About The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides.

Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word.

Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London.

Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him….

About The Housemaid by Freida McFadden.

“Welcome to the family,” Nina Winchester says as I shake her elegant, manicured hand. I smile politely, gazing around the marble hallway. Working here is my last chance to start fresh. I can pretend to be whoever I like. But I’ll soon learn that the Winchesters’ secrets are far more dangerous than my own…

Every day I clean the Winchesters’ beautiful house top to bottom. I collect their daughter from school. And I cook a delicious meal for the whole family before heading up to eat alone in my tiny room on the top floor.

I try to ignore how Nina makes a mess just to watch me clean it up. How she tells strange lies about her own daughter. And how her husband Andrew seems more broken every day. But as I look into Andrew’s handsome brown eyes, so full of pain, it’s hard not to imagine what it would be like to live Nina’s life. The walk-in closet, the fancy car, the perfect husband.

I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out… and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late.

But I reassure myself: the Winchesters don’t know who I really am.

They don’t know what I’m capable of…

When you’re the son of an infamous serial killer, the police will always see you as a suspect…

Ariana and Damon thought it was bad enough that their home burned to the ground. But when bodies are unearthed on their property, the police pin them as suspects — and their world turns upside down.

Damon has always been haunted by his father’s past, but more than ever before, being Cal Jones’s son is an even bigger burden to bear. Worse yet, his wife is getting dragged through the mud along with him.

Can Damon prove their innocence, or will his father’s legacy finally destroy everything Damon and Ariana have worked so hard to build?

How many secrets can one gated community hide?

Ariana and Damon have just started to rebuild their lives when more bones are found in their tight-knit neighborhood. These have nothing to do with the remains found earlier. 

That means one thing — another killer is roaming free. 

The police are investigating, but Ariana’s friend Maya has discovered startling clues that she can’t tell them. But when Ariana’s own family is in crisis, she can’t worry about what might be unraveling all around them… until the mystery proves too much to ignore and the only way to peace is to find answers.

A neighbor is lying about something. Ariana must hurry to get to the bottom of it before another life ends up on the line.

Ariana and Damon are thrilled for a getaway weekend to celebrate their friends’ new life together. Everything is smooth sailing until strange things start happening… Unexplained noises. People feeling watchful eyes when alone. Mysterious threats.

Then a member of the wedding party goes missing. 

Everybody must work together to find their friend. But who can they trust? Any of them could be behind the disappearance… or it could be someone who came without an invitation. Either way, they’re dealing with a desperate person who will stop at nothing to end the marriage before it even begins.

Ariana is determined to find answers before anyone else vanishes…

Excerpt

A girl who looked just like Ariana from behind walked away with a balding man in a jean jacket. She had the same blueish-green colored jacket. The same ponytail, too.

It was Ariana.

“No!” Alex burst into a run, terror seizing him.

What was Ari doing? Hadn’t anyone taught her to stay away from strangers?

“Ariana! Stop!” he called.

The man led her around a corner up ahead. It may as well have been miles away.

“Stop them!” Alex shouted.

No one noticed his yelling. Or the man walking away with Ariana.

His throat closed. He forced his legs to move faster. Everything moved too slowly, except for that man and Ariana.

Alex’s pulse raced, making it hard to breathe. He rounded the same corner they had, but now they were out of sight.They could have gone anywhere—the arcade, the food court, or even outside.

His stomach twisted in tight knots. Beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.

He ran over to the man selling tickets. “Did you see a little girl about this high,”—he held his hand to his side, just below his chest—“with dark brown hair full of sparkles?”

“Maybe.” He played with his goatee. “Not sure.”

Alex ran to the arcade and glanced around. No little girls.

He ran outside. Thankfully the bright overhead lights made it easy enough to scan the parking lot.

There they were.

At the far end of the parking lot, Ariana held up her phone as if showing him something on the screen.

“Ari!” he screamed, his voice cutting his throat. “Ariana!”

Neither seemed to hear him.

He burst into a run, his heart pounding against his ribcage. Alex had to dart around parked cars, but finally he neared them. He could see Ari’s profile—it was definitely her.

“Ariana!” He was so close, yet so far. He continued running.

She turned.

The man wrapped an arm around her.

“Help!” Ari called, fear in her eyes.

The man covered her mouth, hoisted her up, and ran.

Alex’s blood turned cold. “Stop!”

He didn’t. In fact, he ran around the corner of the building.

