Broken Rival
by Tessa Bailey
Magnolia Brown loves Friday night football games, volunteering and dominating at high school swim meets. Just your average everyday eighteen-year-old. Except for one thing: She's from fifty years in the future. Magnolia's parents, two brilliant scientists, are the inventors of time travel, but due to widespread destruction and rampant abuse of the technology from a corrupt few, time travel is outlawed and punishable by death. When Magnolia's parents are seized and executed for illegally traveling to the past, they leave Magnolia stranded in 2026 without a way to get home. Now Magnolia has nowhere to turn but a complicated Kansas family with two sons--Fallon, her high school sweetheart with secrets of his own, and Ramsey, the brooding militia commander who hunts and kills criminals like her.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Murder
by Ally Carter
Ella Chambers didn't kill Liam Montgomery. If she had, she certainly wouldn't have done it outside his family's mansion during the Christmas party of the year. She definitely wouldn't have loaded his body into the trunk of her car. And she absolutely would not have announced to the town that the boy who ruined her life ten years ago was so dead to her. But now Liam is missing--nothing but a bloody spot on the drive and a host of unanswered questions--and Ella is the only person who knows he's still alive. So it's up to her to prove it. Liam Montgomery didn't want to die. But, it turns out, when you're the sole heir to a billionaire, someone might want you dead. Luckily for Liam, being dead works for him. Now he's on the hunt for a killer. Unfortunately, Ella is on the hunt for him. She'll have to prove he's still alive to clear her name, but that's easier said than done in a quaint mountain town where everyone knows your story but no one knows the truth.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Meltdown

Jordan Frost had to do it. Her family was simply too perfectly eccentric not to put in a novel. Then reality set in. The book about an oddball family's holiday adventures is coming out in November. Just in time for her trip home to Holly Bay, Washington. Jordan is desperately hoping she can keep her pseudonym a secret so she can stay in her family's good graces. She wrote the book under a pen name and when it was time for an author picture, she wore a wig and glasses. No one will know it was her, right? Wrong. Charles Pine, her high school friend who always hoped for more, recognizes the woman he's never gotten over as soon as he unpacks her book to shelve at the bookstore where he works. He knows this is the perfect opportunity to get Jordan to see him in a new light and he makes sure to run into her when she arrives home. She never thought of him as anything more than a shoulder to cry on back then, but he's determined to make her see him as boyfriend material. Can he be her hero and help her get through the season with her secret intact?
