Sisters by Choice: A Novel
Book 4
From the New York Times bestselling author of California Girls comes an all new original Blackberry Island novel told with Susan Mallery’s trademark humor and charm. Sisters by Choice is a heartfelt tale of love, family and the friendships that see us through.

Cousins by chance, sisters by choice…

After her cat toy empire goes up in flames, Sophie Lane returns to Blackberry Island, determined to rebuild. Until small-town life reveals a big problem: she can’t grow unless she learns to let go. If Sophie relaxes her grip even a little, she might lose everything. Or she might finally be free to reach for the happiness and love that have eluded her for so long.

Kristine has become defined by her relationship to others. She’s a wife, a mom. As much as she adores her husband and sons, she wants something for herself—a sweet little bakery just off the waterfront. She knew changing the rules wouldn’t be easy, but she never imagined she might have to choose between her marriage and her dreams.

Like the mainland on the horizon, Heather’s goals seem beyond her grasp. Every time she manages to save for college, her mother has another crisis. Can she break free, or will she be trapped in this tiny life forever?

Three Sisters
Book 2
In this heartwarming and celebrated Blackberry Island novel, New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery introduces us to three women whose friendship is about to change their lives forever.

After Andi Gordon is jilted at the altar, she makes an impetuous decision—buying one of the famed Three Sisters on Blackberry Island. Now the proudish owner of the ugly duckling of the trio of Queen Anne houses, her life is just as badly in need of a major renovation as her new home.

When Deanna Phillips confronts her husband about a suspected affair, she opens up a Pandora's Box of unhappiness. In her quest to be the perfect woman, she's lost herself…and could lose her entire family if things don't change.

Next door, artist Boston King thought she and her college sweetheart would be married forever. But after tragedy strikes, she's not so sure. Now it's time for them to move forward, with or without one another.

Thrown together by fate and geography, and bound by the strongest of friendships, these three women will discover what they're truly made of: laughter, tears and love.

SOMETHING STRANGE WAS IN THE MISTS OF FERNHAVEN

A mantle of mystery had closed in on Elizabeth Blackstone. An inexplicable—unnatural—sensation of being watched had stricken her ever since the accident that claimed her young son and nearly her, as well. Trapped in the depths of despair, she’d been experiencing gaps in her memory, hearing and seeing things that weren’t there…feeling even more frightening things. Her once-loving husband, Paul—a handsome, successful businessman—had become a grief-stricken stranger, who’d seemingly retreated from their marriage. But it was an impromptu excursion to the luxury hotel in Fernhaven that proved the true test of their bond….

Paul was desperate to save his wife from the edge of devastation or worse. Would his love be strong enough to overcome a sinister and inconceivable interloper?
Shadow Guardian
Book 3
THE BEAUTY…

He was the best in the business and Sadie Locke refused to settle for the protection of anyone other than Patricio Rodriguez. She was being stalked by a madman who wouldn’t rest until he’d succeeded in frightening her to death. And she was afraid he just might win….

AND THE BODYGUARD

His past prevented him from letting anyone in; his future was too unpredictable for him to fall for his famous client. Besides, Patricio had learned long ago that nothing good came from mixing business with pleasure. But the look in Sadie’s eyes tempted him to make the same mistake twice, damn the consequences.
THE BODYGUARD'S ASSIGNMENT
Amanda Stevens
THE MISSION: WITNESS PROTECTION

Brady Morgan's objective was clear: find Grace Drummond and keep her safe until she could testify. But Brady's past with the beautiful reporter was fraught with tension and desire. Seeing her again raised unanswered questions, including why she didn't want to be found.

Grace Drummond was between a rock and a hard place—and both were Brady Morgan! She was desperate to avoid testifying, but could she trust Brady with the reason? With a killer on their trail and passion boiling beneath the surface, Brady would need all his expertise to keep Grace alive—and in his arms…

TEXAS CONFIDENTIAL: By day, these agents are cowboys; by night they are specialized government operatives. Men bound by love, loyalty and the law—they've vowed to keep their missions and identities confidential…
Film at Eleven

WHEN EVERYONE IS WATCHING…

An impromptu appearance on Montana’s favorite morning talk show to promote her new book turned Dr. Molly Jameson’s quiet life upside down. And now the brainy beauty had become a media-savvy serial killer’s next target. Even worse, Montana’s golden boy, the infuriatingly handsome—and very off-limits—anchorman, Chandler Landry, was the only one she could turn to for protection.

Though a string of suspicious accidents proved Molly was in terrible danger, forging an intensely passionate relationship with Chandler seemed more frightening than being found by the madman who wanted her dead. But would Molly’s fleeting fifteen minutes of harrowing fame lead to a permanent future together with Chandler…or lead her straight to a killer?

Nick Pierce may have been reluctant to help her, but Katie was convinced the rugged pilot could track down her missing mother. Now, with a storm raging and Katie’s long-lost twin recovering back home, she and Nick had no choice but to journey through the icy wilderness, avoiding an unknown enemy tracking their every move…and an all-too-dangerous desire threatening to erupt.

Susan Mallery
New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery delivers her acclaimed story about how life—and love—can change in an instant.

Beth Davis's fairy-tale days are over…or so the single mother of two thinks. She suddenly finds herself on a date with her very own Prince Charming, millionaire bachelor Todd Graham. He's smart, sexy and very eligible—everything a woman could want in a man. But Beth's a suburban mom, and approaching forty… She's not sure if she's Cinderella material.

Todd was supposed to be raising money for charity, not auctioning off his heart, but he never expected to be so taken with his date. Something in Beth's smile captures the Texas tycoon's attention, and suddenly life as a bachelor seems less exciting than it used to. But they're worlds apart, and building a life with Beth isn't as simple as all that. Can these unlikely lovers find their courage—and the fairy-tale ending they deserve?
Golden in Death: An Eve Dallas Novel (In Death, Book 50)
Book 50
In the latest thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, homicide detective Eve Dallas investigates a murder with a mysterious motive—and a terrifying weapon.

Pediatrician Kent Abner received the package on a beautiful April morning. Inside was a cheap trinket, a golden egg that could be opened into two halves. When he pried it apart, highly toxic airborne fumes entered his body—and killed him.

After Eve Dallas calls the hazmat team—and undergoes testing to reassure both her and her husband that she hasn’t been exposed—it’s time to look into Dr. Abner’s past and relationships. Not every victim Eve encounters is an angel, but it seems that Abner came pretty close—though he did ruffle some feathers over the years by taking stands for the weak and defenseless. While the lab tries to identify the deadly toxin, Eve hunts for the sender. But when someone else dies in the same grisly manner, it becomes clear that she’s dealing with either a madman—or someone who has a hidden and elusive connection to both victims.

But he has other plans . . .
