  A summer house party in the countryside takes a deadly turn after the abduction of a viscountess. 
   
   
   
  After the shocking events of the spring, Audrey Sinclair and Hugh Marsden are adjusting to their new lives when an apparent highway robbery ends in the violent abduction of Audrey's sister. 
   
   
   
  As callous as Millie has been in the past, Audrey can't turn her back on family. She'll do whatever it takes to find her sister, even if it means working with the man she's been avoiding for months: former Bow Street officer Hugh Marsden. 
   
   
   
  Unsettled with his new role in society, and being deemed one of London's most eligible bachelors, Hugh is happy to fall back on his Bow Street skills to track down Lady Redding—and to see Audrey again. But the viscountess's disappearance is only half of the puzzle. A long-lost ring worth a fortune could be the driving force behind the deadly events, and as Audrey and Hugh unravel the truth—along with the secrets and complications surrounding their future—a killer closes in on the house party . . . and selects a new victim.

  "An absorbing, thought-provoking, emotionally engaging, and deftly scripted multi-generational historical novel."–Midwest Book Review 
  "Bend, Don't Break is a powerful, evocative novel that honors the resilience of Black women throughout history...Brown has crafted a novel that does not just recount history—it breathes life into it, making it feel immediate, urgent, and deeply personal."—Seattle Book Review 
  Timely and unforgettable, Bend, Don't Break spans two centuries of American history and is a captivating testament to women's ambition and the unbreakable bond between Black mothers and their daughters. 
  Drawing strength from their ancestor, Aisha, a slave born free on the west coast of Africa, four Black women will do whatever is necessary to succeed—and will do even more to protect their daughters. Aisha's granddaughter, Dinah, a plantation slave, fends off the advances of the master's son and vows to prevent the same mistreatment of her daughter, Sarah. During the Harlem Renaissance, Augusta, an aspiring teacher, falls in love for the first time. Her mother, Julia, is determined to prevent her from getting hurt. Attorney Olivia and her news producer daughter, Nicole, both seek success and equality in the white man's world of 1980s corporate life. And in the present day, Sha, a tech company chief information officer, turns amateur detective after her daughter's assault. 
  Throughout the generations, these women encounter similar challenges but face them in different ways and survive and thrive through all of it, because they bend but do not break. They demonstrate that although generational trauma can be passed down like an inheritance, so, too, can healing and resilience.

  What The Moon Brings

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
  There are Lovecraft stories that roar with cosmic terror — ancient gods, unknowable entities, the madness of knowledge. And then there is What the Moon Brings. This short, haunting piece is not a tale in the traditional sense, but a dream — or rather, a descent. It belongs to that strange and shadowy corner of Lovecraft’s imagination where logic erodes, and we are left adrift in a realm shaped by mood, moonlight, and the whisper of things not quite seen. First published in 1923, What the Moon Brings reads like a surreal reverie drenched in symbolism. It’s soaked in decay, beauty, and death — and it ends not with a revelation, but with an abyss. It offers no monsters, no names, no answers. Only images… and dread. This is Lovecraft at his most dreamlike, a foreshadowing of the rich, inward landscapes he would explore more fully in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath and Ex Oblivione. It is a story that does not explain itself — it feels itself through you. Read it not for plot, but for atmosphere. Let it soak into your skin like moonlight on black water. Let it show you what the moon brings — when the dreamer can no longer wake.

  The White House claims credit for capturing the Black Widow and gives SHIELD an ultimatum, which has Aja questioning whose side the President is on. 
  Aja and her SHIELD colleagues successfully captured the Black Widow and her associates on their last mission. However, the White House has forbidden them, along with the CIA and FBI, from any further involvement in investigating, identifying, or prosecuting the multitude of high-speed rail service customers who exploited underage children. 
  The message was loud and clear. Find a new case or SHIELD will be decommissioned and its agents considered as traitors, charged with treason, and imprisoned. So what choice did they have? As SHIELD leadership works to identify their next case, Aja is not feeling as cooperative. But the moment she delves a little too deeply into why the White House is against their involvement, she mysteriously disappears. 
  Has Aja gone rogue and fled to protect her colleagues? Or has the White House caught wind of her actions and locked her away? Or, as the Black Widow predicted, has the President made her disappear in a more permanent manner? 
  Aja Minor: Dirty Politics is the eighth book in the Aja Minor psychic crime thrillers series. Fans of fierce female protagonists with unique powers who overcome adversity will find a home in this series. 
  A portion of the proceeds from this series are donated to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, established in 1984 to help find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation, and prevent child victimization.
