Two years later, she's back in her hometown, Ceres Cove, living in her brother's loft and working at the town's only bookstore, all while plotting how she can get back to her high profile life in New York. When the bookstore owner passes away, one too many martini's leaves grief-stricken Lottie to have a one-night stand with a man seven years her junior.

After a childhood spent bouncing around cities with his single mom, freelance photographer Knox Riddick has no intention of putting down roots. But when he's summoned to the small town Ceres Cove, Maine after his estranged father's death, the last thing Knox expects is to inherit a percentage of a bookstore or for the other part of it to be left to the beautiful woman he last saw sneaking out of his hotel room days before.

If Lottie and Knox want to have any chance of getting back to their lives, they must work together to fix up the bookstore and sell it. This means keeping their hands off one another, no matter how strong the temptation is. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is for Lottie to ignore her feelings, including her lingering fear that Knox will reject her once he learns she can't have kids. And when they give into their desire for one another, they might learn firsthand why mixing business with pleasure always is a recipe for disaster!

Blood Rivalry, the third book in the Atkins Family Low Country Saga series, finds Walker and Eli Atkins, living in Charleston, South Carolina, fifteen years after the conclusion of Eli's Redemption. Eli, a celebrated chef, and Walker, a lawyer, are brothers, building families and careers, each affected by the gruesome murder twenty years ago of Eli's high school sweetheart. The hunt for the killer, in the public's eyes, cemented Eli and Walker in roles neither wanted-Eli as the savior and Walker in need of a savior-thus casting a chill over their relationships.

Walker sees a chance to play the hero when, through his representation of two clients, he takes on the Governor of South Carolina, Johnny Dunsmore, the eldest son of Colin Dunsmore, the patriarch of a politically powerful family. For fifty years, Colin Dunsmore carefully crafted an image for the family, intent on placing Johnny in the White House. But Walker uncovers a history of deceit and murder that defines the family, and as he pulls at strings, Colin Dunsmore's tapestry of lies begins to unravel.

Confronted with the Dunsmore's ruthlessness and the knowledge that they will stop at nothing to win, Walker turns to Eli and together they embark on a cross-country race with the Dunsmores to secure the secrets, that if revealed, would upend their empire.

London, 1953. Buckingham Palace and the many employees vital to the smooth running of the monarchy find themselves in bedlam as the Queen's coronation quickly approaches.

Caroline Brimstone, assistant dresser to the queen, watches the queen finding the strength to rule--a woman taking charge of her future. Meanwhile, Caroline's life is worn thin by her gambler husband, and she is barely holding on as every penny she earns seems to run out the door. When a trip to Balmoral brings her face-to-face with the man she once loved, she finds herself at a crossroads between what her life is and what her life could be. Can she, like the queen, find the strength to define her own future?

Lucy Jones is a junior wardrobe assistant who positively radiates life--she's young, idealistic, and eager to become a famous singer. So when a handsome, wealthy man at the palace promises to help her on her way to stardom, she's over the moon to have such a supportive husband-to-be. And if he's asking some things of her that she's not quite sure about, isn't that just part of the glamorous life?

Miranda Miller has come over from America just in time to help with preparations as a temporary secretary in the palace. The job is a perfect way to gather information for the article she's writing about the coronation for a magazine back in New York; the article that will keep her boss from firing her because of her gender.

But as all three women discover, just because a woman will soon be sitting upon the throne, it doesn't mean that society will change overnight--and if they want to carve places for themselves in this world, they'll have to do it together.

A HARPER'S BAZAAR AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

Who is Francis Fox? A charming English teacher new to the idyllic Langhorne Academy, Fox beguiles many of his students, their parents, and his colleagues at the elite boarding school, while leaving others wondering where he came from and why his biography is so enigmatic. When two brothers discover Fox's car half-submerged in a pond in a local nature preserve and parts of an unidentified body strewn about the nearby woods, the entire community, including Detective Horace Zwender and his deputy, begins to ask disturbing questions about Francis Fox and who he might really be.

