Book Description
Heart-racing suspense, whodunit mysteries and romance under extraordinary circumstances. Protecting The Newborn - Delores Fossen Undercover cop Ruston McCullough doesn’t know who to trust after he and his former partner, Gracelyn Wallace, were almost killed on their last assignment. Back then, they found comfort in each other’s arms, but then Gracelyn vanished. Now Ruston has found her hiding out with her infant niece and, again, they’re under fire, possibly betrayed by a fellow cop. Unable to trust his own department, Ruston hides Gracelyn and the child at his family’s ranch. But the desire still smouldering between them could be a lethal distraction. A Colby Christmas Rescue - Debra Webb Special agent Jamie Colby is on a can’t-fail mission. Kidnappers need her unique skills and have leveraged her family to get them. Her partner, Kendrick Poe, is a bonus for the abductors. But with ransom and reunion complicating the assignment, Jamie and Kendrick will have to break every professional rule to rescue loved ones caught in the cross fire. An unexpected dangerous attraction is the least of their troubles but could prove to be deadly if they’re not careful. Colton’s K-9 Rescue - Colleen Thompson To search-and-rescuer Malcolm Colton, hunting the fugitive who terrorised his family is worth any risk on a stormy mountainside. But when his trusty K-9 follows a scent, he’s stunned to encounter Giselle Dowling, the celebrity ghostwriter with whom he shares a past tragedy and personal trauma. It’s a bittersweet reunion as the estranged pair decide to work together to stop the killer. As their search brings them closer to the cult leader who threatens the Colton family, Giselle and Malcolm find themselves falling for each other. Can Malcolm’s K-9 help them bring down the killer and lead them to a future filled with promise?

As their mutual mistrust yields to an overwhelming attraction, Jeremy’s investigation reveals that Russell isn’t the brother he remembers. And his past misdeeds have put Jeremy and Holly in danger.

Rules for Werewolves
Author: Kirk Lynn

Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
In the tradition of Colson Whitehead’s Zone One, a visionary debut novel about shelter, escape, family, violence, and dumpster-diving It’s the story of a restless group of young squatters. They’ve run away from their families and their pasts, questing after knowledge of their most wild selves, roaming the half-empty suburbs of America, occupying the homes of the foreclosed or vacationing, never staying in one place long enough to attract attention, while shoplifting beer at the local Speedy Stop. They’re building a new society with new laws, and no one will stand in their way. But utopias are hard work, and as Rules for Werewolves unfolds, these young revolutionaries discover that it’s much easier to break laws than to enforce them. Narrated in the shifting perspectives of the pack, Rules for Werewolves follows a community of drifters on the move, who seek a life in a wilderness that, by definition, has no room for them, and a freedom for which they may not be entirely prepared. Kirk Lynn’s debut novel is a hilarious and deeply moving story of people trying—and failing—to create a new life. At once a fractured fairy tale and a haunting vision of American disaffection, Rules for Werewolves marks the arrival of a fierce new talent.

A mother and daughter with a shared talent for healing—and for the conjuring of curses—are at the heart of this dazzling first novel WINNER OF THE SOCIETY OF AMERICAN HISTORIANS PRIZE • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times • NPR • Parade • Book Riot • PopMatters “Lush, irresistible . . . It took me into the hearts of women I could otherwise never know. I was transported.”—Amy Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of White Houses and Away Conjure Women is a sweeping story that brings the world of the South before and after the Civil War vividly to life. Spanning eras and generations, it tells of the lives of three unforgettable women: Miss May Belle, a wise healing woman; her precocious and observant daughter Rue, who is reluctant to follow in her mother’s footsteps as a midwife; and their master’s daughter Varina. The secrets and bonds among these women and their community come to a head at the beginning of a war and at the birth of an accursed child, who sets the townspeople alight with fear and a spreading superstition that threatens their newly won, tenuous freedom. Magnificently written, brilliantly researched, richly imagined, Conjure Women moves back and forth in time to tell the haunting story of Rue, Varina, and May Belle, their passions and friendships, and the lengths they will go to save themselves and those they love. LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE “[A] haunting, promising debut . . . Through complex characters and bewitching prose, Atakora offers a stirring portrait of the power conferred between the enslaved women.
