Pacificby Tom Drury

“A truly great writer” returns to the Midwest characters and setting of his landmark debut novel, The End of Vandalism (Esquire).

When fourteen-year-old Micah Darling travels to Los Angeles to reunite with the mother who abandoned him seven years ago, he finds himself out of his league in a land of magical freedom. He does new drugs with new people, falls in love with an enchanting but troubled equestrienne named Charlotte, and gets thrown out of school over the activities of a club called the New Luddites.

Back in the Midwest, an ethereal young woman comes to Stone City on a mission that will unsettle the lives of everyone she meets including Micah’s half-sister, Lyris, who still fights fears of abandonment after a childhood in foster care, and his father, Tiny, a petty thief. An investigation into the stranger’s identity uncovers a darkly disturbed life, as parallel narratives of the comic and tragic, the mysterious and everyday, unfold in both the country and the city.

“Pacific is a terrific book, and a strange one, as strange as the world and the great literature that helps us make our way through it.” —The New York Times Book Review

“On the surface, Pacific is a disarmingly plain tale about people managing loss. But look closer, and you’ll see it’s as deep as the ocean it’s named after.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“If The End of Vandalism provided a world for readers to slow down and catch their breath, Pacific is determined to knock it out of them.” —New York Observer

The Stranded in Provence Mysteries, Books 1-3by Susan Kiernan-Lewis

Ever wonder what you’d do if someone pushed the re-set button on the world?

The Stranded in Provence Mysteries tell the story of an American woman on vacation in the south of France when the unthinkable happens. After a dirty bomb explodes over the Riviera she finds herself stranded in a French village where daily life is essentially sent reeling back to the 1950s.

So now forget solving crimes with DNA or accessing massive criminal databases. Likewise forget worrying about international terrorism, because that’s now gone too. But you can also forget spending hours on your smartphone, tablet, computer or even TV set.
On the other hand, the bistros are all still open, the produce and cheese markets still run every morning, bicycles dominate the wide avenues instead of cars, and for a budding amateur sleuth and now permanent expat, any murders she stumbles across will have to be solved the old-fashioned way—with brain power and shoe leather.

Oh, and it turns out that romance still works the same as before too.

Brilliance (The Brilliance Trilogy Book 1)by Marcus Sakey

In Wyoming, a little girl reads people’s darkest secrets by the way they fold their arms. In New York, a man sensing patterns in the stock market racks up $300 billion. In Chicago, a woman can go invisible by being where no one is looking. They’re called “brilliants,” and since 1980, one percent of people have been born this way. Nick Cooper is among them; a federal agent, Cooper has gifts rendering him exceptional at hunting terrorists. His latest target may be the most dangerous man alive, a brilliant drenched in blood and intent on provoking civil war. But to catch him, Cooper will have to violate everything he believes in–and betray his own kind.

From Marcus Sakey, “a modern master of suspense” (Chicago Sun-Times) and “one of our best storytellers” (Michael Connelly), comes an adventure that’s at once breakneck thriller and shrewd social commentary; a gripping tale of a world fundamentally different and yet horrifyingly similar to our own, where being born gifted can be a terrible curse.

Trident Security Series: A Special Collection Volume IIIby Samantha A. Cole

**A Special Collection of books in the Trident Security series and its multiple spinoff series – Volume III

Tickle His Fancy: Trident Security

All around him, Brody Evans’s Trident Security teammates have fallen in love and gotten their happily ever after. Ironically, they’d always thought the charismatic Dominant would be the first one to fall–not the last.

While helping a friend try a new bakery for her wedding cake, he finds himself drooling–not over the delicious confections, but the sweet baker who’d created them. Although she seems immune to his charms, he’s determined to win her over.

The lone survivor of a horrific car accident that claimed the lives of her husband and unborn child, Fancy Maguire’s world was destroyed. Three years later, she’s finally shedding the dark shroud she’d been existing under. When Brody sparks something deep within her she never expected to feel again, will she dare to give love another try?

