"What a fantastic book! I absolutely adored Megan & Scott and thought that their love story played in perfectly with the mystery and intrigue in this book. It was refreshing to see Megan, who has zero investigative skills, put her life on hold and join a jockey school to try and find out what happened to her missing brother." - Steph at Goodreads

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale and The Great Alone comes an incandescent story about the resilience of the human spirit, the triumph of hope, and the meaning of home.
 
In the rugged Pacific Northwest lies the Olympic National Forest—nearly a million acres of impenetrable darkness and impossible beauty. From deep within this old growth forest, a six-year-old girl appears. Speechless and alone, she offers no clue as to her identity, no hint of her past.
 
Having retreated to her western Washington hometown after a scandal left her career in ruins, child psychiatrist Dr. Julia Cates is determined to free the extraordinary little girl she calls Alice from a prison of unimaginable fear and isolation. To reach her, Julia must discover the truth about Alice’s past—although doing so requires help from Julia’s estranged sister, a local police officer. The shocking facts of Alice’s life test the limits of Julia’s faith and strength, even as she struggles to make a home for Alice—and for herself.
 
“One of [Kristin Hannah’s] most compelling and riveting novels.”—Booklist

I just needed a fresh start.

A new place to raise my little one as I worked to pull my life back together.

It’s never been an easy life, raising my kiddo alone, but I find strength in the little things.

The kind woman that I work for has been like a second mother.

And I had no clue how hot her marine son was until he comes home for a visit.

The guy is 100% alpha male. Everything I find attractive and usually fall hard for.

He’s got a decision to make. Leave the service or reenlist? Time is ticking down.

But the longer he stays, the more I want him to stay.

Where love didn’t seem like a possibility before, I feel like I’ve found a reason to breathe.

Him.

My life couldn’t get any more ridiculous.

A few days ago, my son’s teacher wanted to berate me on my parenting style.

I politely told her to f*ck off, in so many words.

And now? She’s sitting across the table from me at my first blind date in years.

You can’t make this shit up.

Nothing has been easy since my wife left me and Hunter years ago. And yet, we persevered.

He’s my whole world, and the last thing I have time for is a woman.

But this beautiful teacher disagrees. She wants to help me find the right girl for me and my boy. My best friend agrees. It’s time.

To shut everyone up, I go along with it. How bad can this get?

Don’t ask.

The right woman has been under my nose the whole time. And without realizing it, I’ve fallen deeply in love with her.

I can only hope she’ll stop her silly search and accept my offer.

Be mine.

Forever.

A man's quest to find answers for those who are haunted by the past leads him deeper into the shadows in this electrifying New York Times bestseller from the author of Promise Not to Tell.

Quinton Zane is back.

Jack Lancaster, consultant to the FBI, has always been drawn to the coldest of cold cases, the kind that law enforcement either considers unsolvable or else has chalked up to accidents or suicides. As a survivor of a fire, he finds himself uniquely compelled by arson cases. His almost preternatural ability to get inside the killer's head has garnered him a reputation in some circles--and complicated his personal life. The more cases Jack solves, the closer he slips into the darkness. His only solace is Winter Meadows, a meditation therapist. After particularly grisly cases, Winter can lead Jack back to peace.

But as long as Quinton Zane is alive, Jack will not be at peace for long. Having solidified his position as the power behind the throne of his biological family's hedge fund, Zane sets out to get rid of Anson Salinas's foster sons, starting with Jack.

Crack CIA analyst Trista Gold is a whiz with the computer, but not so much with people. She hides behind her job, analyzing Top Secret code and making recommendations on national security. She doesn’t need a man in her life. But she will, very soon...

CIA K-9 officer Sgt. Matt Connors suspects that beneath Trista’s uptight appearance, there’s a sexy woman itching to cut loose. But he doesn’t dare act on his attraction. He’s a loner and always will be. Keeping away from Trista is a must-do directive. Until he doesn’t have a choice...

During a routine assignment, Trista stumbles across a cryptic exchange. She doesn’t think much of it...until someone tries to murder her—twice. Both times, Matt had been there to save her. But now she has to hide. And her new bodyguard, Matt, and his K-9 are the only hope she has against the powerful forces that want her dead.

