When a secret message turns up hidden in a book in the Cinnamon Bun
Bookstore, Hazel can't understand it. As more secret codes appear
between the pages, she decides to follow the trail of clues… she just
needs someone to help her out.
Some doors are locked for a reason…
He’s beautiful, brooding, and bossy…and she just agreed to three fake dates with him. Stefan Dalca is public enemy number one in this small town, a prickly outsider with a murky past that’s hard to overlook. All he wants is to race his horses and be left alone―but when veterinarian Mira Thorne needs his help to save a sick foal, he’s too drawn to her to refuse. In exchange…he wants her. Their time together starts as a simple transaction, but the more Mira gets to know Stefan, the more she wonders if he isn’t quite the villain everyone’s made him out to be. With every intimate conversation and lingering look, the tension between them builds. She’s been drawn to Stefan since the day she laid eyes on him…but now he’s downright irresistible. Mira knows sleeping with the enemy is playing with fire. But like a moth to a flame, she’s attracted to the mysterious man in a way those closest to her wouldn’t approve of or understand. And the more Stefan softens for her, the harder she falls. But as his mysteries unravel, so do hidden truths. Truths that are bound to get someone burned. Mira just didn’t expect that someone to be her.
A young girl must face a life-altering decision after awakening her sister’s ghost, navigating truths about love, friendship, and power as the Civil War looms. Sixteen years old and enslaved since she was born, Junie has spent her life on Bellereine Plantation in Alabama, cooking and cleaning alongside her family, and tending to the white master’s daughter, Violet. Her daydreams are filled with poetry and faraway worlds, while she spends her nights secretly roaming through the forest, consumed with grief over the sudden death of her older sister, Minnie. When wealthy guests arrive from New Orleans, hinting at marriage for Violet and upending Junie’s life, she commits a desperate act—one that rouses Minnie’s spirit from the grave, tethered to this world unless Junie can free her. She enlists the aid of Caleb, the guests’ coachman, and their friendship soon becomes something more. Yet as long-held truths begin to crumble, she realizes Bellereine is harboring dark and horrifying secrets that can no longer be ignored. With time ticking down, Junie begins to push against the harsh current that has controlled her entire life. As she grapples with an increasingly unfamiliar world in which she has little control, she is forced to ask herself: When we choose love and liberation, what must we leave behind?

The latest thrilling entry in the bestselling Under Suspicion series by
Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke.
Ten years have passed since Jack and Ivy, elite operatives for the secret agency Talon, rescued their friend Philip and completed their fateful mission. The 1920s are in full swing as American speakeasies thrive amid Prohibition, and despite the team’s best efforts, the deadly cult, the Order of the Rising Moon, lives on in the shadows. Which is no surprise to Ivy; nothing has gone as she expected since that day after Poenari Castle. When a wave of assassinations strikes world leaders, intel confirms the Order’s involvement. Ivy holds them responsible for the tragedy that changed her life, and she is determined to find and destroy the villains once and for all—but she must do so before their relentless assassin eliminates his next target. Her. Except, there’s something oddly familiar about the way he moves, the way he anticipates each of her moves. It’s as if he knows her. But that’s not possible. Is it? Ivy will have to rely on every skill she’s learned if she hopes to survive—and save those she loves. No matter the cost. Bestselling author J’nell Ciesielski wraps up the Jack and Ivy novels with yet another thrilling adventure filled with glamorous espionage and a boundless romance.
The coffin arrived by train. It was labelled urgent and addressed to the 'Deerham Hills Hospital: Pathology Department', although nobody at the hospital seemed to be expecting it. So it waited.

And there had already been quite a spate of them that summer . . .
Ek sal elke dag 'n poliesman skiet, tot julle die moordenaar van Hanneke Sloet aankla. So lui die dreigbrief aan die SAPS. En dan begin die jagtog. Bennie Griessel is die een wat die dossier moet heropen. Die saak is 40 dae oud, die spoor is koud. Daar's geen motief nie, geen leidrade nie, net 'n reeks naakfoto's, 'n hoogs ingewikkelde saketransaksie, en onmenslike druk van topbestuur, die media en die meedoenlose, onpeilbare sluipskutter. En deur dit alles moet Griessel sy nuwe vriendin, die sangeres Alexa Barnard, weghou van die bottel voor haar groot terugkeer-konsert, sy seun keer om nie skandes te maak nie, sy kollegas weerhou daarvan om die ondersoek te kelder, en sy eie, verterende lus vir die helende kragte van drank in toom probeer hou. Sewe dae van hel.
Vir Stefan is die oorgang van seksuele dier tot voorbeeldige pa 'n naatlose een. Dis soos verskillende kamers in jou kop, se hy vir homself, wat niks met mekaar te doen het nie, waar jy kan ingaan en uitkom nes jy wil, die deure agter jou toemaak. Aan die manier van dink en handel is daar vir hom niks onsedelik of selfs ongemaklik nie; dit is hoe jy oorleef in 'n wereld wat byna om elke hoek teen homself draai. Trouens, hy is trots op sy vermoe om 'n verkleurmannetjie te wees. Nee, nie 'n verkleurmannetjie nie, eerder 'n man van vele fasette, a man for all seasons – dit verg immers 'n sekere intelligensie. Sonde van Lusinda is die verhaal van Stefan, 'n 43-jarige prokureur en eskeide pa van 'n tienerdogter, wat by 'n braai verlief raak op 'n 20-jarige model sonder matriek. "Age is just a number!" verseker sy hom. Sal hy die “blonde bom" kan weerstaan? Wat sou die impak van so 'n onmoontlike verhouding wees op sy familie, sy vriendekring en sy werk? Is dit hoe 'n midlife crisis lyk?
