Anatomy of an Alibi
by Ashley Elston
Everyone at Chantilly's Bar noticed out-of-towner Camille Bayliss.
Red lips, designer heels, sipping a Negroni. Flirted a little with a local
but returned alone to her B&B before midnight in her sleek car. But
that woman wasn't Camille Bayliss--it was Aubrey Price. Aubrey has been haunted by the terrible night that changed her life a decade ago, and she's convinced Benjamin Bayliss knows something about it. Living in a house full of criminals, Aubrey understands there's more than one
way to get to the truth--and she may have found the perfect way in. Camille Bayliss appears to have the picture-perfect life, only nothing is
as it appears: Camille believes Ben has been hiding dirty secrets for years, but she can't find proof because he tracks her every move.
Aubrey and Camille hatch a plan--

Brimstone
by Callie Hart
Saeris Fane doesn't want power. The very last thing she needs is
her name whispered on an entire court's lips, but now that she's been crowned queen of the Blood Court, she's discovering that a queen's
life is not her own. A heavy weight rests upon her shoulders. Her
ward--and her brother--need her back in her homeland, but the
changes that have strengthened Saeris have also made her weak.
Born under blazing suns, Saeris will surely die if she makes her way home through the Quicksilver.

The Fisherman's Gift
by Julia R. Kelly
It's 1900 and Skerry, a small Scottish fishing village, is destined for
an unyielding winter. During a storm, a young boy washes up on the shore. He bears an uncanny resemblance to teacher Dorothy's son,
lost to the sea at the same age many years before, his body never
found. The village is soon snowed in, and Dorothy agrees to look
after the child until they can uncover the mystery of his origins. But
over time, the lines between reality and desperate hope start to blur
as the boy reminds Dorothy more and more of her own lost child. The boy's arrival also finally forces Dorothy to face the truth about her
brief but passionate love affair with Joseph, the fisherman who found
the boy on the shore and who has been the subject of whispers connecting him to the drowning of Dorothy's son years earlier. As the past rises to meet the present, long-buried secrets are unearthed
within this tight-knit community, and the child's arrival becomes a
catalyst for something far greater than any of them could imagine.

Sky Daddy
by Kate Folk
Linda is doing her best to lead a life that would appear normal to the casual observer. Weekdays, she earns $20 an hour moderating comments for a video-sharing platform, then rides the bus home to the windowless garage she rents on the outskirts of San Francisco. But on the last Friday of each month, she indulges her true passion, taking BART to SFO for a round-trip flight to a regional hub. The destination
is irrelevant, because each trip means a new date with a handsome stranger--a stranger whose intelligent windscreens, sleek fuselages,
and powerful engines make Linda feel a way that no human ever could. Linda knows that she can't tell anyone she's sexually obsessed with planes. Nor can she reveal her belief that it's her destiny to marry one
of her suitors, uniting with her soulmate plane for eternity. But when an opportunity arises to hasten her dream of eternal partnership, and the carefully balanced elements of her life begin to spin out of control, she must choose between maintaining the trappings of normalcy and launching herself headlong toward the love she's always dreamed of. Both subversive and unexpectedly heartwarming, Sky Daddy hijacks the classic love story, exploring desire, fate, and the longing to be accepted for who we truly are.

Vianne
by Joanne Harris
Secrets. Chocolate. A touch of magic. On the evening of July 4th, a young woman scatters her mother's ashes in New York and follows

For the first time in her life, Vianne feels in control of her future. Charming her way into a job as a waitress, she tries to fit in, make friends, and come to terms with her pregnancy, knowing that by the

As she discovers the joy of cooking for the very first time, making local recipes her own with the addition of bittersweet chocolate spices, she learns that this humble magic has the power to unlock secrets. And yet her gift comes at a price. And Vianne has a secret of her own; a secret that threatens everything.
