Sold outScarlett Undone
A riveting book club novel of secrets, redemption, and unexpected connection. Perfect for fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid, Kristin Hannah, and Jojo Moyes.
Her father died in prison. She's hidden her identity for most of her life. Until now.
Scarlett vowed she'd never step foot in Brackson prison again. Yet here she is, back in her hometown, dragging disgruntled dogs into the hell her father once called home.
The Pups in Prison rehabilitation program is her uncle's passion, but his recent heart attack means he's laid up and she's filling in. She's surrounded by inked necks and barbed wire...and awful memories she can't shake.
She didn't expect to find solace in an unexpected prisoner.
Emery is intense yet kind. Strangely intuitive. She shouldn't look forward to their dog-training sessions, even if this alluring inmate shines a light on parts of herself she thought she hated.
But when she discovers why he was incarcerated and violence hits too close to home, Scarlett's forced to face that forgiveness is more than spoken words and that coming undone is the first step to stitching yourself back together.

Our Friendship in Ruins
Three months, two friends, and one chance to see if "just one time" can turn into more.
Quinn Riley loves three things in this world. The city of Rome, whose complicated history rivals her own; her career counseling job at Billings College, despite toxic campus dynamics; and her best friend, Colton-even if she's fighting a nagging thrum of attraction between them.
When she has the chance to combine all three loves-working on the same study abroad program that Colton's set to teach in-she can't pass it up. Unfortunately, the professors have turned what should be the summer of a lifetime into a test. If she fails, they plan to pass a new policy that will ruin her beloved job. It's an uphill battle, but Quinn's too stubborn to fail.
Colton Miller has never failed at anything. But when Quinn is being decimated by his colleagues, he can't help but stand up for her, even when it lands him in the middle of the ongoing faculty vs. staff feud. Now, in order to secure the tenured position he desperately needs, this summer has to go perfectly. That means ignoring how devastatingly in love with Quinn he's been for over a decade.
But when the two get to Rome, everything shifts. Their shared apartment feels smaller with each charged moment. Those casual touches that have defined their friendship don't feel so friendly anymore. And that "just one time" is anything but. With delectable food, flowing wine, and enough PDA around to turn anyone's mind to romance, the two question if finding forever with their best friend is worth the things they could lose in the process.

Recently widowed, Adam has more to protect than the leafy residents of Green-Wood. His children, still dealing with the loss of their mother, are acting strangely.

As Jess and Adam delve deeper into the cemetery's haunted history, they uncover a Gilded Age curse, a ghostly socialite, and a demonic pact that stretches across generations. What lies hidden in the Green-Wood's splendid Vanderwilt mausoleum? As the line between the living and the dead blurs, and the shadows of Green-Wood begin to stir with malevolent intent, Jess must confront not only the supernatural forces but a shocking connection to the past if she and Adam truly want to live happily ever after. -

Bearing Witness: Churches Caring for Migrants and Refugees
Bearing Witness tells the story of churches in downtown Istanbul have been caring for migrants and refugees for 34 years; it tells the story of the courage and resilience of the refugees they serve; and it bears witness to the faithfulness of God who is with us, who cares for refugees and shares their suffering. The stories here are a part of the bigger story of God, his work in the world, and his call on his people to bear witness to him. The presence of God in a tiny garden office in downtown Istanbul has made it a sacred space.
In our current world of chaos, as we witness cruelty meted out to strangers in our midst, these stories need to be heard. In a single decade the number of people displaced from their homes has more than doubled, increasing from 60 million to 120 million. Nations build walls to keep out refugees and migrants; governments and political parties retreat to nationalism and nativism. The Church has a different mandate.
Bearing Witness is a call to the global church, to followers of Jesus everywhere, to see and serve refugees and migrants, widows and orphans, the hungry, the poor, and the prisoner in obedience to his command and in response to his love.

King Sorrow
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill, a chilling tale of modern-world dangers, dark academia, and the unexpected consequences of revenge as six friends dabble in the occult and are tragically, horrifyingly successful... calling forth an evil entity that demands regular human sacrifice.
"A brilliantly Faustian fable with a heart as huge as a dragon's, and a stinging twist in its tail. I devoured it." --Ruth Ware, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in Suite 11
Arthur Oakes is a reader, a dreamer, and a student at Rackham College, Maine, renowned for its frosty winters, exceptional library, and beautiful buildings. But his idyll--and burgeoning romance with Gwen Underfoot--is shattered when a local drug dealer and her partner corner him into one of the worst crimes he can imagine: stealing rare books from the college library.
Trapped and desperate, Arthur turns to his closest friends for comfort and help. Together they dream up a wild, fantastical scheme to free Arthur from the cruel trap in which he finds himself. Wealthy, irrepressible Colin Wren suggests using the unnerving Crane journal (bound in the skin of its author) to summon a dragon to do their bidding. The others--brave, beautiful Alison Shiner; the battling twins Donna and Donovan McBride; and brainy, bold Gwen--don't hesitate to join Colin in an effort to smash reality and bring a creature of the impossible into our world.
But there's nothing simple about dealing with dragons, and their pact to save Arthur becomes a terrifying bargain in which the six must choose a new sacrifice for King Sorrow every year--or become his next meal.
