From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Sierra
Simone comes her steamy, TikTok-famous Priest series, in which
sinners and saints alike test the bonds of religion, love, and
lust. He leads a life of sin, and she's committed to a life of
virtue. Sean Bell is not a good man, and he's never pretended to
be. He doesn't believe in goodness, God, or any happy ending that
isn't paid for in advance. There are words for men like him:
playboy. Womanizer. Skirt-chaser. Sinner. When he meets a gorgeous
college girl at a fundraiser, he has no problem telling her exactly
what filthy things he wants to do to her-until he realizes she's
his best friend's little sister, Zenobia "Zenny" Iverson, all grown
up. Worse than that...she's also about to become a nun. Zenny,
though, isn't looking to play it safe during her final month of
freedom. She wants to make sure choosing God is the right path, and
to do that, she propositions Sean to show her every carnal
temptation she's leaving behind. Unable to refuse, Sean finds
himself falling for her, body and soul, and questioning not just
the morals he's dodged for years, but his relationship with the God
Zenny has pledged herself to. The only problem is...what if Sean
wants Zenny to choose him instead of Him?

Set on the coast of Sicily, The Safety Net is the twenty-fifth
novel in the bestselling Inspector Montalbano series by Andrea
Camilleri. ***Adapted for BBC4's Inspector Montalbano series***
Vigata is bustling as the new filming location for a Swedish
television series set in 1950. In the production frenzy, the
director asks the locals to track down movies and vintage photos to
faithfully recreate the air of Vigata at that time. Meanwhile,
Montalbano is grappling with a double mystery, one that emerges
from the past and another that leads him into the future . . .
Engineer Ernesto Sabatello, rummaging in the attic of his house,
finds some films shot by his father between 1958 and 1963, always
on the same day, 27 March, and always the same shot: the outside
wall of a country house. Montalbano hears the story and, intrigued,
begins to investigate its meaning. Meanwhile, a middle school is
threatened by a group of armed men, and a closer look at the case
finds Montalbano looking into the students themselves and delving
into the world of social media.

Jane Austen teased readers with the idea of a 'heroine whom no one
but myself will much like', but Emma is irresistible. 'Handsome,
clever, and rich', Emma is also an 'imaginist', 'on fire with
speculation and foresight'. She sees the signs of romance all
around her, but thinks she will never be married.
"While Quinn writes with spirit on weighty subjects like domestic
abuse, polygamy and religious cults, her primary and most poignant
theme seems to be female friendship."-New York Times Book Review
"An absolutely thrilling novel. I devoured it over a weekend,
unable to put it down. It's a clever and completely original take
on a domestic thriller."-Alex Michaelides, author of the #1 New
York Times bestseller The Silent Patient "Original, informative,
suspenseful-the big three in a literary slam bang."-New York
Journal of Books Blake's dead. They say his wife killed him. If
so... which one? Polygamist Blake Nelson built a homestead on a
hidden stretch of land-a raw paradise in the wilds of Utah-where he
lived with his three wives: Rachel, the first wife, obedient and
doting to a fault, with a past she'd prefer to keep quiet. Tina,
the rebel wife, everything Rachel isn't, straight from rehab and
the Vegas strip. And Emily, the young wife, naive and scared,
estranged from her Catholic family. The only thing that they had in
common was Blake. Until all three are accused of his murder. When
Blake is found dead under the desert sun, all three wives become
suspect-not only to the police, but to each other. As the
investigation draws them closer, each wife must decide who can be
trusted. With stories surfacing of a notorious cult tucked away in
the hills, whispers flying about a fourth wife, and evidence that
can't quite explain what had been keeping Blake busy, the three
widows face a reckoning that might shatter all they know to be
true. For fans of The Wife Between Us and The Dry comes a chilling
murder mystery that takes a domestic thriller's classic
question-"Did his wife kill him?"-and twists it into an completely
new type of suspense.

insight it provides into the life and experiences of the First
Century Christians in the Johannine community. In a final chapter

Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich...
Emma is also overly confident in her abilities as a matchmaker
for the residents of Highbury in Jane Austen's widely beloved
classic novel. Although convinced that she herself will never
marry, Emma makes finding the perfect partner for her new friend,
Harriet Smith, her most pressing project. It is a well-meaning
endeavor that leads both women into a complex tangle of intrigues,
misunderstandings, and conflicts of affection, especially after
several new admirers come to the fore whose sights are maddeningly
set on the wrong woman. Matters of the heart are never as simple as
they seem.
Jane Austen's charming novel of love, friendship, and social
grace is a timeless classic--as fresh, funny, and poignant as it
was when first written.
