The Wrong'un

Catherine Evans

Sinossi

Meet the Newells, a big family of good lookers and hard grafters.
From their sleepy working class backwater, the siblings break into Oxford academia, London's high life, the glossy world of magazine publishing and the stratospheric riches of New York's hedge funds.
Then there's Paddy, the wrong'un in their midst, who has just been released from prison for dangerous driving.
As things fall apart around his sister Bea, is Paddy behind it all? And why does matriarch Edie turn a blind eye to her son's malevolence? Will she stand by and watch while he wrecks the lives of her other children? Just how much is she willing to sacrifice to protect her son?

Byline Budapest - A Cold War...

Diane Wagner

Behind the Iron Curtain, the Truth Can Kill You. 
Europe, 1956. The Iron Curtain divides the Free West from the Soviet Bloc, and the battle for hearts and minds is waged with words, not bullets. Charlie Atkins, a 23-year-old California farm girl, works at Radio Free Europe in Munich, relaying Western news to millions trapped behind Soviet borders. She longs to report real stories—like her own, marked by the mysterious disappearance of her father, Captain A.J. Atkins, in the last days of World War II. 
Her boss dismisses her: too young, too green, too female. But when the Hungarian people rise against Soviet rule, Charlie sees her chance. Defying orders, she heads straight into the heart of Budapest—unaware that Soviet tanks and troops are already massing to crush the revolution. 
As the city erupts in chaos and the streets run red, Charlie must outwit soldiers, dodge bombs, and chase the truth before she’s silenced forever. Along the way, she uncovers secrets that could change her life—and reveal her father’s fate. 
Gripping, atmospheric, and inspired by true events, Byline Budapest is a riveting Cold War thriller of courage, ambition, and the price of chasing the story of a lifetime.

The Alvarez Girls - A Military...

J.E. Ortega

They Took Her Sister. Now Sheʼs Taking Justice Into Her Own Hands. 
When photographer Yaneriz Alvarez senses somethingʼs off, she listens—not to logic, but to the aching thread thatʼs always tethered her to her twin. Amaya, a soldier stationed at Fort Hood, has gone silent. The Army says sheʼs on leave. Her apartment says otherwise. And the voice of their dead grandmother whispering in Yanerizʼs ear wonʼt let her ignore the truth: something terrible has happened. 
What starts as a sisterʼs search unravels into a chilling web of military coverups, misogyny, and systemic silence. But Yaneriz didnʼt come this far to be quiet. With nothing but her instincts, a camera, and the ghost of the woman who raised them both, sheʼll claw her way through the lies—even if it means becoming the monster they tried to make her out to be. 
THE ALVAREZ GIRLS is a heart-wrenching novella that fuses psychological suspense, sisterhood, and social commentary into a devastating punch. Perfect for fans of The Silent Corner by Dean Koontz and Verity by Colleen Hoover—with a Dominican twist.
