farm that offers just that…
Hope Graber had to find a way to save the family farm after her dad’s health forced him to stop breeding horses. Providing
animal therapy proved to be the answer—thanks to the help of expert trainer Logan Russell. Together, they not only pay the
bills, they make positive changes in children’s lives. Hope loves working with each child, but she takes a special interest in
the Miller twins. She even makes Micah smile again—and he does the same for her. In fact, as Micah emerges from his
depression, he longs to make them one happy family. But will Hope’s debt to her Englisch trainer, and their close partnership,
stand in the way?

THE SECRET LIFE OF BRYAN
Lori Foster
New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster brings her signature heat to this gorgeously
repackaged romance about a sexy bounty hunter who has finally met his match in a high
society girl.
Bryan Kelly has a few rules.

Rule #1: Women are for fun, not commitment.
Rule #2: He’ll do anything for his twin brother, even switch places with him to find out who’s sabotaging his charity. But
playing a really good guy isn’t easy around Shay Sommers. Which brings him to…
Rule #3: If you can’t avoid temptation, succumb with abandon.
Shay Sommers has always been a rule breaker.
She may be a society page icon, but she’ll go to any length to help the street girls served by her favorite charity. Even if it
means impersonating one of them herself. The only problem is the gorgeous man who runs the safe house. “Preacher,” as he
insists she call him, seems less like a shepherd and much more like a wolf…one with a hungry look that’s making Shay feel
she might be his next dinner…

PRAY FOR THE GIRL
Joseph Souza
Joseph Souza, acclaimed author of The Neighbor, brings readers into the dark heart of
a small town in his powder keg of a suspense novel about an Afghanistan veteran who
moves back to the small town in Maine where she grew up. Because some people can
ALWAYS go home again. As long as they go as someone else…
Lucy Abbott never pictured herself coming back to Fawn Grove, Maine. Yet after serving time in Afghanistan, then years
spent as a sous chef in New York, she’s realized her only hope of moving on from the past involves facing it again. But Fawn
Grove, like Lucy herself, has changed.
Lucy’s sister, Wendy, is eager to help her adapt, almost stifling her with concern. At the local diner, Lucy is an exotic
curiosity—much like the refugees who’ve arrived in recent years. When a fifteen-year-old Muslim girl is found murdered
along the banks of the river, difficult memories of Lucy’s time overseas come flooding back and she feels an automatic
connection. At first glance, the tragedy looks like an honor killing. But the more Lucy learns about her old hometown, the
less certain that seems.
There is menace and hostility here, clothed in neighborly smiles and a veneer of comfort. And when another teen is found
dead in a cornfield, his throat slit, Lucy—who knows something about hiding secrets—must confront a truth more brutal
than she could have imagined, in the last place she expected it…

PIES BEFORE GUYS
The Pie Town Mystery Series
Kirsten Weiss
Mix murder with a handful of suspects and a pinch of possible motives, and you have the
perfect recipe for a delicious culinary cozy mystery!
In Kirsten Weiss’ fourth Pie Town Mystery, small-town bakery proprietor Val Harris—with
her UFO-obsessed octogenarian pastry chef and police detective boyfriend—are on
the case when a beloved professor accused of plagiarism is found murdered following
a poetry slam.
A poetry slam at a bakery? Why not! Even though Pie Town proprietor Val Harris would rather be spending time with her
newfound half-brother, she knows her employee, Abril, is beyond excited to be hosting the event. Especially since it stars
the apple pie of Abril’s eye, poet and professor Michael Starke. But the evening ends on a sour note when Professor Starke
is found murdered mere moments after being accused of plagiarism.
Just like that, Pie Town is at the center of another criminal inquiry. At Abril’s request—and much to Detective Carmichael’s
consternation—Val and Charlene decide to investigate Starke’s death. But the case is as tough as an overworked crust and
the Baker Street Bakers are only coming up with scraps. If they don’t pinch the cultured killer soon, Pie Town’s reputation
could crumble.

