The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell: A Novel

by Robert Dugoni


Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni’s coming-of-age story is, according to Booklist, “a novel that, if it doesn’t cross entirely over into John Irving territory, certainly nestles in close to the border.”

Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered, buoyed by his mother’s devout faith, his father’s practical wisdom, and his two other misfit friends.

Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls.

Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design—especially not the tragedy that caused him to turn his back on his friends, his hometown, and the life he’d always known. Running from the pain, eyes closed, served little purpose. Now, as he looks back on his life, Sam embarks on a journey that will take him halfway around the world. This time, his eyes are wide open—bringing into clear view what changed him, defined him, and made him so afraid, until he can finally see what truly matters.

Born Survivors: Three Young Mothers and Their Extraordinary Story of Courage, Defiance, and Hope

by Wendy Holden

 

The Nazis murdered their husbands but concentration camp prisoners Priska, Rachel, and Anka would not let evil take their unborn children too—a remarkable true story that will appeal to readers of The Lost and The Nazi Officer’s Wife, Born Survivors celebrates three mothers who defied death to give their children life.

Eastern Europe, 1944: Three women believe they are pregnant, but are torn from their husbands before they can be certain. Rachel is sent to Auschwitz, unaware that her husband has been shot. Priska and her husband travel there together, but are immediately separated. Also at Auschwitz, Anka hopes in vain to be reunited with her husband. With the rest of their families gassed, these young wives are determined to hold on to all they have left—their lives, and those of their unborn babies. Having concealed their condition from infamous Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, they are forced to work and almost starved to death, living in daily fear of their pregnancies being detected by the SS.

In April 1945, as the Allies close in, Priska gives birth. She and her baby, along with Anka, Rachel, and the remaining inmates, are sent to Mauthausen concentration camp on a hellish seventeen-day train journey. Rachel gives birth on the train, and Anka at the camp gates. All believe they will die, but then a miracle occurs. The gas chamber runs out of Zyklon-B, and as the Allied troops near, the SS flee. Against all odds, the three mothers and their newborns survive their treacherous journey to freedom.

On the seventieth anniversary of Mauthausen’s liberation from the Nazis by American soldiers, renowned biographer Wendy Holden recounts this extraordinary story of three children united by their mothers’ unbelievable—yet ultimately successful—fight for survival.

Eye of the Colossus: A Steampunk Space Opera Adventure (A Holly Drake Job Book 1)

by Nicole Grotepas

 

Some think the City of Jade Spires is a utopia. It very much isn’t.

Holly Drake is in prison for defending herself from a murderer. That’s the kind of corruption thriving in the city where evidence is destroyed and the innocent go to jail.

Someone exonerates Holly and she walks free. She has no idea who. Or why. But they have a job for her. Steal back the Eye of the Colossus, a priceless jewel. It’s about to be moved off-planet, and when that happens, the trail will go cold.

Out of prison with no other work on the horizon, the job is a gift. If only she knew how to pull off a heist. The clock is ticking. If she can assemble a team and pretend like she knows how to do this, maybe she can fake it long enough to do a job better suited to a master-thief. Why Holly? Who’s pulling her strings? And just how far across the moon system will she have to go to finish the job?

This is Holly Drake. Someone tried to kill her once. She survived. This time, she’ll conquer or die trying.

 

The Eye of the Colossus features a snarky, strong, bad ass heroine on her way from the bottom of her game to the top.

Black Sunshine: Book Three in The Unexplainable Collection

by Ninie Hammon


Secrets never stay buried with the corpses … not even under a mountain.

Ever since the day a rescue team dragged an unconscious Will Gribbins out of the smoke from the explosion that killed twenty-seven miners in the Harlan #7 Coal Mine, shame, guilt and fear have gnawed at Will's soul. Something happened down in the absolute dark of the mine after the explosion that Will swore a blood oath he’d never reveal, and keeping that secret for two decades reduced him to a homeless, under-a-bridge drunk.

