She's got a plan... to find herself a man! When Piper Shepherd learns she's the very last of her group of girlfriends still single, she decides to embark on an old-fashioned manhunt with her grandmother's Guide to a Marrying a Good Man in hand. The catch? Finding an eligible man in the tiny Mississippi town where she works as a food scientist designing decadent desserts. Her latest client, a hunky Chicago restaurateur, is her first serious target, but there's one little problem... He's a man... with a ring on his hand! Ian Bentley's longtime girlfriend just proposed--with a ring! He grudgingly agrees to consider her proposal during a business trip to a little Mississippi town in search of a signature dessert for his chain of coffee shops. He'd been dreading the visit south in the dog days of summer, but suddenly he's looking forward to relaxing in a place where things move in slow motion, and no one is trying to get him to the altar. He doesn't count on the explosive chemistry with the food scientist assigned to his project. But what the woman can do with chocolate is sinful... A sexy romantic comedy!

It was one of the biggest crime stories of the decade - two deadly killers, desperate and on the run. After months of planning, Ricky Matt and David Sweat cut, chopped, coerced, and connived their way out of a maximum-security prison in the wilderness of upstate New York and managed to elude police for three weeks, sending the region into lockdown and keeping the entire country on edge. The media called it "a bold escape for the ages," and veteran true-crime writer Michael Benson leads us along the story's every wild path to dig out a tale of adventure, psychology, sex, and brutality. Escape from Dannemora examines the strange case of Joyce Mitchell, the long-time prison employee who had a sexual relationship with at least one of the killers, and who smuggled them tools and aided in the escape, while they cooked up a plan to kill her husband. In the end, Benson looks closely at conditions at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, NY, a crumbling Gothic pile now under investigation for charges of drug trafficking and brutality.

Set in the American South in the years before and during the Civil War, John Wray’s hypnotic new novel is at once a crime story, a bravura work of historical fiction, and a fire-and-brimstone meditation on American credulity and corruption. Thaddeus Morelle’s followers call him “the Redeemer.” Over the years he has led the Island 37 Gang from stealing horses to stealing slaves in an enterprise so nefarious that both the Union and Confederacy have placed a bounty on their heads. But now Morelle is dead, murdered by his puppet and protégé, Virgil Ball, who may rid himself of the Redeemer but can never be free of his Trade. Based on the true story of John Murrell, a figure once as infamous as Jesse James, Canaan’s Tongue is suspenseful and fiercely comic, a modern masterpiece of the American grotesque.
