    Funny how romance can complicate even the simplest plans… 
    Now that his time with the British Navy is done, Will Slater has only one mission. He will find Lady Barbara. They only had one night together before he left London, but his heart will always belong to her. So, he’ll discover why she disappeared from Society—and from his life—if it’s the last thing he ever does… 
    Barbara needs help, not love. Banished and destitute, her prospects are bleak. The last person she expects to come to her rescue is Will. She lost faith in him long ago. How could she possibly forgive the man who ruined and abandoned her? 
    Meanwhile, Will’s lookalike bastard brother has issues of his own. Stephen had been more than happy to charm the ton in his brother’s name while Will chased Barbara. But then he meets the lovely Victoria and everything changes... 
    As Will fights for a second chance with Barbara, and Stephen wonders if Victoria will want him when she discovers who he really is, only one thing is certain. The path to happily ever after will not be an easy one.

    SILENT HOME (A Sheila Stone Suspense Thriller—Book 13) is the thirteenth book in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller The Perfect Wife (a free download) has received over 20,000 five star reviews.
    
    With her Olympic dreams crumbled, Sheila, 28, struggles to find her place back home. She is surrounded by reminders of what could have been, stuck inside the shadow of her older sister: the golden child, the respected sheriff. But when her sister persuades her to join the local police force, Sheila’s life and career start anew.
    
    As she hunts serial killers, Sheila notices clues that others miss and offers a perspective that no one else has. She realizes she has a talent outside of fighting, and that she has a chance to embrace a new life in Salt Lake—a life outside the ring.
    
    This is a different kind of ring, though. Sheila quickly realizes that to survive, she will need more than just her strength—she’ll need a brilliance to match that of even the most diabolical killer….
    Can Sheila win this match? Or will she finally lose it all?
    
    A page-turning and harrowing suspense thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured protagonist, the SHEILA STONE series is a riveting mystery, packed with suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.
