The Survivor

When archeologist Riley Smith asks Eve Duncan for help, Eve is intrigued by the prospect of an isolated island that holds a secret locked in time. Riley is aware of the threat from treasure hunters who are already searching and have no qualms about killing to get what they want. When she successfully evades them and finds the perfectly preserved body of a female warrior, it is just what she needs to entice Eve to help unlock the mystery. As these two women seek answers about this extraordinary past life, Riley makes a discovery that will change history.

The Paris Daughter

Paris, 1939: Young mothers Elise and Juliette become fast friends the day they meet in the beautiful Bois de Boulogne. When Elise becomes a target of the German occupation, she entrusts Juliette with the most precious thing in her life—her young daughter. But nowhere is safe in war, not even a quiet little bookshop like Juliette’s Librairie des Rêves, and, when a bomb falls on the neighborhood, Juliette’s world is destroyed. Later, with the war finally ending, Elise returns to reunite with her daughter, only to find her friend’s bookstore reduced to rubble—and Juliette nowhere to be found.

Near Miss

When long-standing grudges resurface, Stone is brought back into the orbit of some familiar enemies. He must use all of his tricks—as well as those of a few old friends—to evade trouble before it’s too late. But this time, danger just might catch up with him.
