  June 6, 1944. Allied forces hit the beaches of Nazi-occupied France. Among the countless lives shattered are those of five spirited women with starkly different lives. As the war reaches its tipping point, each of the women fight for the survival of themselves, their countries, and their way of life during one of the most pivotal days in history. 
  
  American expatriate Mildred, better known as Axis Sally, has a thriving career as a Nazi radio propagandist, but her conscience haunts her. Meanwhile, across the English Channel, young medical volunteer Theda is pushed to her limit as shiploads of casualties dock in Portsmouth. Closer to the front, intrepid Flora aids the French resistance while seeking out her vanished parents. Iron-willed Emilia has climbed the Gestapo ranks, but she is now bent on betraying them. Finally, dignified Adelaide’s faith is shaken when she is forced to quarter German soldiers.
  
  Now, during the most perilous twenty-four hours of their lives, all five women must summon courage they never knew they had as they confront the physical dangers of war alongside treacherous family secrets, heartbreak, and the ability to trust themselves. For these women, their inner strength is their only hope. But is it enough? How far can one person go for the things they believe in?

  Countless secrets. 
  The most horrifying case of Kiara Fox’s career… 
  Kiara Fox leads a relatively ordinary life as a fraud investigator, looking into life insurance claims. With a loving husband and twin daughters, her world seems close to perfect. But when a case involving a wealthy businessman named Martin Powers lands on her desk, she senses something is off. 
  After her bosses put undue pressure on her to pay the claim quickly, she is convinced foul play is at work and begins a clandestine investigation. She discovers that Powers was not the pillar of the community he was cracked up to be but, rather, a controlling abusive husband who died in questionable circumstances, and she suspects this may not be the first such case her company has settled. 
  As she delves deeper, innocent people begin to die and Kiara finds herself in dangerous territory. Torn between protecting her own family and uncovering whoever is behind the killings, she faces an impossible choice and will have to confront her greatest fears. 
  The First Widow is an exciting debut from a major new thriller writer.

  What was meant to kill him became the fire that reforged him. 
   
  Captain David Shaw and fellow Marine Raider John Wyatt endure brutal captivity in a Congolese cobalt mine—hostages not of chance, but of design. Their imprisonment is orchestrated by the Czar's Brotherhood, a secret network manipulating world events for decades. When Shaw uncovers the truth, survival alone won't cut it—he must turn the fight against those who put him there. 
   
  While Shaw and Wyatt battle to survive, former CIA operative Natalie Hale mounts a relentless rescue to force the hand of the government she once served. Leveraging allies from conflicting circles, her mission puts her in the crosshairs of the Brotherhood's deadly enforcers—learning that this fight has different rules. 
   
  As their paths converge in a high-stakes manhunt from the historic streets of Switzerland to the icy waters of the Baltic Sea, Shaw and Natalie uncover a conspiracy threaded through the world's most influential circles. To take down an enemy that doesn't officially exist, Shaw will have to fight a war no one will acknowledge—and the cost of victory may be more than he's willing to pay.
