  She was born on the streets; he was born to rule…Idella goes by one name only in the glamourous world of music. Her sultry voice mesmerizes millions, her albums have gone platinum, and her elusiveness is legendary. It is her other name, a code name that only a few people know, that drives her though—Dallas. She’s an assassin employed to eliminate some of the worst criminals in the world. Sheikh Tarek Saif-Ad-Din understands that power and money can corrupt. It is his job to ensure the safety of his people, his country, and his royal family. After an attack leaves him near death, he swears he hears the voice of an ‘amirat khurafiat alsahra’—a desert fairy princess. Helping a wounded prince was not part of the plan. Her mission was to eliminate the men trying to overthrow the royal family of Jawahir and prevent them from gaining control of the largest production of microchips in the world. The death of the two princes would be considered collateral damage in the larger picture. Yet—she can’t leave him. In a dangerous dance between two identities, Idella must decide if she can trust Tarek enough to reveal who she really is—a singer, an assassin, and the woman who loves him. If she can’t, this mission may be final in more ways than one.

  Would you forgive your son's kidnapper? 
  Lauren Kaine has everything she ever wanted — a fabulous home, a shiny Lexus, a bright sixteen-year-old son, and a loving husband with a lucrative internet career. Tonight, she walks hand-in-hand with William beneath the lustrous Seattle sky, celebrating twenty-two years of marriage. 
  But they’re not alone. 
  A mysterious black Audi comes out of nowhere and chases William onto a bridge. He shouts, “They’re here for the card,” and falls to his death. Enraged, Lauren attacks the car, but the tinted windows hide the driver’s face, and it speeds away. 
  Still mourning, she sets out to find her husband’s killer when a stranger calls and demands the card. William never mentioned a card, and she doesn’t know where it is. The stranger follows her. He torments her. He threatens to kidnap her son and throw him into the same river that killed William. 
  And it’s not just the stranger. 
  Black cars lurk around every corner. William’s co-workers refuse to talk to her. Her brother-in-law resurfaces after years of silence, and he knows something, but she’s running out of time. She searches for the card, and the past pulls her back to the first time someone kidnapped her son. Back to her resentment. Back to the truth. 
  You’re only as sick as your secrets . . .

  Take in the wild beauty of Santa Catalina Island with tour guide and eclectic gift shop owner Whitney Dagner. On the itinerary: dramatic Pacific coastlines, diverse marine life, and murder! 
   
   
   
  Since returning home from mainland California and finding her groove with the family tourism business, Whitney Dagner's daily routine has become a wonderfully chaotic adventure. She and her nimble kitty, Whiskers, often find themselves at the center of the action on Catalina, from staged treasure hunts to gossipy birdwatchers. But before Whit can get too comfortable in the place where she grew up, a gift shop order leads to a stunning discovery—someone's dead body . . . 
   
   
    
  One of Whit's best boat tour clients, Leo Franklin was young and newly engaged when he unceremoniously took his own life. Only it doesn't seem like that's what really happened—not after the suspicious activity displayed by his family's old rivals at the scene of his death. As a bitter, generations-long feud between Leo's kin and the local Ahern clan comes to a head, Whit and her police diver not-so-ex-boyfriend must lead a dangerous investigation into years of scandal and bad blood to figure out who's innocent . . . and who's covering a killer's tracks.

  An unscrupulous realtor pays the ultimate closing costs in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Peg Cochran! 
   
   
   
  Autumn is settling in on Cranberry Cove, but things are starting to heat up when Monica's stepmother shows up at her back door gripped by panic. Gasping out an explanation, she tells Monica she'd been dozing in her realtor's car when he was shot dead. Refusing to alert the police for fear that the killer will target her next—or that the police will consider her their prime suspect—Monica's stepmother goes mute, and Monica decides to track down the culprit herself to clear her name and keep her safe. 
   
   
   
  Finding the killer won't be so easy, though, as the victim had run afoul of buyers, sellers, and even other realtors at one time or another, and it seems that nearly everyone in the small town had a reason to want him dead. Even more puzzling is that the deeper Monica digs into the background and final days of the victim, the more the clues point to her stepmother. Then a second body is found, and Monica realizes she's going up against a devious killer who will stop at nothing to put everyone involved out of commission . . .

  When the city of neon lights casts shadows that run deeper than the desert sands, secrets surface like ghosts from a tomb. 
  In this pulse-quickening installment of the Solitaire Series, Jack Bardlow returns to Vegas, haunted by more than just the scars on his body. Accompanied by Joseph, a man as enigmatic as the city's labyrinthine underworld, Jack seeks a moment of respite at an old friend's limo business—a place where the walls hold secrets tighter than a gambler's grip on loaded dice. But escape is elusive in a city that never sleeps. 
  As Jack retrieves two ominous bags, the air crackles with unsaid truths and unspoken dangers. Simion, the keeper of these secrets, finds himself unnerved under Joseph’s probing gaze, igniting an electric tension in the dim-lit lobby. Jack’s journey towards cosmetic redemption feels laden with dread, each step toward a surgeon promising salvation matched by the specter of looming chaos. 
  Meanwhile, Burt, a gambler on the run, stumbles into an enigma far beyond backroom card games. With an unexpected ally in the volatile Pick, son of a legendary figure with shadowy ties, Burt finds himself entangled in a web spun by power-hungry titans and ruthless ambition. In a world where alliances shift like desert winds, Burt's hopes of escape fade faster than the whiskey poured to soothe his troubles. 
  The stakes rise as the clock ticks, leaving everyone questioning truth and loyalty in a city where blood money runs thick and secrets are currency. As the buzz of the intercom signals another visitor at the gate, paradise turns purgatory, and every decision could spell doom. 
  Step into a world where the only certainty is danger, and trust is a luxury few can afford. When thunderclouds gather, who will be left standing when the storm breaks? Listen closely; the answers lie in the shadows.
