"He never sticks around. She makes him want to.
Grace Day is Strawberry Springs' designated 'good girl.' Her people-pleasing tendencies have kept her out of the rumor mill, which is exactly where she wants to stay. But when a hot-as-hell playboy in a cowboy hat blows into town, she's tempted to do something out of character. When one night with no attachments turns into two nights and feelings she can't ignore, Grace realizes that she's set herself up for heartbreak. After he leaves town as promised, she realizes that she'll be left to pick up the pieces on her own . . . until she sees two lines on a pregnancy test.

When she finds him and tells him that she's pregnant with his baby, he realizes that there's no keeping his distance this time. He's determined to be there for the mother of his child, but he's been scarred by love before, and that's a risk he's not willing to take.
As her due date approaches, Grace and Dean have to decide what life looks like with each other in it. Will they retreat into old patterns to protect themselves, or can they grow into something more?

While their on-screen romance had been planned, she's crushed when he rejects the idea of it ever becoming real. With the next season of the show rapidly approaching and the network demanding she keep up appearances, Wren is desperate to find a way out of pretending to be in love with the man who broke her heart. When small-town rumors swirl around her and the sexy local doctor, she realizes there's no better way to get over a fake relationship than to get right into another one.
Henry Connor enjoys his quiet life in Strawberry Springs. Everyone thinks he's cool, calm, and collected—and so long as he follows his carefully curated routines and rules, they always will. But when a strawberry-blonde starlet crashes into his life and pulls him into the spotlight, Henry feels his control slipping. His biggest fear? Showing the parts of himself he's tried so hard to hide . . . and falling for the strong, beautiful woman who is definitely way out of his league.
As things heat up both on and off camera, Wren and Henry realize that neither can play the part they're supposed to. Will they cling to who they've been told to be, or will they realize that they can trust each other to be themselves just as they are?

