Sinossi

2024 Selah Award Winner, 2024 Christy Award Winner, and Carol Award Finalist 
 
For the first time in his life, Pete has everything to lose. 
 
After years of drifting, fifty-year-old Pete Ryman has settled down with his potbellied pig, Pearl, in the small Montana town of Sleeping Grass--a place he never expected to see again. It's not the life he dreamed of, but there aren't many prospects for a high-school dropout like him. 
 
Elderly widow Wilma Jacobsen carries a burden of guilt over her part in events that led to Pete leaving Sleeping Grass decades ago. Now that he's back, she's been praying for the chance to make things right, but she never expected God's answer to leave her flat on her face--literally--and up to her ears in meddling. 
 
When the younger sister Pete was separated from as a child shows up in Sleeping Grass with her eleven-year-old son, Pete is forced to face a past he buried long ago, and Wilma discovers her long-awaited chance at redemption may come at a higher cost than she's willing to pay. 
 
"Katie Powner brings both humor and heft to the page as she celebrates simple pleasures and not-so-simple love."--JULIE CANTRELL, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Perennials

The Accidental Conspiracy - Book...

E.M. Thomben

Some secrets were buried for a reason. Charlie Hudson just dug them up. 
Charlie isn’t a hero. He’s not a genius, a spy, or the guy who saves the day. He’s just an ordinary investigator sent to check out a classified site beneath the Antarctic ice. The mission? Simple. Look for anomalies. Report back. Don’t ask questions. 
Too bad he asks a lot of questions. 
When Charlie and his team uncover a lost civilization hidden for thousands of years, history itself starts to unravel. The past is changing. The sky is cracking. And something out there already knows his name. 
Now, Charlie is on the run from shadow organizations, ancient beings, and a reality that’s breaking apart at the seams. Armed with nothing but his wit, a team of misfits, and a very loose grip on physics, he must solve the mystery before history is erased forever.

Getting You There - A Short...

Juliette Lovelace

They say that sometimes it’s more about the journey than the destination—but when it comes to sex, the destinationdefinitely matters. Trapped in a relationship with a boyfriend who is as selfish in the bedroom as he is outside of it, our narrator finds herself never actually getting there—a frustrating reality she has, to some extent, resigned herself to. That is, until she meets Michael. 
A successful artist who chooses to drive cabs for the company he owns “to see the city and meet interesting people,” Michael’s dark Mediterranean eyes and sculpted, athletic physique are everything the narrator dreams of and desires. The spark between them is immediate, and the taxi rides they share crackle with a kind of electric tension that leaves her both nervous and exhilarated. 
As their text exchanges shift from friendly to flirtatious and then unmistakably spicy, she feels the guilt of crossing a line—but also the thrill. Even before they touch, she knows Michael is both willing and capable of getting her exactly where she needs to go. 
Getting You There is an erotic tale of insatiable lust, simmering tension, and undeniable desire.

Murder Checks Out - A Blue Ridge...

Victoria Gilbert

It's not all snowflakes and sugarplums when murder crashes Taylorsford's first Winterfest in the eighth installment of the Blue Ridge Library series, perfect for fans of Jenn McKinlay and Ellery Adams. 
 
 
 
Returning to her role as an amateur detective is the last thing library director Amy Muir wants. She's already buried under an avalanche of responsibilities, including sharing the directorship of the local public library, parenting her holiday-obsessed five-year-old twins, and helping her choreographer husband, Richard, present The Nutcracker as part of the town's festivities. With her frosty mother-in-law, Fiona, visiting for the holidays, Amy definitely has enough on her Christmas cookie plate. 
 
 
 
But when the chair of the festival committee is found as dead as Dickens's proverbial doornail at the town's ice rink, Amy is determined to uncover the real perpetrator to protect her brother-in-law, Ethan Payne, who was placed at the scene. The clock is ticking down as Sheriff Brad Tucker is equally sure that Ethan is guilty. 
 
 
 
It's beginning to look a lot like the murderer hasn't wrapped up his killing spree, and now, it might just be "lights out" on the holiday festivities—and on Amy's life.
