But when an accident turns her impromptu visit into an extended stay, Becca finds herself stranded in Virgin River. With Denny. In very close quarters.
As the power of Christmas envelops the little town, Becca discovers that the boy she once loved has become a strong and confident man. An the most delicious Christmas present she can imagine."

Yada Yada Prayer Group
By Neta Jackson
“When Avis and I were assigned to a prayer group of twelve women at the conference, I wasn’t sure what to think. There was Flo, an outspoken ex-drug addict; Ruth, a Messianic Jew who could smother-mother you to death; and Yo-Yo, an ex-con who wasn’t even a Christian! Not to mention women from Jamaica, Honduras, South Africa—practically a mini-United nations. We certainly didn’t have much in common.
“But something happened that weekend to make us realize we had to hang together. So ‘the Yada Yada Prayer Group’ decided to keep praying for each other via e-mail. That worked for a while, but our personal struggles and requests soon got too intense for cyberspace, so we decided to meet together every other Sunday night.
“Talk about a rock tumbler!—knocking off each other’s rough edges, learning to laugh and cry along the way. But when I faced the biggest crisis of my life, God used my newfound girlfriends to help teach me—Jodi Baxter, longtime Christian ‘good girl’—what it means to be just a sinner saved by grace.”

Covert Warriors
By W.E.B. Griffin
"At a roadblock outside the Mexican seaside resort of Acapulco, a U.S. Embassy SUV is stopped at gunpoint. Of the vehicle’s four occupants, three are shot dead and the fourth taken hostage.
Fingers immediately point to one of Mexico’s ruthless drug-running cartels. Especially when a message arrives announcing that the kidnappers will release the hostage—U.S. Army Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel James D. Ferris—if a cartel kingpin serving a life sentence in a Colorado federal prison is let go in Mexico.
But when word gets to Charley Castillo and his Merry Band of Outlaws—Ferris is a West Point classmate and friend of Castillo—they have their doubts. Fresh from having enraged the Kremlin by staging a covert raid in Venezuela that nabbed not only high-value Russian agents but also a highly-prized secret Russian aircraft, they start connecting the dots."

Proof of Heaven
By Mary Curran
"Though he might be young, Colm already knows the truth about himself—that he’s very sick, and he may not get better. His mother, Cathleen, takes comfort in the certainty that, whatever happens, Colm will be protected by the God in whom she so fiercely believes. But her son is not so sure. Afraid to tell his religious mother about what he fears may happen “after,” Colm faces each day with a wisdom far beyond his years, and eventually turns to his benevolent and logical doctor for advice.
And though Colm has come to terms with the realities of his short life, he does have one special wish—to meet his long-lost father, the man who left before Cathleen gave birth to her beautiful auburn-haired, green-eyed angel. But the quest to find his father will become something far more indelible—a journey of emotional discovery that will test their love, force them to confront their fears and their faith, and face the ultimate question: Can a child give his loved ones hope, peace, and proof of heaven? The answer may just be the cure they all need to heal their broken hearts."

With only an excruciating and intuitive gift, an ex-con, and Julie’s estranged daughter to help search for clues, Audrey starts the search of her life for a woman who has vanished like the fog."

77 Shadow Street
By Dean Koontz
"The Pendleton stands on the summit of Shadow Hill at the highest point of an old heartland city, a Gilded Age palace built in the late 1800s as a tycoon’s dream home. Almost from the beginning, its grandeur has been scarred by episodes of madness, suicide, mass murder, and whispers of things far worse. But since its rechristening in the 1970s as a luxury apartment building, the Pendleton has been at peace. For its fortunate residents—among them a successful songwriter and her young son, a disgraced ex-senator, a widowed attorney, and a driven money manager—the Pendleton’s magnificent quarters are a sanctuary, its dark past all but forgotten.
But now inexplicable shadows caper across walls, security cameras relay impossible images, phantom voices mutter in strange tongues, not-quite-human figures lurk in the basement, elevators plunge into unknown depths. With each passing hour, a terrifying certainty grows: Whatever drove the Pendleton’s past occupants to their unspeakable fates is at work again. Soon, all those within its boundaries will be engulfed by a dark tide from which few have escaped."

The Strangers on Montagu Street
By Karen White
"It's been a very busy fall and winter for me. The third book in the Tradd Street series, THE STRANGERS ON MONTAGU STREET, came out in November and debuted at #14 on the NYT list (thank you readers and booksellers!). And, yes, there WILL be a fourth book in the series and it will be out in November 2013. Yes, that does seem like a long time to wait but there WILL be three more books (not in the series) out in the interim to hopefully keep us all busy while you wait. :-) I don't have a title yet (because the book isn't even a twinkle in my eye, yet) but I will post it here and on my Facebook page as soon as I know it."
