Murder at Timber Bridge by Kd Easley (1 print book) – Randi Black is overwhelmed. She’s the single mom of teenage twins, is battling a coworker with wandering hands, has just run into an ex boyfriend who wants to rekindle the old fire, and had to take a job working for her ex husband. What she doesn’t need right now is to get caught up in the middle of a murder investigation. As the body count rises, Randi is forced to uncover a killer, neutralize her stalker and get her sons to school on time. It’s almost more than a woman can handle.
Second Chances by Maria Savva (2 print books) – Told from the perspective of both the husband and wife, Second Chances is a story of a relationship breaking down. Many will relate to the emotions felt by the couple as they try to work through their problems caused by years of silence where there should have been words. Although dealing with a serious subject, Second Chances is an uplifting and, in parts, a very humorous read.

As an added bonus, she and Tessa come to adore each other. But like all things too good to be true, she discovers her perfect stud may be a perfectly deceptive dud.
Nexus Point by Jaleta Clegg (4 e-book copies) – Stranded on a primitive world, betrayed by her crew, facing death at the hands of the natives, hunted by drug smugglers, Captain Dace has one hope of rescue – convince the Patrol agent trying to kill her that she’s innocent.
Madness and Murder by Jenny Hilborne (2 e-book copies) – Frustrated by the rising body count and lack of evidence, veteran homicide detective, Mac Jackson, questions his own ethics when he risks the life of an innocent young woman to trap a cunning and sadistic serial killer.

Jessica Croft, withdrawn, vulnerable and emotionally scarred, moves from Sacramento to begin a new life in San Francisco with her twin brother, Judd. Her chance for happiness is short-lived when she suddenly finds herself the target of a relentless madman with a deadly agenda.
