Trust Me


Book Description

New York Times–Bestselling Author: A woman vows never to be a victim again in this romantic suspense novel that “generates genuine thrills” (Publishers Weekly). She won’t be a victim ever again . . . Four years ago, Skye Kellerman was attacked in her own bed. She managed to fend off her knife-wielding assailant, but the trauma changed everything about her life. As a result of that night, she joined two friends—also survivors—in starting The Last Stand, an organization to help victims of crime. Now, Skye’s would-be rapist is getting out of prison. She knows that he hasn’t forgotten that her testimony cost him his reputation—and his freedom. Sacramento detective David Willis, who investigated her case, believes this man is a clear and present danger, guilty of other crimes, as well. And he’s free to terrorize Skye again. Unless she can fight back. And, with David’s help, that’s exactly what she plans to do . . . “Nonstop suspense at its very best.” —Carla Neggers, New York Times–bestselling author of Rival’s Break “Novak is simply a great storyteller.” —Allison Brennan, New York Times–bestselling author of Don’t Open the Door




Finding Our Forever


Book Description

New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak welcomes readers to the town of Silver Springs, where surprises wait around every corner! The search for her birth mother brought Cora Kelly to the New Horizons Boys Ranch. Getting a job there was easy enough, but confiding in Aiyana, the ranch's owner, that she's really her daughter? Cora's not sure she can do that, not unless she's confident the news will be welcomed. And once she gets to know Elijah Turner—Aiyana's adopted son and ranch manager—that decision becomes even more difficult. Although Elijah can't deny his deep attraction to Cora, he's always struggled with trust. Anyone with his past would, and there's something about the ranch's newest employee that isn't exactly as it seems. But if the feelings she awakes in his guarded heart are any indication, she might be just what he's long been waiting for.




Dead Giveaway


Book Description

New York Times–Bestselling Author: A police detective comes home to Mississippi to make a new start—but soon finds herself pulled into an old mystery . . . Every town has its secrets—and Stillwater, Mississippi, has more than most. Starting with the disappearance of the Reverend Lee Barker nineteen years ago. The locals are convinced he was murdered by his stepson, Clay Montgomery. But only Clay—and his mother and sisters—can say for sure. They were the only ones there that fateful night, the only ones who know what really happened. And they’re not talking. Allie McCormick is a cold-case detective from Chicago. After a particularly difficult divorce, she’s returned to Stillwater with her six-year-old daughter to find the peace she once knew in her hometown, and to work for the local police force while she’s starting over. But when Clay’s powerful enemies join forces to put him behind bars, Allie feels duty bound to uncover the truth. Her instincts tell her he didn’t murder the Reverend Lee Barker. Clay may be a dark and brooding man, but he was just sixteen at the time. And he’s not a cold-blooded killer. At least, that’s what Allie believes—until she learns that behind the preacher’s pious demeanor lurked the heart of a monster. Then she has to ask herself whether justice has already been done . . .