A hypnotic, galloping tale of crime and complicity, revenge and restitution, victim vs. predator, Joyce Carol Oates's Fox illuminates the darkest corners of the human psyche while asking profound moral questions about justice and the response evil demands. A character as magnetically diabolical as Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley and Vladimir Nabokov's Humbert Humbert, Francis Fox enchants and manipulates nearly everyone around him, until at last he meets someone he can't outfox. Written in Oates's trademark intimate, sweeping style, and interweaving multiple points of view, Fox is a triumph of craftsmanship and artistry, a novel as profound as it is propulsive, as moving as it is full of mystery.

A boy who feels misunderstood. A dog who just can't stay out of trouble. And a story that proves you don't have to be perfect to be loved.

When seven-year-old Xion lost his IEP at school, he suddenly felt like no one understood him-not his teachers, not his classmates, maybe not even his parents. So he began writing about a dog who always seemed to get into trouble without meaning to. A dog who, just like him, was trying her very best.

With the help of his mom, Xion shaped that idea into a story about two unlikely friends who discover that being "different" doesn't make you wrong-and that the right tools are sometimes all you need. This story, born from real childhood feelings, celebrates empathy, second chances, and the unique way kids make sense of their world. Perfect for any child who has ever felt misunderstood-and any parent who wants to remind them they're not alone.

Designed as an accessible 52-week companion, this inspiring guide invites Baby Boomers and Gen Xers to reimagine aging with confidence, vitality, and purpose. Drawing on research-informed tools and practical reflections, it encourages readers to tap into inner strengths, embrace meaningful shifts, and discover everyday "ah-ha" moments that spark renewal.

Whether you seek greater wellbeing, deeper meaning, or renewed fulfillment from midlife through older adulthood, this uplifting resource reminds us that aging well is an active journey-and that the best chapters may still lie ahead.

A forgotten past. A dangerous legacy. A city that remembers everything.

Amira thought leaving East Palo Alto was how you survived.

You get out. You build a new life. You don't look back.

But the city never forgot her.

When Amira returns home after years away, she expects familiar streets and lingering memories; nothing more. Instead, she steps into a quiet storm of watchful eyes, whispered warnings, and a sense that something is moving just beneath the surface. The past she buried hasn't stayed buried. It's been waiting!

Then there's Jayden.

The boy who once watched over her from the shadows is now a man who moves with intention and secrets of his own. He knows the streets. He knows the danger. And he knows far more about Amira's family than she ever did. His presence is unsettling, protective, and impossible to ignore, especially as the tension between them reignites in ways neither expected.

What begins as a tense reunion turns deadly when Amira learns the truth: her mother didn't die by chance. She died protecting something powerful, something hidden deep within the city's underbelly. A secret tied to bloodlines, buried alliances, and a vault no one was ever meant to open again.

Now, Amira is the last living connection to that secret.

As a hidden organization resurfaces, the streets she once loved become a battleground. Old loyalties fracture. Enemies reveal themselves. And the block she grew up on is forced to reckon with a danger that threatens everyone it touches.

Jayden is pulled into the crossfire, not by accident, but by design. Their families are bound by a history written long before either of them understood what was at stake. Together, they hold two pieces of a legacy that could expose the truth... or destroy them both.

With every step closer to the truth, the danger tightens. Trust becomes fragile. Love becomes risky. And survival demands more than strength, it demands sacrifice.

Because in East Palo Alto, the past doesn't fade quietly.

It watches. It waits. And when the time comes, it collects.

Shadows in Blue is a gripping urban suspense novel layered with mystery, emotional depth, and slow-burning tension. It explores generational secrets, community loyalty, and the cost of inheriting a truth no one prepared you for.

Some shadows protect you.

Others hunt you.

And once they recognize you...there's no going back!
