The Last Standby Lorhainne Eckhart

The law is the law until someone comes after your family.

From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart comes a new Billy Jo McCabe mystery set on a small island town in the Pacific Northwest. On the eve of Police Chief Mark Friessen’s wedding, a fierce snowstorm blankets the island, knocking out power, and the body of a woman is discovered in the church. The only clue is the note in her hand, a list of names—all members of Mark’s family.

Mark Friessen has been counting down the days to his wedding to Billy Jo McCabe. Yet only days from Christmas, after their families arrive, a freak blizzard comes out of nowhere and knocks out power on the entire island.

With the island in an emergency and the ferry shut down, no help is arriving anytime soon from the mainland. Mark receives a call to stop into the church where he and Billy Jo are planning on being married the next day, but there he stumbles upon the body of a woman. The only evidence is a note she’s clutching. At the top, in all bold, is the word KILL, and listed below are the names of everyone he loves, including Billy Jo, his parents, his brothers, their wives, and his two nieces.

With access to the outside world cut off, Mark finds himself up against an invisible enemy who he believes is coming after his unsuspecting family. But Mark has no idea who it is. Where is the killer hiding on the island, why isn’t Mark’s name on the list, and who is the dead woman? Mark is determined to find the killer and protect his family, whatever it takes…even if it’s his Last Stand.

The Test Pilot's Wife by Mark Wayne McGinnis

The Test Pilot’s Wife is the bittersweet saga of Lura Lee Dunn and WWI flying ace Eugene Hoy Barksdale. Written in the spirit of The Aviator’s Wife and The Second Mrs. Astor, this historical fiction novel features cameos from such notable characters as Jimmy Doolittle and Amelia Earhart.

WWI is waning in Europe, but Lieutenant Barksdale’s near constant aerial combat missions have taken their toll. Homeward bound—his physical wounds are healing, while haunting mental wounds linger.

Lura Lee Dunn is an aspiring concert pianist, whose own personal battle is just beginning. The women’s suffrage movement is on the rise, emboldening her to break free from her prominent father’s outdated expectations. Unexpectedly, at a posh Hollis House gala, she meets a young pilot, one just home from fighting the Jerries over France. There is no ignoring Barksdale’s quick wit and Southern charm. But try as she might to avoid the young aviator, Lura finds herself drawn to him.

Barksdale quickly rises in the ranks as one of America’s top test pilots. Soon, Lura hears accounts of the young pilot’s dramatic exploits—breakneck aerial races, parachuting from planes, and so many death-defying crashes—that the man seems to border on the suicidal.

Lura readies to leave—to study at Chicago’s renowned Perfield Music School. Tying her fate to the enigmatic pilot, will only bring disaster into her life. But even as dark clouds form in the skies above, she cannot ignore the pull, or the need, to stay.

Winning Her Highland Warriorby Maeve Greyson

So many things in the past she wants to escape—except one.

Satia St. Clair, a street smart, socially aloof, microbiologist, is literally immersed in her research at a Highland loch when a crumbling ledge tosses her into its murky depths without her diving gear. The last thing she expects is for a 14th century Scottish warlord to pull her to safety.

Not only does he save her, but Kane Macpherson half believes her to be a faerie queen. After all, myth and folklore surround An Lochan Uaine. But even when common sense wins out, something about the beguiling lass demands she be treated like the special woman he instinctively knows she is. And he swears to protect her from anyone or anything. Which could be a problem when she makes the mistake of sharing her otherworldly knowledge of events yet to happen, and it gets back to his liege, Robert the Bruce. Kane soon realizes the greatest danger to Satia is herself. He’s in peril, too. Or at least, his heart is. Fae queen or not, this green-eyed beauty not only possesses the second sight, but the power to capture a man’s heart and soul without even realizing it.

Satia is so drawn to Kane it frightens her. But the last time she let what amounted to nothing more than a stupid infatuation blind her common sense, the lowlife maggot pirated her research, published it under his name, and made her the laughingstock of the scientific community. She refuses to be conned again. And when she discovers a critical link to her cancer study while in the past, she’s determined to get it back to her time. Her best friend’s life and the lives of so many others depend on it. But that means ignoring her heart and leaving Kane behind. Hopefully, just for a little while, but possibly forever.

A string of foster homes taught Satia to never let down her guard or believe in anything silly as love, but Kane makes that so hard to remember. And even worse, when she reverses her trip through time and takes the cure back to the 21st century, home doesn’t feel like home anymore. She doesn’t belong anywhere and mourns the chance at a life she should never have left behind.

Now all she can do is hope to make it back to her Highland Warrior and win him all over again. That is, if the 14th century will let her come back.

Dirty Deeds 2 by Armand Rosamilia

Everything was going smoothly until my past caught up with me.

Now I’m being taunted by a madman who knows more about me than I do.

He’s kidnapped the closest person in my life, and he is using it to get my attention.

Trust me… he has it. Now I just need to figure out where he is and when he’ll strike again.

Things were easier when I was only kidnapping children.
