Death Knells and Wedding Bells

Lucy and Connor planned for the perfect Outer Banks wedding—and that’s exactly what they got. But before Lucy can look forward to the rest of her life and the work she does at the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library, she gets a phone call from her boss, Bertie. Eddie, Bertie’s friend, never made it back home after the reception. This quickly turns to something darker when she discovers the body of a wedding guest strangled, and the police start asking questions about Eddie. Lucy must figure out if the two are connected before it’s too late—for Bertie’s friend and the rest of her wedding guests.

A Little Ray of Sunshine

Harlow Smith thought she had finally achieved the quiet life she wanted—a little bookstore on Cape Cod, an apartment in her grandpa’s house, a happily single life—when the biggest secret from her past walked into town. A kid walks into your bookstore and says to you, Guess what? I’m your son. The one you put up for adoption seventeen years ago. The one you never told anyone about. Surprise! How did she keep this secret for so long? More than the truth of that baby will come out over the summer ahead, a summer filled with emotion as more than one secret is revealed, long-lost hurts are discovered…and one slightly lost soul realizes the best of everything is yet to come.

Cross Down

For the first time, John Sampson is on his own. The brilliant crime-solving duo of Washington, DC’s, Metro PD and the FBI has a proven MO: Detective Alex Cross makes his own rules. Detective John Sampson enforces them. When military-style attacks erupt, brutally sidelining Cross, Sampson is sent reeling. The patterns are too random—Sampson’s friend, his partner, his brother—have told him. Don’t trust anyone. As a shadow force advances on the nation’s capital, Sampson alone must protect the Cross family, his own young daughter, and every American, including the president.
