The Rogues Redeemed Series
Mary Jo Putney
Renowned for her unique blend of adventure, wit and sweeping romance, New York
Times bestselling—and one of romance’s most critically acclaimed author—Mary Jo Putney
matches a dashing spy with a woman whose past will bear no scrutiny in Napoleonic
era London.
LOVE AND SURVIVAL IN THE SHADOW OF WATERLOO…

Wearied by his years as a British intelligence officer, Simon Duval resigns his commission after Napoleon’s abdication.
Hoping to find new meaning in his life, he returns to England, where he discovers his cousin’s widow, Suzanne Duval,
the Comtesse de Chambron. Working as a seamstress, living in reduced circumstances, Suzanne has had a life as
complicated as Simon’s. While both believe they are beyond love, their sympathetic bond leads him to propose a marriage
of companionship, and Suzanne accepts.
She didn’t want or expect a true marriage, but as Suzanne joins Simon in a search for his long missing foster brother, warmth
and caring begin to heal both their scars—and a powerful passion sparks between them. Then news from France threatens
to disrupt their happiness. Napoleon has escaped from Elba and Wellington personally asks Simon to help prevent another
devastating war. Only this time, Simon does not go into danger alone. He and Suzanne will face deadly peril together, and
pray that love will carry them through…

FALLEN
The Deep Ops Series
Rebecca Zanetti
New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti’s second Deep Ops novel brims with
action, suspense and sensual tension, as a talented hacker-turned-security consultant and
her F.B.I.-appointed handler fake an engagement in order to bust human traffickers.
Too quiet. A talented hacker who got caught, Brigid Banaghan is now forced to work with a secret Deep Ops unit. But
she won’t reveal any more to these renegade Feds than she has to. Especially not to Raider Tanaka, her control freak of
a bodyguard and handler. It’s enough that his body is tensed for action and his heated gaze is always on her…
Too sharp. Raider knows there’s more to his new assignment than he’s been told. Why send a deadly agent of his experience
to guard a computer genius—even a gorgeous, unpredictable, undisciplined one? But when Brigid’s estranged father is
named in an investigation into Boston’s organized crime, Raider’s mind switches onto high alert, just like his senses…
Too close. To clear her father’s name, Brigid needs Raider’s help. The Unit’s idea that she bring a straight-laced Fed in as
her “fiancé” won’t fly, though—not unless Raider can release his inner bad boy and become the rebel Brigid can’t resist…

SCANDALOUS
The Outcasts Series
Minerva Spencer
A Regency-set romance designed for a new, younger audience, but ideal for every reader
with all of the action and adventure of Mary Jo Putney, the wit of Madeline Hunter, the
high-seas flair of Johanna Lindsey, and unforgettable sensuality that burns off the page. In
this third installment of Outcast series, a straight-laced missionary and a dangerous ship
captain grapple with their intense attraction in close quarters…
“Have you no decency?”

Straight-laced missionary Sarah Fisher has never met a man like Captain Martin Bouchard. He is the most beautiful person—
male or female—she’s ever seen. Overwhelmingly masculine, elegantly attired despite months at sea, he is in complete
command of everyone and everything around him: everyone, that is, except Sarah. But that’s about to change because Sarah
has bought Bouchard’s mercy with the only thing she has to sell: her body.
“None at all…”
In spite of her outrageous offer, Martin has no doubt Sarah is a virgin, and a most delectable one at that. But instead of
bedding her, he finds himself staring down the muzzle of his own pistol. Clearly, the longer she stays on his ship, the greater
the chances that she’ll end up its damned captain! Most infuriating of all, she looks past his perfect exterior to the wounded
man inside. Can Martin outrun his scandalous past in time to have a future with the first woman to find and capture his heart?

