The business trip by Jessie Garcia
Stephanie and Jasmine have nothing and everything in common. The two women don’t know each other but are on the same plane. Stephanie is on a business trip and Jasmine is fleeing an abusive relationship. After a few days, they text their friends the same exact messages about the same man–the messages becoming stranger and more erratic. And then the two women vanish. The texts go silent, the red flags go up, and the panic sets in. When Stephanie and Jasmine are each declared missing and in danger, it begs the questions: Who is Trent McCarthy? What did he do to these women–or what did they do to him?

And what happened to Rintaro, the socially withdrawn hero who helped Tiger save books in a secondhand bookshop?
Bridal shower murder by Leslie Meier
Lucy Stone is thrilled about her youngest daughter Zoe’s engagement to Chad, a rising minor league baseball player with dreamy eyes and plenty of Southern charm. Yet there’s no denying the whirlwind romance has turned Lucy’s life upside down in more ways than one–especially when she learns about Chad’s complicated background and close ties to Tinker’s Cove. The secrets and rumors are enough to send her investigative reporting instincts into overdrive. Trouble really crashes in the moment Lucy meets her in-laws-to-be, Penny and Nate Nettleton. Persuasive Penny proves to be intent on taking over wedding preparations–even arranging a Tuscan-themed bridal shower before Zoe publicly announces her engagement. It’s a shock when the event goes off without a hitch. But the real shock comes when prominent guest Hetty Furness, the head of the Tinker’s Cove Historical Society, goes missing–only to be found dead, the victim of a brutal murder.

She never expected to run into the heartbreaker from her past when she rents a small house near Tony’s Manhattan apartment while taking voice lessons. But when they reconnect, they can’t help but give in to unforgettable passion. As their relationship blossoms, deadly figures from Tony’s past come back to exact revenge, and he’ll do anything to protect Odalie…even bring her back home to her family ranch in Texas. But as Odalie struggles with the idea of leaving behind her dreams in the city to have true love in Texas, she finds herself caught in the ultimate trap–and Tony’s past won’t let them go.
