2084
by Elliot Ackerman
By the year 2084, the world is divided into the equatorial countries that bear the brunt of the climate crisis--led by Nigeria, Brazil, and Indonesia--and wealthier countries like China and the US, beset by their own problems after a series of civil wars. Tensions between the two sets of countries have reached a breaking point, until finally the so-called Reparationist nations of the equator decide that only military force can bring them justice. A disturbingly plausible extrapolation from current realities, 2084 deploys a global cast of characters, all protecting their interests as the fate of human civilization hangs in the balance.

Five-Star Summer
by Sarah Morgan
Evie has grown up in the Hotel Alexandra Cornwall, working nearly every position before becoming interim general manager. Yet familiarity breeds dismissiveness rather than respect; longtime employees still see her as a child. Abby, by contrast, has built her career within her mother's successful hotel empire. Despite her experience, she remains on the margins, excluded by colleagues who view her as an extension of ownership rather than a capable professional in her own right. When Abby is assigned to support Evie for the summer, their tentative partnership deepens into a friendship grounded in shared frustrations and hard-earned insights. Set against the stunning coastal vistas of Cornwall--sweeping sea views, rugged cliffs, and sunlit beaches--this tale includes well-developed secondary characters who add depth and texture. Both women also find themselves drawn into unexpected summer romances, relationships that complicate their professional ambitions and personal loyalties. As the season wanes, secrets surface, and difficult choices loom, forcing each woman to reconsider the future she once imagined.

The Last Lady B
by Eloisa James
Lady B may have married Bluebeard; she may have fallen in love with a gorgeous, grumpy solicitor; she may have met a ghost and survived to tell the tale New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Eloisa James delights with witty historical romance with a gothic twist. In the depths of winter, Lady Genevieve Hughes, her pet piglet, and her septuagenarian husband travel to a haunted abbey in the Scottish Highlands. Evie is excited to meet a ghost (perhaps one of her husband's three previous wives), but didn't expect the funny, quirky guests to become the friends she's never had. And she certainly didn't imagine meeting Sir Godric Everly, a sardonic, witty solicitor who loathes her husband. Yet as secrets and lies turn Evie's world upside down, Sir Godric becomes the one person whom she can trust. When ghosts, multiple wills, and a shocking marriage certificate bring Lord Burnsby's past crashing into his present, Burnsby promptly dies, leaving Evie free to remarry...though as a virgin wife, now a virgin widow, she is more unnerved by the marriage bed than a spectral visit. More importantly, she has to figure out whose identity is false, whose vows are dishonorable, whose truths could destroy her reputation--and where her heart belongs.

And the handsome benefactor - mostly absent, yet somehow everywhere - begins to unnerve her. As her sense of self begins to slip, so does her grip on the truth. What happens to women who don't fit neatly into a gilded frame?
