    Reed Montgomery would give anything to stop killing. 
     
     
     
    A series of bad choices have led him into a life as an indentured assassin, where his bosses call the shots and he takes them—or else. Only the promise of eventual emancipation keeps him going, but in the criminal underworld, nothing is cheap. 
     
     
     
    With one last kill standing between himself and freedom, Reed becomes involved with Banks, a young singer in the city. There's only one thing more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose . . . a man with everything to lose. 
     
     
     
    Reed Montgomery is the criminal underworld's best killer. They pick the target. He picks the method. Then the job gets done—always. 
     
     
     
    Until he meets Banks, a beautiful singer from a local bar, and the goddaughter of his next target. Suddenly, nothing is simple. Completing the kill will cost him everything with her, but Reed's bosses aren't interested in love, and they don't tolerate failure. 
     
     
     
    The ultimatum is simple: Execute the target, or you become the target. Reed is thinking of a third option. An option where they wish they'd never been born. They should have let him walk while they had the chance.

    🧵 Quilt shop owner and master quilter Penny Patchwork is preparing for the annual Quilt Show when the town's most competitive quilter is found dead in her shop—wrapped in a mysterious quilt that doesn't match any known pattern. The police suspect natural causes, but Penny recognizes the quilt as a rare "code quilt" used by the Underground Railroad and notices the stitching contains a hidden message. With her shop under suspicion and the quilting community in turmoil, Penny must piece together an investigation as complex as a double wedding ring pattern. Assisted by her quilting bee friends and the handsome textile historian researching local quilt codes, Penny uncovers a scheme involving stolen antique quilts, fabric forgery, and a secret quilt appraisal scam. From suspicious thread choices that reveal modern tampering to block patterns that form a treasure map, every stitch tells a story. But when Penny discovers the victim was blackmailing fellow quilters about their family secrets hidden in heirloom quilts, she realizes the killer is protecting a legacy more valuable than any antique textile. With the quilt show just days away and the real culprit still stitching deception, Penny must unravel this patchwork of lies before her own pattern is permanently cut short.