Alex caught up just in time to see the man stuff Ariana into a black SUV. The man jumped inside and slammed the door shut.

Pulse drumming in his ears, Alex ran faster. He got closer to the vehicle, and closer still.

He reached for the door.

The SUV squealed away just as his hand grasped air rather than the handle.

After multiple failed efforts to get his novel published in New York, Zachary Hunter is counting on a trip home to turn his luck around. What he doesn’t expect is for it to turn his life upside down.
​
Jasmine Blackwell has big dreams. She hopes her internship as a dance instructor in Kittle Falls will be the stepping stone she needs to achieve her lifelong goals. Instead, it will threaten to destroy everything.
​
After a chance meeting, neither Zachary nor Jasmine can deny their attraction. But when her past comes back to haunt her, she could lose it all. Will the seemingly unsurmountable obstacles be the end of all of her dreams?
​
Not if Jasmine has anything to say about it.

Excerpt

Zachary promptly washed the blood off his hands and then splashed cold water all over his face. He stared at his reflection, almost startled at what he saw. It hadn’t been so long ago that his features showed his once carefree spirit. Now he had a permanent frown, several days’ worth of stubble, and dark bands under his eyes. Even his brown eyes seemed darker.

Zachary shook out his hands, trying to work out some of the pain. It had been a stupid idea to workout with his brother.

Brayden was a cardiologist, and as a result, was in perfect shape since heart health was always on his mind. Zachary, on the other hand, hadn’t so much as looked at a gym in the last year. Probably longer. He sat at a desk writing all day, ignoring his muscles.

Now his body ached from head to toe. But, at the same time, his muscles felt good just from a little use. Maybe he would take up Brayden’s offer to workout together a few times a week. He’d planned on backing out after this trial session. But it could be just what Zachary needed.

He grabbed a stack of paper towels for cleaning his mess, and went out into the hallway. As soon as he did, he ran right into someone.

“I’m sorry,” Zachary said. “I wasn’t looking.”

“No, it was my fault.” A pretty girl with brownish-red hair turned around and smiled at him.

He quickly hid his bruised hands behind his back. “Not at all.”

Her bright eyes shone as her mouth continued to curve upward, and she held his gaze. “I wasn’t paying attention. I’m heading to class.”

“Ballet?” Zachary asked, noting her leotard. The style reminded him of the one Sophia, his late sister, had worn when she took dance lessons.

She nodded, pulling her long hair into a bun behind her head, securing it with a bright yellow band. “I’m teaching ballet to a bunch of silly girls.”

A little girl in a tutu ran in between them, giggling.

“And that’s one of them. Hey, Emma—slow down!”

“I will, Miss Jasmine!” the girl called. She spun around and crashed into another little girl in a tutu. Both girls fell to the floor and burst into tears as they landed.

Jasmine shook her head, sighing. “I’d better get going. Sorry again for crashing into you.” She ran after the kids.

“It was my fault,” Zachary called, but he doubted she’d heard him.

He watched Jasmine as she helped up the crying girls and got them laughing in a matter of moments.

She dusted one off and spoke animatedly, keeping them in giggles.

Zachary admired her optimism. He’d once been like that. There was a time he would have wanted to have a girlfriend like her. But with his current state of mind, he would probably suck all her happiness away. Not that he even had time or the energy for another relationship. Especially after the way things had ended with Monica.

***
Jasmine Blackwell put the broom away after sweeping the dance floor. Even though she didn’t allow food in her classroom, crumbs always found their way onto her floor. She glanced over the room to make sure it was pristine for the next class. Everything seemed better than it had when she had come in. Not even a stray hair remained on the floor.

She walked over to the window to get her dance bag and her purse, but stopped when she saw who sat outside.

On a bench rested the same guy who had bumped into her earlier in the hall. He was reading a tablet, but his face scrunched up like he didn’t enjoy it. It was time to leave so she could punch her time card, but she wanted to keep watching him. There was something dark and mysterious about him.

Jasmine had hardly been able to look away from him after they had bumped into each other. He was gorgeous, despite being all sweaty. Maybe the sweat made him even more attractive, but either way, he was far better looking than anyone she’d seen in a long time. Even just sitting on the bench, unhappy, he was handsome.

Part of her wanted to go out there and strike up a conversation, but she had to get going. She was supposed to meet her roommate for dinner before hitting the nightly concert on the beach.

If she chose to chat up the hot guy, though, Kate would surely understand.

