When no one wants to hear the truth—how far would you go to make them listen?

Cassidy Clarke never planned to chase killers. Her true-crime podcast, Mysteries Uncorked, started as a side project—just three friends, a few glasses of wine, and unsolved cases that fascinated them. But when their audience explodes, the women decide to go on location for their next story: the disappearance of a young woman from a coastal inn in Maine.

For Cassidy, the case hits close to home. The missing woman was last seen at the Stonecross Inn—run by the grandmother she’s never met. Ellen Clarke makes one thing clear when they arrive: she doesn’t want them there. But the microphones are already live, and the listeners are hooked.

As Cassidy and Tessa dig deeper, they uncover whispers of other women who came to Stonecross and never left. The locals refuse to talk. And Ellen knows far more than she’ll say.

Then another woman vanishes. Cassidy’s podcast goes viral, and someone decides it’s time to cut her mic for good.

A chilling, addictive psychological thriller from a #1 NYT Bestselling Author about ambition, small town secrets, and the stories that refuse to stay silent. This female-led psychological thriller follows a woman who investigates an unanswered mystery while challenging a powerful small-town establishment. Perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Laura Dave, Freida McFadden, and Lisa Jewell.

Her daughter set her up on a dating app.
Her first match turned into her first TV client.
Now the cameras—and her heart—are rolling.

After her husband’s betrayal, single mom Lila Morgan built a safe life in Willet Cove: raising her daughter, running her design studio, and keeping her heart off-limits. Love wasn’t part of the plan. But Mia and her friends have other ideas. With a secret profile on the Second Chance dating app, they match her with Vance Prescott—a worldly sommelier and charming wanderer back in town after years abroad.

Sparks fly on their first date in a way neither expected. But then Lila’s brand-new reality design show launches, and her very first client is Vance. Suddenly, her private world is on display, her heart is at risk, and the press is circling.
Vance is used to the spotlight. Lila is not. But between bright lights, nosy kids, and an opposites attract chemistry that won’t be ignored, they might just discover that love can bloom later in life.

Because in Willet Cove, happily-ever-after might just start with a second pairing.


REVIEW: SECOND PAIRING (THE PARENT APP #2) BY TESS THOMPSON 

Second Pairing (The Parent App #2)Second Pairing by Tess Thompson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thompson takes the heart through a gamut of emotions. From endearingly sweet to hilariously funny, Mia, Lila and Vance are the kind of heartache you never forget. Slowburn, haunting, irresistible romance.

Read Now With Kindle Unlimited




I never believed in love at first sight…until I met her.


Rowan
I’ve always wanted to be a doctor.
The only problem is that no matter how many hours I work, I’ll never be able to afford it on my own.
Then I meet him.
Grant Bennett.
He’s grumpy, scarred, and way too intense.
He’s also the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.
And when he makes me a shocking offer, I don’t know if I should laugh, cry, or say yes.


Grant
I came back from my last mission broken.
The doctors tell me I should be grateful I’m alive, but all I feel is restless, angry, and empty.
I don't want to be sidelined. I don't want to be in Colorado getting treatment.
Then I see her.
Rowan Turner.
She's pure sunshine with curves that have my mouth watering, and she makes me feel alive again just by smiling at me.
She deserves the world, and I can give it to her.
With my GI Bill benefits, she can finally afford med school.
All she has to do is marry me.
I tell her it's just paperwork, but the moment she says “I do,” I know I’ll never let her go.
Now I have my hardest mission of all.
Convincing her that I'm the warrior for her.

***
