  Helping animals for a living? Check. 
   
   
   
  Having the best friends in the world? Check. 
   
   
   
  Falling in love with one of those friends? Um . . . Check. 
   
   
   
  Stevie has everything she wants, except the one thing that matters most: her friend and roommate, Angie. But the shadows of Angie's past have a long reach, and even though everyone in the small town of Seal Cove knows Stevie and Angie have been in love for years, none of that matters if Angie herself isn't willing to take the risk. 
   
   
   
  Risk, as far as Angie is concerned, equals loss. She once risked everything by telling the truth—and that ended badly. Very badly. Friendship is the only thing that has ever worked out for her. She can't afford to lose Stevie—even at the expense of her own happiness. 
   
   
   
  However, when their other roommates move out of the house, each finds it harder and harder to resist their feelings. Angie must decide if the scars of her past will dictate her future, and Stevie will need to accept that sometimes, people need to save themselves.

  Adventure guide Kira Watling is not a natural with guest lists and flower arranging... 
  But the destination wedding agency she works for always goes above and beyond. And it’s her job to escort an important guest from Salzburg to the venue, a gorgeous chalet nestled in the mountains. It should be simple, but an overnight delay due to heavy snowfall leaves her stuck in close quarters with her very handsome, very eccentric charge, Italian opera singer Mattia. 
  Clumsy, yet sensitive, Mattia is unlike anyone Kira has ever met. Spending an evening exploring the Christmas markets and then making their way through the snow-covered mountains to the wedding the following day, Mattia gets under Kira’s skin in a way no one else has. They can’t ignore the very unexpected attraction, but Kira has a job to do. And whilst Mattia is open to love, bitter life experience has taught Kira to guard her heart. 
  Continually thrown together by wedding disasters, Kira finds her resistance to commitment sorely challenged by growing feelings for the charming Mattia – and the determination of the bridal party to make these snowbound nuptials a success. But can there be a future for a tough outdoor guide and an opera singer when the snow is finally cleared?

  What do you do when one of your deep space survey ships discovers a fertile, Earth-like planet that isn’t currently occupied by humans or any other intelligent species? 
  If you’re the Lunar Free State, you make plans to put a colony there—and try to keep it secret so the Confederated Nations of Earth don’t do the same. Unfortunately, though, the secret gets out, and the CNE scrambles to launch their own colony project, starting a race by both nations to make their claim to the planet. 
  But when exobiologist Kim Jin Li discovers that the planet does, in fact, have native intelligent life—a race of feline predators that communicate telepathically—the discovery sets up a confrontation between LFS and CNE warships in orbit, and the LFS Marines and CNE Peacekeepers on the ground. 
  Is this the beginning of the long-expected final war between the Lunar Free State and the Confederated Nations of Earth?

  It's the "bleeding edge" of science: Deep Artificial Intelligence merged with near-human duplicates. The result? The Parahuman, a crucial resource for the rich, the famous, and top political leaders. But the technology spread rapidly without oversight. Hollywood re-creates megastars from the golden era to save itself from bankruptcy; organized crime kingpins can be in two places at the same time; political leaders can send their Parahuman duplicate into places too dangerous for any human to enter. But what happens when AI develops its own personality--and objectives?  
    
  Michael Benchley, FBI Deputy Director of Science and Technology, is in a race against time that leads him to Hollywood, Tel Aviv, Tehran, and ultimately to the White House. As the U.S. Senate seeks to define this new form of "life," and to shield the Parahumans from abuse, the creatures achieve gain-of-function beyond anyone's anticipation. It's a scenario closer to reality than you think!

  Twelve-year-old Rocco Fanelli is a spelling bee champ in the making. He's the odds-on favorite to win the local middle-school bee and go on to the regionals, the state, and ultimately the nationals. Which is why someone is trying to intimidate him to drop out with a threatening note in his locker. Rocco's concerned parents hire Maya and Sandra to uncover the culprit and ensure their son's safety. 
   
   
   
  But the competition turns killer when a high school teacher who's running the bee, clearly favoring certain students, is found dead in the school supply closet. Sandra had already confronted Ellie Lambert over unfairly grading her son Ryan—which now makes her a suspect. 
   
   
   
  She's not the only one who tangled with the teacher, however, and with suspects ranging from helicopter parents to the school custodian, Maya and Sandra will need to put their heads together to spell out who had the motive and opportunity to silence Ellie Lambert . . .
