    Daniel Aurora thought a jury duty notice would give him a break from the job that had been wearing him down - a healthcare insurance company where denying coverage had become routine, and every decision felt like it could cost someone their life. Instead, he is drafted into The Selected, a new government program that eliminates due process and sends its members into the streets to deliver judgment on the crimes they witness. 
Given authority he never asked for, Daniel is pushed into a role that changes his life overnight. Life-changing money appears without warning. His access opens every door. And he is trained at a level this country has never seen before. The rules are simple, strict, and final. 
As the weight of his new role settles in, Daniel struggles to understand whether he is serving justice or becoming another tool of corruption. Every judgment leaves a mark. Every decision forces him to confront the line between right and wrong. 
He never wanted any of this. But once he steps inside the program, there is no way back - only the truth that he’ll take the power they force into his hands, but he will never belong to them.

    Her voice enchants crowds. Her secrets will expose conspiracies. One mistake could cost her everything. 
  
December 1941: As bombs fall on Pearl Harbor, singer Hattie James faces a personal nightmare when her sister Olivia vanishes. The kidnappers demand an impossible price—her father's classified list of undercover American and Nazi spies. 
  
Wartime paranoia and family loyalty take Hattie to Washington, D.C., with Maya and Commander Leo Bell to hunt an elusive, high-ranking mole in the War Department who is after those lists. Leo, a military intelligence officer with access to classified operations, becomes their crucial inside man, navigating the treacherous corridors of power. Meanwhile in Rio de Janeiro, Hattie’s father Karl slowly recovers from near-fatal wounds under her mother's watchful care as Nazi agents close in on his location. 
  
As war declarations echo across radio waves, these fragile alliances become Hattie's only hope of untangling a conspiracy that threatens both nations. As Hattie inches closer to the truth, she discovers that exposing the traitor might save her sister—or destroy them both. 
  
An enthralling wartime thriller, perfect for fans of Julia Kelly and Kristin Harmel.
