Grounds for Murder by Tara Lush.
When Lana Lewis' best --
and most difficult -- employee abruptly quits and goes to work for the
competition just days before the Sunshine State Barista Championship, her
café's chances of winning the contest are creamed. In front of a gossipy crowd
in the small Florida town of Devil's Beach, Lana's normally calm demeanor heats
to a boil when she runs into the arrogant java slinger. Of course, Fabrizio "Fab"
Bellucci has a slick explanation for jumping ship. But when he's found dead the
next morning under a palm tree in the alley behind Lana's café, she becomes the
prime suspect. Even the island's handsome police chief isn't quite certain of
her innocence. But Lana isn't the only one in town who was angry with Fabrizio.
Jilted lovers, a shrimp boat captain, and a surfer with ties to the mob are all
suspects as trouble brews on the beach. With her stoned, hippie dad, a Shih Tzu
named Stanley, and a new, curious barista sporting a punk rock aesthetic at her
side, Lana's prepared to turn up the heat to catch the real killer. After all,
she is a former award-winning reporter. As scandal hangs over her beachside
café, can Lana clear her name and win the championship -- or will she come to a
bitter end?
The Familiar Stranger by Christina Tarabochia.
A fresh start or a
double-cross? Why is he so cold and distant? Denise wonders as Craig demeans
her yet again. Is it his job? The family? Or is it me? Though she's poured her
heart into her marriage, years of enduring his long hours, frequent trips, and
short temper have left her with a deep sadness. Later that morning--in the
middle of church--her cell phone rings. Embarrassed, she heads to the lobby,
takes the call ... and is shocked by the news she hears. Craig's been in an
accident. So begins their fresh start. While keeping vigil by his bedside she
wills herself to make their marriage work, whatever the cost. And when Craig
finally regains consciousness, he appears to want the same thing--except for
one detail. He doesn't know who she is. Nor does he remember anything about
their life, their children, or why he was parked on the side of the freeway
when the accident occurred. As he struggles to recall the past, he also shows a
new love for Denise characterized by tender strength and consideration. So what
is she to do when ugly betrayals emerge? Is it possible to forgive a man who
thoroughly violated her trust? How many more lies and secrets are yet to be
discovered?

fought desperately to stop a third plane from completing its deadly flight
plan, America went on war footing. Killing the Killers narrates America's

9/11 attacks, but hundreds of others in America and around the world, and who
eventually destroyed entire nations in their relentless quest for power. Killing
the Killers moves from Afghanistan to Iraq, Iran to Yemen, Syria, and Libya,
and elsewhere, as the United States fought Al Qaeda, ISIS, and the Iranian
Revolutionary Guard, as well as individually targeting the most notorious
leaders of these groups.