IN A BADGER WAY
The Honey Badger Chronicles
Shelly Laurenston
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shelly Laurenston follows the explosive
success of Hot and Badgered with the second installment in her sizzlingly outrageous
series, this time featuring a heroine who is half tiger, half honey badger shifter, and fully
living her truth. Now available in mass-market.
Petite, kind, brilliant, and young, Stevie is nothing like the usual women bodyguard Shen Li is interested in. Even more
surprising, the youngest of the lethal, ball-busting, and beautiful MacKilligan sisters is terrified of bears. But she’s not
terrified of pandas. She loves pandas.
Which means that whether Shen wants her to or not, she simply won’t stop cuddling him. He isn’t some stuffed Giant Panda,
ya know! He is a Giant Panda shifter. He deserves respect and personal space. Something that little hybrid is completely
ignoring.
But Stevie has a way of finding trouble. Like going undercover to take down a scientist experimenting on other shifters. For
what, Shen doesn’t want to know, but they’d better find out. And fast. Stevie might be the least violent of the honey badger
sisters, but she’s the most dangerous to Shen’s peace of mind. Because she has absolutely no idea how much trouble they’re
in…or just how damn adorable she is.

DRESSED UP 4 MURDER
The Sophie Kimball Mystery Series
J.C. Eaton
In J.C. Eaton’s sixth humorous Sophie Kimball Mystery, Sophie’s kooky mother, Harriet, is
preparing her Chiweenie, Streetman, for the Precious Pooches costume extravaganza at
her Arizona retirement community’s upcoming St. Patrick’s Day parade. But when plans for
the festivities are shamrocked by the discovery of a dead body, Sophie will need more
than lucky charms to stop a killer’s shenanigans!
The holiday season has arrived and bookkeeper/amateur sleuth, Sophie “Phee” Kimball, would love nothing more than to
enjoy the comforts of her new home with her detective boyfriend near Arizona’s Sun City West. Instead, her mother Harriet
wants to showcase her Chiweenie, Streetman, in the Precious Pooches Holiday Extravaganza costume events. The festivities
begin in October and end on St. Patrick’s Day—with the winner starring in the St. Pat’s Day parade. But things quickly turn
an awful shade of green when Streetman uncovers a dead body under a tarp-covered grill in the neighbor’s yard.
The victim is Cameron Tully, a seafood distributor working out of Phoenix, who died from ingesting a toxic sago palm leaf.
Before the police can even find a motive and suspect, another Precious Pooch owner nearly dies from the same poison. With
Harriet believing someone’s targeting her and Streetman because of the costume contests, Phee will need a potful of Irish
luck to sniff out a killer…

The Jules & Bun Mystery Series

J.M. Griffin’s second Jules & Bun Mystery featuring Juliette “Jules” Bridge, who rescues
and rehabilitates injured or abused rabbits on her rabbit rescue farm, along with her
sidekick bunny, Bun!
Things get pretty hare-y when rabbit rescue and rehab expert Jules Bridge and her brilliant bunny go undercover to catch
a murderer hiding in plain sight…
When Juliette “Jules” Bridge began caring for rabbits on her beloved Fur Bridge Farm in rural New Hampshire, she never
imagined she’d be solving murders with one of them. Not only can her black-and-white rabbit, Bun, communicate with her
telepathically, he happens to be a pretty sharp sleuth. Bun comes along as part of a petting pen for a birthday celebration—
but for one of the guests, the fun is soon over. Evelyn Montgomery is found lying in the bushes with a knife in her chest, and
the distraught hostess begs Jules to help…
To her surprise, so does Sheriff Jack Carver—who usually discourages Jules from getting involved in criminal investigations.
But now she’s drafted at the last minute to fill in for Evelyn as a judge at a rabbit show, and Jack wants her to go undercover.
Yet as she and Bun expose the dark—albeit fluffy—underbelly of the world of rabbit competition, a killer is ready to act as
judge, jury, and executioner…