NEW BEGINNINGS AT PROMISE LODGE
The Promise Lodge Series
Charlotte Hubbard
New babies, new romance and a new pie shop are just some of the new beginnings in the
homspun Amish community of Promise Lodge. Readers familiar with the series will eagerly
return to favorite haunts, while new fans will be charmed by the warm welcome and gentle
humor of its inhabitants from beloved inspirational author Charlotte Hubbard.
Spring blossoms with new life and new beginnings for the flourishing Amish community of Promise Lodge. And as a
just-opened bakery sweetens the air with fresh-baked goodness, residents will find that change can be a most joyous test…
Recently widowed after twenty years of marriage, Frances Lehman is only just tasting the freedom and opportunity that her
Promise Lodge friends enjoy. So she’s not about to be pressured into marriage by her widowed brother-in-law, even if she and
her daughter have no real means of support. Much more promising is her new friendship with Preacher Marlin Kurtz, though
their respective families don’t see their relationship as proper…
When Frances suffers a serious injury, she’s determined to prove she can recover—and remain independent—without
burdening Marlin. Now, with his steadfast belief in real love tested, Marlin’s hope is that Promise Lodge’s irrepressible
residents can help him restore Frances’ joy—and that faith will show them a way to turn their fragile second chance
into a blessed and abiding future together…

ONLY FOR YOU
Hannah Howell
Hannah Howell’s very first historical romance for Kensington, Only For You, has been
gorgeous repackaged and republished for a modern audience who are eager to see where
Hannah Howell’s career began—with a sweeping Medieval-set epic featuring a rugged
noble warrior and a feisty woman bent on exacting revenge.
As wild as the rugged North Country where she was raised, Saxan Honey Todd has sworn to avenge the murder of her twin
brother. Recklessly, she gallops across the English countryside in pursuit of the man she believes to be his murderer: Botolf,
Earl of Regenford.
As hard and unyielding as the armor he wears in battle, Botolf is irresistibly drawn to the impetuous beauty who has come
to wage war with him. Saxan stirs his passion like no other woman has…
Now as a desperate enemy stalks him and the greensward runs with innocent blood, Botolf brings Saxan to his castle—as
his bride. But Saxan needs to fight by Botolf’s side and triumph over the danger that surrounds them before she can surrender
her heart completely to him…

Knits, jumpstarting a blog, and handcrafting items with the help of her knitting pals, Josie’s too preoccupied to worry about
her past in New York. And thanks to Lyndon and Harry, the owners of the brand-new shop next door, she has another project
in her midst—repurposing a box of vintage crocheted doilies adorned with the most curious needlework…
But before Josie can formally welcome her neighbors, she discovers Lyndon on the floor of his shop stabbed to death by a
rusty old pair of sheep shears. Police have pinned Harry as the killer, but Josie isn’t so sure. Now, she’s lacing up for another
homicide investigation—and no eyelet or stitch can go unexamined, lest she herself becomes ensnared in the criminal’s
deadly design…

AUTUMN ALIBI
The Wiccan Wheel Mystery Series
Jennifer David Hesse
In Jennifer David Hesse’s sixth Wiccan Wheel Mystery, family secrets, a missing will, and
an untimely death converge with Mabon, the Wiccan Autumn Equinox. It’s up to Wiccan
attorney Keli Milanni to unearth the missing details with the help of her boyfriend before
death comes calling…
After a hectic year, Edindale, Illinois, attorney Keli Milanni is ready to welcome autumn by counting her many blessings.
But a case of murder could cause her to fall behind…
Keli is hoping that Mabon, the Wiccan Autumn Equinox, will bring balance back into her life. But it’s death that comes
calling when she’s asked to consult on an estate case. Recently passed, Elaine Turnbull left everything, including her
valuable art and antiques collection, to her granddaughter, Lana. But Lana has been missing for years, ever since a tragedy
tore her family apart. Also missing may be Elaine’s most recent will. Then there’s the not-so-small detail that Elaine’s
death by natural causes may not have been so natural after all…
With the help of her boyfriend Wes, who knew Lana in high school, Keli starts digging into Elaine’s past—and her journals.
Soon she discovers that everyone, from Elaine’s caretaker to her curator, had a motive for murder—along with a seemingly
rock-solid alibi. Between missing people, missing documents, a string of vandalism against her friends, and the sense she’s
being stalked, Keli is feeling a disturbing chill. Now not even her Wiccan protection rituals may save her from a killer with
a cold heart that’s far from grateful…

FUDGE BITES
The Candy-Coated Mystery Series
Nancy Coco
In Nancy Coco’s seventh Candy-Coated Mystery, it’s Halloween on Mackinac Island,
but when fudge shop owner Allie McMurphy stumbles across a real corpse during the
annual charity zombie walk, it’s not a trick or a treat! With fun recipes, cute pets, quirky
characters, and an endearing young protagonist, the Candy-Coated Mysteries have
the perfect ingredients for cozy mystery fans.
NIGHT OF THE REALLY DEAD…

