Secrets of the Deadly...

Heather G. Harris, Ella Stone

Witchlight Cove: where the coffee’s strong, the magic is unpredictable and the bodies keep piling up.
Witchlight Cove was meant to be a fresh start. Instead, I’ve stumbled upon a long-lost grandfather and discovered that my best friend has been keeping a huge secret. As if that weren’t enough, the Eternal Flame – the town’s most important magical artefact and the very one I’m supposed to be guarding – has vanished.
And now a body has turned up, complete with vampire bite marks.
I’d love to say I’ve got everything under control, but I’m barely keeping my life together. My magic is wonky at best, my retriever is more sensible than I am, and Fraser Banks, the town’s dangerously attractive selkie, keeps showing up at the worst possible moments. He seems determined to save me, which is completely unnecessary because I do not need a saviour. Even if having one might be nice.
Meanwhile, a secret guild of assassins, a coven of questionable witches and a murder suspect who might actually be innocent are all vying for my attention.
The deeper I dig, the more I realise this town’s secrets weren’t meant to be uncovered.
Perfect for fans of strong heroines, lovable animal sidekicks, and heart-racing urban fantasy, Secrets of the Forgotten Heir delivers action, charm, and supernatural surprises. With stand-alone mysteries, sharp humour, and a swoon-worthy slow-burn romance spanning the series, it’s an unmissable treat.

He Gets That From Me

Jacqueline Friedland

As a young mother with a toddler and a live-in boyfriend, Maggie Fisher's job at a checkout counter in downtown Phoenix doesn't afford her much financial flexibility. She dreams of going to college and becoming a teacher, options she squandered when she fled her family home as a teenager. When Maggie stumbles onto an ad offering thousands of dollars to women who are willing to gestate other people's babies, she at first finds the concept laughable. Before long, however, she's been seduced by all the ways the extra money could improve her life. Once she decides to go for it, it's only a matter of months before she's chosen as a gestational carrier by Chip and Donovan Rigsdale, a married couple from New York. 
 
 
 
After delivering twin babies and proudly handing them off to the Rigsdales, Maggie finally gets her life on a positive trajectory: she earns her degree, lands a great job, and builds a family of her own. She can't fathom why, ten years after the fact, the fertility clinic is calling to ask for a follow-up DNA test. 
 
 
 
High-energy and immensely readable, He Gets That from Me explores what it really means to be part of a family.
