Kristie Sandford's vacation is interrupted when a man jumps out in front of her car. She avoids hitting him, but when she stops to see if he's hurt, he demands she help him escape from the people chasing him. Kristie has an odd "gift"-she occasionally gets warning messages, and she gets one saying he needs her help or he'll die. Jason Hunter is an SBI (N.C. State Bureau of Investigation) agent working on his own time searching for a friend, an investigative reporter who disappeared while tracking down rumors of corruption in the bureaucracy of a small, North Carolina mountain town. Jason is grateful to Kristie for rescuing him, but dubious when she insists she has to continue helping him. Kristie is attracted to Jason, but the edge of danger she senses in him reminds her too much of the abusive family she escaped as soon as she could. Still, the message said he'd die if she didn't help him, and the messages have been right before.All Rights Reserved

Silent Deception (Wattys 2025) by MiraHarlson

Watty's 2025 Shortlist Samantha Bricks wanted a quiet life. After cutting ties with her controlling family and carving out a modest career as a schoolteacher, she thought peace was finally hers. But then the letters begin. Red. Handwritten. Obsessive. Always unsigned. Each note presses deeper under her skin, unraveling the fragile sense of safety she's worked so hard to rebuild. Then there's Holland St. Claire-a mute little girl in her class with haunted eyes and disturbing paintings. She doesn't speak. Barely even reacts. But Samantha sees her, understands her in a way no one else does. And when Holland's father begins showing up late and aloof, Samantha assumes the worst. Until she meets Julian St. Claire, and everything shifts. Their first encounter is sharp, electric-an intimacy that unsettles her. Julian offers her a job babysitting Holland. But soon, he wants more. Her time. Her body. Her focus. And his secrets run dark and deep. Just as she starts slipping into Julian's magnetic orbit, Crown Prince Evander De Navarre of New Everest shows up-entitled, intoxicating, and sinfully persuasive. He's used to getting what he wants. And what he wants is Samantha. Suddenly, she's trapped between two powerful, complicated men: Julian, brooding and unreadable. Evander, dangerous in a way she can't quite name. But this isn't just a twisted romance. As the love notes grow more threatening and her ex's mysterious disappearance begins to resurface, Samantha realizes the truth is far darker than she ever imagined. This isn't about desire. It's about control. It's about survival. And someone is watching her every move.

Well, that's just great. *** The West and East gang of Tygerwell have been at each other's throats since the dawn of time. And the two leaders of these gangs want to end the fight, once and for all. But fighting with fists is easy. Fighting with wit and charm, is a whole other ball game. Blake. West-side gang leader. Leather jacket and killer glare. Don't talk back. Owen. East-side gang leader. Fancy coat and toxic stare. Don't resist. And in comes Amber. Hair of gold and oceans in her eyes. Has too much sass for her own good and always, ALWAYS, manages to get into the middle of trouble. But these boys have no idea who they're really dealing with.

Ryleigh must push herself to new limits in the fight of her life in order to survive. REVIEWS: "From the first to the last page, the author creates an incredibly tense atmosphere that leaves the reader in constant anticipation about what's going to happen next. The desperate scramble for survival on unfamiliar terrain is often reminiscent of The Hunger Games. Each character brings something different to the table, from the caring Cal to headstrong Will, but is everyone who they say they are? Once you start reading this story, you won't want to stop." - DesignWizard "This book is one of my favorites! I love it! Your other books are amazing too!" - seejanereading "So much suspense!