It’s late October, off-season for tourists, but locals are up and lurching for the annual zombie walk charity event. Though
everyone’s living it up, trouble is a just a few pawprints away. Allie’s followed the bloody tracks of her calico cat, Carmella,
to a body in the alley behind the Historic McMurphy Hotel and Fudge Shop. Unlike the island’s other walking dead, this one’s
flatlined for good. It seems that someone is using the zombie fest as the perfect backdrop for murder. Now amateur sleuth
Allie and dreamboat officer Rex Manning must use every trick in their treat bag to unmask a killer in disguise.

LATE CHECKOUT
The Witch City Mystery Series
Carol J. Perry
In Carol J. Perry’s ninth Witch City Mystery, a dead ballplayer means foul play in Salem…
Field reporter Lee Barrett is not happy that her hours are being cut back at WICH-TV, although it is nice to spend more time
volunteering with Aunt Ibby, a research librarian at Salem’s main branch. But Lee’s least favorite task is going up to the
stacks, a spooky, seldom-frequented upper section of the library. On this day she has good reason to be afraid—she finds
a dead man, surrounded by hundreds of scattered books and torn-out pages.
Her police detective beau, Pete Mondello, is soon on the scene, and the deceased is identified as a former minor league
baseball player—and ex-con—named Wee Willie Wallace, who hasn’t been seen in Salem for twenty years. With help
from her friend River’s Tarot reading, her clairvoyant cat O’Ryan, and Lee’s own psychic gifts, she steps up to the plate to
catch the killer who took the old ballplayer out of the game…

carpet, forfeiting the coveted Astercromb mansion contract. But will Tallie be able to dust
off the details of her former competition’s murky past before the killer strikes again?
Live and let dust…

Now that Tallie Graver’s cleaning business is starting to shine, she’s ready to go squeegee to squeegee against Audra
McNeal for a major contract at the Astercromb mansion. Tallie’s not afraid of a little friendly competition from the new
cleaner in town. In fact, Tallie likes Audra, though she wonders how her glamorous rival manages to clean house and
maintain her fancy manicure. Tallie has her rubber-gloves full staying one step ahead of her nemesis. Until she finds
a well-polished hand poking out of a rolled-up carpet, rendering her competition…dead.
Though it lands Tallie the big job, there’s nothing tidy about Audra’s death. So between polishing and scrubbing, Tallie’s
determined to find the killer. Hopefully the police chief doesn’t mind her cluttering up his investigation with the filthy
dealings she discovers. Turns out Audra was not as squeaky clean as she appeared. And confronting her killer could bring
Tallie to a very foul end indeed…

Siamese cat RahRah, she knows just to right recipe to save her mother after she’s
accused of murdering the president of the town bank and city council…
Far from a domestic goddess, Sarah Blair would rather catch bad guys than slave over a hot stove. But when a dangerous

Things are finally looking up for Sarah Blair following her unsavory divorce. Settled into a cozy carriage house with her sassy

When the president of the town bank and city council is murdered after icing Emily’s business plans, all eyes are on the one
person who left the scene with blood on her hands—the Blair girls’ sharp-tongued mother, Maybelle. Determined to get
her mom off the hook ASAP, Sarah must collect the ingredients of a deadly crime to bring the true culprit to justice. But as
neighbors turn against her family, can she pare down the suspects before another victim lands on the chopping block?

blamed for the death of a delivery driver after a neighborhood pizza parlor goes up in

When investigators determine a rag soaked with gasoline in a bottle from the winery started the blaze, police suspect both

TEMPTED AT MIDNIGHT
Cheris Hodges
For fans of Brenda Jackson, Cheris Hodges brings the heat in a new contemporary
romance where New Year’s Eve fireworks last long past the stroke of midnight.
For hopeless romantic Sylvie Gates, there’s nothing quite as magical as a New Year’s Eve kiss. So as the clock nears
midnight at her best friend’s party, Sylvie makes a beeline for the sexiest guy in the room. A happily-ever-after would
be nice of course, but Sylvie’s trying to live in the moment. Plus, she’s about to begin the biggest project of her interior
design career, so she better just enjoy her last night of freedom.
Newly appointed CEO of troubled Jordan Industries, Erik Jordan expects New Year’s Eve is the last night off he’ll have
all year—and he plans to make the most of it. Locking lips with gorgeous Sylvie is just the beginning of an unforgettably
steamy night together. But the fact that she steals his signature move and slips away in the morning is only the first
surprise. The second is running into her again—at her job remodeling his company. Is it coincidence—or the power of
a perfectly-timed kiss? With the electricity still crackling between them, and some major challenges ahead of them,
they’ll find out before the year is through.

