Here are a few of the new books that have arrived at the library recently. We invite you to check them out!

The Story of the Grenville King

Conor O’Shea has had enough of driving and guiding tours of Ireland. So when an opportunity to renovate and run the magnificent but rundown Castle Dysert as a five-star resort presents itself, he grabs it with both hands. But problems arise almost immediately when his business partner appears to have more on her agenda than just business. To add to that, his wife seems discontented as a stay at home mom. With his family’s future now entangled in a beautiful old castle, Conor undertakes a mammoth project, and in so doing, he uncovers the troubled past of this ancient stronghold. 

Swim Home to the Vanished

When the river swallowed Kai, Damien’s little brother didn’t die so much as vanish. Driving as far south as his old truck and his legs allow, he lands in a fishing village beyond the reach of his past where he hopes he can finally forget. But the village has grief of its own. A young woman from the community’s most powerful family is being laid to rest. Damien is ignored by all except the dead girl’s mother, Ana Maria, who offers Damien a room and a job. Swiftly, Damien finds himself caught in a whirlwind battle that threatens to sweep the whole village out to sea.

The Breakaway

Abby Stern has made it to a happy place. True, she still has gig jobs instead of a career, and the apartment where she’s lived since college looks like she’s just moved in. But she’s at peace with her plus-size body and she’s on track to marry Mark Medoff, a man she met at the weight-loss camp that her perpetually dieting mother forced her to attend. Fifteen years after her final summer at Camp Golden Hills, when Abby reconnects with a half-his-size Mark, it feels like the happy ending she’s always wanted. Yet Abby can’t escape the feeling that some­thing isn’t right…or the memories of one thrilling night she spent with a man named Sebastian two years previously.
