From internationally bestselling author of the Cade Ranch Series, Greta Rose West, the first book in the Wisper Dreams Series, Rivers Between Us…

A woman finds safety in the one man she hurt the most.

Sheriff of Teton County, Carey Michaels, puts everyone else's needs before his own—always—but when his ex-best friend shows up in his life again, with a ten-year-old daughter and a mountain of problems in tow, he has to decide if he can handle his heart being broken.

Again.

Francesca Morris feels safer back in her Wyoming hometown, and her daughter Grace is certainly safer than she was in Texas, but the threat in their lives lingers, even in Wisper. The boy she used to love wants to protect her, but doubts and insecurities hit hard, and Frannie can't stand to hurt Carey again, even if he is the big bad sheriff. Carey’s all M.A.N. now, and he never leaves home without his handcuffs, but it isn’t locks Frannie’s afraid of.

It's her heart.

Fall in love with Carey and Frannie in the first book in the Wisper Dreams Series, with new characters and some of your favorites from Cade Ranch. Rivers Between Us is a standalone, but there will be many books to follow in this charming small town, each with its own HEA.

'An absolute page-turner, I'm actually on pins waiting for the story to unfold and my anxiety is through the roof. And what a jaw-swinging, heart-palpitating ending this book has, too!... An easy 5 star for me.' Reader Review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The debris from the party the night before is scattered underneath the village tree and across the cobbles. Red wine stains the ground like blood. And Joni has vanished.

Everyone in the village loves Joni Blackwood. She is beautiful and bold, and it's no surprise to anyone when on the annual village bonfire, she is crowned 'queen' of the festivities. After all, despite fierce competition from the charity-giving and churchgoing mothers in the village, she has won this honour five years in a row.

But this year, the morning after the party is not like the mornings before. This year, Joni is missing, the shower left running in her cottage.

When the next day, human remains are found in the church graveyard, everyone is quick to assume that the mystery of Joni's whereabouts has had a swift and deadly answer. But when it's revealed that the remains are the small bones of a baby, it's clear that Joni's disappearance only marks the start of dark truths in the village coming to light.

If the remains aren't Joni's, did she vanish because she put them there? Or because she knows who did?

The Village is an utterly compelling mystery with a twist you won't see coming. Perfect for fans of C J Tudor, Caroline Mitchell and Erin Kelly.

Touching on the themes of the popular FX series Justified featuring U.S. Marshall Raylan Givens, Valdez Is Coming is New York Times bestselling author Elmore Leonard's classic western tale of corruption, justice, and vengeance.

Forced to gun down an innocent man, part-time sheriff Roberto Valdez is nearly killed and run out of town when he seeks justice for the dead man’s family. But the same townsfolk who laughed at Valdez’s dark skin, mocked his decency, and tied him to a cross will find themselves on the wrong side of a gun when the lawman comes back to deliver his own brand of justice.

A Buzzfeed Best Gift Book of the Year

“A dark, atmospheric, and feminist story of three women in New York City's Gilded Age, each determined to thrive in a society hell-bent on keeping them down, and using their coven to do so." —Buzzfeed

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

Respectable Lady Seeks Dependable Shop Girl. Those averse to magic need not apply.

New York in the spring of 1880 is a place alive with wonder and curiosity. Determined to learn the truth about the world, its residents enthusiastically engage in both scientific experimentation and spiritualist pursuits. Séances are the entertainment of choice in exclusive social circles, and many enterprising women—some possessed of true intuitive powers, and some gifted with the art of performance—find work as mediums.

Enter Adelaide Thom and Eleanor St. Clair. At their humble teashop, Tea and Sympathy, they provide a place for whispered confessions, secret cures, and spiritual assignations for a select society of ladies, who speak the right words and ask the right questions. But the profile of Tea and Sympathy is about to change with the fortuitous arrival of Beatrice Dunn.

When seventeen-year-old Beatrice leaves the safety of her village to answer an ad that reads "Respectable Lady Seeks Dependable Shop Girl. Those averse to magic need not apply," she has little inclination of what the job will demand of her. Beatrice doesn't know it yet, but she is no ordinary small-town girl; she has great spiritual gifts—ones that will serve as her greatest asset and also place her in grave danger. Under the tutelage of Adelaide and Eleanor, Beatrice comes to harness many of her powers, but not even they can prepare her for the evils lurking in the darkest corners of the city or the courage it will take to face them.

