Samantha Seabrook – an ambitious young woman with a chequered past – is found drowned in the ornamental fountain of a locked Cambridge courtyard. The only clue is an antique silver chain wound tightly around her throat.
It’s local reporter Tara Thorpe’s job to discover what happened to Miss Seabrook – but the case becomes personal when she learns that Samantha had been receiving threatening messages… rather like the one that landed on the doorstep of Tara’s cottage the night the woman died.

Thriller
Silenced Girls: An absolutely addictive mystery thriller (Agent Tori Hunter Book 1)

The beautiful young woman is perfectly still, curled up in the trunk of the car, her long dark hair hiding her face. Her cotton blouse has ridden up a little, revealing two small dots an inch apart on her back. Just like the others.
Guilt has kept FBI Agent Tori Hunter away from her home in Manchester Bay, Minnesota for twenty years, ever since her twin sister disappeared on the Fourth of July, when the girls should have been together. But when she receives an anonymous newspaper clipping about another missing girl, Genevieve, Tori is dragged back to the past.
Just like Tori’s sister, Genevieve vanished without a trace, her empty car abandoned on a lonely lakeside road as Independence Day fireworks lit up the sky overhead.
Nonfiction
Fitness Over 50 For Women: Building Muscle After Menopause: The Myth-Busting Guide to Strength When It Actually Matters
Price: FREE
Let's be honest: most fitness advice for women over 50 basically amounts to "Don't fall and break a hip, dear." As if the moment we hit menopause, we should trade our dumbbells for knitting needles and accept our new role as fragile decorative objects.
Louise Harper calls BS on all of that. In Fitness Over 50 for Women: Building Muscle After Menopause, Harper delivers the no-nonsense truth: the strongest person in the room isn't the 25-year-old gym bro taking selfies—it's the 65-year-old woman deadlifting while wearing a shirt that reads "I've survived everything life has thrown at me, including menopause. What's your superpower?"
Fantasy
Caged: Fae Fantasy Romance (A Court of Passion Book 1)
Price: FREE
Elina is a fae of the Western Woods, a region filled with tall forests and green fields. She lives a life of peaceful bliss until the day her father, the king of the fae, dies. Then everything goes wrong.
Her uncle assumes the throne, and his heart is as cruel as the biting north wind. He gives her only two choices: to be sold as a bride to the dragon king of the southern region or be ‘removed’ from the line of succession. Elina chooses to cling to life and arrives at the southern capital city of the ancient dragon king, a creature tens of thousands of years old. She discovers a vibrant city with many sights and many secrets.
The worst-kept secret is the size of the king’s harem. He hosts dozens of women from all the surrounding kingdoms, and she finds herself awash in a sea of unfamiliar, and sometimes hostile, faces. Competition for the king’s affection is fierce among those seeking favors, and her pretty face is a magnet for jealousy and cruel tricks.
