With her husband recently deceased, she and her child head back home ten years later...just in time for the invasion. Sheriff Wayne can never share how he'd known about the Chinese forces before they stormed his beloved little Florida town. The locals would think he was crazy. However, when their harmless city is put under military lockdown, he's not the only one who finds the whole invasion suspicious. As Joanna and Wayne team up to uncover the truth, they must venture into a terrifying world that defies reality. Moreover, if they journey too deep, they may never make it out alive....

  Quinn Delaney thought she'd seen it all, but then her crazy life takes an unexpected turn. 
   
   
   
  To find out if a recurring murder-dream has come true, she agrees to investigate the death of a matchmaker who'd rubbed Quinn the wrong way. 
   
   
   
  Fortunately, this case comes with perks—a resort vacation and maybe even true love—as Quinn and Toni go undercover as participants in a matchmaking competition. 
   
   
   
  With romance in the air, it's hard not to get caught up. Or maybe not, because Quinn is perfectly happy with her single life. Isn't she? There's little time for that debate. She has a killer to catch. 
   
   
   
  Unfortunately, the deeper they dig, the more dirt they find. 
   
   
   
  Between two competing matchmakers at war with each other, a prankster ghost with his own agenda, and a jilted boyfriend behaving like the king of charm, the sleuths have much to unravel—so why is Toni getting distracted? And why is Quinn the target of nasty gossip and threats? 
   
   
   
  Quinn's delusions grow as fast as her topsy-turvy love life. Is she up for the challenge? Or will she retreat to her cafe where life is cozy, predictable, and safe?

  Stronger Than Fear

  Richard Tregaskis considered Stronger Than Fear to be the most important book he ever wrote about World War II because it strikes closer to the heart of war. It stands well after the years because it hits into the basic human values involved in war, aside from politics or patriotism. This is RT’s greatest war novel told in less than 30,000 words. The only immortality, the lasting things about this life, were honor, decency, courage, the intangibles of the spirit. Moments of such are the only permanent things in the transient world of war and the man who rose to them were the only ones who really lived. 
  World War II street fighting in Germany reminded Richard Tregaskis of the jungle campaigning he had seen on Guadalcanal and other South Pacific islands. The enemy fought hard in his home ground. Everything was close in, the rows of houses were like trees and street-corners were like thickets, and every house was a potential sniper’s nest. As RT accompanied the platoon of ten men to which he was attached, he reflected on one central question: to a veteran, what does it mean when fighting becomes a way of life and peace is only a dream?
