So Much Pressure

You can’t trust your neighbors. You can’t trust your friends. What if you can’t even trust your own mind?

For a decade, Nora Caldwell has been running from the ghost of her best friend, Jenny, who vanished from their suffocating hometown without a trace. Now, pulled back to the decaying family home by duty, Nora is trapped once more, caring for the man she once revered, her brilliant, beloved father.

The town says Jenny was a runaway. Nora knows they’re wrong.

The proof is a small, silver locket found in an impossible place, a discovery that shatters a decade of lies. This single clue ignites a desperate hunt for the truth, plunging Nora into a disorienting maze of her own fractured memories and a town hostile to her questions.

Her investigation pits her against a pragmatic sheriff who dismisses her fears, a volatile ex-boyfriend still simmering with resentment, and the fragments of her own traumatic memories.

Thirty-year-old Jody Hart, a confirmed bachelor, suddenly has an eleven-year-old girl named Tiffany thrust into his life, and finds himself in unfamiliar territory, trying to explain to a child about menstruation, the facts of life, and why fast-food restaurants can’t keep the French fries from falling to the bottom of the bag at the drive-thru. What’s the answer? Find an adult female to share the burden. Except nothing goes as planned, according to Tiffany’s Rules…

From lonely little girl… to the people’s princess.

She is the last hope of a kingdom crushed under the heel of tyranny.

At first alone in the world, everything changed the day she met Gerald; once a forgotten old warrior, now the General of her army.

With the aid of those willing to sacrifice their lives for the cause of good, she prepares to wage war against her brother, a king more corrupt than even her dead father.

All her life has led up to this.

Now, they seek to unite the ancient races in a desperate race to win the crown before the Dark Queen enslaves them all.

Fate of the Crown is the fifth book in the Heir to the Crown medieval fantasy series. If you like unexpected twists, chuckling under your breath, and shedding the occasional tear, then you will love Paul J Bennett’s tale of a princess who fights for her people.

Southern girl Verity Long is about as high society as her pet skunk, Lucy. Which is why she’s surprised as anyone when the new head of the Sugarland social set invites her to join the “it” girls. But this is no social call. Verity’s new client needs her to go in undercover and investigate strange happenings at the group’s historic headquarters.

But while spirits are whispering hints of murder, the socialites are more focused on Verity’s 1978, avocado-green Cadillac. And when Verity stumbles upon a fresh body, she’s going to need the long-dead citizens of Sugarland to help her solve the crime. Good thing she has the handsome deputy sheriff Ellis Wydell on hand, as well as her ghostly sidekick Frankie. The bad thing is, the ghosts are now whispering about the end of a certain ghost hunter.
