The Red Diary (M)
by
Toni Blake

"When Nick Armstrong finds the red diary, he's shocked... and aroused.
Here, in intimate detail, prim and proper Lauren Ash records her most
secret fantasies. He knows he should never read it again, but the
temptation is too hard to resist. Never before has he come across
anything so private-or so sensual. Never before has he found such a
potent weapon for righting an old wrong. His strategy: seduce her, make
her fall in love, then break her heart. He'll be her dream lover in the
flesh, weaving an erotic spell to free the passionate woman inside her.
But Lauren is casting her own tantalizing magic, forcing him to let go
of the past and surrender to her, body and soul." - publisher
The Return: a novel (M)
by
Michael Gruber
"The real Richard Marder would shock his acquaintances, if they ever
met him. Even his wife, long dead, didn’t know the real man behind the
calm, cultured mask he presents to the world. Only an old army buddy
from Vietnam, Patrick Skelly, knows what Marder is capable of. Then a
shattering piece of news awakens Marder’s buried desire for vengeance,
and with nothing left to lose, he sets off to punish the people whose
actions, years earlier, changed his life. Uninvited, Skelly shows up and
together the two of them raise the stakes far beyond anything Marder
could have envisioned.... Michael Gruber has once more proven that he is “a gifted and
natural storyteller” (
Chicago Tribune) and shows why he has been called “the Stephen King of crime writing” (
The Denver Post).

Bobby Cole

Eighteen
months ago, stockbroker Jake Crosby and his daughter Katy narrowly
survived a living nightmare at a remote Alabama hunting camp. To save
Katy, Jake killed two men--men who were friends and business associates
of notorious outlaw and drug-runner Ethan "Moon Pie" Daniels. That
night, Moon Pie made a blood promise of revenge. And in Moon Pie's dark
world of violence, such promises are always kept. Jake Crosby doesn't
regret what he did that night; he knows it was kill or be killed. But he
can't shake the feeling that the horror isn't over, that Katy and his
wife, Morgan, aren't yet safe--and that retribution is coming. All he
knows for sure is that he will do anything--everything--to protect his
family. That's a vow the dangerous Moon Pie will put to the ultimate
test on a cold, moonless night deep in the heart of a river swamp"

Ancillary Justice (M)
by
Ann Leckie

On
a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing closer to
completing her quest. Breq is both more than she seems and less than she
was. Years ago, she was the Justice of Toren--a colossal starship with
an artificial intelligence linking thousands of corpse soldiers in the
service of the Radch, the empire that conquered the galaxy. An act of
treachery has ripped it all away, leaving her with only one fragile
human body. And only one purpose--to revenge herself on Anaander
Mianaai, many-bodied, near-immortal Lord of the Radch.
