Until a year ago, Lola Walker always felt comfortable in life--she was unlucky in love, but solid as part of Holt Lasher's team. But the past year has made her swear off women and shaken her faith in her ability to do her job. Getting cheated on, dumped, and almost getting your team killed will do that. But then a new threat is leveled against Holt and her family by a group of anonymous cyber criminals attempting to steal millions from unsuspecting online fantasy sports players. Lola goes undercover in L.A. to find them, intent on regaining her footing. And if she just happens to spend some time with the intriguing Dr. Quinn Golden? Well, it would be rude not to, even if she might be involved in the scheme. But when Quinn's life is in jeopardy will Lola have to watch helplessly as someone she loves gets ripped away from her once again?
We all have things in life we cannot change. Serenity is in the acceptance. Kit Marsden is proud that she's put her heroin use in the past.

Being labeled a mad scientist doesn't faze Bronte Scales. Accidentally gaining superpowers didn't even seem that strange. It's not until she realizes someone is out to get her and her do-it-yourself super tech invention, that she reluctantly becomes one part of a superpowered crime fighting team. Then things really get out of hand. And somewhere along the way she accidentally kidnaps a nurse--a smart, kind, and beautiful sort of nurse. Bronte's screwed. Athena Papadaki doesn't have superpowers, but she's scary good at squeezing everything she can from each waking minute. That feels heroic until she's kidnapped by a group of knuckleheads who need more rescuing than she does. Once she's done saving the day, she'll walk away and most certainly never think about Bronte Scales ever again. Nothing to see here. Can Bronte and Athena, and their unlikely friends, work together to defeat Bronte's arch archnemesis? The fate of love, humanity, and the world might depend on it. No pressure.
Grace Cook left her small hometown after high school with a free ride to college and a pulverized heart. Now, years later her father's death brings her back to town. As long as she can settle his affairs quickly and avoid interacting with Bonnie Whitlock, maybe she'll survive the trip. Bonnie was at Mr. Cook's bedside the night he died. She knows Grace Cook, the only woman she's ever loved, will be back in town for the funeral. Since Bonnie was the cause of Grace leaving all those years ago, the least she can do is let Grace mourn her father in peace. However, distance is impossible when the will is read and the Cook family house is left jointly to Bonnie and Grace. A cruel joke or a second chance at a love that was always meant to be? To find out, Bonnie and Grace must forgive their past selves and embrace the future together in the town that built them.
Nancy and Sam have no intention of playing nice. Each aims to win the bid for the abandoned Narragansett Island Lighthouse, and compromise isn't in the cards. It's preservation versus profit, but the lighthouse's dissatisfied governing board insists on better from both women. Ironically, a battered old book at the lighthouse just might provide the key to success. Inspiring parallels are discovered in the dog-eared pages: the struggles, dreams--and love--between two Danish women braving WWII's desperate days, guided by a valiant lighthouse they know well. The heroic tale could navigate Nancy and Sam to success, if they stop floundering long enough to see love coming to their rescue.
Black people have 3 problems: #1: Black people. #2 Black people. #3 White People. Most Black people have a complaint, but they do not give a solution. In this book, Dr. Jesse J. Lewis, a military veteran, owner of 17 businesses and a former cabinet member appointed under Alabama Governor George Wallace, walks readers through straightforward solutions to gaining unlimited success and prosperity as a once legally enslaved race of people in America. Lewis shares vivid memories of his humble beginnings growing up on a tenant farm in a tiny shotgun house in the South, being raised by his grandmother, then going on to earn five degrees, obtain personal and professional success while sharing his wealth and vision with countless others. Lewis believes that everyone should have every opportunity to share in the American Dream and he is fairly convinced that when Black people are born they are born at a disadvantage. Lewis has lived the story of a thousand men in his lifetime and his book, filled with practical advice, criticisms, and discontent, is meant to be helpful and supportive of black people.

Klaw brings with him a powerful army of super-powered mercenaries, all hell-bent on raining death and destruction on this pristine land.
