Temptation of Charlotte North
When a sinister spirit invades an isolated community, three lives will be forever altered, in this dark gothic fantasy from the acclaimed author of At the Bottom of the Garden. "Richly atmospheric and peopled with exquisitely delineated characters . . . the novel builds to a genuine shocker of an ending. Readers will be hooked."--Publishers Weekly
A rebellious young woman desperate to escape her predetermined life. The handsome but married priest who has caught her eye. And the resolute schoolteacher who values science above all. In 1910, on a small, remote island that boasts more sheep than people, the fates of Charlotte North, Jasper Hill, and Ruth Russel are perched on the edge of a cliff, and a strange wind is blowing. . . . When an ancient tower--rumored to have once imprisoned a witch--crumbles, it releases something powerful: a restless spirit that knocks inside the walls and sends household objects flying. A spirit that seems to be drawn to Charlotte, who sees in it a potential for power and change. But first she must overcome Jasper's piety and Ruth's fierce determination to banish the terrifying entity. Only then will she gain the power to claim the life that she desires. -

Rachel West and the Fallen Starlet
Celebrity gossip can cut to the quick, but when it turns deadly it's up to an aspiring reporter and her quirky neighbors to close the case in the first of a witty and nostalgic new mystery series. Baby doll top, gladiator sandals, and fully loaded iPod at the ready: it's 2008 in Los Angeles, and Rachel West is a little less starry-eyed than your average ingenue. Copyediting a celeb gossip rag isn't the glossy entertainment journalism Rachel thought she would be doing but hey, it pays the bills. Some of them, anyway. Rachel's life changes overnight after meeting Molly Byrne, a former child star and current tabloid fave for her drunken escapades and rotating cast of boyfriends, and what begins as a chance encounter in a nightclub bathroom quickly grows into a genuine friendship. When Molly is found dead, Hollywood accepts her death as an overdose. But Rachel knows for a fact her friend was clean--and she's not alone in her suspicions that Molly was murdered. With the help of a ragtag group of residents from her apartment building, a friendly paparazzo, and a handsome detective, Rachel must solve the mystery of Molly's death before she's written off for good. -
Bullets, Biscuits, and Bloodshed
Legendary bounty hunter Luke Jensen enlists the help of chuckwagon cook Dewey "Mac" McKenzie in a deadly manhunt--but ends up neck-deep in an even deadlier range war. . . . JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. JUSTICE WITH A SIDE OF GUNFIRE. Dewey "Mac" McKenzie doesn't have much of an appetite for bounty hunting. Before he was a cook, Mac had a price on his head--and bounty hunters on his tail. Nowadays, he'd much rather be stewing beef over an open fire than opening fire on another man. Then he met Luke Jensen, bounty hunter extraordinaire. As a favor to his new friend, Mac agrees to join Luke on the trail of a wanted fugitive. A trail that leads them deep into Oregon timber country--and smack dab in the middle of a brewing war . . . The trouble starts in a saloon, a knuckle-busting brawl between the loggers from Pine Knob and some cowboys from a nearby ranch. When the ruckus turns bloody, Luke and Mac join the fray. Funny thing is, Luke takes the side of the ranchers while Mac teams up with the loggers. Which works out in their favor. By splitting up, they can now search for the fugitive in both groups at the same time. Mac steps in as the loggers' new cook, while Luke joins the cowboys at the Triangle 7 Ranch, where this feud first ignited--and is getting hotter by the day. For Luke and Mac, that means stepping out of the frying pan--and into the gunfire. -

The company's tech bro CEO, though, is another story. With Caitlin Rozakis's signature wit, STARTUP HELL is a contemporary fantasy that exposes the demonic nature of the corporate world. -
Star-Cursed Heart
Two women are cursed to be mortal enemies, despite their love for each other, in this queer, fantastical novel by Annie Mare. In the lead-up to the Salem witch trials, a desperate man made a deal with the devil--a deal that would drag two families down with him. Now, over 400 years later, the Steadfasts and the Prynnes remain caught in a curse that sentences both families to an existence of rigid rules, torturous consequences, and half-lives. Lucy Prynne and Ashes Steadfast are the latest to take on the mantle of this centuries-old deal: Lucy, born to try to reap the souls of the hopeful; and Ashes, born to stop Lucy, no matter the cost. But before they inherited their respective curses, it sure felt like Ash's purpose was Lucy. Her best friend, her closest confidant, her true love. Ash knows the rules. She keeps her head down, her emotions in check, and she fights Lucy, no matter the personal cost. They are doomed to an incessant battle between good and bad, self-righteous and carnal. Or so Ash thinks. But when she resists her instincts to fight Lucy and finally starts to fight the curse instead, she realizes there might just be a way to end this once and for all. If not in this timeline, then the next. As generational secrets begin to unravel, Ashes and Lucy join forces against the true threat that has haunted their families for centuries, even if it costs them their lives--and their love. -

