![]() ![]() The setting sun hung just above Shaw Mountain, named after Henry’s ancestors who’d settled the rich valley below. He poured himself a bourbon and looked out the small window above his work bench. Henry hated anything that interfered with his plans. ![]() God and women and disease had a way of interfering. Then Johnny had found Jesus and June and his career had gone to hell in a hand basket. Before Johnny had found religion, he’d been one kick-ass carouser. He plugged an old eight-track cassette into its player, and the deep, whiskey-rough voice of Johnny Cash filled the small tack shed. The red glow from a space heater touched the creases and folds of Henry Shaw’s face, while the nicker of his beloved Appaloosas called to him on the warm spring breeze. Late at night when my mind is quiet, I can still remember the scent of my mother’s skin and the texture of my father’s spiky crewcut, and I know that I have been blessed. With love to my mother and father, Al and Mary Reed. Returning home to Truly, Idaho, to attend the reading of her stepfather's will, pretty hairdresser Delaney Shaw finds herself back in the arms of the sexy, devil-may-care, motorcycle-riding Nick Allegrezza and sparks a scandal. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Roma knows it’s his fault for letting the ruthless Juliette back into his life, and he’s determined to set things right-even if that means killing the girl he hates and loves with equal measure. Roma is still reeling from Marshall’s death, and his cousin Benedikt will barely speak to him. If Juliette were actually guilty of the crime Roma believes she committed, his rejection might sting less. The only way to save the boy she loves from the wrath of the Scarlets is to have him want her dead for murdering his best friend in cold blood. One wrong move, and her cousin will step in to usurp her place as the Scarlet Gang’s heir. ![]() After sacrificing her relationship with Roma to protect him from the blood feud, Juliette has been a girl on a mission. Shanghai is under siege in this captivating and searingly romantic sequel to These Violent Delights, which New York Times bestselling author Natasha Ngan calls “deliciously dark.” The year is 1927, and Shanghai teeters on the edge of revolution. ![]() ![]() ![]() This sets up the tension of the story: should Lucky stay or should he go? He’s torn between his desire to help his sister and his desire to rely on his instincts and be independent. Bella asks Lucky to join them, but he yearns to be on his own, away from the pampered pets. While at the mall, Lucky meets his litter sister Bella, who has joined a group of Leashed Dogs, dogs who used to belong to the longpaws. As a repayment, he gets a bit of food that he desperately needs. Lucky runs into an old friend in a shopping mall and saves his life. The Big Growl has destroyed the city, leaving many dangers and little food or water. Lucky has always prided himself on being a Lone Dog, someone who has always been able to survive on his own, so he sets off independently, determined to survive in this city with no humans, known as longpaws. The other dogs aren’t so fortunate, and they die. Suddenly, The Big Growl comes, and with the help of Sweet, Lucky is freed from his cage in the Trap House. ![]() Lucky, a sheltie-retriever mix, wakes from a dream of his mother telling him the story of one of the battles from The Storm of Dogs.

In SURVIVORS, Erin Hunter, creator of the popular WARRIORS series, introduces us to a world of dogs rather than cats. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sebastian is in love with brilliant, beautiful Grace, but their bargain is complete, and she desires another. If only she hadn’t asked him to help her marry someone else. Between secret lessons on how to be a rogue and exaggerated public flirtations, Grace’s feelings for Sebastian grow from friendship into undeniable, inconvenient, real attraction. To further his own research on English society, Sebastian agrees to let Grace transform him from a bespectacled, bookish academic into a dashing - albeit fake - rake. ![]() Grace’s colleague, anthropologist Sebastian Holloway, is just the blank slate she requires. Her solution: to “build” the perfect man, who will court her publicly and help her catch his eye. But when a handsome, celebrated naturalist returns from abroad, Grace wishes, for once, to be noticed. Lady Grace Wyatt is content as a wallflower, focusing on scientific pursuits rather than the complications of society matches. In the first book in Eva Leigh's new Union of the Rakes series, a bluestocking enlists a faux suitor to help her land an ideal husband only to be blindsided by real desire. ![]() |