“A Michener epic is far more than a bedtime reader, it’s an experience. Poland is a monumental effort, a magnificent guide to a better understanding of the country’s tribulations.”—Chicago Tribune

In this sweeping novel, James A. Michener chronicles eight tumultuous centuries as three Polish families live out their destinies. The Counts Lubonski, the petty nobles Bukowksi, and the peasants Buk are at some times fiercely united, at others tragically divided. With an inspiring tradition of resistance to brutal invaders, from the barbarians to the Nazis, and a heritage of pride that burns through eras of romantic passion and courageous solidarity, their common story reaches a breathtaking culmination in the historic showdown between the ruthless Communists and rebellious farmers of the modern age. Like the heroic land that is its subject, Poland teems with vivid events, unforgettable characters, and the unfolding drama of an entire nation.

BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from James A. Michener's Centennial.

As the hot, sultry summer days move on, she finds that even a perfectly smart girl can lose her heart to a perfectly bad boy.

'Funny, daring, and romantic, you’ll always have a good time with Kate Johnson' Sarah Rees Brennan, author of Long Live Evil

‘What’s so funny?’ she snapped.

He wanted to brush away that sweaty hair from her nape and kiss her there. His fingers remembered the heat and silk of her skin when he’d unfastened her dress. The scent of her, warm and rich, still lived in his mind. He wanted to lick the salt from her skin.

Remember you can’t have her. ‘Nothing,’ he said. ‘At all.’ He stood and extended his hand. ‘Your vessel awaits.’

In a world without magic, only the cunning survive…

In a realm where magic has vanished and a kingdom teeters on the brink, Ember Hart, a master thief with a hidden past, is thrust into a strange new world and a destiny she never sought. Anointed as ‘the Promised One’, she is bound by a twisted prophecy into an unholy union with the kingdom’s beastly prince. Rumours of his brutality haunt the palace halls.

But Ember is no sacrificial lamb.

Forming a precarious alliance with the dangerous Rhaell, Captain of the Guard, Ember seizes the chance to return home by helping to restore the kingdom’s lost magic. In this land of danger and desire, can she reclaim her freedom or, with every barb and bated breath, will her growing awareness of Rhaell risk everything she yearns for?

You can’t escape the darkness within. Or your fated mate.

Dragon King Nikolai Baudin witnessed how love destroyed his own father and vows to never take a mate, until the little girl he rescued years ago returns with a traveling caravan. Aria has become a stunning—and mysterious—woman, and he finds his desire for her overwhelming his resolve. But when he discovers some of his people murdered, Nikolai must face the possibility that the woman who draws him and his dragon so strongly may be responsible. He’ll risk everything to ferret out her secrets—even his battered heart. If he doesn’t, an ancient evil could destroy his entire kingdom.

Aria’s life is a delicate balance of making a life in the caravan and locking herself away to keep those around her safe once the sun sets. She never expected to see the darkly handsome king who once saved her from a burning pike, only to turn her over to strangers, and forget about her. But when she finds him again, it’s not anger she’s feeling, but something far more unsettling… desire. If he discovers her secret, she could lose everything she’s worked for. But when people begin to die, Aria fears that the past is repeating itself, and that the man she’s come to love could be her next victim.

Note to Readers: Nikolai of Semar is a medieval, paranormal romance featuring a super sexy dragon shifter and a woman who is far more than she seems. If you like a steamy book with a dragon shapeshifter, a mysterious heroine, the Fae, action-packed fight scenes, and funny side characters, then this book is for you! You get a happily ever after and no cliff-hangers.

February 2025. Trump's return to power is no longer a threat but a reality, and democracy's dismantling unfolds before our eyes. While Americans watch in horror, the silent witnesses to this transformation finally speak.

In this powerful collection of fifty unforgettable perspectives, Barry Robbins gives voice to the overlooked narrators of our unfolding national tragedy: The Resolute Desk witnessing the presidency's diminishment. A USAID wheat seed that will never reach starving children. A military school library's shelves emptied of diversity. The Capitol building requesting its own demolition permits.

From Jamaica Hospital, where Trump was born, to the water of Lake Kaweah, forced to commit "suicide" through politically-motivated mismanagement, these voices tell the story of American democracy's fever—rising daily with each executive order, each punishment of enemies, each demand for personal loyalty.

By turns darkly satirical and deeply moving, "HELL NO!" is a unique chronicle of what happens when a nation chooses power over principle, vengeance over values, and personality over democracy itself.

This is the testimony America needs—and the warning we cannot ignore.