MURDER MAKES SCENTS
The Nantucket Candle Maker Mystery Series
Christin Brecher
Stella Wright loves creating candles at her Nantucket store—and she also has a burning
passion for justice. Now, in Cristin Brecher’s second Nantucket Candle Maker Mystery,
she must solve a vial crime after visiting a perfume conference…
Stella and her globe-trotting mom, Millie, have come home from a perfume industry conference in Paris, where their trip was
marred by witnessing the stabbing death of a young man. It’s a relief for Stella to be back on her picturesque island, with the
comforting company of her cat, Tinker. But lingering danger may have followed them back across the ocean.
After someone breaks into her candle store, the Wick & Flame, Stella starts feeling spooked. And just as things threaten
to ignite, Millie suffers a blow to the head. Stella receives an anonymous note claiming that her mother smuggled a secret
formula out of France—and threatening her life if it isn’t returned. Now Stella’s picked up the scent of a cold-hearted
criminal and an intriguing puzzle, and things are about to get wicked…

Christin Brecher was born and raised in New York City, where her family and many childhood friends still reside. As such,
she feels she is as much of a small-town girl as any. The idea to write the Nantucket Candle Maker series sprang from her
life-long connection to the small island off the coast of Massachusetts. Spending summers there as a child, Christin read
from her family’s library of mystery novels; after which she began to imagine stories inspired by the island’s whaling heyday,
its notoriously foggy nights, and during long bike rides to the beach. She can be found online at ChristinBrecher.com.

HERE COMES THE BODY
The Catering Hall Mystery Series
Maria DiRico
Agatha Award-winning author Maria DiRico, inspired by the well-known banquet halls
her own Italian-American family owned while she was growing up in Queens, New York,
launches the Catering Hall Mystery series. In this first installment, newly single Mia Carina
moves back to Astoria, Queens to live with her nonna and help her mobster father run the
Belle View Catering Hall, which she’s determined to make a legitimate business. But when
the bodies start dropping, it’s up to Mia to try to keep her father out of the slammer again!
After her philandering husband’s boat went down, newly single Mia Carina went back to Astoria, the bustling Queens
neighborhood of her youth. Living with her nonna and her oversized cat, Doorstop, she’s got a whole new life—including
some amateur sleuthing…
Mia is starting work at Belle View, her father’s catering hall, a popular spot for weddings, office parties, and more—despite
the planes that occasionally roar overhead on their way to LaGuardia and rattle the crystal chandelier. Soon she’s planning
a bachelor party for a less-than-gentlemanly groom. But it goes awry when the gigantic cake is wheeled in and the woman
inside fails to jump out…because she’s dead.
Since some of her family’s associates are on the shady side, the NYPD wastes no time in casting suspicion on Mia’s
father—especially considering that he and the victim had a previous encounter. Now, Mia’s going to have to use all her
street smarts to keep him out of Rikers Island…

In the business of high-end, no-limits desire, Desdemona Dean is the best there is. This gorgeous madam can provide any

lives they deserve—especially when it comes to her beautiful, troubled new protégé, Portia. But for Desi, having it all is
no longer enough. She wants everything her shattered childhood denied her. And as she pursues an education and a normal

But as Portia spirals out of control, she’s exposing any number of dangerous secrets. And as Desi desperately tries to save

discover if she can survive…and truly be free.

A COWBOY TO REMEMBER
The Cowboys of California Series
Rebekah Weatherspoon
Award-winning author Rebekah Weatherspoon kicks off the Cowboys of California,
a brand-new contemporary Western romance series set on a black-owned luxury dude
ranch. In the first installment, a celebrity chef stricken with amnesia reunites with the
charming cowboy who was her high school love in a story that proves some memories
live forever in the heart.
With a headline spot on a hit morning show and truly mouth-watering culinary skills, chef Evie Buchanan is perched on
the edge of stardom. But at an industry party, a fall lands Evie in the hospital—with no memory of who she is. Scrambling
to help, Evie’s assistant contacts the only “family” Evie has left, close friends who run the luxury dude ranch in California
where Evie grew up. Evie has no recollection of them—until former rodeo champion Zach Pleasant walks into her hospital
room, and she realizes his handsome face has been haunting her dreams…
Zach hasn’t seen Evie in years—not since their families conducted a campaign to make sure their childhood friendship
never turned into anything more. When the young cowboy refused to admit the feelings between them were real, Evie left
California, making it clear she never wanted to see Zach again. Now he refuses to make the same mistake twice. Starting
fresh is a risk when they have a history she can’t recall, but Zach can’t bear to let go of her now. Can he awaken the
sleeping beauty inside her who might still love him?

