  A fake fiancée. An alive deceased husband. Samantha’s life just got more complicated. 
  When Stella MacInerney asks Samantha to be her maid of honor, she's surprised. The woman has enough stepdaughters from her three previous marriages to ask one of them. Why didn’t she? Then Leo asks Samantha to be his plus one to the wedding, as his fake fiancée. What’s up with that? So when Stella is kidnapped the eve of her wedding it’s up to Samantha to get to the bottom of these mysteries. Samantha vows three things: 
  1. Find Stella’s kidnappers and make them pay. She can’t wait to use her highest voltage stun gun on this bad guy. 
  2. Discover why Leo needs a fake fiancée? Who knew he had a past with the wedding planner? And when asked, he clams up. 
  3. Track down a key eyewitness in Stella’s disappearance who is a dead ringer for Carson. Could her dead husband really be alive? 
  When Stella’s ransomed for three million dollars, Samantha has twenty-four hours to find her alive. All while pretending to be engaged to Leo to keep the smiling devil of a wedding planner at bay, never mind Samantha's facing her own matrimonial past. Samantha doesn’t know how she’ll feel if the witness turns out to be Carson. But she might just have to use her highest voltage stun gun on him, too. Unless her fake fiancée does it first. 
  Warning: May cause spontaneous laughter. This mystery offers witty banter, characters you'll want to be friends with, and is a perfect escape to the Pacific Northwest. Laughing out loud in public may cause curious glances from strangers.

  For fans of Elin Hilderbrand, Liane Moriarty, and Kristin Hannah — four complete Caribbean mysteries, one haunted estate, one woman who refuses to stay broken. 
  Attorney Katie Connell has the worst week of her career on live television, flies to the U.S. Virgin Islands to grieve in private, and ends up buying a haunted plantation estate on impulse. Estate Annalise is beautiful and broken — inhabited by a jumbie, a Caribbean spirit, with strong opinions about who belongs. Katie is starting to believe it. 
  The Katie Connell Box Set collects all four novels in Pamela Fagan Hutchins' beloved series. Across four complete books, Katie investigates her parents' cold-case murder, falls in love at exactly the wrong moment, tracks her missing husband across three countries in a rescue thriller that spans the Caribbean, and clears her own name when a corpse ruins her honeymoon and the St. Marcos police decide she's their best suspect. 
  These are mystery-thrillers with soul and heat — propulsive plots, emotionally specific characters, and Caribbean settings rendered with the authenticity of an author who actually lived on St. Croix. The islands are not a backdrop. They are a character. Pamela Fagan Hutchins knows them from the inside: the warmth, the wildness, the beauty that doesn't fully yield to outsiders, and the secrets the water keeps. 
  The series is complete with four books. Start with Saving Grace — and clear your weekend. 
  She came to the islands to fall apart. Four books later, she's still there — and the islands are not done with her yet.

  Equal parts mystery and epic novel inspired by historical events, Foreign Seed plunges listeners into the search for a man who seems to vanish out of thin air. 
   
   
   
  China, June 1918. When the explorer Frank Meyer suddenly disappears from a ferry on the Yangtze River, American Vice-Consul Samuel Sokobin is tasked with finding the missing man. By the time Sokobin receives the case, four days have passed since Meyer was last seen on the vast river. With no clues to guide his search and fearing failure in his new post as a man of rank, Sokobin heads upriver with Mr. Lin, a Chinese interpreter he's never met. The investigation soon turns deeply personal for Sokobin, who can't help but conflate Meyer's fate with that of his own daring younger brother—a fighter pilot gone MIA in the world war. As Sokobin continues to search for answers, this mental connection threatens to break him, and he's forced to contend with the biggest question of all: what do we do when the answers we most desperately seek are the very ones that elude us? 
   
   
   
  A sweeping tale of loss and grief, Foreign Seed is a moving testament to friendship, faith, and the resilience of the human spirit. Allison Alsup's exquisitely-researched debut novel will stay in listeners' hearts and minds long after they've finished the last page.
