SECRETS IN DARK WATERS
by Carla Cassdy

Intent on solving her mother’s murder, Monique Santori travels deep into the bayou in search of clues. Encountering Jacque LeBlanc is a surprise as he casts off his self-imposed seclusion to help Monique find the killer. When Monique is attacked in a bid to stop her sleuthing, she finds herself safe in Jacque’s home. Though Monique is unwaveringly drawn to the mysterious loner, she understands Jacque’s past is off limits. He’ll help her find answers, even protect her with his life, but she fears he’ll never give her what she truly desires.

KIDNAPPING IN HOPE TOWN
by Nicole Helm

Responding to a crime scene, Corporal Gardner Fairhurst is shocked to find his rebellious teenage niece shoplifting. He’s been Sammy’s guardian ever since her mother—his sister Dani —went missing. But rather than press charges, bakery manager Lia offers Sammy a job. She carries a secret that bonds her with the troubled teen. Now Gard must prioritize Sammy’s safety while he and Lia investigate Dani’s disappearance. When clues lead them into deadly danger­­—and unexpected romance—will Lia reveal her hidden past that could make them all a family?

CASCADE MOUNTAINS MANHUNT
by Janice Kay Johnson

A plane crash in rugged mountain terrain triggers a rescue mission headed by FBI agent Cameron Frasier.  He’d been investigating the pilot for drug trafficking, and Mara Dawson’s niece Brianna was a passenger. Mara had dated Cam, believing he was a deputy, so she suspects he was just using her as cover. But the urgency of rescuing Brianna forces Mara to set aside her mistrust… and her attraction to Cam. Because, presuming Bri survived, she’s in danger from armed gunmen searching for something hidden in the plane.  And Mara needs Cam’s skills to save her before time runs out.
