"A must-listen domestic drama that tells the gripping story of two families faced with a tragedy that could change them forever.
Two couples. Two daughters. Two sons. One tragedy. Too many secrets.
Lauren Rivers has it all.
Two beautiful daughters, a doting husband, and a home that belongs on the cover of a magazine. She also has roots that run deep in the esteemed beach town of Flagport, Massachusetts.
When Evie Sullivan moves across the street, the two become fast friends. Evie is nothing like Lauren's other friends. She's quiet, contemplative, and holds steady to her modest upbringing. These are the things that Lauren loves about her new best friend.
But that all changes when Lauren's teenage daughter, Lily, is in a car accident. As Lauren races to the hospital to see the daughter she's always put on a pedestal, she runs into Evie's family. What she finds out next will threaten their friendship forever. Fears set in, secrets come to the surface, and one of the women must come to terms with her past."
"From T.J. Martinson, author of The Reign of the Kingfisher, comes a poignant odyssey of aging, stardom, and memory explored through the literal eyes of Marilyn Monroe.
Susan Jackson’s serene life as a sixty-eight-year-old florist living in Indiana shatters following a groundbreaking eye transplant that comes with an unexpected side-effect—visions of the life of Marilyn Monroe. Initially a harmless oddity, the invasive visions swiftly escalate as she starts morphing into the iconic actress. As Susan’s transformation becomes undeniable, a battle of wills ensues between the long-dead Hollywood icon and the woman whose body she’s seized.
Her New Eyes is an evocative literary novel, playing out against the bittersweet stage of eternal Americana-icon worship. With a dreamy atmosphere and unforgettable characters, Martinson crafts a story that will provoke introspection while entertaining."
"They seem so happy. It's all a lie...
THE WIFE: I would do anything for my loving husband Mark and I couldn’t be happier in his ocean-view home. I just wish we didn’t live near his possessive sister, Sarah. So when I’m given a winning lottery ticket, it should be our chance to start afresh somewhere new. But the publicity is too risky; if my past comes to light, I’ll end up behind bars…
THE SISTER: Everyone thinks my beautiful sister-in-law Drew is perfect, but I’m sure she’s a liar. It takes one to know one, and I have my own past to hide. So when Mark tells me she ‘lost’ a lottery ticket, I snoop around their home. And I discover something darker than I could ever have imagined…
THE HUSBAND: My new wife means the world to me. We haven’t known each other for very long, but I trust her. Until my sister shows me what’s written under an old photo. My stomach drops. I didn’t even know her real name. What else is she hiding?
Three people. Three deep secrets. And a truth that's about to explode…
A totally unputdownable and unbelievably twisty story of betrayal, lies, and secrets that will have you gripped to every page and open-mouthed at the twists. Perfect for fans of K.L. Slater, Teresa Driscoll, and Freida McFadden."
"A generation after a global plague depletes humanity and divides the world, Jenn and Mykol are brought together by a mysterious project and uncover a secret that changes everything they think they know.
On Jenn's side of the city's impenetrable walls: power, military discipline, and unimaginable technology. On Mykol's: darkened streets, deteriorating infrastructure, and a tedious job prying haunted memories from the electronic devices of those long departed. When the orphan Jenn risks everything to learn about her hidden past and her father's possible connection to the world's collapse, she and Mykol discover a secret that binds them together while glimpsing the strange reality behind the all-powerful Thomas Gibson and his Provisional Authority. Their next desperate step is attempting to save humanity from what it has wrought.
Project Chrysalis is a thrilling and terrifying portrait of how human technology might create a post-human world, and a meditation on what place love and memories would have within it."
"When Minerva identifies a murder weapon as a priceless sixteenth-century artifact, she's sure her eyes must be deceiving her. Even by Bryd Hollow standards, five hundred years seems like an absurd amount of time to hold a grudge.
The knife can't possibly be real. Can it? Each bizarre secret she uncovers leaves Minerva more determined to get to the bottom of the blade's origins. But the deeper she digs, the more she angers and alienates her new friends. And the police. And possibly a few unsavory criminals.
