Historian Jefferson Kearns doesn’t believe in time travel—until he’s sent to Victorian London to stop a killer history says can’t be caught. When the secretive Aevum Corporation launches Jefferson into London, 1888, his mission is simple: rescue his former colleague—and lost love—Parker. But the fog-choked streets of the East End are already gripped by fear, and Jack the Ripper is hunting. As the murders escalate, Jefferson and Parker are drawn into a desperate race against time. To save her, Jefferson must confront impossible science, timeless corruption, and a killer who always seems one step ahead. As timelines blur and bodies fall, Jefferson must gamble his faith in reason on a single, irreversible decision—before their world is erased forever.

Small-town managing editor Becket Thompson is barely holding his newsroom together. Layoffs. Budget cuts. A publisher looking for an excuse to fire him. And a woman he loves but can’t bring himself to pursue before she walks away forever. Then three armed men storm the building. Claiming they want “the truth” printed about their president, the gunmen issue an ultimatum: run their manifesto—or watch staff members die. As tensions rise and loyalties fracture, Becket must uncover what the gunmen really want before they trigger a tragedy that will echo far beyond the Press’s front page. “An exhilarating thriller anchored by a likable hero… intriguing mystery, exciting thriller, and overall satisfying read.” —Kirkus Reviews

Two women enter the wilderness. Only one of them knows the truth. And someone out there wants both of them dead. Best friends Kate Johnston and Veronica Hammond escape to Yosemite’s backcountry to forget the men who have derailed their lives—Kate’s controlling ex and Veronica’s ruthless soon-to-be-ex-husband, who built a tech empire with her and is now trying to cut her out. What’s supposed to be a healing weekend quickly curdles into unease: a pair of aggressive campers who won’t take no for an answer … a handsome stranger whose past feels unnervingly familiar … and the chilling sense that someone is following them. When violence erupts, the women are thrust into a terrifying game of cat and mouse. Every trail offers danger. Every man they meet could be a threat. And every buried secret they’ve tried to outrun is suddenly a weapon that can be used against them. Kirkus Reviews calls Yosemite Lies “a riveting tale about friendship and betrayal… a lot of intriguing twists and turns, and the big reveal is a shocking one.”

A Southern widow seeking a new beginning. A Union soldier trying to outrun his past. A thousand-mile journey that will test every belief they hold. After the Civil War shatters her life, Annabelle Rutledge leaves Charleston with her remaining family, determined to build a future in the goldfields of Montana. Guiding them is Josey Angel, a quiet, battle-scarred Union cavalryman with a deadly reputation he never asked for. As storms, disease, and hostile terrain take their toll, the two form a bond born of shared grief and grit—until a shocking revelation from Annabelle’s past threatens to tear their fragile trust apart. When violence erupts, Annabelle and Josey must rely on courage, loyalty, and each other if they hope to survive a confrontation that will change all their lives. Kirkus Reviews calls Trail Angel “a timeless tale of love and adventure on the American frontier… affectingly written, composed with emotional intelligence and historical insight.”

She crossed a continent for love. He fought a war for redemption. Now a rising Lakota war leader will challenge everything they believe about honor, survival, and each other. As Annabelle Rutledge and Josey Angel begin a new life in the Montana goldfields, the frontier offers no peace. A band of Lakota warriors strikes the wagon road, and Annabelle is taken captive by Crazy Horse, a gifted young fighter torn between his people’s desperate struggle and the unrequited love haunting him. Josey is determined to save her, but treachery within the army threatens every step he takes. At Fort Phil Kearny, the seeds of a military disaster are quietly being sown. When Annabelle uncovers a plot that would turn her release into a massacre, she must escape before the fort—and everyone she loves—falls to a blood-soaked fate. From the wagon roads of the Powder River to the snowy killing ground of the Fetterman Massacre, Angel Falls is a sweeping tale of love, war, and the hard choices that shape a nation. This is the second book in a series Kirkus Reviews calls “a timeless tale of love and adventure on the American frontier.”

They survived war, captivity, and the unforgiving frontier. Now peace may be the most dangerous test of all. Josey and Annabelle Angel have carved out a life worth fighting for in Montana Territory when a series of brutal murders threatens to shatter treaty negotiations. The army blames Crazy Horse, the Lakota warrior who once held Annabelle captive. Josey knows better and must find Crazy Horse before war ignites again. But “the Angel of Death” has many enemies, and not all of them are Sioux. As Josey rides into the heart of danger, Annabelle faces threats of her own from a scientist whose “research” defies all decency. All forces converge in a violent showdown on the final days of the Bozeman Trail. To save their family, Annabelle and Josey will need more than their fast rifles and hard-won courage. They’ll need to decide who they are in a land that forces every soul to choose between vengeance … and grace.
