Morning's Refrain by Tracie Peterson
As dark family secrets
threaten the tranquility of the life he's come to love, Dalton Bjorklund
must make difficult choices about the future. To complicate matters,
Phoebe Robbins falls into his life quite literally when Dalton rescues
her after she falls overboard in the Sitka Harbor. He quickly loses his
heart.
But Dalton is not the only one who decides to seek
Phoebe's attentions--his best friend, Yuri, decides to court her when
Dalton must travel from Sitka. But when Dalton realizes the depth of his
love for Phoebe and returns, the two friends find that their battle for
Phoebe's affection is only the start of the problems that face them.
With Good Behavior by Jennifer Lane
In a world gripped by
organized crime, family dysfunction, and dim hopes of redemption, can
true love persevere? For Sophie Taylor, a beautiful psychologist who
lost everything when she violated an ethical boundary, and Grant Madsen,
a handsome naval officer who sacrificed everything to protect a loved
one, finding that love may carry an unbearable cost.
Starting
their lives over in Chicago, both are fighting influences from their
family and running as fast as they can to escape the past. When their
paths cross outside the parole officer's door, the attraction is
instantaneous. But a hidden connection may not only shatter their
fledgling love, but prove deadly to them both.
Dawn's Prelude by Tracie Peterson
Newly widowed Lydia
Sellers discovers that through an unforeseen fluke, she is the sole
recipient of her husband's fortune. But instead of granting her
security, it only causes strife as her adult stepchildren battle to
regain the inheritance for themselves. Lydia, longing to put the
memories of her painful marriage behind her, determines to travel to
Alaska to join her aunt.
Lydia's arrival in Sitka, however, brings
two things she didn't expect. One is the acquaintance of Kjell
Bjorklund, the handsome owner of the sawmill. Second is the discovery
that she is pregnant with her dead husband's child. What will this mean
for her budding relationship with Kjell? And what lengths will her
stepchildren go to reclaim their father's fortune? Lydia soon finds her
life--and that of her child's--on the line.
Dead Men's Dust by Matt Hilton
The electrifying debut
of ex-military officer and all-around tough guy Joe Hunter, who is on
the trail of his missing and estranged brother . . . and the madman who
may have taken him
Joe Hunter solves problems. Or, as he likes to
put it, he's "the weapon sent in when all the planning is done and all
that's left is the ass kicking." And as a former military operative and
ex-CIA agent, he's good at what he does. But when he's told that his
brother--with whom he hasn't been on the best of terms--has disappeared,
he learns that everything he's faced before is child's play compared to
what's coming.
Tubal Cain is a killer--smart, stealthy, and
arrogant--but he's also sentimental. His most precious possession is the
set of knives he uses, and when one of them (his favorite Bowie) is
stolen along a deserted stretch of highway, Cain will stop at nothing to
get it back.
Unfortunately for Hunter, the thief is his brother,
a man who has been on the run from his own mis-takes but is now in the
crosshairs of a seriously deranged man. To find his brother, Hunter must
find Cain, and the chase takes all three men on a hair-raising journey
across the country to a barren spot in the American Southwest, where
bones have become nothing more than dead men's dust.
Those in Peril by Wilbur Smith
Hazel Bannock is heir to
the Bannock Oil Corporation, one of the major global oil producers.
While cruising the Indian Ocean, her yacht is hijacked by Somalian
pirates and her nineteen-year-old daughter, Cayla, kidnapped. The
pirates demand a crippling twenty-billion-dollar ransom for her release,
and complicated political and diplomatic sensitivities render the major
powers incapable of intervening.
With growing evidence
of the horrific torture to which Cayla is being subjected, Hazel calls
on Hector Cross to help her rescue her daughter. Hector is the man
behind Cross Bow Security, the company contracted to Bannock Oil
Corporation to provide all their protection. He is a formidable fighting
man. Between them, Hazel and Hector are determined to take the law into
their own hands.
Calico Joe by John Grisham
Whatever happened to Calico Joe?
It began quietly enough with a pulled hamstring. The first baseman for
the Cubs AAA affiliate in Wichita went down as he rounded third and
headed for home. The next day, Jim Hickman, the first baseman for the
Cubs, injured his back. The team suddenly needed someone to play first,
so they reached down to their AA club in Midland, Texas, and called up a
twenty-one-year-old named Joe Castle. He was the hottest player in AA
and creating a buzz.
In the summer of 1973 Joe Castle was
the boy wonder of baseball, the greatest rookie anyone had ever seen.
The kid from Calico Rock, Arkansas dazzled Cub fans as he hit home run
after home run, politely tipping his hat to the crowd as he shattered
all rookie records.
Calico Joe quickly became the idol of every
baseball fan in America, including Paul Tracey, the young son of a
hard-partying and hard-throwing Mets pitcher. On the day that Warren
Tracey finally faced Calico Joe, Paul was in the stands, rooting for his
idol but also for his Dad. Then Warren threw a fastball that would
change their lives forever…

Hollywood Moon by Joseph Wambaugh
There's a saying at
Hollywood station that the full moon brings out the beast--rather than
the best--in the precinct's citizens. One moonlit night, LAPD veteran
Dana Vaughn and "Hollywood" Nate Weiss, a struggling-actor-turned cop,
get a call about a young man who's been attacking women. Meanwhile, two
surfer cops known as Flotsam and Jetsam keep bumping into an odd,
suspicious duo--a smooth-talking player in dreads and a crazy-eyed,
tattooed biker.
No one suspects that all three dubious characters might
be involved in something bigger, more high-tech, and much more illegal.
After a dizzying series of twists, turns, and chases, the cops will find
they've stumbled upon a complex web of crime where even the criminals
can't be sure who's conning whom.
