Eighties supermodel Harlow Hayes seeks solace in a quaint Florida beach town to hide and heal from a
heartbreak that shattered her entire world. To her surprise, she encounters Matt Knight--a Hollywood A-lister
with a bad-boy reputation--who has returned to his hometown to help his plucky grandmother, Tuesday, save
her century-old skating rink, the Starlight.
The Starlight holds a special place in the hearts of the community, once acting as a refuge for Depression-era
families and bringing the town together with gatherings and celebrations. Tuesday's determination and resilience
even protected her beloved rink from her husband's shady business dealings. Yet when the Starlight
is threatened with demolition, Tuesday may not be able to stop it.
As Matt and Harlow plot with Tuesday to save the Starlight, they find themselves on a journey of surprises,
self-discovery, and the kind of healing that leads to love.
New York Times bestselling author Rachel Hauck weaves a heartfelt tale of romance, perseverance, and the
enduring power of community.
A memoir of homecoming – Heidi Across America is a gritty story of how opening our hearts to others enables
us to open our hearts to ourselves and love what we find there.
In the summer of 2010, Heidi Beierle had just finished her first year of graduate studies in community and
regional planning and decided to pedal her bicycle solo from her home on the west coast across rural America
to the Preserving the Historic Road conference in Washington, D.C. What started as a research trip turned into
an intimately physical and psychological encounter with self and nationhood.
Heidi was 35 at the time and didn’t love much about herself except her ability to endure grueling physical
undertakings. She viewed her journey as an opportunity to fix her failures and insufficiencies. There were also
some research questions she wanted to explore: Why do people live in small towns and what do they like about
it? Did a bicyclist like herself bring economic benefit to the small towns she visited? What could communities
do to support or invite cyclists to stay in their towns? What could cyclists do to support the communities?
Along the way, she was surprised by the kindness of strangers and the emotional pinch of traveling through
Wyoming where she grew up. Her journey led her through the Plains and into the Ozarks where the heat
climbed to agonizing temperatures and every pedal stroke in the heat felt one closer to death. By the time she
completed the trip, Heidi discovered a newfound compassion for herself and a growing love for her country.
Strangers opened their hearts to her and in turn, she opened her heart to herself.
And her questions began to change and mirror things many Americans are asking themselves today: How can I
be okay in my own skin? What does it mean to be enough? How do I satisfy my desire to travel without harming
the planet? What does it mean to love America?
For many young people, it is a rite of passage to light out on an adventure to see the world and expose
themselves to new experiences, but we don’t often talk about how Americans seeing America can open us
to the diversity, awe, and wonder available right here in our nation. Heidi Across America offers a journey to
self-love, empathy, consideration for others, and respect for the spirit of place as pathways to find connection
and home.

At the end of the world, a groundbreaking scientific experiment will change everything.
Dr. Laura Reynolds had it all. A job she loved. The respect of her peers. Student debt she was slowly chipping away at.
And one day, it all went away.
She saw the wrong thing—a colleague's mistake. And to escape, he framed her.
Laura's only option is to join a secretive research project in Antarctica, where she hopes to keep practicing medicine and one day get her life back. But soon after arriving, she realizes that things aren't what they seem in this advanced facility.
And perhaps something strange is happening in the world outside.
Welcome to Antarctica Station, A.G. Riddle's first new sci-fi thriller in almost a year. It's a deep dive into the science and history of Antarctica—with a twist few will see coming.
Asher has been training her entire life to become a Sor-Commander. One day, she’ll give her soul to the gilded, mechanical body of the Sor and become a commander to a whole battalion of Dedicates. These soldiers, human bodies encased in exoskeletons, with extra
arms, and telepathic subordination to the SorCommanders, are the only thing that’s kept the much larger Levastani army of conquest at bay for decades.
But while on a training journey, Asher and her party are attacked, and her commander is incapacitated, leaving her alone to lead the unit across a bitterly cold, unstable mountain. Worse, one of the Dedicates is not what they seem: a spy for the enemy, with their own
reasons to hate their mechanical body and the people who put them in it.
To get off the mountain alive, Asher and her unit will need to decide how much they’re willing to sacrifice—and what for.
Can she set aside the pain from the past to embrace a new love?

But when Mark learns his younger brother has formed an undesirable friendship with Isabelle’s sister—one that brings a whole new set of problems into their lives—he doesn’t know if Isabelle will ever forgive him.
When startling developments begin to take place, both within Isabelle’s heart and their siblings’ relationship, her future looks very different than anything she could have imagined.
Selei City is the capital of the Imerialte and one of the most desired locales in all of the Skolian Empire. But its thin veneer of civilization is cracked when a series of brutal crimes implicates those in political power in a vast conspiracy. Three
prominent scientists have lost their lives to a serial killer—and notes at the scenes of the crimes lead to a connection to the Royalist political party.
Major Bhaajan, former military officer turned private detective, is called back to Selei City to solve the crime. Bhaaj and her crew of Undercity Dust Knights plunge into the Byzantine world of Imperial politics—a jigsaw world where none of the
pieces seem to fit. As the assassination plot becomes more and more convoluted, Bhaaj is kidnapped, threatened with death, and must fight for her life against the growing number of people threatened by her investigation. Bhaaj has faced all
this and more, but now she must deal with something far deadlier—interstellar politics.

SNAP agent and former Navy cryptologist Kekoa Young is tasked with monitoring Elinor. This is both convenient since she’s his neighbor in Washington, DC, and decidedly inconvenient because … well, he kind of likes her. As Elinor follows the clues her grandfather left behind to a top-secret nuclear project, Kekoa has no choice but to step in. And with danger closing in on all sides, Elinor will have to trust the man who has been spying on her to ensure her discoveries stay out of enemy hands—and she stays alive.

Beauty and glamour meet deception and revenge in this electrifying novel by New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick. Investigative apprentice Lyra Brazier, the newest resident of Burning Cove, is unsettled when her boss suddenly disappears. Lyra knows something has happened to Raina Kirk, and she tracks down Raina's last known appearance at an exclusive hotel and health spa. The health spa is known for its luxurious offerings and prestigious clientele, and the wealthy socialite background Lyra desperately wanted to leave behind is perfect for this undercover job. What Lyra lacks in investigative experience she makes up for in gut instinct, and her gut isn't happy that she's saddled with a partner by Luther Pell, Raina's dangerous lover, who wants to bring in someone with more experience to help. Instead of the suave, pistol-packing private eye she expected, though, Simon Cage is a mild-mannered antiquarian book dealer with a quiet, academic air and a cool, remote gaze. Lyra suspects that Simon is much more than what he seems, and her instincts are confirmed when they arrive at the spa and pose as a couple: Simon has a unique gift that allows him to detect secrets, a skill that is crucial in finding Raina. The unlikely duo falls down a rabbit hole of twisted rumors and missing socialites, discovering that the health spa is a facade for something much darker than they imagined. With a murderer in their midst, Raina isn't the only one in grave danger-Lyra is next.
