Critically acclaimed author of The Mourning Hours and The Fragile World, Paula Treick DeBoard returns with a tale of dark secrets, shocking lies and a dangerous obsession that will change one neighborhood forever

Liz McGinnis never imagined herself living in a luxurious gated community like The Palms. Ever since she and her family moved in, she's felt like an outsider amongst the Stepford-like wives and their obnoxiously spoiled children. Still, she's determined to make it work—if not for herself, then for her husband, Phil, who landed them this lavish home in the first place, and for her daughter, Danielle, who's about to enter high school.

Yet underneath the glossy veneer of The Palms, life is far from idyllic. In a place where reputation is everything, Liz soon discovers that even the friendliest residents can't be trusted. So when the gorgeous girl next door befriends Danielle, Liz can't help but find sophisticated Kelsey's interest in her shy and slightly nerdy daughter a bit suspicious.

But while Kelsey quickly becomes a fixture in the McGinnis home, Liz's relationships with both Danielle and Phil grow strained. Now even her own family seems to be hiding things, and it's not long before their dream of living the high life quickly spirals out of control…

In the Black: A Satire of the Sixtiesby M.T. Bass

If ever a period in American history deserved the Catch-22 treatment, it is the decade you either love to hate or hate to love:

— Sex, Drugs, & Rock ‘n Roll
— A Man on the Moon
— A Summer of Love
— The Smell of Napalm in the Morning
— The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
— The FBI vs. The SDS
— Woodstock vs. Altamont
— Hippies vs. the Silent Majority
— Fathers vs. Sons

“The workers you saw out on the factory floor make money for me…and these learned bastards in here spend it all,” Y.T. Erp, Sr. would always say as he passed through the Engineering Department when hosting a plant tour for a representative of that hallowed stalwart of capitalism known as THE CUSTOMER. “I am also of the firm conviction that there comes a time when all engineers should be shot in the head so that production can actually begin.”

Y.T., Jr., on the other hand, can’t wait to leave for college at the University of California, Berkeley to escape not only the work, but especially all the phlegm-brained idiots at his father’s aerospace company.

Leaving behind a pregnant auburn-haired cheerleader, a sensuous red-headed siren plotting to usurp his familial ties, and his two best friends — one who ends up in Vietnam and the other in the Weather Underground — his “trip” on the wild side of the Generation Gap takes him from the psychedelic scene of Haight-Ashbury to the F.B.I.’s Ten Most Wanted list.

Meanwhile his father is consumed by the task of managing his unmanageable corporate team in the quest to help fulfill a President’s challenge to “land a man on the moon.”

American Romeby Adam Perin

They found the President after nine days, half-dead on the far side of the world…

The Commander-in-Chief vanishes while on a diplomatic trip to the Far East, only to reappear days later in a dusty hotel room in North Africa…claiming to have no memory of where he’s been, and somehow not quite the same…

A congressional hearing is shattered by gunfire in a massacre without any apparent motive or reason…

An enigmatic woman controls a vast group of conspirators with impossible reach and highly questionable motives…

The common thread is Braden Cooper. An Afghan war veteran turned jaded Congressional Staffer, he’s thrust into a shadowy world where ignorance is currency and ethics are a liability.

Braden came to the nation’s capital to start a new life far away from the battlefields he can’t seem to leave behind, but he’ll find that Washington DC is embroiled in a different sort of war altogether.

If he can’t master the rules of political combat–and fast–he’ll lose everything. Following a twisting path of conspiracy, manipulation and betrayal, Braden’s journey will lead him from the marbled halls of Congress to the darkest jungles of Amazonian Colombia, where he’ll learn that in the “American Rome,” all things are possible…for those willing to pay the price.

Right Under My Nose #1by Ali Parker

My life couldn’t get any more ridiculous.

A few days ago, my son’s teacher wanted to berate me on my parenting style.

I politely told her to back off, in so many words.

And now? She’s sitting across the table from me at my first blind date in years.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Nothing has been easy since my wife left me and Hunter years ago. And yet, we persevered.

He’s my whole world, and the last thing I have time for is a woman.

But this beautiful teacher disagrees. She wants to help me find the right girl for me and my boy. My best friend agrees. It’s time.

To shut everyone up, I go along with it. How bad can this get?

Don’t ask.

The right woman has been under my nose the whole time. And without realizing it, I’ve fallen deeply in love with her.

I can only hope she’ll stop her silly search and accept my offer.

Be mine.

Forever.

This is book 1 of a trilogy. There is a cliffhanger at the end. You will have to buy book 2 and 3 to finish the story.