"It's cozy. It's culinary. It's Mardi Gras madness! It's the fifth book in this fabulous mystery series with a vintage flair from USA Today-bestselling and Agatha Award–winning author Ellen Byron.
Step 1: join a killer krewe
It's carnival season in New Orleans, and Ricki James-Diaz and her friends from Bon Vee are dressing up for Mardi Gras. They've joined the notorious krewe of Chew to support Ricki's chef boyfriend, Virgil, who is to be crowned this year's king. It's all fun, throws, and over-the-top outfits until the krewe's captain is found strangled with his own medallion.
Step 2: survive the festivities
The prime suspect is Ricki's friend, the deceased's wife who discovered he was cheating on her. It seems a straightforward case, but Ricki isn't so sure. The krewe's leader had many enemies, including his mistress, his krewe cofounder who he ousted, and his college friend whose girlfriend he stole. One thing's clear, Ricki's at the center of yet another murder investigation. And if she's not careful, her first Mardi Gras could also be her last . . ."
"It's October in Gold Rush country and all manner of tricks and treats are happening in the lead-up to Halloween. October also happens to be the birthday of Angus Sprockles, the man responsible for the town being designated a historic landmark, and the residents are celebrating his memory as well. His only living descendant, Moses Sprockles, runs the narrow-gauge railroad—once used to ferry lumber from the mountains to the sawmill, now a tourist attraction. The Sprockles Railroad is hosting a Halloween-themed fundraiser for the Historical Society.
But when a body is found on the tracks, it's not a Halloween prank. It's Moses himself, seemingly felled by a fallen tree branch. Dee's dad Sam is convinced his friend is the victim of foul play and urges his daughter to apply her sleuthing skills. Dee's train of thought leads her to suspects ranging from a former child star and one-hit wonder, the owner of a nail salon with her claws in everything, and even the mayor. When a self-proclaimed ghost hunter throws his hat in the ring and claims to know who did it, the investigation really goes off the rails. No matter how crazy things get, Dee is determined to blow the whistle on a runaway killer with a one-track mind."
"When Lindsey Bakewell leaves behind her lighthouse bakeshop, her boyfriend, Rory, and her Newfoundland dog, Wellington, for a glamping trip with her mother in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the bears leave them alone—but a killer doesn't.
Converting the old Beacon Point lighthouse into a bakery is as adventurous as Lindsey cares to get. Her mother, Ellie, a former 80s fashion model, likes her creature comforts even more—until she sees a business opportunity for her Beacon Harbor fashion boutique when she's invited by the Mitten Kittens Glamping Club on a woodsy getaway.
Far from roughing it, the ladies will be warm and cozy in chic vintage campers. Ellie insists Lindsey come along to win the campfire cookout contest. Campfire cooking has come a long way from bacon and beans. Soon Lindsey is making pizza, berry cobbler, and gooey Carmelita camping bars.
But the festive spirit is dampened when a body is found in Ellie's camper. It seems like an accidental death until everyone's tires are slashed and it's clear the glampsite has become a crime scene. With no cell service to call for help, it's up to Lindsey to smoke out the killer around the campfire.
Because no one is out of the woods yet."
"He's the grumpy farmer stuck in a rut. She's the city girl who changes everything.
Mollie Wilson has everything she's supposed to want—a stable job at her family's company, a fiancé, and a high rise in the heart of Nashville. But the noise, the rush, and the expectations all leave her longing for the quiet peace of her grandfather's farm, the last place she remembers being truly happy. When her family reveals that the farm wasn't sold off after all and was left in a trust for her, she's torn. They want her to sell it to fund her future, but she's starting to wonder if she'll truly be happy with a life in the city.
For ten years, Cain Smith has lived and worked on Bennie Grove Farm alone—until a stunning city girl claiming to be the owner breaks into his house and turns his quiet, controlled world upside down. He doesn't trust her, but he's sure that his surly attitude will cause her to leave, just like everyone else has. She's a distraction he doesn't need, not when he's trying to single-handedly run the farm and raise his young nephew, the only family he has left.
When trouble comes knocking at the farmhouse door, Mollie and Cain are both faced with an uncomfortable question—can they learn to rely on each other, or will they keep running from their pasts? But no matter what they choose, they know that nothing will ever be as it was again.
Contains mature themes."
"When Henri Devecheaux receives a curious shipment from his friend Lamont, among the treasures lies a lantern unlike any other. This spectral light, sent to Henri in hopes of finding a resolution to its haunting luminescence, sets him on a journey into the heart of the paranormal.
The quest for answers leads Henri to the old Franklin Theatre in DeRidder, Louisiana. The theatre's past intertwines with Henri's own history in the world of the stage. As he peels back the layers of the theatre's story, he discovers the lantern's origin—a relic from the theatre's golden days, reluctant to be parted from the spotlight.
Franklin Theatre, now a shadow of its former glory, holds a mysterious adage: the stage light must always burn, a sentinel against the gathering of restless spirits seeking closure. Is it a guardian for the living, a beacon for the spirits of performers long past, or something more sinister, a harbinger of chaos?
As Henri, Aggie, and Detra Ann delve deeper into the mystery, they find themselves confronting more than just a ghostly apparition. The journey tests their courage, challenging them to decipher whether the phantom lamp is a protector or a portal to a darker world."
"The south's spookiest antique store offers another haunting artifact.
The Devecheauxs take ownership of an unusual collection of statuary, but these heartbreaking tributes to the dead come with an unwanted attachment. A ghost that could potentially harm Chloe by teaching her dangerous things—like how to play with fire.
When Phoenix and Aggie detect the threat, they put their skills to the test to prove their theory that the ghost child isn't merely that. They could be dealing with something far more dangerous.
Patrice has an experience of her own—one that shakes her beliefs to the core while Detra Ann makes a long overdue decision.
Enjoy another haunting visit to Devecheaux Antiques and Haunted Things. You're sure to find something that frightens you.
A Watch of Weeping Angels is Book 3 in this exciting series by authors M. L. Bullock and A. E. Chewing."
"In the heart of the shop's eerie collection, Aggie receives a foreboding message from her sister, Patrice, igniting a series of events that spiral beyond the ordinary. Patrice, ensnared by the charm of the mysterious Philip Arnaud, unknowingly steps into a shadowed world where past and present collide.
Aggie, with her acute sensitivity to the supernatural, suspects there's more to Philip than meets the eye—a suspicion confirmed when she encounters a hauntingly familiar ring. Her touch reveals a ghostly truth: a long-dead noblewoman, bound to an antique hand mirror.
The plot thickens when Patrice, driven by an unknown force, absconds with the mirror from Devecheaux Antiques. Aggie, along with the Devecheauxs and her ally Phoenix, race against time to rescue her. The mirror blurs the lines between life and death. Could it truly resurrect the dead? Is it a portal to another world?
As the enigma of Philip Arnaud unravels, questions mount. Is he a conduit to the supernatural? What dark secrets does he harbor?
Phoenix, with connections to the arcane, may hold the key to thwarting Philip's ominous influence. But is their knowledge enough to sever the spectral bonds ensnaring Patrice?"
