Do You Take This Man by Denise Williams. After butting heads, an event planner and a wedding officiant begin an enemy with benefits arrangement as wedding bells chime around them in the newest rom-com from acclaimed author Denise Williams.

Pitch Dark by Paul Doiron. Legendary bush pilot Josie Jonson can’t believe her luck when a skilled builder just happens to show up after she purchases land near Prentiss Pond. All Mark Redmond asks in return for building Josie’s dream cabin is that he be left alone to homeschool his 12-year-old daughter, Cady. For Maine game warden investigator Mike Bowditch, the intensity of Redmond’s secretiveness is troubling, especially in light of suspicious criminal activity being reported around the area — including rumors of an armed man offering large sums of money in exchange for the location of Redmond and Cady.

Target Acquired by Lynette Eason. Tough-as-nails Kenzie King has finally earned her place as a tactical medic on a SWAT team. But not everyone on the all-male team accepts her. Rumor is, she didn’t get the position because of what she could do but because of who she knew.