To protect her, he must remain a ghost…

Jack McCann has been in love with Shelly since they were teens. They married just out of college and right before he went to work as an undercover agent for the FBI. When he can, he slips away from his assignments to see her.

Jack has been undercover on his latest case for months, investigating a weapons-smuggling business. But just as the FBI is set to make the bust, Jack’s cover is blown. The last thing he feels as he crashes through a warehouse window and into the open water is a bullet piercing his back. The last thing he hears is Adam Wu promising to destroy everyone Jack loves.

Shelley’s worst nightmares come true when the FBI arrive at her doorstep to bring her the news. But she doesn’t know the truth: Jack survived the shooting and will do anything to keep his beloved wife safe—even if it means hiding in shadows…

When an ex-Marine struggles to feel whole as a wounded warrior, one man will be her salvation. But first, she’ll have to save his life.

Sergeant Emerson’s medical discharge from military service scares her witless. Especially when as a fresh amputee she’s designated as a bodyguard to a quirky genius. But after she’s placed in civilian housing with a handsome man who sees past her pride, her soldier’s heart softens.

Tika never expected to be attracted to the fiercely proud ex-Marine sharing his quarters. Sensing that her emotional pain goes far beyond her traumatic injury, he’s drawn to help her heal and find love. But deep down, he knows a future together is doomed: he wants a family and Emerson has made it obvious she doesn’t feel the same.

When a dramatic assassination attempt throws Tika into the line of fire, raw emotions pull the couple closer. Can the pair move past their stalemate to create a future together, or will the war vet’s painful past destroy love's future?

Loving the Sergeant is a standalone novel in the D.E.V.I.N. series of moving romantic military suspense novels. If you like conflicted characters, heart-wrenching chemistry, and high-stakes drama, then you'll love Katina Gavin's powerful novel.

A date auction gone wrong. Or so very right.

Holly
The whole mess started with a fundraiser. You know, those date auctions?
It was for a good cause. I swear. But then Nate Fox won the date with me.
Nate who drives me insane.

He’s my brother’s best friend, and oh-so-inconveniently handsome as h*ll. He also spent some serious cash for that date. With me.

It’s a disaster in the making, and I’ll do whatever I must to avoid it. Small problem though. Nate’s insisting I make good on it. A date with him is bad enough. Even worse, I want him. Fiercely.

Nate
The moment I look up and see Holly Blake walk out on that stage, I’m determined to make my longest running fantasy come true.

I’ll have my second chance with Holly. Even if I have to pay for it. She’s smart, sassy, and so d*mn gorgeous.

Then, I find out she has a secret. A secret that only makes me want her even more.


*This is a full-length, standalone romance with a guaranteed HEA.

Strictly off limits or destined mates?
Rae has a secret — one she can’t allow any wolf pack to discover. But with an old enemy hot on her heels, she has no option but to trust Zack, the man from the wrong side of the tracks. Taking off on the back of Zack's Harley seems like good idea at first, but when she lowers her defenses for the captivating coyote shifter, she might just be risking it all.

The new she-wolf in town may be strictly off-limits, but Zack just can’t keep away. When the thrill of the chase gets his blood pumping in more ways than one, he’s ready to overstep every boundary and break every rule. Destiny says she’s his—but the pack’s ruling alpha says she belongs to another.

There’s more than meets the eye on Twin Moon Ranch, home to a pack of shapeshifting wolves willing to battle for life and love. Each book is a complete standalone story — no cliffhangers!

