Meant for You (The Connor Family, #3)

Layla Hagen

Will Connor lives his life by simple rules: take care of those he loves, give one hundred percent to his job, and never ignore his instincts. So when he meets Paige, he doesn't plan to ignore their crazy chemistry, or the way her pretty smile strips him of all defenses… As the development director of a nonprofit, Paige Lamonica has met her fair share of people. But Will is something else entirely. The sexy detective is a little too confident. With sculpted muscles and a chiseled jawline, he's also far too easy on the eye. She loves that he goes toe-to-toe with her at every turn. When Will asks her to attend his sister's wedding with him, Paige thinks he just wants to throw some relatives who want to play matchmakers off his scent. She couldn't be more wrong. Will wants her. When she teases him, he teases her right back. When she pushes his buttons, he repays her with dangerously hot flirting...and even hotter kisses. As they spend more time together, Paige discovers there's more to Will than she thought. With every layer she peels away, she craves more… But as the daughter of an Army man, Paige has never wanted to get involved with someone on the force. Can Will persuade her to explore their growing connection with him?

The Death Row Club

V.A. Vazquez

SOME THINGS RUN IN THE BLOOD… A darkly twisted and wonderfully original debut thriller for fans of Riley Sager and Jessica Knoll – at an annual weekend getaway for the adult children of serial killers, the participants begin to wonder if somebody's continuing the family tradition when one of their number turns up dead. Plenty of people have lousy parents, but Nicola Fischer's father has just been convicted of murdering five young women, including her best friend. Fired from her job and hounded by reporters, Nicola passes the time by doomscrolling and drunk-dialling Greer Woods, the alluring host of the hit show To Catch a Killer, who cracked the case and turned Nicola's life upside down before disappearing along with her so-called 'best intentions'. When an email from Greer finally shows up in Nicola's inbox, there's no apology or explanation, just a cryptic invitation. The Death Row Club is an annual weekend getaway for the adult children of serial killers – and Nicola is the newest reluctant member. Desperate to escape her small town, she accepts the offer with barely a second thought, forging tentative bonds with her fellow club members, most of whom seem intriguing, and only slightly unhinged. But when an uninvited guest shows up at their remote wilderness retreat, everyone is put on high alert, and the next morning paranoia turns to outright fear. Because one of their own is dead, and the rest of them are left with only one question. If the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, which of them is the bad seed? 'One of the freshest and most promising new voices in crime fiction. This twisted delight is bound to be a megahit' ASHLEY WINSTEAD, bestselling author of This Book Will Bury Me 'Compelling, provocative, and absorbing. Vazquez thrills with a fresh and unforgettable premise' KARIN SLAUGHTER