With a killer on the loose and an unknown vandal targeting Fancy’s business, Brody finds plenty of reasons to keep her close. Can he break through the steel barrier she has wrapped around her heart? Or will he lose her before he can convince her to take a second chance on love?

Absolving His Sins: Trident Security

The huntress has become the hunted, in more ways than one. Jordyn Alvarez works for the United States government–a fact no one in authority will admit. She does Uncle Sam’s dirty work. Some might call her an agent, but few know her real title–assassin.

Trained by one of the best black operatives in the world, she wants nothing more than to add him to the long list of people she’s sent straight to hell; but she doesn’t dare get close to him ever again. If she did, she couldn’t be sure her body wouldn’t betray her once more and she’d wind up in bed with him. But with her cover blown, she may not have a choice.

Who is he? He’s a ghost. A man with one name–Carter.

Double Down & Dirty: Doms of The Covenant

Grayson and Remington Mann–fraternal twins, the CEOs of Black Diamond Records, and Dominants in the BDSM lifestyle who enjoy sharing the same woman.

Abigail Turner–the Mann brothers’ personal secretary and an innocent woman who’s off limits . . . or is she?

Gray and Remi have been craving the woman they see every day at the office, but their strict policy of not dating employees puts a huge crimp in things. That is, until they discover Abigail has a naughty little secret. Now, there’s nothing holding the men back as they set out to show her how they can both love her and she can love them in return.

Come meet the Doms of The Covenant and the submissives who bring them to their knees.

Option Number Three: Trident Security

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas . . . or does it?

Dominant Mitch Sawyer has been lusting after submissive Tori Frejya since she first stepped into the private BDSM club he owns with his cousins. But he’d waited too long to approach her, and she now belongs to someone else, while he watches from afar. When Tori asks him for a favor that involves going to Vegas with her and her Dominant switch, Tyler Ellis, Mitch can’t refuse.

After a night with Tori and Tyler, which goes way out of his comfort zone, Mitch is left confused and unsure for the first time in his life. He now faces three options–but will he have the courage to choose the one he never knew he wanted?

***The Trident Security series contains elements of the BDSM lifestyle, sensual romance, nail-biting suspense, and happily-ever-afters.

My Second Chance Secret Babyby C. Morgan

It’s no secret that every woman wants me.

Charming, wealthy, and I have an empire for my legacy.

Unfortunately for most, I’m not the family kind of man.

You might call me a lone wolf. The guy who stands alone and loves it.

Late nights, good booze, and a hot woman on my arm are all I’m after.

Until a hot number from my past resurfaces.

She used to be the one I dreamt of growing old with, back when I wasted my time on hope, dreams, and the lies they offer.

Crazy enough, the chemistry between us is off the charts.

It’s been a long time since a woman has left my heart racing, my hands sweaty, and my body aching for a simple touch.

So I do what any gentleman might do to get around a lady he’s interested in–I offer her a job.

But something’s off. She’s got a little girl, and the angel looks a little too much like my side of the family.

Surely not.

I’m not looking for a long-term relationship, just a rekindling between the sheets.

Or so I tell myself. When the nagging truth is that maybe this is my second chance with the only girl I’ve ever loved.

Not sure if fate is offering me a dream or a nightmare, but either way, I’m taking it.

This woman is mine.

Only Begotten Daughter (Harvest Book)by James Morrow

The World Fantasy Award–winning novel of a female deity trying to save a modern world gone mad–“Invites comparisons with Vonnegut and even Rushdie” (The Washington Post).
Rejoice! A new messiah has come, and her name is Julie. Born to Murray Katz, the solitary (and celibate) keeper of an abandoned lighthouse on the Jersey shore, our protagonist arrives on Earth boasting supernatural abilities evocative of her divine half brother, Jesus. As a child, she revels in her talent for walking on water, resurrecting dead crabs, and treating fireflies as luminous alphabet blocks. But after she reaches adolescence, her life becomes as challenging and ambiguous as any mortal’s. Not only is Julie Katz obliged to deal with a silver-tongued devil and self-righteous neo-Christian zealots, she must also figure out what sort of mission her mother–the female Supreme Being–has in mind for her.
At once outrageous and affirming, this Nebula Award finalist is a magnificent work of contemporary satire that holds a mirror up to human nature, astutely reflecting our species’ failings, foibles, and often misguided affections.