DARK WINTER
The Jake Mahegan Thriller Series
Anthony J. Tata
In a blistering scenario almost too close to the headlines, former Brigadier General
Anthony J. Tata delivers a chillingly authentic glimpse of tomorrow’s wars—and the
anonymous hackers who hold the fate of the world at their fingertips…
By the time anyone realizes what’s happening, it is too late. A dark network of hackers has infiltrated the computers of the
U.S. military, unleashing chaos across the globe. U.S. missiles strike the wrong targets. Defense systems fail. Power grids
shut down. Within hours, America’s enemies move in. Russian tanks plow through northern Europe. Iranian troops invade
Iraq. North Korean destroys Seoul and fires missiles at Japan.
Phase 1 of ComWar is complete.
Enter Jake Mahegan and his team of highly trained operatives. Their mission is to locate the nerve center of ComWar—
a.k.a. Computer Optimized Warfare—and to shut down the operation through any means necessary. Mahegan knows
it’s a virtual suicide mission. There are three ComWar headquarters, each hidden deep underground in Russia, Iran, and
North Korea. Splitting up the team is Mahegan’s only chance to prevent the next wave of cyber attacks. But even that
won’t stop the sleeper cell agents—here in the United States…
When Phase 2 ends, World War III begins.

“shotgun wedding”…
Johnstone. Where it’s never quiet on the Western front.

Here come the brides. And the bullets…
Bo Creel and Scratch Morton are lifelong drifters who keep one eye on the horizon, one finger on the trigger, and one foot
out the door. Roaming the West is what keeps them young, or so Scratch tells Bo. But when they save the life of Cyrus
Keegan—the owner of a matrimonial agency—they receive an unexpected proposal that’s hard to resist. Keegan needs to
deliver five mail order brides to a mining town in New Mexico Territory. All Scratch and Bo have to do is get these gals to
the church on time—and alive, if possible…
The job seems easy enough—and the brides-to-be are even easier on the eyes. Cecilia, Beth, Luella, Rose, and Jean all
need good husbands. But their prospects look bad when the journey to the altar includes Mexican banditos, scheming silver
robbers, and one overbearing rancher who won’t take no for an answer. Bo and Scratch promised to keep the ladies safe—
and keep their hands to themselves—but it could be the last vow they’ll ever make…

BULLETS DON’T ARGUE
The Perley Gates Western Series
From bestselling authors William W. and J.A. Johnstone—the third blazing adventure
featuring Perley Gates, a new hero in the Old West who’s carving out his own legacy in the
violent American frontier. Perley Gates is as honest and good as his heavenly name. But
don’t make him mad. Because when Perley Gates gets mad, people get hurt.
Live Free. Read Hard.

Once every year, Perley Gates and his brothers lead the Triple-G crew on its annual cattle drive. It’s a treacherous journey
along the Great Western Trail, with a herd of two-thousand cows on one side and many opportunities for trouble on the
other. This year, trouble shows up in the form of a beautiful young woman, her little baby, and her bizarre traveling
companion—a colorful old cuss who goes by the name of Possom Smith. They’re heading to a settlement called Butcher
Bottom, and risking their necks to get there. Perley—being the gentleman he is—offers to escort the trio to their
destination. But there are a few minor details they “forgot” to tell Perley…
The woman is a widow whose husband had enemies. The old man is hiding a small fortune that might get them killed. And
Perley is stuck in the middle trying to decide who’s good, who’s bad—and who deserves to die first…

HOME INVASION
No one captures the heart of America like William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone.
Now, nearly ten years after its original release, Home Invasion remains just as timely
and relevant as ever, as the good citizens of a Texas town fight back with their right
to bear arms.
Johnstone Country. Home of the brave.

