No Room For Regret

Janeen Ann O'Connell

Sinossi

The movement of the ship seals his fate. He could be sailing anywhere, anytime, but he's not, he's going to the other side of the world. He could be anyone, but he's not, he's the son of a respectable London businessman. His crime? An error of judgement. In England, in 1812, there's no forgiveness. As the ship sails, eighteen-year-old James Tedder's seven-year sentence to Van Diemen's Land begins.
 
Rescuing her eldest son from slave traders in Rio de Janeiro is the most difficult thing Sarah Blay has done in the last two years. Leaving England, her life, her mother, to follow her convict husband James to the other side of the world not knowing if he lives, pales in comparison. 
 
Will lives rebuild? Will love survive?

Ancient Beacon

Harold Anderson, Tom Lyons

It’s been hiding on Earth for millennia… 
…but it was my job to hide it from you. If the American people knew what secrets lay beneath their feet, the U.S. government would have no way of controlling the paranoia that would ensue. 
In Ancient Beacon, the second installment of The Palmdale Files, former agent Harold Anderson reveals the true story behind the discovery of a mysterious, terribly old, and not-of-this world relic found in a subterranean underwater cavern in New Mexico and the exceptional efforts the U.S. government went through to hide it. Ancient Beacon—also known as Event 348 Gamma—is the second in a series of forgotten and buried events the author once destroyed to protect the peace and security of the United States—events the government would rather hide forever. 
The Palmdale Files share highlights from Harold Anderson's U.S. Air Force career, where he worked to defend the nation and the world from paranoid hysteria about unexplained phenomena and threats from above.

Fire in the Mountains

Rachel Wesson

When the railroad comes to town, some fights are worth everything. 
 
Thomas Hayes has spent four years building a life in Shamrock Ridge—a successful blacksmith shop, a respected place in the community, and a promising marriage to mail-order bride Fiona Long. But when railroad developers arrive with generous buyout offers and veiled threats, Thomas's carefully constructed world begins to crumble. 
 
As neighbors turn away and the community fractures under pressure, Thomas considers the one thing he swore he'd never do again: run. But Fiona didn't abandon everything in New York to watch her husband surrender to shame. She's learned what it means to fight for what matters, and she won't let fear win—not in their marriage, and not in their town. 
 
With friends rallying and enemies closing in, Thomas must choose between the safety of surrender and the courage to stand for what's right. Because sometimes the only way to prove you're not a coward is to face the fight that terrifies you most. 
 
A story of love, loyalty, and the price of doing what's right when everything is at stake.
