Sinopsis

Meet the new generation of Penningtons...five brothers and sisters of passion and privilege. Enter their aristocratic world…where each will fight injustice and find love.
Hugh Pennington - Viscount Greysteil, Lord Justice of the Scottish Courts, hero of the Napoleonic wars - is a grieving widower with a death wish. When he receives an expected crate from the continent, he is shocked to find a nearly dead woman inside. Her identity is unknown, and the handful of American coins and the precious diamond sewn into her dress only deepen the mystery.
Grace Ware is an enemy of the English crown. Her father, an Irish military commander of Napoleon's defeated army. Her mother, an exiled Scottish Jacobite. Running from her father's murderers, she never anticipated bad luck to deposit her at the home of an aristocrat in the Scottish Borders. Baronsford is the last place she could expect to find safety, and Grace feigns a loss of memory to buy herself time while she recovers.
When their duel of wits quickly turns to passion and romance, Grace's fears begin to dissolve…until danger follows her to the very doors of Baronsford. For, unknown to either of them, Grace has in her possession a secret that will wreak havoc within the British government. Friend and foe are indistinguishable as lethal forces converge to tear the two lovers apart or destroy them both!

    Some families leave you money. Others leave you scars. 
    Based on a true story, Paper Roses is a sweeping, emotionally resonant novel from the sister of Traciii Show Hutsona--the New York Times-featured serial con artist-about family secrets, inherited trauma, and the long shadow of betrayal. 
    When Abigail Jones learns of her sister Nikki's third arrest, she's pulled into a spiral of questions: Was it fate, family, or something buried even deeper? As Abigail begins to piece together the past, she uncovers a trail of silence and survival that stretches across continents and generations. 
    From a 1940s Moroccan household where a young maid bears witness to the origins of a generational wound, to the sun-washed suburbs of 1970s California, and finally to 2023-told through podcast transcripts, court documents, and splintered memory-Paper Roses follows Abigail's search for answers, her confrontation with the sister she thought she knew, and her reckoning with a legacy neither of them could escape. 
    A haunting story of loyalty and the cost of breaking free, Paper Roses is perfect for readers of The Vanishing Half, Little Fires Everywhere, and The Paper Palace.

    You will not believe what you are reading - even though it all feels so real. 
    Only a man like Smilin’ Jack could monetize civil war. After the infamous business tycoon launches a hit TV show that pits American and Confederate gladiators in brutal battles, his grisly spectacle draws the attention of psychopaths across the nation. 
    When a mysterious Christian nationalist sparks a nationwide manhunt after a string of massacres in the name of his God, Department of Homeland Security analyst Victoria Morales plunges into a deadly race against time to track down the elusive terrorist and prevent more bloodshed. 
    But with no leads, and constrained by government regulations, the FBI is left grasping at straws. Vicky is sick and tired of fighting a maniac with one hand tied behind her back – and she’s fed up with the violent culture glamorized by television shows like Coliseum. 
    As the fight between the gladiators spirals into a personal vendetta, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish the world of make-believe and that of reality. The Archangel doesn’t play by the rules – and to stop him, Vicky will have to take the law into her own hands. 
    Can Vicky take down the Archangel and prevent his twisted holy war? Or has Coliseum inspired so much hate that it’s pushed America over the edge? 
    Step into a gritty and suspenseful near-future thriller that delves into hard-hitting themes of American militarism and Christian nationalist terrorism. In a world where America’s fractures are portrayed through televised battles for all to see, Coliseum is a chilling exploration of what we’re willing to accept in the name of entertainment.

    Starting in New York City, The Plan quickly moves to the Mississippi Delta and winds up in Ecuador. Based on a true story of two murdered civil rights lawyers, Susan Klopfer’s intriguing work weaves factual history through alternative or paranormal fiction themes. The tight bond between Clinton and Joe, two gay, black lawyers is broken when Joe (openly married to a knockout blond woman) is reportedly found hanged. Moore believes Joe Means was tortured and murdered (not a suicide, as Joe’s cagey wife insists), and that his and Joe’s shared obsession—investigating the cover-ups of various murders and assassinations of civil rights activists, including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and President John Kennedy—is the reason for Joe’s death. Clinton also believes he is next on a hit list, and that solving Joe’s murder is his only chance of survival. When he discovers Joe’s wife, Tara, was spirited away as an expat to South America, he sends his trusted Spanish-speaking legal assistant, Mollie Johnson, to Ecuador for the adventure of her life. But Clinton Moore is killed before Mollie even leaves the airport. Mollie responds to join forces with former Dallas journalist Sara Mercury, and together they take readers into the high Andes to bring home Joe’s widow who they believe is in serious danger. Filled with more than enough civil rights and alternative history to titillate the most sophisticated conspiracy theorist, Klopfer‘s first foray into paranormal and alternative fiction is thought-provoking fodder and a fun read! Ties to the KKK, paramilitary groups (Militia), Neo Nazis, Chile's Colonia Dignidad (Paul Schaeffer and Augusto Pinochet), the NSA, FBI, CIA and the assassinations of two famous civil rights leaders and President John F. Kennedy, keep the fast pace of this historical fiction, paranormal thriller that is first of the Civil Rights Mystery Sleuth crime adventure series.
