    What can be done to stop madness from sweeping the world when political indecision is the norm? When the nation's leaders lack the backbone to stand up to them, what can stop an enemy that knows no rules? Charity.

Now working for the Department of Homeland Security, she is offered the opportunity to make a real difference.

    Already a martial arts instructor and pilot, Director Stockwell guides her training in marksmanship and spycraft, making Charity the most dangerous asset in America's covert arsenal. Charity then sets her sails, crossing the sea in an antique sloop. A single-minded, all-encompassing determination stays her course...to confront the enemy and play by their rules.

    After the President nominates Duke for a cabinet post, Catherine sees her opportunity and delivers an ultimatum: either fire Pam or get ready for a very public, very ugly divorce. Duke’s sharply honed political instincts tell him exactly what he needs to do. In one abrupt, brutal meeting, Duke ends the relationship and fires her from the job she loves. But Pam is not about to go quietly: A powerful New York publisher is offering her big money for what could be the ultimate Washington tell-all. But when people around her begin dying, Pam realizes that finishing the book may be a matter of life and death—her own.

    🍰 Quilt shop owner and fabric stack specialist Lily Layer is hosting a layer cake cutting party when the shop's most competitive customer—a notorious quilt show champion—is found dead in her store, crushed under a toppled tower of layer cake stacks. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Lily notices the fabric stacks have been deliberately unbalanced and the victim's quilt contest entries contain suspiciously similar patterns to other quilters' work. With her shop temporarily closed and the quilting community divided, Lily must peel back the layers of this fabric-filled mystery. Assisted by her cutting crew and the handsome textile analyst examining print patterns, Lily uncovers a scheme involving pattern plagiarism, stolen quilt designs, and a sophisticated operation copying award-winning quilts. From suspicious print rotations that reveal intentional mirroring to color placements that match other quilters' work too closely, every stacked layer tells a story. But when Lily discovers the victim was systematically entering copied quilts in competitions under different names, she realizes the killer is protecting creative integrity more valuable than any blue ribbon. With the national quilt competition approaching and the real copycat still stacking deception, Lily must sort through the evidence before her own reputation gets permanently layered under suspicion.
