Words Get In the Way by Nan Rossiter

From the author of The Gin & Chowder Club comes an exquisitely heartfelt and uplifting novel that explores the infinite reach of a mother’s love–and the gift of second chances. . .

The modest ranch house where Callie Wyeth grew up looks just as she remembers it–right down to the well-worn sheets in the linen closet. But in the years since Callie lived here, almost everything else has changed. Her father, once indomitable, is in poor health. And Callie is a single mother with a beautiful little boy, Henry, who has just been diagnosed with autism.

Returning to this quiet New Hampshire community seems the best thing to do, for both her father and her son’s sake. Even if it means facing Linden Finch, the one she loved and left for reasons she’s sure he’ll never forgive. Linden is stunned that Callie is back–and that she has a son. Yet in the warm, funny relationship that develops between Henry and Linden’s menagerie of rescued farm animals, Callie begins to find hope. Not just that her son might break through the wall of silence separating him from the world, but that she too can make a new start amid the places and people that have never left her heart. . .

Jack and the Giants by J.R. Rain

When Jack discovers he’s been fired from his job in the real world, his simple life crumbles around him. That is, until he comes across the magic beans…

Now with a giant beanstalk growing outside his downtown New York apartment, Jack has a choice to make: follow the beanstalk up or pretend it’s not there. After all, he does seem to be the only one who can see it.

Putting aside his fears, Jack steps out from his apartment window and onto the beanstalk…and climbs up and up and up…finally emerging through the clouds and into a land of dreams.

Immediately, he’s confronted by a hungry giant…and someone else. Someone he never expected. Someone he had long admired from afar.

Now a team, Jack and Harriet seek answers to their dilemma, and find themselves in the middle of an age-old war for control of the land beyond the clouds.

Battling evil kings, gods and giants, Jack is about to discover that he’s much more than he ever imagined—and that he may never return home again. And that’s just fine by him.

After all, the land beyond the clouds isn’t that bad.

Of course, he just has to survive first…

The Vain Societyby Sheila Murdock

They’re the ultimate, influential example for all of those who strive for that dream lifestyle. They hide in plain sight, yet no one knows who they are. They have the power to make problems go away, and the wealth to keep them away. They’re the Vain Society, where the men’s vainness is their wealth, and the women’s vainness is—unsurprisingly—their beauty.

But what happens when the unexpected happens to one of their members?

Vanessa Gardner has never been so intrigued by anything more than she is by the Vain Society—VS for short—and she is determined to find out all she can about the VS and this member, so she launches an official investigation and talks all about it on her one-woman social media show, but does not realize just how much she’s actually risking her own safety by doing this and gets way in too deep in a way she never expects which results in a whirlwind of issues and incidents, but she stays relentless and undeterred in her quest . . . into a society some are denying even exists.

The Vain Society is a part of The Secret Society Series of standalone novels.

Scotch Soulmateby Jessica Mills & Ali Parker

I’m falling for my enemy, and things are getting hot fast.

They say a man can’t fight City Hall, but they haven’t met me yet.

When the land the ranch needs to expand is sold to build a new prison instead, there’s no way I’m going to let that ride.

The only problem is, my nemesis is the one in charge.

She’s a ball-busting bureaucrat who just happens to be the hottest woman I’ve ever seen.

She’s also a single mother whose pre-teen son is just hitting his rebellious phase.

Some time on the ranch can help the boy, but nothing can help the way I’m starting to feel about his mother.

Will she keep putting her career first, or will the ranch get in our way?

We might face more action than a rodeo, but this time I refuse to be bucked off.

I’m holding on to her for dear life…

This Ordinary Life by Jennifer Walkup

Sometimes hope is the most extraordinary gift of all.

High-school radio host Jasmine Torres’s life is full of family dysfunction, but if she can score the internship of her dreams with a New York City radio station, she knows she can turn things around.

That is, until her brother Danny’s latest seizure forces her to miss the interview, and she’s back to the endless loop of missing school for his doctor appointments, picking up the pieces of her mother’s booze-soaked life, and stressing about Danny’s future.

Then she meets Wes. He’s the perfect combination of smart, cute, and funny. He also happens to have epilepsy like her brother. Wes is living a normal life despite his medical issues, which gives Jasmine hope for Danny. But memories of her cheating ex-boyfriend keep Jasmine from going on a real date with Wes, no matter how many times he asks her.

Jasmine can’t control everything, not who wins the internship, not her mother’s addiction, not her brother’s health, not even where her heart will lead her. She wishes she could just have an ordinary life, but Jasmine may just discover that what she already has is pretty extraordinary after all.

