  Charlie Hunter does not like Christmas, especially the lead into it -- cooking endless servings of Christmas dinner. So when she is asked by Graeme Strickland, Michelin-starred chef, egomaniac and friend, to help out in a hotel restaurant in Edinburgh’s New Town, for a fortnight, she accepts with alacrity. The Head Chef, David Jenkins, is a very old friend of Strickland’s, and the job entails covering temporarily for a sous chef position, while Strickland provides cover for Charlie, gratis, in the Old Forge Café. 
   
  She is scheduled to be there for a fortnight. But Charlie arrives in Edinburgh just in time to discover David Jenkins being stretchered out. An autopsy reveals the Chef has been poisoned with mushrooms. Was it an accident or a murder attempt? It looks like Charlie may be doing a rather different job…

  Christmas magic can happen… 
  Starr Snowden refuses to stay in her upstate New York hometown for Christmas where her ex-boyfriend and his new wife have recently announced she’s pregnant. Noah Jordan doesn’t want to spend another Boston Christmas with his mother coaxing him to marry Cynthia Withers, a woman he definitely doesn’t want for a wife.

  Aboard the ship, Starr and Noah meet and quickly become friends. When Noah‘s mother, brother and family, including his four-year-old nephews, surprise him by appearing on the cruise, Noah has no escape from his family’s plan for him but to ask Starr to fake being his girlfriend.

  "I do not anticipate for one moment that Miss Plum has been murdered, though I should have some slight sympathy with her assassin if she had." 
   
   
   
  Miss Penny is a middle-aged spinster living a cheerful, contented life, complete with perfect housekeeper, in an idyllic English village. Her romantic life consists of an annual Christmas card from her old flame George, and her social swirl involves Stanley, a prissy neighbor who keeps her in mind for a future wife, and Hubert, a neurotic widowed priest with an alienated son.  
   
   
   
  Into this stable life comes Miss Plum, whom Miss Penny saves from drowning herself in a duck pond and takes into her quiet, orderly home. The villagers embrace the perpetually weepy, forlorn young woman—at first. But soon her welcome wears thin. With joyfully dark comedy, hilariously odd locals, and an unexpected reappearance from long-lost George, Dorothy Evelyn Smith brilliantly evokes the havoc wreaked by social niceties, misplaced sympathies, and keeping up appearances—not to mention the urge to defend one's peaceful existence!

  In When East Met West, W.C. Tuttle brings his signature blend of wit and Western action to the story of a polished Easterner who finds himself out of his element in the rugged frontier. When city manners collide with cowboy code, sparks—and laughter—fly. What starts as a culture clash becomes an unlikely alliance as both men confront local trouble, outlaws, and misunderstandings that can only be solved with grit, charm, and a whole lot of humor. 
   With Tuttle’s trademark storytelling and a keen eye for comic timing, this Western is both a tribute to and a light-hearted twist on the genre.

  Years after fleeing San Francisco and getting sober, Jhanvi has made a life for herself working at a grocery co-op and saving for her surgeries. But when her friend (and sometimes more) Henry mentions that he and his techie festival-goer friends spent $100,000 to transform a warehouse basement into a sex dungeon, Jhanvi starts wondering if there's a way to exploit these gullible idiots. She returns to San Francisco, hatching a plan to marry Henry for his company's generous healthcare benefits. 
   
   
   
  Jhanvi enters a world of beautiful, decadent fire eaters and their lavish sex parties. But as her pretensions to cynicism and control start to fade, she develops a Gatsbyesque attraction to these happy young people and their bold claims of unconditional love. But do any of her privileged new friends really like or accept her? Her financial needs expose the limits of a community built on limitless self-expression, and soon she has to choose between doing what's right, and doing what's right for her. 
   
   
   
  This darkly funny novel skewers privileged leftist millennial tech culture, and asks whether "found family" is just another of the twenty-first-century's broken promises.
