The House on Prospect by Bernadette Walsh (On Sale Now)

Ellen Murphy spent her childhood in an idyllic house by the sea. A house surrounded by flower-filled gardens and a white picket fence. A house she fled at eighteen. A house full of secrets.

When her mother Rose, an ex-nun, is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Ellen reluctantly returns home to care for her and uncovers a clue to the one secret that has haunted Ellen all her life: the identity of her father. But that is just one of the many secrets hidden behind the beautiful facade of the house on Prospect Road. Ellen discovers the high price both her mother and her Irish grandmother paid for the house on Prospect and she realizes that her meek mother is more of stranger to her than her absent father.

Shadow Marsh by Caroline Bourne (On Sale Now)

Anna Rose St. Cyr, determined to hold her family plantation, was more woman than most men could handle. The headstrong southern belle had a mind of her own and she could not deny that she’d met her match in handsome Morgan York. After hiring the mysterious stranger as foreman of her Louisiana plantation, she could think of nothing except his lean hard body pressed against hers, the strength of his arms around her, and the taste of passion on his lips.

Morgan York would not be tamed. He kept his heart, scarred, shielded from any who tried, but something burned bright in the emerald eyes of Anna St. Cyr. He sensed rebellion and wildness in her soul that brought out emotions he thought long dead and threatened to consume him. With each passing day, he grew more obsessed with her southern sensuality, and captivated with her response to his touch. Knowing that his past could mean the destruction of their future, he vows to hear her call out his name as makes her his own.

Cold Comfort by Ellis Vidler (On Sale Now)

On Sale Now!

After being dumped by her faithless fiancé, Claire Spencer has abandoned her dreams of a family of her own tucked neatly inside a picket fence. Instead, she’s plotting her solo course and settling for a quiet life as an independent Williamsburg shop owner. So how does she become a killer’s target?

Sometime security consultant Riley, burned out, disillusioned, and haunted by a young girl he couldn’t save, vows never to work with women again. But when a thug tries to kill the friend of a friend, the woman winds up in his arms, and all Riley’s plans go to hell. Knowing she’s in danger, he can’t walk away.

While dodging speeding cars, ducking bullets, and escaping through murky swamp waters, conventional Claire and freewheeling Riley struggle against their powerful chemistry—if she’s picket fences, he’s barbed wire.

Opposites do attract.

Who is Ellis Vidler?

As a child in the South, I spent long, hot days imagining myself an Indian or pioneer or musketeer. At night I (and my whole family) read. From Geronimo and D’Artagnan to Anne Shirley and Nancy Drew, I lived them all. No angst in my childhood. Later I became the glamorous Scarlett O’Hara (a stretch, I admit). So where did that leave me as an adult? Writing fiction, what else? I love creating characters and making them do what I want, but mostly they take off on their own and leave me hurrying to catch up.

All my stories have some degree of romance and a lot of suspense. My first book, published by Silver Dagger Mysteries, was Haunting Refrain. The second was The Peeper, a suspense novel co-authored with retired LEO Jim Christopher. (That was a trip, let me tell you!) And now, Cold Comfort, my new romantic suspense.

I’ll continue to write as I can dream.

Blind Traveler’s Blues by Robert P. Bennett (On Sale Now)

The year is 2021. Natural forces have changed our world. As the Earth’s magnetic poles have shifted, pressure on the planet’s mantle layer is building. The bottom line…earthquakes now wreak havoc in areas they have never occurred before.

In Mexico, members of an archaeological team investigate the remains of an ancient village uncovered by a quake; racing to prove their theories about the civilization that once lived there. But, disaster strikes when the accidental destruction of an artifact unleashes a worldwide agricultural plague.

Halfway across the continent, Douglas Abledan, a blind computer technologist, embarks on a long-anticipated vacation. On the plane to Chicago, he meets world-renowned agricultural pathologist Cara Cordelia, but their chance meeting could cost them both their lives.

In this stand-alone sequel to his critically acclaimed “Blind Traveler Down a Dark River,” author Robert P. Bennett continues to bring us suspense and intrigue while exploring a world of the not too distant future. While society struggles with the impact of natural changes, the advancement of new technology enables a blind man to investigate a murder.

Assignment: Nepal by J.A. Squires (On Sale Now)

When Irene Adler receives a plea for help on her answering machine from a former classmate it sends her to Nepal, a land of beauty, tika flowers, blackmail, and murder.

The death of a Sherpa who has fallen on a mountain pass, student demonstrations, the murder of a Russian salesman, and finally, the bombing of a hotel in Kathmandu all have one thing in common: some photos for which people are willing to kill.

Enter Franklin Herbert, distinguished professor and Irene’s former mentor. Herbert is British, elderly, apparently scatterbrained, and–as Irene will slowly discover–not what he seems. Following a trail of murder and lies under the seemingly befuddled guidance of her old professor, Irene must discover the film’s content and those pursuing it in time to stop a terrible threat to the once peaceful mountain kingdom of Nepal with a little help from the mysterious Chwwaassaa Dyo.

Superior Longing by Patrica Deuson

Life is what happens when you’re looking elsewhere. Looking elsewhere is also dangerous.

Neva Moore is the administrator/accountant/ instructor/renovator-in-residence at Cooks’ Inn, quaintly settled on the central Californian coast. Neva has put more than a little time and effort into the upcoming opening of the Inn, but as the big day draws near, she finds something is amiss.

Each day as Neva deals with the little things involved, she finds herself exhausted from jumping over unforeseen hurdles. What Neva can’t understand is why her boss seems hell-bent on making sure the Inn doesn’t open.

Patricia Deuson:

It may be that climbing up the rickety scaffolding inside the Khufu pyramid in Giza when she was 8 moths pregnant,  the birth of her first kid on an island in the Nile, or living in any one of  5 African countries, some of which were not undergoing a revolution at the time, could be called exciting. But Pat, whose been writing for a long time in many and various places, some where the electricity was ‘spotty’ and food was scarce, finds it plenty exciting enough to live and write in California. And she hopes you like her California based Sierra Nevada Moore mystery series.
