Texas Ranger Brody Calhoun is with his parents in west Texas
when an unexpected attack injures the brother of Rebecca Morgan,
Brody's high school sweetheart. The local sheriff, a good friend,
asks for Brody's help. At first, it seems like an open-and-shut
case.
As Brody digs deeper, he realizes the attack may be related
to an organized crime trial Rebecca will be overseeing. With
Rebecca's help, he compiles evidence involving cattle rustling,
bribery, and dirty payoffs that shatter the entire community
and put Rebecca directly in the line of fire.
Brody expects to protect her. What he never expects is to fall
for Rebecca all over again, or for a murder to throw the case
wide open. Is Brody's faith strong enough to withstand not only
deep-rooted corruption and cattle rustling, but also love?
"Continuing her Men of the Texas Ranchers series, Daley's
story is driven by strong lead characters and contains a great
buildup to the surprise reveal of 'who done it'."

Truth-Stained Lies
(Book 1 in the Moonlighters Series)
By
Terri Blackstock
Sometimes the truth is crazier than a lie.
Cathy Cramer is making a name for herself judging and speculating
about murder trials in her popular investigative blog. But when
her brother is framed for a murder, and the truth is staged
to look ridiculous, Cathy is thrust into a media circus of her
own. How will she and her sisters dismantle the lies so the
world can believe the truth?
Blackstock (Intervention series), who crossed over from the
secular market to Christian fiction, hits her stride with the
opener of The Moonlighter series.... A story rich with texture
and suspense, this family murder mystery unfolds with fast pacing,
with a creepy clown murder suspect and threatening blog visitor
to boot. (Publisher's Weekly)
Crisp prose, an engaging story, and brisk pacing make this
thriller another home run for Blackstock. (Library Journal)

Moonlight Masquerade
A Regency Romance
Ruth Axtell
Lady Céline Wexham seems the model British subject.
French by birth but enjoying
life in 1813 as a widowed English countess, she is in the unique
position of
being able to help those in need—or to spy for the notorious
Napoleon Bonaparte.
When Rees Phillips of the British Foreign Office is sent to
pose as the
countess's butler and discover where her true loyalties lie,
he is confident he
will uncover the truth. But the longer he is in her fashionable
townhouse in
London's West End, the more his staunch loyalty to the Crown
begins to waver as
he falls under Lady Wexham's spell. Will he find the proof he
needs? And if she
is a spy after all, will he do the right thing?
Ruth Axtell deftly creates a world where black and white burst
into a confusion
of colors and no one is who they seem. Readers will be hooked
from the very
first scene to the final page.