“Still here?” came a voice from behind.

Jasmine turned around, cheeks heating up. “I, uh, yeah. Just grabbing my stuff.”

5 Christmas reads to get you in the holiday spirit

It’s that time of year again! Sometimes it can be hard to get into the festivities, but if you turn on some Christmas music and curl up with some of these books, you’ll find your holiday cheer in no time!

My dream is at my fingertips. But there’s a catch. A big one…

Ripple

I’ve always wanted to open an animal rescue. My problem is the facility I need to buy is being held hostage by an out of touch owner who demands the buyer be married.

That means I need a fiancé — and fast. Otherwise I may have to give up my goal of helping animals. Or worse yet, move away from my life-long best friend Santiago because I’ll have nothing left to keep me in my hometown. And I can’t do that.

Santiago

When Ripple asks me to be her fake fiancé for an evening, I’m more than happy to help. I’d do anything for her. What I don’t expect is the magnitude of feelings that explode within me when I touch her hand or when she flashes her brilliant smile in my direction.

I promise myself I can get through just one night. Except it turns into something much more… And when we end up snowed in together, it’s all too much to take. If I tell her how I really feel, I risk losing my closest friend, and I’m not sure I could survive.

Read ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS EWE today!

Skye Lenox has always been a bit of a free spirit, so accepting a temp position across the country on Fireweed Island isn’t much of a stretch. But when she shows up to a grumpy boss who is eerily similar to Scrooge, she wonders if she made a mistake. Something she would hate to admit to her parents and sister.

But as the sparks fly between Skye and her new boss, she realizes the sparks are the wrong kind, and she can’t believe how irresistibly grumpy he is. So, she decides to make this Christmas count and show him what acting like a decent human being is all about before she has to leave.

Levi Adams knows he is taking a chance when he hires a graphic artist from the other side of the country. He just never expects Skye to turn his world upside down for the holidays.

Skye calls him her grumpy boss, which tends to make him smile. But Levi vows not to fall for his new hire, even if it means he’s miserable being around her because the one thing he knows is that he’s terrible at love.

Read FOREVER CHRISTMAS ON SUGAR PLUM LANE today!

If someone tells you that waiting for your boyfriend in a giant stocking is a good idea, they’re WRONG.

I learn this the hard way when I discover my boyfriend is cheating on me.

Once again, I find myself crying on the very broad and sturdy shoulders of my best friend, Weston.

And even though he rejected me when we were kids, my feelings for Weston start bubbling back to the surface.

Especially when he insists that we work our way through the list of twelve holidates I had planned for my ex.

Twelve dates with my super hot and totally perfect BFF? Um, okay. You don’t have to ask me twice!

Only… the dates continue to be disasters.

The biggest disaster of all is the way I’m about to get my heart crushed AGAIN by my best friend.

Because I can’t hide my feelings anymore, and I don’t think being just friends is enough.

Winning over Weston would take a Christmas miracle …

Read THE TWELVE HOLIDATES today!

He can’t stand her. She thinks he’s crazy. Will their feelings stay etched in permanent ink?

Cruz Hunter has always stuck out in his small hometown. Now that he’s covered in tattoos, the residents peg him as even more of an outcast. It seems like the whole world is against his dream of opening a local tattoo parlor.

When he finally finds the perfect place for his new business, Cruz discovers a pastor and his daughter have already bought it. The only thing more irritating than the change in his plan is Talia, a beautiful and feisty argument in a dress. Cruz would like nothing more than to have her out of his life and his mind, but for some reason, she’s the only thing he can think about.

If Cruz and Talia can stop arguing long enough, opposites may do much more than attract.

Read SEASIDE CHRISTMAS today!

He broke her heart. She never moved on. Can the magic of Christmas bring them back together?

Judy Rivera has kept busy with college life, but she never forgot Gary Hunter. She’d really thought he was “the one” but was obviously wrong—she hadn’t seen or heard from him since the day he walked out of her life. When he walks back into it, more gorgeous than ever, she’s shocked. And embarrassed. Her only recourse is to pretend not to notice. And then not to care.

Gary Hunter hasn’t stopped regretting the day he stormed away from Judy after a stupid argument then moved out of state. When he returns, hoping they might work things out, he finds her more confident and beautiful than ever. When he sees her in the arms of another man, he fears he’s too late. But he’s determined to win back her affections.

Little does he know her date is the least of the obstacles they have to overcome.
