The Protective One by Shelley Shepard Gray
Call Number: F-GRA - MUCL Barcode: 20006700 - ISBN: 1982100915 Publisher's Description: Sequel to: The loyal one. Shelley
Shepard Gray weaves a moving and unforgettable exploration of love and
friendship. The tragic and untimely death of an old friend has made
Elizabeth Anne rethink not only her priorities but her courtship with
David, her longtime neighbor and suitor. Though he's Mennonite like
herself and has her parents' approval, she feels that a spark is
missing. Desperate for a change, she breaks things off -- wondering if,
perhaps, she's the one who's missing a spark. When her family becomes
upset with her decision, E.A. turns to her friends for support. One of
them is Will, a man with a good heart who has always been there for her.
As the two bond over their shared struggle to navigate a future that
everyone else seems to have figured out, they are surprised to realize
that they have feelings for each other. But E.A.'s world takes a sudden
turn when she realizes that she's not the only one struggling -- Marta,
one of her sewing students, is in desperate need of protection. With the
aid of Will and several other friends, Elizabeth Anne begins a journey
that is more difficult and rewarding than she could have ever imagined... one that ultimately enables her to find everything she's been
searching for. In this latest installment in the Walnut Creek series,
Shelley Shepard Gray pens a powerful and poignant tale of friendship,
courage, and love. Includes reader questions |
Deep in the Alaskan Woods by Karen Harper

The surrounding forest can be harsh and unforgiving--luckily, rugged wilderness tracker Quinn Mantell offers to be her guide. Still recovering from a toxic previous relationship, Alex is wary of getting too close, but when savagely deep claw marks appear outside her bedroom window, keeping her distance from Quinn is no longer an option. Then a body turns up exhibiting the same ruthless slash marks, and Alex knows it isn't a coincidence. Something sinister is lurking in the woods around Falls Lake, turning Alex's fresh start into a brutal game of survival. The murky veil of forest offers more threats than answers. Can Alex and Quinn find the killer before darkness falls for good? |
Fair Warning by Michael Connelly
Call Number: F-CON - MUCL Barcode: 20006698 - ISBN: 9780316539425 Veteran reporter Jack McEvoy has taken down killers before, but when a woman he had a one-night stand with is murdered in a particularly brutal way, McEvoy realizes he might be facing a criminal mind unlike any he's ever encountered. McEvoy investigates -- against the warnings of the police and his own editor -- and makes a shocking discovery that connects the crime to other mysterious deaths across the country. But his inquiry hits a snag when he himself becomes a suspect. As he races to clear his name, McEvoy's findings point to a serial killer working under the radar of law enforcement for years, and using personal data shared by the victims themselves to select and hunt his targets. |

Vernon King, his son, and son-in-law are involved in a terrible

income must come from the family greenhouse, but someone seems to be
trying to force them out of business. Amy King has just lost her father
and brother, and her mother needs her to help run the family's
greenhouse. It doesn't seem fair to ask her to leave a job she loves,
when there is still a sister and brother to help. But Sylvia is also
grieving for her husband while left to raise three children, and Henry,
just out of school, is saddled with all the jobs his father and older
brother used to do. As Amy assumes her new role, she also asks Jared
Riehl to put their courtship on hold. When things become even more
stressful at the greenhouse, will Amy crumble under the pressure?" Includes recipe and discussion questions. |
