  Public Relations expert Emery Bates has exactly one problem she's willing to admit, and it's that she doesn't have a girlfriend to take as her date to a wedding. Not because she needs a girlfriend, but because she needs an easier way to come out to college friends that she hasn't seen in five years. Her job is about controlling the narrative, and as she sees it, there's no reason why that can't extend to her personal life. When her next door neighbor ends up single a few weeks before the wedding, problem solver Emery realizes inviting Jordan along and faking romance for a week in Hawaii could be perfect for both of them. 
   
   
   
  Jordan Davis doesn't worry about much, especially what will happen tomorrow. Life's too short to plan every second, and it usually doesn't work out anyway. When Emery invites her on an all-expenses paid trip to Hawaii, it's not a hard sell. She'll get to enjoy a tropical vacation with one of her closest friends, and she'll get to spend more time with Emery, away from Emery's hectic work schedule back in Austin. But, there's more to the request than Emery's letting on, and there's more to Jordan's willingness to help than she wants to admit. Faking it is all about the spin, but when lines begin to blur, both women have to decide if falling in love for real is worth the jump.

  A novel based on the true story of Australian jockey Bill Smith – a life lived in secret. 
  For most of his 76 years, Bill Smith preferred solitude over socialising, horses over people and confidentiality over confidantes. As a jockey, he was known for always turning up already fully kitted out in his silks. But now, in his advancing years, a fall lands him in full-time care and it becomes impossible to maintain his privacy. Nurse Maureen Bannon resents having to look after ‘the geries’, especially grumpy old buggers like Mr Smith, but when she discovers Bill’s secret an unlikely alliance is formed. Bill was assigned female at birth, a fact that shaped his life but never limited his ambition. With Mr Smith’s health declining and time running out, Maureen wants to find someone who knows and loves him, but only one name seems to mean anything to Bill – Catherine, his first love. Can Maureen find out more to help Bill find peace? 
  Mr Smith to You is a beautiful and tender novel about identity and a powerful testament to kindness and the human spirit.

  Special Agent Angus Green is still in his twenties, and his red hair and good looks often make people underestimate him, but he's a smart, fearless cop who believes in the FBI motto: Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity. 
  Fort Lauderdale retiree Frank Sena is working with pawn shop owner Jesse Venable to retrieve a painting stolen from Frank's uncle, a gay Venetian killed during the Holocaust. Angus volunteers to help Frank, and discovers Venable is the subject of a task force looking into smuggling immigrants out of war-torn countries in the Middle East. 
  Angus, who knows nothing about art and speaks no Italian, may be in over his head as he is assigned to befriend, and ultimately betray, Venable. But with the help of his Italian-speaking brother and his art-loving boyfriend, he may be able not only to retrieve the painting, but solve a smuggling case and potentially save thousands of lives. 
  The investigation will take him from the sun-drenched rooftops of Venice to a private yacht speeding down Fort Lauderdale's New River. Along the way, he'll learn the true meaning of survival. 
  "Fast-paced, fun and as fresh as a South Florida ocean breeze." – PJ Parrish, New York Times bestselling author on The Next One Will Kill You.

  Despite the angry scars she carries from her childhood training, Zoe Lorel has reached a good place in her life. She has her dream job as an elite operative in an international spy agency and found her true love. Her world is mostly perfect—until she is sent to abduct a nine-year-old girl. The girl is the only one who knows the riddle that holds the code to unleash the most lethal weapon on earth—the first ever "invisibility" nanoweapon, a cloaking spider bot. 
   
   
   
  Zoe's agency is not the only one after the child. China developed the cloaking bot and will stop at nothing to keep its code secret. While China rapidly hones in on Zoe, her threats grow. Enemies in Austria and Bulgaria reveal the invisibility weapon's existence to underground arms dealers—now every government and terrorist organization in the world want the nanobot. 
   
   
   
  From Malta to the Italian Alps to England, Zoe races to save not only the child she has grown to care about, but also herself. Her drug addiction is threatening her engagement to the one person who brings her happiness, yet she needs the agency prescribed pills. They transform her into the icy killer she must be to survive. Can she still be ruthless without the chemicals that suppress her emotions?