THEY WILL INVADE YOUR HOME.
Home, Texas. Two men break into the house of an elderly couple. Guns are fired. Blood is spilled. When one of the intruders
sues the victim—and wins—the good people of Home take the law into their own hands. Their battle, though, is just
beginning. In a stunning case of backward justice—the U.S. President decides to make the town a test case to strike down
the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution: Ban all guns in Home, Texas. And to enforce it, the newly formed national
police force is sent in.
THEY WILL TAKE YOUR WEAPONS.
Unarmed. Defenseless. Denied their civil right to bear arms, the citizens of Home are now easy targets for America’s closest
enemies—the Mexican drug cartels who spill across the border every day. This time, they’ve set their sights on a secret
military arsenal. But they need a base of operations. And there’s no place like Home.
Repackage Reissue BUT THEY WON’T DESTROY YOUR SPIRIT.
Police Chief Wade Bonner is one of the few in town permitted to carry a gun. But Bonner knows that his friends and
neighbors will never surrender their freedoms—or submit to an outside enemy, no matter how strong or ruthless. Soon
they will be put to the test. Because the war is coming home. And Home is fighting back.

cat and an aging mutt takes a liking to the vet and his little girl gets involved. With her on their side, and love in their hearts,
this Christmas just might be the most joyous of all…

THE MERRY VISCOUNT
The Widow’s Brew Series
Sally MacKenzie
Misfortune begets second chances in USA Today bestselling author Sally MacKenzie’s
Widow’s Brew Regency-set series, filled with her signature wit, warmth, and humor.
Scandal does not define the “fallen” ladies of Puddledon Manor’s Benevolent Home.
Instead, it’s a recipe for an intoxicating new future…this time with a bit of Christmas
cheer and a wild holiday house party!
With Christmas around the corner, Miss Caroline Anderson hoped to persuade a London tavern owner to carry the Home’s
Widow’s Brew—only to discover the dastard was more interested in her ankles than her ale! To her further annoyance, her
stagecoach back to Little Puddledon is waylaid by louts and a snow-covered ditch. Amid a nasty storm, Caro seeks shelter
at a nearby estate—only to be greeted by Viscount Oakland, a.k.a. Nick, her brother’s childhood friend—and her schoolgirl
crush. Now he’s the half-dressed host of what is clearly a holiday bacchanal. Still, his house is irresistibly warm…
Ever the free spirit, Nick has invited the wilder gentleman of the ton, and an assortment of London’s lightskirts, to celebrate
Christmas in a more traditional, pagan fashion. So he’s surprised to find Caro at his door. Now, with a blizzard raging, he must
take her in—despite his fear she won’t take to his guests, and worse, upend his party. But she may surprise him—and upend
Holiday his life…

AMISH COOKIE CLUB CHRISTMAS
The Amish Cookie Club Series
Sarah Price
In the second Amish Cookie Club novel by EPA bestselling author Sarah Price, baking
cookies every other Friday for their respective church districts gives Edna Esh and three of
her closest friends a chance to give to the Plain community and strengthen their bond with
each other. Now, with the blessings of Christmas in the air, they may even whip up a recipe
for love…
With the holidays around the corner, Edna is busier than ever juggling baking with her business serving meals to Englische
tourists. Thank goodness for Mary Ropp’s help—until she breaks her leg. Mary’s daughter, Bethany, is available to fill in,
but Edna isn’t so certain. She knows Bethany is so painfully shy that she’s never even courted, never mind interacting with
Englische tourists! But the remedy may be closer than they think…
When Bethany gets into a scrape with her bicycle, a personable, talkative young man comes to her rescue, and even
accompanies her home. And he’s none other than John Esh—Edna’s oldest son. When he stops by again the next day,
Mary gets an idea. Soon, with the encouragement of the Cookie Club, Bethany is indeed helping Edna, and spending more
time around the Esh household—and John. As Bethany slowly comes out of her shell, it seems she and John have much
Holiday in common—maybe enough to inspire a winter wedding—and the club’s sweetest creation yet…