One Perfect Lie by Lisa Scottoline

On paper, Chris Brennan looks perfect. He’s applying for a job as a high school government teacher, he’s ready to step in as an assistant baseball coach, and his references are impeccable.

But everything about Chris Brennan is a lie.

Susan Sematov is proud of her son Raz, a high school pitcher so athletically talented that he’s being recruited for a full-ride scholarship to a Division I college, with a future in major-league baseball. But Raz’s father died only a few months ago, leaving her son in a vulnerable place where any new father figure might influence him for good, or evil.

Heather Larkin is a struggling single mother who lives for her son Jordan’s baseball games. But Jordan is shy, and Heather fears he is being lured down a dark path by one of his teammates, a young man from an affluent family whose fun-loving manner might possibly conceal his violent plans.

Mindy Kostis succumbs to the pressure of being a surgeon’s wife by filling her days with social events and too many gin and tonics. But she doesn’t know that her husband and her son, Evan, are keeping secrets from her – secrets that might destroy all of them.

At the center of all of them is Chris Brennan. Why is he there? What does he want? And what is he willing to do to get it?

A Morbid Taste for Bones (The Chronicles of Brother Cadfael Book 1) by Ellis Peters

The “irresistible” and “compelling” first novel in the historical mystery series featuring a Welsh Benedictine monk in the twelfth century (The Washington Post).

A Welsh Benedictine monk living at Shrewsbury Abbey in western England, Brother Cadfael spends much of his time tending the herbs and vegetables in the garden—but now there’s a more pressing matter. Cadfael is to serve as translator for a group of monks heading to the town of Gwytherin in Wales. The team’s goal is to collect the holy remains of Saint Winifred, which Prior Robert hopes will boost the abbey’s reputation, as well as his own. But when the monks arrive in Gwytherin, the town is divided over the request.

When the leading opponent to disturbing the grave is found shot dead with a mysterious arrow, some believe Saint Winifred herself delivered the deadly blow. Brother Cadfael knows an earthly hand did the deed, but his plan to root out a murderer may dig up more than he can handle.

Before CSI and Law & Order, there was Brother Cadfael, “wily veteran of the Crusades” (Los Angeles Times). His knowledge of herbalism, picked up in the Holy Land, and his skillful observance of human nature are blessings in dire situations, and earned Ellis Peters a Crime Writers’ Association Silver Dagger Award. A Morbid Taste for Bones kicks off a long-running and much-loved series that went on to be adapted for stage, radio, and television.

Don't You Want Me? by Richard Easter

London,1981…

As race riots erupt, Prince Charles and Lady Diana prepare to marry, & New Romantics dance, an identity-shifting serial killer is operating in plain sight. But no one has realised except Detective Inspector Anna Leeding, who has secrets of her own…

Rated 4.4 on Amazon / 4.21 on Goodreads, “Don’t You Want Me?” is an exciting, atmospheric retro-crime novel for fans of twists, thrillers, history, music, and popular culture.

Amid Britain’s cultural and social upheaval of 1981, D.I. Anna Leeding suspects apparent accidents and suicides could be subtle acts of revenge, and strange blue charcoal messages may be the key to something bigger and deadlier.

But in this cat-and-mouse story of vengeance, no one is quite what they seem, and in 1981, when the New Romantics played with image, first appearances can be deceptive.

Who is carrying out the murders?
How and why are they choosing their victims?
And just how close is Leeding to the perpetrator?

The Duke’s Swordby C.H. Admirand

Gwendolyn guards her bruised and battered heart like a warrior…Patrick O’Malley has no time for distractions…

The Duke of Wyndmere’s quest to find a nanny for his newborn twins brings yet another applicant to his door. Widowed Gwendolyn Alexander’s reputation precedes her as one of the most sought-after nannies among the ton.

Patrick O’Malley, head of the duke’s personal guard, hopes this latest applicant will meet with the approval of the most difficult members of the duke’s family…his twin babes. Nothing prepares him for the physical reaction that slams into him as the petite woman, dressed in drab peat-brown from head to toe, steps down from the duke’s carriage. Her Irish whiskey-colored eyes hold him captive, while her voluptuous curves have his breath snagging in his lungs as unbidden images slam into him of tangled sheets…flickering firelight, and silky brown tresses spread across the white of his pillow.

