  When a typically closed-off Peg attempts online dating at Rose's strong urging, the experience plays out like an embarrassing mistake. At least, until she matches with Nolan Abercrombie—intelligent, attractive, and a self-proclaimed dog lover. The two share an instant connection that has Peg cautiously excited to finally bring someone special into her busy world of Standard Poodles and conformation shows. 
   
   
    
  Before Peg can admit that Rose was right and let down her walls for the budding romance, a terrible accident claims Nolan's life. As details about his background and tragic death come to light, Peg has a serious hunch that someone successfully plotted to kill her first real date in decades . . .  
   
   
    
  With suspects galore and a slew of puzzling clues to peel through, Peg and Rose team up to solve a dangerous mystery unfolding before their eyes. The question is: Can the unlikely duo turn their radically different personalities into an advantage as they scramble to ID the guilty culprit—or will they manage to work against each other and find themselves precisely where a meticulous murderer wants them to be?

  By day, Celeste Morgan is a world-renowned cellist whose performances bring audiences to tears. 
  By night, she’s a covert assassin whose silence brings her targets to their knees. 
  From the IndieReader approved author of A Salary Cinderella Story (Or How to Make More Money Without a Fairy Godmother) 
  For years, international intelligence agencies have relied on Celeste Morgan's unparalleled discipline, flawless precision, and constant travel schedule with the New York Symphony to eliminate the world’s most dangerous figures—quietly, cleanly, invisibly. To her colleagues, she’s a virtuoso with icy poise. To her handlers, she’s the perfect weapon. 
  But perfection shatters. 
  When a high-profile hit during the orchestra’s European tour collides with a ghost from her past, Celeste uncovers a secret organization called Eidolon—a shadow network tied not only to her missions, but to the car bomb that killed her mother two decades ago. As the truth unravels, Celeste discovers that the people she trusted most have been composing her life like a symphony… and she’s merely been playing her part. 
  Now, hunted by her own agency and stalked by an enigmatic operative who may be ally or enemy, Celeste must choose between the two identities she has always kept in harmony: the artist and the assassin. Because Eidolon wants her back—alive or dead—and the only way to break free is to confront the past she’s been trained to forget. 
  Her cello knows her secrets. 
  Her blade writes her future. 
  And the next movement of her life will be written in fire. 
  The Silent String is a gripping, elegant, and emotionally charged spy thriller—where every note matters, every lie cuts deep, and the deadliest weapon in the room may be the woman playing the music.

  Small-town Louisiana, 1935. When Eugene was twelve, a girl from town disappeared. Everyone said the gators must have got her when she strayed too near the bayou. No foul play, just a terrible accident. But Eugene can't shake the conviction that Mary Beth's death had something to do with the man who used to haunt her—the man no one else could see. 
   
  Now, nearly two decades later, there are more dangerous things than gators in Chanlarivyè. People are disappearing again, and this time, no one can find the bodies. As the town's unease grows, charismatic fugitive Johnny Walker arrives on the scene, shedding bullet casings and stolen bank notes in his wake. 
   
  He tangles himself up in Eugene's life and awakens memories Eugene thought he had laid to rest years ago. Memories of the mysterious man who followed Eugene into his dreams, and memories of the bayou—and of the horrifying entity that lurks beneath the water's surface, slowly seeping into the town like a stain.

  Seven Symanski doesn’t need anyone, least of all Enzo Conti. As one of Jericho’s Boys, a vigilante crew that protects their neighborhood, Seven has a found family, a mission, and enough baggage to keep any relationship at arm’s length. When a favor introduces him to Enzo, a charming criminal defense attorney and the son of Francesca Conti—the neighborhood’s own Robin Hood—sparks fly. But Seven’s never been good at sticking around, and a one-night stand seems like all they’re destined for. 
  Enzo’s life is built on rules, order, and keeping his family’s shady dealings just this side of legal. But Seven is chaos incarnate, and Enzo has never wanted anyone more. When Seven ghosts him, Enzo takes matters into his own hands, offering a no-strings deal that backfires spectacularly. Enzo’s mother intervenes with a plan to teach him a lesson, and suddenly, the boy he can’t stop thinking about is right under his nose—and maddeningly out of reach. 
  But when Seven’s mother is accused of embezzlement, the stakes turn deadly serious. The only one who can help is Enzo, even if it means going against his own powerful law firm. Together, they must unravel a dangerous conspiracy while navigating the growing tension between them. 
  As their worlds collide, trust is tested, lines are crossed, and Enzo and Seven discover that love doesn’t always follow the rules. But with a little risk, they might just find a way to save the day—and each other. 
  Ranger is a lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers again, cozy dark romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features an infuriatingly hot defense attorney with control issues and a fed-up, frustrated vigilante brat. As with any Onley book, you’ll find dark humor, steamy sexy times, and gratuitous violence, but only against people who totally deserve it. This is book 4 in the Jericho’s Boys series. Each book follows a different couple.

  Sherlock Holmes: The Complete...

  Arthur Conan Doyle

  Sherlock Holmes, the iconic fictional detective, was brought to life by the British author Arthur Conan Doyle. Renowned for his exceptional skills in observation, deduction, forensic science, and nearly supernatural logical reasoning, Holmes refers to himself as a "consulting detective" in the myriad of compelling stories that feature him. He adeptly applies his formidable intellect to solve a wide range of cases for diverse clients, including the esteemed Scotland Yard. 
  The character made his inaugural appearance in print in 1887 with the novel "A Study in Scarlet," which introduced readers to his extraordinary investigative abilities. However, it was the subsequent release of short stories in "The Strand Magazine" beginning with the gripping tale "A Scandal in Bohemia" in 1891 that truly cemented Holmes’s popularity in the public consciousness. This collection of narratives continued to captivate audiences until 1927, culminating in a total of four novels and 56 enthralling short stories. Most of these narratives are ingeniously set against the backdrop of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, specifically from 1880 to 1914, immersing readers in a time of social change and intrigue. 
  Dr. John H. Watson, Holmes’s loyal friend and biographer, often serves as the storyteller of these adventures. He frequently accompanies Holmes on his investigations, forging a deep bond that is underscored by their shared residence at the famous address of 221B Baker Street in London. This quaint apartment becomes the starting point for many of their thrilling escapades, as they navigate the mysteries and complexities of crime in an era rich with character and atmosphere.