Bourbon & Proof (Standard Edition)
From Victoria Wilder comes the final book in a small-town romantic suspense series with all the steam, drama, and banter you could ask for, perfect for fans of Paisley Hope, Catherine Cowles, and Elsie Silver.
In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother.
It isn't just small-town lore or neighborhood gossip--I've witnessed what happens when the men in my family get too comfortable and fall. And maybe that's history now, but the responsibility to lead our family business and maintain our standing as the world's most sought-after Kentucky bourbon is on my shoulders. Few others know the lengths I'll go to ensure the safety of my business and family. Blurring morals and manipulating rules are all just part of the game.
There's only one problem: Hadley Finch. My brother's best friend, Fiasco's small-town princess, an honorary part of my family, the daughter of a deplorable businessman--she's the woman I swore to stay away from in a bargain I never wanted to make, and now . . . she's my wife.
Hadley's wild attitude and smart mouth have always been impossible to ignore. She's the only person who pushes every last shred of my resolve. When she peels off her clothes, shares her desires, and uses a nickname that will be my undoing, the chaos that led us here falls away.
There are a decade's worth of secrets and lies between us, but if we can both get what we want--I'll keep Foxx Bourbon, and she can escape the fallout from her father's sins--then none of that matters.
Before she was mine, I was fine protecting her from afar. It's never been about a happy ending or being her hero, but now, I crave both. Call it the Foxx curse or penance for my sins, but when all of it explodes and the lives of those I love are threatened, there are only two things I have left to bargain with: bourbon and proof.

Becoming Yourself: A Journey of Self-Discovery Using the Wisdom of the Enneagram
Know yourself better--and understand the people around you more fully--with a fresh, practical approach to the wisdom of the Enneagram from a top author in the field. "If you think something is missing in your life, it is probably more of the real you." The Enneagram is one of the most powerful self-awareness tools we can access for greater happiness, success, and fulfillment. But if we just identify our own "Ennea-Type" and its most overt characteristics--and we stop there--we're not tapping this powerful thought system's full potential. Enneagram expert Robert Holden wants us to have a fuller picture: not just to understand what our own Type means for us personally, but to see the people around us through the Enneagram's lens and navigate our lives by its light. Becoming Yourself is inviting and exciting, a rich and reader-friendly deep dive full of timeless wisdom and practical insight you can put to use in your life right now. In Becoming Yourself, you'll start by pinpointing your Enneagram Type, then you'll explore all 9 of the types in detail--since all their energies are present in all of us. Robert illuminates the essential characteristics of each Type: their core strengths and innate gifts; their ego drivers, fixations, and basic fears; the path of growth that connects them to the virtues of other Types; and more. On every page, you'll find insight and guidance to help you:- Thrive in your personal relationships
- Excel at work
- Improve your mental health
- Walk your spiritual path
- Live your purpose
"My aim with this book is to help you use the Enneagram to become yourself," Robert writes. "The Enneagram doesn't try to fix you or change you; it helps you to grow. It recognizes that your essential self is already whole, complete, and perfectly made." -
Sold outLost in the Summer of '69
Three generations of women, an unforgettable summer of music, and the epic cross-country road trip they'll never forget.
Summer, 1969. Eleanor Bell doesn't have anything to lose. According to her doctors, she might not remember how to sing or play guitar soon, so why not head west now? Why not join the music festivals sweeping the country and lose herself in the music again in a swan song of her own?
Except Eleanor forgets, maybe on purpose, to tell anyone where she's going. When her daughter, Leanne, discovers her mother missing, she enlists the help of her own daughter, Nora, to help her find Eleanor. The last thing Nora wants to do before starting as one of Yale's first female undergrads is hit the road. But then Nora hears her grandmother on the radio - singing. Nora and Leanne hop in their Lincoln Continental for a cross-country road trip, always one step behind Eleanor, who has been dubbed the Dame of Rock n' Roll by none other than Johnny Carson.
Full of nostalgia and awash with the warmth of summer, Lost in the Summer of '69 is an epic celebration of savoring the encore-no matter what the next act may bring.
