The Long Travel

USA Today bestselling author Connie Shelton introduces her most delightful cozy mystery series yet — with a little romance, a little magic and a whole lot of chocolate! With nearly 2 million books sold and downloaded in more than 110 countries, see what the fuss is all about! Samantha Sweet breaks into houses for a living. But when she encounters a dying woman in one such house and a backyard grave at another, handsome deputy Beau Cardwell shows up and — well, things get complicated.

A small mural painted inside a closet in the abandoned house provides clues and Sam is caught up in Beau’s investigation. A fortune in artwork, a bogus will, and a wooden box that seems to give Sam powers she never dreamed she possessed — it all adds up to a dynamic paranormal romantic mystery.

Then, there is all that chocolate! Sam’s real goal in life is to use her elegant baking skills to open her own pastry shop, Sweet’s Sweets. She’s gaining quite the reputation as a baker with a magical touch, but a few obstacles stand in her way. Her grown daughter shows up on her doorstep — jobless and homeless; her bank account is at an all-time low; and trying to work from the tiny cramped kitchen in her home is becoming impossible. Somehow, Sam copes and she finds that her dreams might just have a chance of coming true.

The stars are within mankind’s reach…

… But what awaits in the void may end humanity…

Mars and the Moon have been colonized, piracy runs rampant in the asteroid belts, and a thriving society grows in the depths of space. Humanity prepares to embark upon its greatest journey — the colonization of Alpha Centauri.

Then everything changes…

A deep space reconnaissance probe discovers a new Earth-like planet twelve light-years from Earth’s sun. The probe also finds something unusual, something… unnerving. A new mission is created, a space fleet is formed, and humanity embarks on unraveling the greatest mystery of all — the origins of life itself.

Can the factions of Earth remain united, or will old rivalries and animosities destroy the fragile peace in the face of this terrifying existential threat?

Will exploration prove to be a fatal mistake?

Have we settled for a version of salvation that comforts but never transforms?

In a world where emotional experiences, cultural Christianity, and shallow affirmations pass for faith, many are walking in spiritual deception — thinking they are saved when, in truth, they are still lost. Superficial Salvation is a bold yet compassionate call to examine the foundation of your faith.

With piercing clarity, this book exposes the hollow substitutes for true redemption: altar calls without repentance, service without surrender, baptism without belief, and morality without regeneration. But it doesn’t leave the reader in despair. Through Scripture-rich insight and heartfelt reflections, it invites you into the kind of salvation that Jesus actually taught — costly, complete, and eternally secure.

Whether you’ve grown up in church or are just beginning your spiritual journey, this book will challenge you, stir you, and, ultimately, lead you closer to the real Jesus. It’s not about being better — it’s about being made new.

It’s time to leave behind illusions and embrace the truth that sets you free.

NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Kaylee Ryan brings you a new standalone series surrounding five best friends who co-own a tattoo studio. “Does He Know?” is an age gap, brother’s best friend, small town romance.

Emerson

It’s not like I planned to fall for my older brother’s best friend.

It just happened. With a perfect body covered in tattoos, and a dirty mouth, Roman is the kind of guy women notice — and believe me, I noticed. Even when I tried not to.

When he finally gives in to temptation, there’s no going back. At least for me. Too bad Roman doesn’t see it that way.

He thinks he needs to protect me and my relationship with my brother, but I don’t need him to fight my battles. I just need him.

Roman

My name whispered from Emerson’s perfect pink lips is all it takes for me to betray my best friend.

Before that night, I kept the green-eyed beauty at arm’s length. Watched her from afar and told myself that the chemistry between us was one-sided.

I pretended that I didn’t want her more than my next breath. Which is what’s on the line if her brother ever finds out we’ve been sneaking around behind his back.

But I can’t stay away. Especially after knowing what it’s like to have her and lose her.

Now, I’m given a second chance, and I have every intention of making her mine — consequences be damned.
