    Autistic, divorced, and chronically ill Maggie Livingston just wants a 5-star review for her new Bed and Breakfast that will save her family’s beautiful Victorian home, but her murdered guests and a plague of unexplained accidents keep getting in the way. It doesn’t help that Maggie’s guests for a high-stakes week of wedding festivities are her old high-school nemeses and there’s a sweltering heat wave gripping their touristy mountain town. Or that she still has feelings for her ex-girlfriend Alice, the local game warden who is currently dating one of the wedding party. 
    To make matters worse, the morning the wedding guests arrive, Maggie’s first guest inconveniently dies upstairs while the hotel inspector conducts his final tour. Maggie and her best friends Mia and Sutton stash the body, but the mystery remains, and chaotic mishaps abound. In the wake of food poisoning, a collapsing dock, rogue alligator, and a swarm of bees flying out of a disco ball at the roller-rink, it will be a miracle if Maggie can keep it together until her big payday at the end of the week, pay her mortgage, and save her guests from a murderer.

    ‘Absorbing, unsettling, unflinching. I’ve been thinking about it for days and I’ll be recommending it to everyone.’ Caz Frear, author of Sweet Little Lies 
    Someone is watching Etta. Footsteps in the night, the security light coming on at strange hours … is it all just her curtain-twitching neighbours, who seem to monitor her every move? Or is her little online problem making her paranoid? 
    Because Etta needs to win big. She joined a gambling website to get a bit of cash, hoping to convince her boyfriend Ola that they can afford to get married. And she was so good at it … until she wasn’t. Luckily, she’s made a friend who hit the jackpot and if she plays her cards right, he could lend her the money to win everything back. Easy. So why does she feel so afraid? 
    Etta's life is a psychological thriller, a high-stakes game of domestic politics where marriage and divorce are just cards to be played. Her desperate need to win back her losses and prove herself to Ola adds a layer of tension that makes Lucky a top fiction pick.

    Grey Dragons—Red Ascendant is the first book in a military fiction series perfect for fans of Tom Clancy, Dan Brown, W.E.B. Griffin, Rick Campbell and Miranda Watson. 
    The world wakes to the brink of war as a mushroom cloud rises over the devastated Japanese port of Monbetsu. 
    An economic partnership between Japan and Russia dissolves into chaos with a punitive Russian sneak attack on the home islands. The timing is perfect—for the Russians. Rising public hostility has forced Americans to shutter their bases in Japan, putting the Mutual Defense Treaty at risk. 
    Admiral Robert Bondurant, Commander of the US Seventh Fleet, now based in Guam, scrambles to generate a measured response to the Russian aggression when he learns his wife and daughters have vanished from their Yokosuka family residence during the chaos of the Russian attack. His counterpart, Russian Admiral Aleksandr Vostrotin, Commander of the Eastern Military District, finds himself fighting this conflict across multiple fronts, not the least of them the warmongering factions in Moscow who forced the attack on the flimsiest of prevarications. 
    The last thing he needs is American involvement. Surprising both opponent and ally, the Japanese invade the Russian-held Kuril islands and begin destroying Russian military satellites, effectively escalating the conflict across air, land, sea and for the first time in history—into space.
