The Light Through the Leaves: A Novelby Glendy Vanderah

Go on a powerful journey of forgiveness and healing with The Light Through the Leaves, a transcendent novel of love, loss, and self-discovery by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Where the Forest Meets the Stars.

One unbearable mistake at the edge of the forest.

In a moment of crisis, Ellis Abbey leaves her daughter, Viola, unattended–for just a few minutes. But when she returns, Viola is gone. A breaking point in an already fractured marriage, Viola’s abduction causes Ellis to disappear as well–into grief, guilt, and addiction. Convinced she can only do more harm to her family, Ellis leaves her husband and young sons, burying her desperate ache for her children deeper with every step into the mountain wildernesses she treks alone.

In a remote area of Washington, a young girl named Raven keeps secrets inside, too. She must never speak to outsiders about how her mother makes miracles spring from the earth, or about her father, whose mysterious presence sometimes frightens her. Raven spends her days learning how to use her rare gifts–and more important, how to hide them. With each lesson comes a warning of what dangers lie in the world beyond her isolated haven. But despite her mother’s cautions, Raven finds herself longing for something more.

As Ellis and Raven each confront their powerful longings, their journeys will converge in unexpected and hopeful ways, pulled together by the forces of nature, love, and family.

Black Jackby A Parker

They murdered my brother and woke up a beast.

Losing my comrades in the military overseas was expected.

Coming home to a murdered little brother and a hometown ravaged by monsters that think they now own the place?

Not just no, but hell to the no. It’s about to get messy.

When I left Reno to join the SEALS, my younger brother took the reins to my MC, the Devil’s Luck.

He was supposed to wear the leather and fill the shoes until I got back. Not leave me alone in this life.

Now that I’m back, I have a bigger fight on my hands than I thought possible.

And not only that, but a beautiful girl is caught in the middle.

The type of woman that keeps a hard man like me up at night, pacing the floor with need.

I don’t deserve a woman like her. I’ve spilled too much blood in my life to be worthy of love.

Besides, I don’t have time for romance.

My town is under attack, and I’m going to get it back.

The war isn’t over.

It’s just beginning.

Note: Black Jack is a standalone, full-length novel with an HEA in a long series for the Devil’s Luck MC. It’s a darker romance than Ali’s contemporary romance books. Hence the A Parker pen name. Enjoy!

Susan: A Jane Austen Prequelby Alice McVeigh

Susan is a Jane Austen Prequel (or Pride and Prejudice Variation) brilliantly capturing Austen’s own Lady Susan as a young girl.

As the BookLife review put it for Publishers Weekly: “McVeigh’s prose and plotting are pitch-perfect. Emma mingles with Pride and Prejudice in a delightful confrontation between the two books’ worlds… This Austen-inspired novel echoes the master herself.”

Familiar characters abound – Frank Churchill, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Darcy himself – but Susan – mischievous and manipulative – is the star. This is Austen that even Austen might have loved, with a touch of Georgette Heyer in the romantic sections. Fans of Bridgerton will also relish this classic regency romance, the first in a six-book series.

Sixteen-year-old Susan Smithson – pretty but poor, clever but capricious – has just been expelled from a school for young ladies in London.

At the mansion of the formidable Lady Catherine de Bourgh, she attracts a raffish young nobleman. But, at the first hint of scandal, her guardian dispatches her to her uncle Collins’ rectory in Kent, where her sensible cousin Alicia lives and “where nothing ever happens.”

Here Susan mischievously inspires the local squire to put on a play, with consequences no one could possibly have foreseen. What with the unexpected arrival of Frank Churchill, Alicia’s falling in love and a tumultuous elopement, rural Kent will surely never seem safe again…

But when the ruling powers from the kingdom of Resslayke need a great warrior, The Life-Taker is their only hope of victory, and they will stop at nothing to force him into the fight.

Marked by a magician as a means of coercion, Kurzhon is left unable to hide from those seeking vengeance for his bloodthirsty ways. With no other choice, he is forced to travel to the beleaguered kingdom where he is drawn into the conflict of two nations.

Using his arsenal of deadly skills, while confronting old enemies and making new ones, the last of the Vultaikans must navigate these dark waters of deceit if he is to survive.