* A paranormal romance with adult content. The perfect read for fans of strong heroines, alpha heroes, werewolves and shapeshifters, bad-boy bikers, red-hot cowboys, romantic westerns, paranormal suspense, action-adventure romance, and fantasy romance! *

Meg Sanders enjoyed her wild night with a prince and his bodyguard—but now she’s moving on. She has enough problems without borrowing the kind of trouble Theo brings just by being who he is. But no matter how determined she is to leave that night a fond memory, she hasn’t seen the last of Theo and Galen…

Galen Mikos's life boils down to one goal. Keep Theo alive. But as long as Theo draws breath, he’s a threat to the powers that have taken over Thalania—and anyone they associate with runs the risk of becoming a target, too. Galen will never forgive himself if they let their selfish desire for Meg puts her in danger. But it might already be too late…

Theo Fitzcharles might be an exiled prince, but he doesn’t intend to stay that way. He’s only concerned with one thing—clearing his mother’s name and reinstating himself as Crown Prince of Thalania. There’s no room in that plan for distraction, especially when it makes him forget himself the way Meg does. But after spending one perfect night with her and his best friend, Theo has no intention of leaving her alone.

Even if it damns all three of them in the process.

A life of darkness only pays while the sun stays hidden.

The shadows of the past follow me no matter where I turn. Mistakes I thought were long dead and gone seem to nip at my heels and tear at my soul.

I’m not a good man. Not worthy of redemption.

As President of the Lost Breed MC, I fight, take what’s mine.

But everything changed in the blink of an eye, and now I got a kid, my brother’s kid. The teenage bastard is just like me.

And he’s gone missing.

My only hope is that the pretty cop down at the station is willing to help a criminal like me out.

My focus should be on the kid, but I can’t stop thinking about owning her, marking her, making her mine. She thinks she’s going to be able to resist me forever. She’s wrong.

I’m driven mad with the desire to gain her affection, to be the one that wakes her up in the dead of night to take advantage of her softness and remind her who’s King.

But what cost would the reaper require to give me such bliss?

And am I willing to pay it?

You bet I am.

Ryder is a 55,000 word standalone novel in The Lost Breed MC series. No cheating, lying, but maybe a bit of stealing. It's an MC - come on! Hope you enjoy the opening novel in my new stand alone series.

This first book in Evelena Evans' Friends in Low Places trilogy explores choices and sacrifices made in the name of friendship and love. It earned a 5-Star review from Readers' Favorite. "Friends in Low Places by Evelena Evans is one of the best romantic thrillers I have read. The main protagonist, Jacy, was exceptionally well developed. This is a fantastically written story, full of intrigue and suspense, romance, laughter and a few tears too. Excellent, and I'm really looking forward to book 2."

When Jacy Adams resigns from her position at a fast-paced public accounting firm in search of a more balanced life, her dream job at a charter airline leads her into a dangerous world where survival becomes her primary objective. She discovers connections to organized crime and homicidal drug traffickers, all the while battling demons from her own tragic past. With the help of an undercover FBI agent who’s not afraid to bend the rules and a few of his friends, she endeavors to expose corruption at the airline in a dramatic tale of love, betrayal, murder and forgiveness.

Seattle meant safety. A new start for me and my little girl.
I didn't anticipate falling for a new guy.
Especially not my boss.

It was the dream job - in a city miles from my jerk of an ex.
I just wanted to get on and work, make a fresh start.

But Alex is the kind of guy you can feel in a room.
Perfect body, dark tousled hair just begging for my fingers to entwine in the curls.
Sultry blue eyes that send electric shocks to my core.

Nah-ah. We're not going there, girl.
I've got baggage - the perfect kid... and her abusive dad.
I don't need the complications of an office romance.

But... what if this man is my future?
When things get tough he picks me up.

When the calls start, and danger stalks me, will his love keep me going?

Why the hell did it have to be her?

The bartender at Four Horseman was a walking wet dream and now she's my damn job.

I thought it would be simple. Get intel from the witness. Ignore her sass and sexuality.

I was wrong. She's more than I bargained for.

I may risk everything to save her from her fate.

My life, my future….my club.
 

Busta… My jailer.

I thought he was good-looking at the bar.

No more.

The man is arrogant, ruthless: a complete prick.

I need a way out of this and through him is the best.

I need to find a chink in his armor.

I'll do what it takes to gain my freedom.

Anything to get free. 

Except giving him the intel he wants.

Her future is already set, all she has to do is marry a complete stranger.

Will she marry the man her family chooses or will she decide her own future?

This book ends on a cliffhanger.
