Deadly Storms

Shabina Foster does her best to lead a normal life. She takes comfort in her friends and her dogs and finds passion in running her small-town café in the eastern Sierras. But she can’t help always looking over her shoulder, not after what happened in her past. Shabina already feels like she’s ruined his life and is determined to keep her distance, even as the ghosts of her past emerge from the shadows. Security expert Rainier Ashcroft knows firsthand that a storm is brewing and that Shabina is in real trouble. Threats are approaching on all sides and there’s no telling when the next hit will strike. But convincing the woman he loves to truly let him in will be just as difficult as keeping her alive.

The Girl With Ice in Her Veins

Sweden’s far north is growing colder and the town of Gasskas is buried under a relentless snow. As temperatures drop, tensions rise between a global corporation shamelessly exploiting the area’s natural resources and wary locals with scores to settle. A bomb blasts apart a crucial bridge. Soon after, a young journalist is found murdered. Meanwhile, Lisbeth is at home in Stockholm. When she discovers that fellow hacker Plague has been kidnapped and taken up North, and finds her niece, Svala, on her doorstep, she has no choice but to return to Gasskas—with Mikael Blomkvist at her side. But then Svala goes missing, and Lisbeth’s worst fears come to haunt her… Lured back to a lawless town full of predators, forced to face down their own troubling pasts and those of their loved ones, Salander and Blomkvist must untangle a history of violence before it’s too late.

Amity

New Orleans, 1866. Formerly enslaved Coleman and June have yet to find the freedom they’ve been promised. Two years ago, the siblings were separated when their old master, Mr. Harper, took June away to Mexico, where he hoped to escape the new reality of the post-war South. Coleman stayed behind to serve the Harper family, clinging to the hope that one day June would return. When an unexpected letter from Mr. Harper arrives, summoning Coleman to Mexico, Coleman thinks that finally his prayers have been answered. When disaster strikes Coleman’s journey, he is forced on the run with Mr. Harper’s daughter, Florence. Together, they venture into the Mexican desert to find June, all the while evading two crooked brothers who’ll stop at nothing to capture Coleman and Florence and collect the money they’re owed.