OPEN CARRY
The Arliss Cutter Series
Marc Cameron
U.S. Marshal Arliss Cutter is a hero for our times. And his hunt for justice cuts straight to
the bone in Open Carry, the adrenaline-fueled thriller now in paperback from Marc
Cameron, bestselling author of the latest Tom Clancy Jack Ryan novels. With nearly thirty
years in law enforcement serving as a police officer, SWAT officer, detective, and Chief
Deputy U.S. Marshal, Marc Cameron is a master of action and gritty detail. Now he brings
this explosive authenticity to Open Carry, the first in a new series featuring U.S. Marshal
Arliss Cutter.
U.S. Marshal Arliss Cutter is a born tracker. Raised in the Florida swamplands, he honed his skills in the military, fought
in the Middle East, and worked three field positions for Marshal Services. When it comes to tracking someone down—or
taking someone out—Cutter’s the best. But his newest assignment is taking him out of his comfort zone to southeast
Alaska. Cold, dark, uninhabited forests often shrouded in fog. And it’s the kind of case that makes his blood run cold…the
shocking murder of a Tlingit Indian girl.
But the murder is just the beginning. Now, three people have disappeared on Prince of Wales Island. Two are crew members
of the reality TV show, Fishwives. Cutter’s job is to find the bodies, examine the crew’s footage for clues, and track down
the men who killed them. But it won’t be easy, because the whole town is hiding secrets, every trail is a dead end—and the
hunter becomes the hunted…

WHERE MONSTERS HIDE
Sex, Murder, and Madness in the Midwest
M. William Phelps
Intrigue, deception, and serial homicide erupt in New York Times bestselling investigative
journalist M. William Phelps’ gripping true crime narrative about the complex and
fascinating case of convicted killer Kelly Cochran who might have not only murdered one
lover, but two.
In October 2014, after Chris Regan failed to arrive at his new job, his ex-girlfriend filed a missing-person report. Something
was off. It was not like Chris, a devoted father, avid hiker, and all-around great guy, not to show up. When local Michigan
police chief Laura Frizzo learned Chris was having an affair with Kelly Cochran, a married co-worker, suspicion fell on her
husband, Jason.
After a search warrant on their house revealed several suspicious items, the Cochrans abruptly moved to Indiana. As
questions swirled around the case, the whereabouts of Chris Regan remained unknown. Sixteen months later Jason Cochran
died from a drug overdose. Friends and family rallied around the grieving and distraught Kelly. But when the coroner ruled
Jason’s death a homicide, no one reacted more bizarrely than his widow. For months detectives tried to put Kelly’s past into
focus, but the truth was buried under a patchwork of lies, contradictions, and brutally horrific revelations. As Kelly Cochran,
a Purdue graduate and psychology major, played “catch me if you can,” a mesmerizing story emerged that rivals today’s
bestselling fiction in its drama and fascination. In the hands of veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps, her
staggering saga of murder, revenge, and payback surpasses anything that could go wrong in a season of Fargo.

The Red Ryan Western Series
William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone
From legendary Western writers William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone, this second
high-speed, blood-soaked Red Ryan adventure, is a Wild West-style road trip featuring a
stagecoach guard who’s on the lookout for justice.
First Rule of Johnstone Country: Watch your back.

Red Ryan is one of the fastest guns in the West. But this time, he’s in for the longest, hardest ride of his life. Where danger
lurks around every turn—and all roads lead to hell…
Gold. Silver. Cold hard cash. Stagecoach guard Red Ryan and his driver Buttons Muldoon have ridden shotgun on some
pretty valuable cargo in their day. But they’re about to learn—the hard way—that the most dangerous cargo of all is human.
They’ve been hired to escort a cowardly traitor facing an army court martial in New Orleans. Every hired killer in Texas
wants him dead, including gun-handy Hannah Huckabee, a woman with a mysterious past and an agenda of her own. But
she’s just one of the dangers they’ll face along the way. There are cutthroat gangs bent on slaughtering anything on two
legs. And 700 miles of the deadliest terrain Red Ryan has ever had to shoot his way out of…
William W. Johnstone is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over three hundred novels of Western
adventure, military action, chilling suspense, and survival. The son of a minister and a teacher, he left school at fifteen to
work in a carnival and then as a deputy sheriff before serving in the army. He went on to become known as ”the Greatest

Lethal but charming, the Jensen twins Ace and Chance know how to ride the savage

justice—they aren’t riding anywhere except into the meanest, dirtiest prison in the
Arizona territory…
Johnstone Country. Jailhouse Terror.

