Out Of Turns

Carter Kris

Summary

OUT OF TURNS is a gritty, fast-paced thriller about two fugitives of fate—Frank Moretti, a semi-retired hitman with a fractured moral compass, and Lana Cruz, a fire-forged newcomer with a legacy soaked in blood. When a routine job for the Family goes violently sideways, the two are forced into an uneasy alliance, bound by betrayal, buried secrets, and unfinished vengeance.
 
As old enemies resurface and the criminal underworld eats itself from within, Frank must reckon with the sins of his past—including the truth about Lana’s father—while Lana must decide whether to trust the man who destroyed her family… or become the kind of monster she swore to kill.
 
Taut, relentless, and layered with twists, Out of Turns is a story of survival, reckoning, and the cost of loyalty when the rules no longer matter.

Sour Crime Donuts - A Deputy...

Ginger Bolton

With Emily Westhill's popular Deputy Donut Café rolling out seasonal summer treats, everyone in Fallingbrook, Wisconsin, wants a taste. But when a limited batch box turns up near a dead body, Emily and her curious tabby are pitted against the worst kind of customer—a cold–blooded murderer! 
Emily feels like a protective big sister around bubbly twenty-something Izzy—a new regular whose enthusiasm for peaches and cream donuts is surpassed only by her dream to start her own business. As if blown in by an August breeze, Izzy pulls Emily into her plan to buy a property at the edge of town to grow and sell fresh produce. But she's not the only fan of Deputy Donut's peachy delights . . . or the only patron vying to own the lush parcel of land. And the competition is fiercer than the two women imagined . . . 
Petty squabbles turn deadly when a developer with a mean streak is found murdered on the vacant stretch of land. Worse, Emily's signature donuts are spotted nearby, leading to several potential suspects who could have left their sugar–frosted fingerprints all over the crime scene—including the mayor, a handsome out-of-towner, and even sweet–to–the–core Izzy. When her detective husband discovers poisonous ingredients in the discarded desserts, a shocked Emily must reveal holes in a collection of very fuzzy facts and nab the killer before someone else takes their last bite . . .

The Girl from the Grand Hotel -...

Camille Aubray

The #1 bestselling author of Cooking for Picasso and The Godmothers returns with The Girl from the Grand Hotel, a dazzling historical novel that brings readers into the glamorous world of the first (and doomed) Cannes Film Festival and the deadly atmosphere of Europe on the brink of war.
Summer 1939. The glittering Côte d’Azur is having a particularly brilliant season, as the world’s wealthiest vacationers collide with Hollywood’s illustrious movie stars for the first-ever film festival on the French Riviera.
Into this hothouse playground comes an American named Annabel Faucon. Having left a dead-end job and a broken heart back in New York, she’s escaped to a summer stint at the fabulous Grand Hotel, where her uncle is the manager. But when a major movie studio brings its flock of stars to stay at the hotel, Annabel is handpicked to “keep an eye on” two of the mysterious arrivals: a screenwriter who’s been “in his cups” and a renegade actor who keeps luring the studio’s female star into his independent productions.
The arrival of Nazi guests only intensifies the situation. Suddenly everyone is watching everybody else during this feverish last summer before the outbreak of World War II. Faced with international spies who will stop at nothing to get what they want, Annabel finds herself embroiled in murder, intrigue, and a race against the clock to disrupt a secret Nazi communications system.
Inspired by true events and the histories of three great hotels on the Côte d’Azur—with appearances by such real-life luminaries as Marlene Dietrich, F. Scott Fitzgerald, James Cagney, and Mae West—The Girl from the Grand Hotel is a brilliant page-turner that is not to be missed.