LONDON’S LATE NIGHT SCANDAL
The Midnight Secrets Series
Anabelle Bryant
USA Today Bestselling author Anabelle Bryant continues her wickedly funny, sexy
and intriguing Regency series about the upper-class of London trading in secrets and
seduction. This latest installment finds a wounded lord in a battle of wills against a
scientifically minded bluestocking with a secret identity.
Chief Officer of the Society for the Intellectually Advanced, Lord Matthew Strathmore, Earl of Whittingham, takes his position
very seriously. Not only does it distract him from the painful aftermath of a gunshot wound to the leg, earned most honorably,
it is important work. So he feels duty-bound to question esteemed scientist Lord Talbot about a suspect article. Matthew
dashes from London to Oxfordshire, despite wretched weather that only exacerbates his injury, reminding him he is far from
the dashing gentleman he once was…
Theodosia, Lord Talbot’s granddaughter, has inherited his gift for inquiry, enjoying her pursuits safely away from the artifice
of London society. But her identity as the true author of Talbot’s article is about to be exposed. And if Matthew expects a dour
bluestocking, surprises abound. Not only do Theodosia’s botanical concoctions soothe his leg, he’s clearly attracted by her
delicate beauty. But dare she hope for more? It will take an urgent trip to London for both to discover how passion and lasting
Holiday love can ignite under the cover of darkness…

champion stepmother. Nell is eager to cement the bond with her daughters by making this holiday picture perfect. But

CHRISTMAS CAKE MURDER
The Hannah Swensen Mystery Series
Joanne Fluke
Queen of culinary capers, Joanne Fluke, cooks up the most delicious gift of all: a recipe
filled holiday mystery prequel to the beloved Hannah Swensen Mystery series! Readers
will devour this story, as it brings them back to when it all began, during Christmas season
many years ago, when a young Hannah was preparing to open The Cookie Jar and
investigating her first murder…
With her dream of opening The Cookie Jar taking shape, Hannah’s life matches the hectic December hustle and bustle
in Lake Eden—especially when she agrees to help recreate a spectacular Christmas Ball from the past in honor of Essie
Granger, an elderly local in hospice care. But instead of poring over decadent dessert recipes for the merry festivities, she
instantly becomes enthralled by Essie’s old notebooks and the tale of a woman escaping danger on the streets of New York.
Hannah’s surprised by Essie’s secret talent for penning crime fiction. She’s even more surprised when the story turns real.
As Hannah prepares to run a bakery and move out of her mother’s house, it’ll be a true miracle if she can prevent another
Yuletide disaster by solving a mystery as dense as a Christmas fruitcake…

and Jaine’s been reluctantly helping him edit it. So when Scotty is bludgeoned with a frozen chocolate Yule log and the
police start making a list of suspects and checking it twice, Jaine’s name is toward the top. True, she’s been under some
stress, with Lance setting her up on dates and her fickle feline taking a sudden liking to someone else—but she’s not guilty
of murder. Now she just has to prove it, by using her gift for detection and figuring out who committed this holiday homicide.

MARRY CHRISTMAS MURDER
The Wedding Planner Mystery Series
Stephanie Blackmoore
Wedding planner Mallory Shepherd returns for her fifth case of murder—this time planning
a Christmas themed wedding!
As professional wedding planner Mallory Shepard organizes a Christmas Eve gala for her best friend, Olivia, the obstacles
are starting to outnumber Santa’s reindeer…
Olivia’s dreaming of a white Christmas—as in a white wedding gown and all the trimmings. But that’s not the only
event that’s keeping everyone busy. Olivia’s family are in real estate development, and they’re sponsoring Paws and
Poinsettias—a benefit for the Port Quincy animal shelter. Meanwhile, Mallory’s mom wants to use her daughter’s
connection to snag a job staging homes for the company…and the current stager is not filled with holiday cheer at
the news that she might be replaced.
When the endangered employee downs some antifreeze-spiked punch at a party, Mallory has a murder to solve—among
other mysteries including a missing cat, a toy-drive heist, and a baby found in a manger thirty years earlier…

