  She’s the head elf with a knack for saving Christmas. He’s the reluctant prince who doesn’t believe he deserves the crown—or her heart. 
  Alva Brightwinter is the North Pole’s fiercest and most accomplished head elf. Dedicated, efficient, and utterly unshakable, she’s spent her life ensuring Christmas runs like a well-oiled sleigh. Falling for a rakish prince? Not on her to-do list. But when magic falters and an ancient evil rises, Alva is forced to team up with Nicholas Claus, the charming, reckless heir to Santa’s mantle. Unfortunately for her, the scoundrel prince is more of a royal pain in her Cinna-bumthan he is royalty—and he’s about to test not only her patience but also her carefully guarded heart. 
  Nicholas Claus has spent years dodging responsibility—and the weight of his father’s expectations. But when the Frost Queen threatens to plunge the North Pole into eternal darkness, the reluctant prince knows it’s time to prove he’s more than the realm’s most eligible bachelor. The only problem? His best hope of saving Christmas rests in working with Alva Brightwinter, the headstrong elf who’s immune to his legendary charm and would rather face a blizzard than his antics. 
  What starts as a reluctant alliance ignites into a fiery connection neither can deny. With the solstice fast approaching and the Frost Queen’s power growing, Nick and Alva must confront their fears, their pasts, and their undeniable bond. Because saving Christmas will take more than sugar plums and candy canes. It will require the ultimate sacrifice, their hearts.

  Former sheriff Jules Clement returns in this new installment of the celebrated mystery series, set once again in the wild, strange, windy town of Blue Deer, Montana, where your neighbors or the tourists can be just as deadly as the weather 
   
   
   
  Jules Clement is back in Blue Deer, working as an archaeologist and private investigator. He's a mostly happy man: he's a new father, and he and his wife Caroline are building their dream house on an idyllic patch of river bottomland. But everything that can go wrong will, in terms of money, love, and murder. The horrible neighbors enlist Jules to spy on each other. The county hires him to find out if a road runs over some misplaced bodies in a long-abandoned potter's field. A former priest with a side hustle in extortion ends up very dead. A crew of Russians in fast cars is running amok through the Montana landscape. All this as an old nemesis returns, pulling Jules back to confront what he's been avoiding his entire life: the death of his father. 
   
   
   
  Published alongside newly reissued editions of the entire series, The River View is further proof that "you haven't been west in any meaningful sense until you've been to Blue Deer" (The New York Times).

  In 1840s St. Petersburg the ageing copyist Makar Dievushkin is, with various degrees of subtlety, trying to woo Barbara Dobroselova, a young woman who has had a swift fall in fortunes. Told in alternating letters to each other, their past stories and current hopes play out in raw and personal detail, as the daily realities of an uncaring and expensive town take hold.
  Poor Folk was Fyodor Dostoevsky's first novel and was written to try and cover his escalating debts from his expensive lifestyle and gambling addiction. Luckily for Dostoevsky, it was an immediate success when it was published in the St. Petersburg Collection, and the accolades from critics such as Belinsky and Herzen propelled him into the high echelons of Russian literary society. This edition is the 1915 translation by C. J. Hogarth.
