After losing her child, Ginger Dysart was lost in grief. But since moving to Thunder Point, a small town on the Oregon coast, Ginger is finally moving forward. Her job at the flower shop is peaceful and fulfilling, and she’s excited to be assisting with the Lacoumette wedding.

In spite of her heartache, Ginger is swept up in the pleasure of the occasion. But the beauty of the Lacoumette farm and the joy of the gregarious family are ruined by an unfortunate encounter with the bride’s brother, Matt. Struggling with painful memories of his own, Matt makes a drunken spectacle of himself when he tries to make a pass at Ginger.

But when Matt shows up at the flower shop determined to make amends, what started out as a humiliating first meeting blossoms into something much deeper than either of them expected. Everyone around them worries that Ginger will end up with a broken heart again. But if Ginger has the courage to embrace the future, and if Matt can finally learn to let go of the past, there may still be hope for a happy ending.

FOUR FRIENDS (reissue in Mass Market Paperback)
Robyn Carr

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr comes the story of four friends determined to find their stride. Ultimately, they’ll discover what it means to be a wife, mother, lover, friend...and most important: your true self.

Gerri can’t decide what’s more devastating: learning her rock-solid marriage has big cracks, or the anger she feels as she tries to repair them. Always the anchor for friends and her three angst-ridden teenagers, it’s time to look carefully at herself. The journey is more than revealing—it’s transforming.

Andy doesn’t have a great track record with men, and she’s come to believe that a lasting love is out of reach. When she finds herself attracted to her down-to-earth contractor—a man without any of the qualities that usually appeal to her—she questions everything she thought she wanted in life.

Sonja’s lifelong pursuit of balance is shattered when her husband declares he’s through with her New Age nonsense and walks out. There’s no herbal tonic or cleansing ritual that can restore her serenity—or her sanity.

Miraculously, it’s BJ, the reserved newcomer to Mill Valley, who steps into their circle and changes everything. The woman with dark secrets opens up to her neighbors, and together they get each other back on track, stronger as individuals and unfaltering as friends.

Laura Benedict

Available June 15, 2015, but can be pre-ordered now!

Death never did come quietly for Bliss House . . . and now a mother and daughter have become entwined in the secrets hidden within its walls.

Amidst the lush farmland and orchards in Old Gate, Virginia, stands the magnificent Bliss House. Built in 1878 as a country retreat, Bliss House is impressive, historic, and inexplicably mysterious. Decades of strange occurrences, disappearances and deaths have plagued the house, yet it remains vibrant. And very much alive.

Rainey Bliss Adams desperately needed a new start when she and her daughter Ariel relocated from St. Louis to Old Gate and settled into the house where the Bliss family had lived for over a century. Rainey’s husband had been killed in a freak explosion that left her 14 year-old daughter Ariel scarred and disfigured.

At the grand housewarming party, Bliss House begins to reveal itself again. Ariel sees haunting visions: the ghost of her father, and the ghost of a woman being pushed to her death off of an upper floor balcony, beneath an exquisite dome of painted stars. And then there is a death the night of the party. Who is the murderer in the midst of this small town? And who killed the woman in Ariel’s visions? But Bliss House is loath to reveal its secrets, as are the good folks of Old Gate.

ESSENCE OF LOVE (reissue in eBook format)
Candice Poarch

Cleopatra Sharp is a strictly honest businesswoman, but she’s been the subject of a fraud investigation in the past. Getting back on her feet was no easy job, but making a success of her aromatherapy business taught her a valuable lesson about second chances. Giving the benefit of the doubt to people in her former situation, however, could prove her undoing when her business suffers one catastrophe after another and the previous monster raises its head, and she is again under the light of suspicion.

For help, Cleopatra turns to Taylor Bradford, a man who believes the root of all evil comes from her, yet he can’t deny the protective feelings he has for the woman she presents. Is she real or is this another scam? Taylor has no choice but to go with his instincts and find the truth.

Rail yard detective Hook Runyon has been reduced to rounding up copper thieves at the salvage yard when he’s called to investigate a body found on the tracks. The dead man, a sergeant stationed in the remote but critical Johnson Canyon Rail Tunnel, was killed by an onrushing train. Wanting a quick resolution to avoid the chaos of a total railway shutdown, the government sends Lieutenant Allison Capron to help Hook with the case.

In spite of the sergeant’s complicated personal life, Hook doesn’t believe his death was a suicide or an accident. The truth is even more incredible. But uncovering a twisted track of lies and explosive scientific secrets could send the one-armed yard dog and Lieutenant Capron straight into death’s path. Unless Hook can shed light on a killer at the end of the tunnel.