MURDER IN THE FIRST EDITION
The Bookstore Mystery Series
Lauren Elliott
As Addie Greyborne’s town gathers to plan their holiday Charity Auction, the rare
bookstore owner must track down the father of her late fiancé, whose arrival coincides
with the disappearance of an 1843 copy of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol as
well as the death of the auction organizer in the third volume of Lauren Elliott’s Bookstore
Mystery series.
Addie Greyborne is preparing for the holidays at her bookstore in seaside New England—but a winter storm is coming, in
more ways than one…
Addie’s getting into the spirit for the upcoming Charity Auction—especially since she’s got an 1843 copy of Charles
Dickens’ A Christmas Carol to donate. Her former colleagues at the Boston Public Library have confirmed that its worth runs
toward the high five figures, which should help with the new pediatric wing. Her mood darkens, though, when a visitor from
the past appears—Jonathan Hemingway, the father of her late fiancé. His presence stirs up sad memories for Addie, but
also has her fuming when Jonathan, true to his womanizing ways, runs off for a lunchtime liaison with Teresa Lang, who’s in
charge of the auction.
Holiday
Soon after, Addie heads to Teresa’s office at the hospital—and finds the poor woman’s dead body. What she doesn’t find
is her valuable first edition. What sort of Scrooge would steal from sick children and commit murder in the process? As
a Nor’easter bears down and a mystery emerges about Jonathan’s past, Addie must find out if she can appraise people’s

CHRISTMAS COW BELLS
The Buttermilk Creek Mystery Series
Mollie Cox Bryan
Christmas, cows and…murder?! After penning two successful and well-reviewed cozy
series, Mollie Cox Bryan launches a brand new series set on an organic dairy farm in the
Blue Ridge Mountains!
A cozy mystery that will keep you guessing until the cows come home…
Christmas is a time for new beginnings, so after her big breakup, Brynn MacAlister takes the gouda with the bad. With her
three Red Devon cows, she settles in bucolic Shenandoah Springs, eager for a new life as an organic micro-dairy farmer and
cheese-maker. Then her dear cow Petunia’s bellows set the whole town on edge. But it isn’t until Brynn’s neighbor, Nancy,
dies in a mysterious fire that her feelings about small town life begin to curdle…
It seems some folks were not happy with Nancy’s plan to renovate the Old Glebe Church. But is a fear of change a
motivation for murder? As a newcomer, Brynn can’t ignore the strange events happening just on the other side of her frosty
pasture—and soon on her very own farm. Suddenly Christmas doesn’t feel so festive as everyone demands she muzzle
sweet Petunia, and Brynn is wondering if someone wants to silence her—for good…

AMISH CHRISTMAS LETTERS
Patricia Davids; Sarah Price; Jennifer Beckstrand
Christmas is around the corner and it’s time for Amish families to include holiday
greetings in their circle letters, each writer adding to a growing collection as it travels
on to the next. In this delightful trio of stories by three popular Amish romance authors,
three cousins scattered across the country share their blessings—and reveal news
of romantic surprises…
To win a friendly annual competition, matchmaker Marybeth Martin must bring one more couple together by Christmas.
Her only prospect is a man more interested in a nanny than a wife—until his little girl shows him the light…
Struggling farmer’s daughter Katie Mae Kauffman discovers that she and a local widower and father of four can harvest
more crops—and profits—together than separately. But she’ll have to put pride aside to make room for unexpected love…
Corralling an unruly brood of seven is not babysitter Carolyn Yutzy’s first choice for celebrating the season—but the sparks
between her and their unsentimental yet irresistible uncle may be a gift neither was counting on…
Now, one by one, each resourceful young woman will have a holiday to remember—and to write home about…

In this highly anticipated sequel to Beautiful Nightmare, it’s the girls’ turn to show the men
how the killing is really supposed to be done.
Sena and Moochie are back, and their love is put to the test time and time again, but Sena is willing to bust down the
gates of hell to make sure they stay together. Sena is determined to take down anyone or anything that tries to step in
the way of her family’s happiness.
Moochie’s whole world is flipped upside down, and his emotions are swept up in a whirlwind. He is forced to bring out the
beast inside, but he believes that with Sena at his side, there is nothing anyone can do to stop them.
Shay‑D is back as Sena’s sidekick, and she is willing to do anything to keep up with Sena. Everyone knows that Sena is off
her rocker, and Shay soon learns that she might not be able to keep up. She tries her best to replace Sena’s deceased best
friend, Valencia, but how will she ever be able to fill those shoes?
In this love story gone awry, vengeance is “hell in heels,” and there is nothing these two women won’t do to protect their
families and prove their love.