Gwendolyn Alexander anticipates her reputation preceding her as she alights from the duke’s carriage. She steps down from the carriage to thank the footman for his assistance, and her gaze collides with an impossibly handsome, broad-shouldered man, garbed in black from head to toe. Desire flickers in eyes the color of polished emeralds, reminding her of Beltane fires, drawing her inexorably toward him.

When Gwendolyn and Patrick find themselves at cross purposes protecting the little ones from threats of kidnapping, they must learn to compromise and work together before the kidnapper strikes again!

Will they walk away or face the fire of desire that threatens to consume them?

In My Dreams I Hold a Knife: A Novel by Ashley Winstead

“Tense, twisty, and packed with shocks…a terrific read.”—Riley Sager, New York Times bestselling author of Home Before Dark

Six friends.
One college reunion.
One unsolved murder.

Ten years after graduation, Jessica Miller has planned her triumphant return to her southern, elite Duquette University, down to the envious whispers that are sure to follow in her wake. Everyone is going to see the girl she wants them to see—confident, beautiful, indifferent. Not the girl she was when she left campus, back when Heather Shelby’s murder fractured everything, including the tight bond linking the six friends she’d been closest to since freshman year.

But not everyone is ready to move on. Not everyone left Duquette ten years ago, and not everyone can let Heather’s murder go unsolved. Someone is determined to trap the real killer, to make the guilty pay. When the six friends are reunited, they will be forced to confront what happened that night—and the years’ worth of secrets each of them would do anything to keep hidden.

Told in racing dual timelines, with a dark campus setting and a darker look at friendship, love, obsession, and ambition, In My Dreams I Hold A Knife is an addictive, propulsive read you won’t be able to put down.

Dream Trail by Thomas J. Prestopnik

Eric Travers never imagined taking a three-week hiking trip through the wilderness. At twenty-seven, and several months after an unexpected breakup with his girlfriend, he was comfortably cocooned in his desk job at the Crandall Insurance Agency in Binghamton, NY, biding his time, yearning for spring and waiting for his life to blossom once again.

Then the weird dreams started. Images of lush, tree-covered mountains, ghostly apparitions and shamrocks inscribed with a puzzling symbol began to invade his sleep. He encountered a mysterious trio of fellow hikers and heard a vaguely familiar song from the 1970s playing in the background while walking in long, lazy circles above the treetops. He was driving himself crazy trying to decipher his nighttime visions yet felt drawn to a trail he knew nothing about, though all the while wondering if he was simply going mad.

So, he decided that the only way to solve this mystery was to temporarily leave his job, sling on a backpack and literally follow the trail to wherever it might lead. But after meeting others along the way who shared many aspects of his unusual story, the mystery only deepened as each footstep drew them closer to their destination and to a shadowy figure that suddenly haunted their latest round of dreams while on the trail.

Though he can’t claim to be even a novice backpacker, Thomas J. Prestopnik was easily inspired by others who are and wrote this backpacking novel with a dash of mystery to fulfill his true passion, telling a story. He is also the author of several other novels including “Nicholas Raven and the Wizards’ Web”, a Tolkien-inspired epic fantasy in three volumes.

Men We Reaped: A Memoir by Jesmyn Ward

Named one of the Best Books of the Century by New York Magazine

Two-time National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward (Salvage the Bones, Sing, Unburied, Sing) contends with the deaths of five young men dear to her, and the risk of being a black man in the rural South.

“We saw the lightning and that was the guns; and then we heard the thunder and that was the big guns; and then we heard the rain falling and that was the blood falling; and when we came to get in the crops, it was dead men that we reaped.” -Harriet Tubman

In five years, Jesmyn Ward lost five young men in her life-to drugs, accidents, suicide, and the bad luck that can follow people who live in poverty, particularly black men. Dealing with these losses, one after another, made Jesmyn ask the question: Why? And as she began to write about the experience of living through all the dying, she realized the truth-and it took her breath away. Her brother and her friends all died because of who they were and where they were from, because they lived with a history of racism and economic struggle that fostered drug addiction and the dissolution of family and relationships. Jesmyn says the answer was so obvious she felt stupid for not seeing it. But it nagged at her until she knew she had to write about her community, to write their stories and her own.

Jesmyn grew up in poverty in rural Mississippi. She writes powerfully about the pressures this brings, on the men who can do no right and the women who stand in for family in a society where the men are often absent. She bravely tells her story, revisiting the agonizing losses of her only brother and her friends. As the sole member of her family to leave home and pursue higher education, she writes about this parallel American universe with the objectivity distance provides and the intimacy of utter familiarity. A brutal world rendered beautifully, Jesmyn Ward’s memoir will sit comfortably alongside Edwidge Danticat’s Brother, I’m Dying, Tobias Wolff’s This Boy’s Life, and Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.