But Will has finally stopped running. Clinging desperately to the precepts of a twelve-step program, he comes home to the mountains to seek impossible forgiveness, and to confess what he did—only to discover that the truth about what really happened that day in a mile-deep hole under Black Mountain lies in the magical coal statues carved by a handicapped boy. Will has no time to figure out the mystery of the statues, though. His return to Aintree Hollow has lit a fuse of retribution and insanity, and now only he can stop the madness before it explodes in another disaster that won’t be an accident. This time, it will be murder.

With painstaking research, award-winning journalist and bestselling thriller and suspense novelist Ninie Hammon has created a dark, dangerous world, accurate to the smallest detail. Her characters tell a story that will put you in mind of the prodigal son. If you enjoy gut-tightening suspense coupled with Hammon’s characteristic dusting of “the unexplainable,” step into the forever night of Black Sunshine’s coal mines. But don’t go too deep or stay too long. Or you might make the acquaintance of the mother of all terrors—being buried alive, gasping for breath until there’s no air left.

Black Sunshine is Book Three in the Unexplainable Collection. In this collection of four stand-alone suspense novels—each with its own cast, a unique setting and a story unconnected to the other three—all the characters start out believing that the universe operates in a predictable manner, that there are immutable laws and a natural reason for everything. The problem with that thinking is that some things aren’t natural. They’re supernatural. There are forces at work in the universe we can’t see, with power we can’t begin to imagine and plans we don’t understand.

She didn’t know it, but the second she entered my woods, she was mine for the taking.

Nature was my domain.

Where I preferred to be.
Hiking trails.
Guiding people through the tangle of scrub.

But then I got the rescue call – a chick with a twisted ankle stuck on a hill.
Typical city girls.
Clueless.

Only, when I found Fiona, I didn’t anticipate that she’d be so… smoking hot.

Fawn-like eyes.
Redheaded bob.
Curvy figure…
Hmm, my carnal desire went into overload.

I helped her back to my cabin.
But that was a mistake.
My “mountain man” urges couldn’t be resisted.
And the way she looked at me was far from innocent.
So, we made love... all night long.

After that, I never expected to see her again...

Until she showed up at my house and uttered two words that changed everything:
“I’m pregnant.”

Fiona wasn’t just a mere rescue anymore.
She was the mother of my baby.
And that meant she was mine.

But neither of us were prepared for what happened next…

A Paris Apartment: A Novel

by Michelle Gable


Bienvenue à Paris!

When April Vogt's boss tells her about an apartment in the ninth arrondissement that has been discovered after being shuttered for the past seventy years, the Sotheby's continental furniture specialist does not hear the words "dust" or "rats" or "decrepit." She hears Paris. She hears escape.

Once in France, April quickly learns the apartment is not merely some rich hoarder's repository. Beneath the cobwebs and stale perfumed air is a goldmine, and not because of the actual gold (or painted ostrich eggs or mounted rhinoceros horns or bronze bathtub). First, there's a portrait by one of the masters of the Belle Epoque, Giovanni Boldini. And then there are letters and journals written by the very woman in the painting, Marthe de Florian. These documents reveal that she was more than a renowned courtesan with enviable decolletage. Suddenly April's quest is no longer about the bureaux plats and Louis-style armchairs that will fetch millions at auction. It's about discovering the story behind this charismatic woman.

It's about discovering two women, actually.

With the help of a salty (and annoyingly sexy) Parisian solicitor and the courtesan's private diaries, April tries to uncover the many secrets buried in the apartment. As she digs into Marthe's life, April can't help but take a deeper look into her own. Having left behind in the States a cheating husband, a family crisis about to erupt, and a career she's been using as the crutch to simply get by, she feels compelled to sort out her own life too. When the things she left bubbling back home begin to boil over, and Parisian delicacies beyond flaky pâtisseries tempt her better judgment, April knows that both she and Marthe deserve happy finales.

Whether accompanied by croissants or champagne, this delectable debut novel depicts the Paris of the Belle Epoque and the present day with vibrant and stunning allure. Based on historical events, Michelle Gable's A Paris Apartment will entertain and inspire, as readers embrace the struggles and successes of two very unforgettable women.