WELCOME TO THE CHAIN GANG…ALL TROUBLEMAKERS WILL BE SHOT.
When a barroom brawl lands Ace and Chance Jensen in jail, it’s just the beginning of a nightmare that will never end. Their
jail mates are army deserters. Even worse, their jailers assume Ace and Chance are deserters too. Which earns them even
more hard time—on a brutal prison chain gang…
Things go from bad to worse awfully fast. One prisoner tries to escape and gets blasted in the back. Others face horrific
torture at the hands of sadistic renegades. And the whole operation is run by a maniacal army major who’s working
the deserters to death for his own profit. Ace and Chance have no choice but to bust out of this miserable hellhole—or
die trying…

Many men fought—and many men died—in the Texas Revolution of 1836. This is the story of John Apple. A man who not
only fought in the battle of the Alamo, he lived to avenge it…
John Apple is a simple man. A gardener and preacher who lives a quiet life in Ohio. Then a broken heart sends him south.
A chance encounter with a very drunk Jim Bowie leads him to join the Texan Army. And the struggle for independence from
the brutalities of Mexican President Santa Anna teaches Apple a valuable new skill: Killing.
Working with Bowie, Sam Houston, Stephen Austin and their ragtag army, Apple becomes a secret courier and bloody
advocate for the cause. As a calling card, he plants apple seeds in the chests of every soldier he slays—and sparks fear
in the hearts of Santa Anna’s men. But nothing could prepare him for the fate that awaited them at the Alamo Mission.
Nothing could save his brothers in arms from the devastating slaughter that would go down in history. And now, for John
Apple, nothing would be sweeter than revenge…

IN LOVE WITH A BROOKLYN THUG
Nako
When what was supposed to be a fun date night opens Pandora’s Box, Nia is left feeling
betrayed. In this suspenseful and romantic series from Nako, love has been put to the
ultimate test. Can the past be forgiven?
Nia Hudson, fashion powerhouse and philanthropist, swore that love wasn’t for her because she was too busy chasing
after her dreams. The quiet girl from Brooklyn refused to go back to the projects, and being raised by her selfish aunt was
the push she needed to run far away and never return. But when a blast from the past resurfaces and refuses to take no for
an answer, Nia decides to give him one hour of her time. Surprisingly, one hour turns into a week, a week transpires into
months, and before she knows it, the two have become a couple.
Together, East and Nia don’t paint the perfect picture. They have nothing in common, and in fact, he’s the complete opposite
of everything she stands for. Dangerous, thrilling, edgy, and secretive describe her current beau. East is definitely living
life in the fast lane, selling everything he can get his hands on, and not knowing when the Feds—or enemies disguised as
friends—might come after him.

THE PERFECT LOVE STORM
Anna Black
Chase and Madison have met before, but he hadn’t seemed interested in her during any of
those brief encounters. Now, however, there is a definite connection between the bachelor
and the widow.
Chase Storm is a rich, young bachelor with no intention of settling down. His reputation as the town’s playboy is ruining his
family’s name, so his brothers decide to take action. To tame their youngest brother’s appetite for women, they offer him a
sweet deal. Unwilling at first, Chase finally agrees to take on the challenge and is introduced to Madison Atkins‑Morgan.
Madison, a widow, has moved back to her hometown of Tyler, Texas. After losing her husband and twin sons in a car wreck,
she needs a fresh start. When things don’t go as planned, she finds herself in a slump. Four years later, after having isolated
herself, she decides to rejoin the real world and start living again. Unaware of Chase’s reputation for being a ladies’ man,
she accepts his dinner invitation.
When his reputation comes to light, she chooses to continue their budding relationship. She is falling in love with the person
the whole town warned her about, and she couldn’t be happier—until she discovers she was part of a wager that could cost
both of their hearts.
Anna Black is a native of Chicago and bestselling author of the Now You Wanna Come Back series. She didn’t take