With nobody left on her side except her dog (and even he's getting a little mad), Minerva will have to risk everything to reveal the truth and unmask a killer. Her almost perfect new life might just depend on it."
"Flapper dresses, sidecar cocktails, and jazz: what more could a girl and her dog want?
Minerva is thrilled at the chance to spend a week at the resort, managing a Gatsby-themed role-play event—and chilled when one of the players turns up dead. With a killer on the loose, everyone from the police chief to her overprotective boyfriend wants her to back off and go home.
But Minerva can never resist the call of the past. When she hears the haunting echoes of not one but two long-forgotten crimes, she's more determined than ever not to abandon her guests. Unfortunately for her, someone else has joined the effort to discourage interference.
And unlike the others, the murderer is not asking nicely."
"From the author of Flawless and Starlight comes an emotional romance set during World War II about a female British civilian pilot and the American paratrooper medic who opens her heart—only available as an eBook.
After the War took the lives of Lulu Davies’s parents and her fiancé, she promised herself she would guard her heart carefully and concentrate on her great love—flying the biggest and best airplanes in the sky. Lulu is a pilot in the British civilian air force, ferrying planes around Great Britain and keeping her eye on a coveted spot in a training program for world-class pilots. She’s perfectly content to strive for greatness in the skies, and dance with a few GIs on the way.
Brawny, quiet American medic Joe Weber signed up with the paratroopers to escape his checkered past; he’s hoping that jumping out of planes and patching up soldiers will earn him respect and a hopeful future. Joe’s first real test of medical skill is on a pilot whose plane takes a hard landing in a training field; after rushing to the crash scene, he is stunned to come face-to-face with a gorgeous Rita Hayworth lookalike. And when the two cross paths at a dance hall a couple weeks later, he can’t resist the urge to find out more about this spirited, dark-haired beauty.
Their flirtation breaks all of Lulu’s rules, but dance by dance, week by week, walk by walk, she finds herself falling in love with this honest, vulnerable man on the run from his demons. But as Lulu and Joe’s undeniable attraction gains momentum, World War II steadily intensifies toward D-Day. The lovers only have one night together before Joe is transported to France for the Battle of the Bulge, where his skills and his instinct for survival will be pushed to their limits. Lulu distracts herself with flight school and the friendships of her colleagues, but she can’t get the handsome medic out of her head. Only time and hope will tell if her love will return unharmed from War, and if the two will be able to overcome their pasts to form a beautiful life together in peace-time."
"Delighted by the promise of living and working in a glittering Gilded Age mansion, Minerva Biggs moves to idyllic Bryd Hollow, North Carolina with her dog Plantagenet. She's looking for a new beginning; what she finds is five quite possibly deranged people, four French bulldogs, two distracting dimples attached to one inconvenient man . . . and one murder.
Nope, make that two murders. When Minerva makes a connection between her new employer's fatal fall and the death of his celebrated great-grandfather in the same spot more than a century before, she doubts that either was an accident. Delving into old secrets and new grudges, she begins to unravel the twisted threads that bind past to present. Right up until she tangles them around the wrong guy. Oops.
With a trial looming, a scandal raging, and her job prospects dwindling, Minerva races to solve both crimes. Preferably before her new beginning comes to an unfortunate end."
"From the bestselling author of Rush comes a redemptive story of a young mother at war on two fronts.
From bestselling author Kim Wozencraft comes the story of a young mother at war on two fronts: first as a soldier in Afghanistan and then upon her return to rural Granite County, New York, where one terrible mistake threatens her family and her sanity. Erin Hill enlists in the Army Reserve in an act of desperation. She and her husband have both lost their jobs and their marriage is disintegrating. Assured that the odds of deployment are extremely low, Erin now finds herself on an Army base in the middle of a combat zone, where it’s sometimes hard to tell who the enemy is—especially when a respected sergeant turns predator. When Erin returns stateside and reunites with her family, her battle for survival truly begins. Flooded with traumatic memories, with no prospects for jobs or treatment for PTSD, her husband involved with a new woman, Erin falls into the bottle head-first. After a nearly fatal night of despair, she is swept up into a vast and indifferent bureaucracy that threatens to take her children from her—forever. Neglect is a profound story of mother love."
