  Old secrets dragged into the light . . . can turn deadly. 
   
   
   
  Someone wants Niall Kier's secrets exposed—even if they lead to scandal, unrest . . . and murder. 
   
   
   
  Miss Kara Levett has discovered a talent for unearthing secrets and truths, but she's vowed not to turn it on her friend—and more—Mr. Niall Kier. His secrets are his own, until he chooses to share them. 
   
   
   
  Unfortunately, someone else is not so patient. Niall needs to find who is digging so furiously into his past—and why they are so eager to unleash the scandal that could follow. 
   
   
   
  But when a woman is murdered at the lake that Kara has dedicated to her women's club, it is discovered that the victim was connected to a woman from Niall's past—and Kara dives into the enquires. After all, she's made no promises in that direction. 
   
   
   
  It soon becomes clear that the tangle of clues and conspiracies are related, and when their friend is abducted and held for the ransom that can prove Niall's past, they must work together—to save their friend, to protect Niall's secrets . . . and perhaps, even the nation.

  🪡 Needlework shop owner and embroidery expert Tilly Thimble is preparing for the annual Stitchery Showcase when the town's most competitive needlepointer is found dead in her shop—pricked by a poisoned needle protruding from a valuable antique thimble. The police suspect a tragic crafting accident, but Tilly recognizes the thimble as part of a stolen collection and notices the victim's latest needlepoint contains a hidden message in the stitch pattern. With her shop under scrutiny and the stitching community in knots, Tilly must thread together an investigation as delicate as fine embroidery. Assisted by her embroidery circle and the handsome antiques appraiser valuing her thimble collection, Tilly uncovers a scheme involving thimble theft, forged samplers, and a smuggling ring for historic sewing tools. From suspicious needle marks that reveal left-handed stitching to thread fibers that don't match the period, every detail points to a killer with a sharp eye for textiles. But when Tilly discovers the victim was blackmailing fellow stitchers about their family secrets hidden in heirloom samplers, she realizes the killer is protecting a legacy more intricate than any needlepoint. With the showcase just days away and the real culprit still weaving deception, Tilly must unpick this tangled web before her own thread gets permanently snipped.

  Modern-Day Piracy Square off Against the U.S. Navy Under the High SeasIt's 2037. A band of modern-day pirates station-hops across the Indian Ocean in an old Russian submarine bought off the black market. Each attack bolder and more costly than the last, these pirates leave behind a trail of broken bodies, businesses, and stolen submarines at every undersea station they visit—and it’s up to Lieutenant Commander Alex Coleman and attack submarine USS Kansas to stop them.Teaming up with his old college roommate and not-so-gentle giant, marine lieutenant colonel Paul Swanson, Alex sets out on his very own pirate hunt. But these outlaws aren’t in rundown little skiffs that are easy to track and find. They’ve got a genuine warship and the will to turn weapons against innocent civilians and undersea stations, and more importantly, they’re good at stealth.With time running out, Alex convinces his friendly neighborhood U.N. representative to rent a ridiculously expensive civilian submarine with every bell and whistle a rich guy can dream of—and many Alex can't! Cut off from Kansas’ support, he and the marines play bait for the pirates.Alex isn’t used to in-your-face battles. He’s trained to push buttons and fire torpedoes, not for the messy and bloody hand-to-hand stuff. His plan is for Kansas to nab the pirates before anyone can wave a gun near his nerdy face. But plans never survive contact with the enemy, and when the hunters become the hunted, can Alex learn a new type of warfare before it’s too late? 
  Before the Storm is a prequel to the near-future World War III submarine series War of the Submarine.