The Year of Less: How I Stopped Shopping, Gave Away My Belongings, and Discovered Life is Worth More Than Anything You Can Buy in a Storeby Cait Flanders

In her late twenties, Cait Flanders found herself stuck in the consumerism cycle that grips so many of us: earn more, buy more, want more, rinse, repeat. Even after she worked her way out of nearly $30,000 of consumer debt, her old habits took hold again. When she realized that nothing she was doing or buying was making her happy—only keeping her from meeting her goals—she decided to set herself a challenge: she would not shop for an entire year.

The Year of Less documents Cait’s life for twelve months during which she bought only consumables: groceries, toiletries, gas for her car. Along the way, she challenged herself to consume less of many other things besides shopping. She decluttered her apartment and got rid of 70 percent of her belongings; learned how to fix things rather than throw them away; researched the zero waste movement; and completed a television ban. At every stage, she learned that the less she consumed, the more fulfilled she felt.

The challenge became a lifeline when, in the course of the year, Cait found herself in situations that turned her life upside down. In the face of hardship, she realized why she had always turned to shopping, alcohol, and food—and what it had cost her. Unable to reach for any of her usual vices, she changed habits she’d spent years perfecting and discovered what truly mattered to her.

Blending Cait’s compelling story with inspiring insight and practical guidance, The Year of Less will leave you questioning what you’re holding on to in your own life—and, quite possibly, lead you to find your own path of less.

Leadership for Law Enforcement Decoded

Are you a sworn or civilian law enforcement supervisor? Are you considering becoming a first-line supervisor? Are you interested in becoming a better leader? If so, this is the book to read.

You have spent some time learning all the skills it takes to be a good cop, deputy, agent, or civilian member of a law enforcement agency. You've proven yourself on the front lines. You relied on tools such as protective instruments, defensive tactics, handcuffs, firearms, and your experience. In short, you've been a Superhero. To successfully transition from Superhero to Supervisor requires a new set of tools and skills; soft skills.

As a supervisor, you are expected to know how to motivate the superheroes you lead, rate their performance, reward them when they do an outstanding job, and hold them accountable when they screw up. You also have a boss to report to, who will hold you responsible for doing all those things. After reading this book, you will be equipped with a new set of tools. Think about it as an entry-level academy for supervisors. If you follow the guidelines and lessons inside this book, you will not only be a successful supervisor; you will be a confident leader that others look up to and respect.

It's time to arm yourself with soft skills for hard results!

Relatively Strange: A Roller-Coaster Of A Psi-Fi Thriller (Strange Series Book 1)by Marilyn Messik

TELEPATH, SENSE OF HUMOUR, OVERACTIVE CONSCIENCE, KNOWS HER OWN MIND – AND YOURS. PREFERS QUIET LIFE TO LIFE-THREATENING. HOW’S THAT WORKING OUT THEN?

It’s tricky to know what’s normal if you’re not, But Stella’s north west London upbringing is average enough, and her eccentric, protective (paranoid?) family are not given to making a fuss. 

Only when she finds herself smack dab in the middle of a situation, face to face with the stark reality of medical experimentation and its horrifying consequences, does she realise how sure she is of one thing. This hero stuff just isn’t her. Normal, or as near as damn it is what she wants for the future, and if that means smothering her instincts, so be it. At least she’ll know, should she slip off the wagon occasionally, it’ll be choice not chance.

Isn’t it a fact though, just when you think you’ve got yourself back on track, events can overtake and derail you.
