Goldenseal (2024)
Maria Hummel
"For anyone who has ever had - and lost - that rarest of gifts: a true friend. A deft, exquisite novel, one that will stay in your heart like a memory, as if it were one of your very own."

Shadows of Pecan Hollow (2022)
Caroline Frost
"He's a charismatic criminal; she's a dirt-streaked runaway who doesn't feel pain. Their ensuing crime spree sits like a rock in your stomach, and fifteen years later, when he comes back to haunt her, you'll reach for your phone to dial 911. In this gorgeous, completely addictive debut of love gone bad, Caroline Frost churns up an atmosphere sinister and sour as wind whipping off the oil rigs in Galveston--and a heroine so toughened and feral, readers won't want to step out of her brave, quick-witted, leather-bound hide for a single moment."

A Sunday in Ville-d'Avray (2021)
Dominique Barbéris
"In a year with no days, the exquisite A Sunday in Ville-d’Avray precisely captures the haunted feeling of a bygone Sunday, the afternoon already too late, and the bittersweet homesickness of a moment’s end. This wistful novel, a sunbeam illuminating the rain-soaked moments of someone else’s ordinary tragedy, will stay with you for weeks."
