The Fixer Upper - The TOP TEN...

Phoebe MacLeod

'I absolutely loved this book!' Maxine Morrey  
Finding a man is like buying a house: sometimes you have to look beyond the exterior to see the potential underneath. 
As an estate agent, Alex’s job is to create happy-ever-afters. It’s just a shame she can’t work the same magic on her own life. Her long-term boyfriend Thomas still lives with his mother, and her hopes of them taking the next step are dashed when he announces he’s spending all his savings (savings she’d quite hoped he’d want to put towards their future home) on an ‘artist retreat’ in San Francisco. 
With Thomas thousands of miles away, getting a little too friendly with his fellow artistes, Alex strikes up a friendship with her new neighbour, Callum. Taciturn, grumpy and nerdy, Callum couldn’t be more different to Alex’s bubbly personality.... So why is he the one she wakes up wanting to talk to? 
As they get to know each other, Alex starts to wonder if the answer to all her problems might be closer to home than she thinks… 
The hilarious bestselling rom com from the bestselling author of An Un Romantic Comedy, perfect for fans of Sophie Ranald and Sophie Kinsella.

The Grace of God - An Orson...

William Staub

Orson Kincaid is a battle-hardened sniper for US Army Special Operations Command. During a demanding overseas assignment, his team gets compromised and overwhelmed. Wounded and on his own, Kincaid flees to a nearby village where two Mormon missionaries agree to hide him in their apartment while the enemy desperately searches for him. While hiding out, he learns more about the missionaries' faith, and his religious prejudices soon soften his heart toward Christianity in general and specifically toward the Mormon religion. Seeking a lifestyle change, Kincaid leaves the military, joins the LDS church, and gets hired by Church Security in Salt Lake City, hoping for a new and quiet career. Before long, a
domestic terrorist group identifies the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a soft or easy target and develops plans to attack a temple of the LDS church and kill several highly placed church leaders. Kincaid discovers he alone has the counter-terrorism experience necessary to protect his new religion. Determined to thwart the terrorist plans, he is forced to muster skills to stop them, which he wanted to leave behind. Is it a coincidence that Kincaid is there at this time? Or is it the grace of God that has placed him there now to stop this threat to the church? After retiring 10 yrs. later, Kincaid is employed with the Mormon Church Security and is the only employee who has any experience dealing with terrorists. Before long, a warning is issued that a domestic terrorist group within Salt Lake City, Utah, desperately wants to be recognized as a threat to the world terrorist groups. They believe the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would make an excellent beginning to their reputation. They start developing plans to attack a temple of the LDS church and kill as many of its leaders as possible. Determined to keep them from destroying the embodiment of his new faith, he musters all of his past experience to stop the terrorists.
