The Unburied Dead: Book 1 – The King’s Roadby Christopher Clarkson

At their excavations high in the Taurus Mountains, archaeologists James and Arla are poised to discover the secret of what caused the Late Bronze Age Collapse and the destruction of the Hittite Empire in 1200 BC. Little do they know that in so doing they have placed themselves and their team in mortal danger. Their search for answers uncovers a hidden past, a sinister secret society and an ancient evil they cannot run from.
Two Hittite children, Ani and Purdu, leave their farm to watch a parade of returning soldiers in their local town, only to find it overrun by a horror beyond their worst nightmares. Returning home, they find their farm destroyed. Their flight to safety leads them to an unlikely friend and guardian, and on a terrifying journey north to the great capital of Hattusha.
Michael, a pharmacist in a Central Washington hospital, is the only survivor of a bizarre and brutal attack by a sick patient that leaves several doctors dead. Fleeing the scene in terror, he soon finds himself accused of the murders. Desperate to prove his innocence, Michael turns to his friend and IT guru, Nathan, for help. Michael and Nathan uncover much more than they bargained for – a deadly disease sweeping through the city, and a secretive group determined to silence them and any that stand in their way.

What the top Hittitologists are saying:

“Clarkson’s style reminded me of Dan Brown. I do admire how he brings the Late Bronze Age world to life, how he portrayed it and it is clear that he knows about archaeology and ancient history. It is very well done.”
– Professor Theo van den Hout, Arthur and Joann Rasmussen Professor of Hittite and Anatolian Languages, The University of Chicago, author of The Elements of Hittite, 2011, Cambridge University Press, and many other scholarly works on the Hittites

“Clarkson has researched his Hittite material well. There is an authentic ring about his description of Hittite people, their cities, and their customs. Clarkson’s novel is a good read!”
– Professor Emeritus Trevor Bryce, The University of Queensland, author of Life and Society in the Hittite World (2002, Oxford University Press) and Kingdom of the Hittites (1999,Oxford University Press)

The Animals at Lockwood Manorby Jane Healey

A debut novel for fans of Sarah Perry and Kate Morton: when a young woman is tasked with safeguarding a natural history collection as it is spirited out of London during World War II, she discovers her new manor home is a place of secrets and terror instead of protection.

In August 1939, thirty-year-old Hetty Cartwright arrives at Lockwood Manor to oversee a natural history museum collection, whose contents have been taken out of London for safekeeping. She is unprepared for the scale of protecting her charges from party guests, wild animals, the elements, the tyrannical Major Lockwood and Luftwaffe bombs. Most of all, she is unprepared for the beautiful and haunted Lucy Lockwood.

For Lucy, who has spent much of her life cloistered at Lockwood suffering from bad nerves, the arrival of the museum brings with it new freedoms. But it also resurfaces memories of her late mother, and nightmares in which Lucy roams Lockwood hunting for something she has lost.

When the animals appear to move of their own accord, and exhibits go missing, they begin to wonder what exactly it is that they might need protection from. And as the disasters mount up, it is not only Hetty’s future employment that is in danger, but her own sanity too. There’s something, or someone, in the house. Someone stalking her through its darkened corridors . . .

Made of Stars (Entangled Teen)by Kelley York

Made of Stars by Kelley York

When eighteen-year-old Hunter Jackson and his half sister, Ashlin, return to their dad's for the first winter in years, they expect everything to be just like the warmer months they'd spent there as kids. And it is–at first. But Chance, the charismatic and adventurous boy who made their summers epic, is harboring deep secrets. Secrets that are quickly spiraling into something else entirely.

The reason they've never met Chance's parents or seen his home is becoming clearer. And what the siblings used to think of as Chance's quirks–the outrageous stories, his clinginess, his dangerous impulsiveness–are now warning signs that something is seriously off.
Then someone turns up with a bullet to the head, and all eyes shift to Chance's family. Hunter and Ashlin know Chance is innocent…they just have to prove it. But how can they protect the boy they both love when they can't trust a word Chance says?

Outta My Leagueby Ali Parker & Weston Parker

This woman has been driving me crazy for far too long.

The way she looks, smells, laughs is killing me.

I fell in love with my sister’s best friend.

To top it all off, she’s brilliant. And I’m failing Chemistry.

Of course, when I get her help, she’s laidback about it.

Charming and helpful as always, like she doesn’t know how much I want her.

I’ve got to play it cool and let her see a different side of me.

Melt the ice-man I’ve been just to keep myself in check.

She’s the woman I want in my life forever.

Now to convince her of it…

Marry Me For Moneyby Ali Parker

I need a wife. Now.

It doesn’t have to do with love and living the good life. This is all about getting the money my billionaire father left to me.
And I’m running out of time.

But who proposes to a stranger after the first date?

Me. That’s who. As if I have another choice.

Luck is on my side though, and a beautiful model shows up in my office.

Single? Gorgeous? Funny? All of the above.

Our first date goes so well that I feel unsure about my decision to do this thing with her–you know, fake it. I put it off and decide to do it later, to ask for her help after we get to know each other better.

But I like her more and more each time we meet, and eventually, offering her a ring isn’t for my dad’s money–it’s because I want her more than anything else in the world.

Besides, who’s going to know if it’s fake or real? And does it really matter?

Yeah. It does.

To her…

This is book 1 of a trilogy. There is a cliffhanger at the end. You will have to buy book 2 and 3 to finish the story.

The Progenyby Tosca Lee

“The Progeny has risen to the top of my favorites list…I devoured every word of it. ” –Book Reporter

When you wake up, you remember nothing. Not your name, or where you were born, or the faces of the people you knew. Just a single warning written to yourself before you forgot it all:

“Emily, it’s me. You.

Don’t ask about the last two years… Don’t try to remember and don’t go digging. Your life depends on it. Other lives depend on it.

By the way, Emily isn’t your real name. You died in an accident. You paid extra for that.”

You start over in a remote place with a new name, a fresh life. Until the day a stranger tells you you’re being hunted for the sins of a royal ancestor who died centuries before you were born.

You don’t believe him, until they come for you. Now you’re on the run.

Every answer you need lies in a past you chose to erase. The only thing you know for sure is that others are about to die and you need those memories back.

But first, you have to stay alive.