The Irresistible Introvert: Harness the Power of Quiet Charisma in a Loud World by Michaela Chung

“Chung celebrates the introvert’s natural magnetism, loyalty, intuition, and empathy. She covers coping skills for introverts to cultivate.” —Publishers Weekly

One third to one half of Americans are introverts in a culture that celebrates—even enforces—an ideal of extroversion and a cult of personality. Political leaders are charismatic, celebrities bask in the spotlight, and authority figures are assertive. It is no surprise that a “quiet revolution” has begun to emerge among the “invisible” half of the population, asserting that they are just as powerful in their own unique ways.

The Irresistible Introvert embodies the spirit of this revival and breaks down the myth that charisma is reserved for extroverts only. This mini manifesto shows introverts how to master the art of quiet magnetism in a noisy world—no gregariousness required! Within these pages, you’ll discover how to shed the mask of extroversion and reveal a more compelling (and authentic) you. You’ll also learn how to:

— Master the inner game of intrigue
— Manage your energy for optimal engagement
— Create an emotional ecosystem for charisma
— Establish introverted intimacy
— Cultivate communication skills for quiet types

As a “professional” charismatic introvert, author Michaela Chung demonstrates that you no longer have to forcefully push yourself outward into the world against your nature, but can rather magnetize people inward toward the true you. In the process, you’ll learn to embrace your “innie life” and discover potential you never knew you had.

Let's Grill Hawaii's Best BBQ Recipes by David Martin

Many regions have their unique take on what the word “barbecue” means to their culture. When we think of traditional barbecue, there is one particularly delicious regional barbecue that unfortunately often gets forgotten — the barbecue of Hawaii.

What is the image that comes to mind when you think about Hawaiian barbecue? Do you picture a scene that is almost paradise? Soft sands, clear waters, lush palm trees that cool the persistent heat as you enjoy meats so tender that they melt in your mouth, and flavors that are so fresh and tropical that you close your eyes, hardly believing that they are real? If this isn’t the image in your mind, it should be. A traditional Hawaiian barbecue is called a luau, and is a celebration of life, people, and food, and that is something that we should all do more of every day. Many of the traditional luau foods are slow-cooked over a smoky pit, giving us the impression that it is simply impossible to enjoy these delicacies without being able to travel to the islands any time we wish. While it may not be possible to completely recreate a Hawaiian atmosphere in your home and backyard, you can come really close with this collection of authentic Hawaiian barbecue recipes.

Inside, find:

• An introduction to Hawaii and their barbecue cuisine
• Common words that you might or might not know that are used in Hawaii and Hawaiian cooking
• Tasty appetizer recipes like the Pineapple Rumaki or the Mango Chicken Skewers
• Savory chicken recipes like the Shoyu Chicken or the Mochiko Chicken on the Grill
• Delicious beef recipes like the Pacific Carne Asada or the Hawaiian Beef Teriyaki
• Great pork and spam recipes like the Grilled Spam Burgers with Cilantro Slaw or the Grilled Kalua Style Pork
• Refreshing fish and seafood recipes like the Perfect Grilled Moonfish or the Grilled Mahi Mahi Tacos
• Masterful vegetable and side recipes like the Hawaiian Baked Beans or the Caramelized onion Maui Rice
• Easy to prepare Island desserts like the Haupia or the Kulolo

The Daughter She Used To Be by Rosalind Noonan

In this emotionally charged and riveting novel from the author of One September Morning and In a Heartbeat, one woman is torn between loyalty to her family’s ways and to her most profound convictions. . .

The daughter of a career cop, Bernadette Sullivan grew up with blue uniforms hanging in the laundry room and cops laughing around the dinner table. Her brother joined New York’s finest, her sisters married cops, and Bernie is an assistant District Attorney. Collaring criminals, putting them away—it’s what they do. And though lately Bernie feels a growing desire for a family of her own, she’s never questioned her choices. Then a shooter targets a local coffee shop, and tragedy strikes the Sullivan family.

Anger follows grief—and Bernie realizes that her father’s idea of retribution is very different from her own. All her life, she’s inhabited a clear-cut world of right and wrong, of morality and corruption. As Bernie struggles to protect the people she loves, she must also decide what it means to see justice served. And in her darkest hour, she will find out just what it means to be her father’s daughter.
