A new series perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Jenny Hale, and Susan Mallery. An inheritance from a mother she never knew. But can this fixer-upper mend her heart? Hazel didn't think there was anything a homemade apple pie couldn't fix--until her husband divorced her and left her broke. Trying her best to raise her ten-year old daughter and make ends meet, Hazel is desperate for a fresh start. When she inherits a fixer-upper in the small town of Maple Bay, Hazel and her daughter head to the country for the reading of her biological mother's will. But a clause in the will says Hazel and her sister--the sister she didn't know existed--must live together on the rural property for one summer, or forfeit their inheritance. If Hazel can tough it out in the country for a few months, she stands to gain a historic carriage house. It needs renovation, but Hazel thinks she can fix it up, sell it as a bed-and-breakfast, and use the profits to begin her life anew, back in the city. She isn't planning to stay in Maple Bay, or to fall in love with her sister's best friend, Jesse--a single dad and handsome cowboy who is recovering from heartbreak of his own. Hazel and Jesse are from two different worlds, but this horse-whisperer just might know how to speak to Hazel's broken heart . . . until Hazel discovers a box of letters and a secret from her past that changes everything. ★★★ Starting Over in Maple Bay is a sweet, feel-good small-town romance, and the first book in a new series by award-winning author Brittney Joy.

Myra despises liars. And the biggest fake just stole her coffee shop. Skyler Ridge, the famous country music star, is a fake. At least that's what the tabloids say-that he doesn't have a country bone in his body. Running from a scandal and the relentless paparazzi, Skyler lands in the small town of Maple Bay where he buys a failing coffee shop. He wants peace, quiet, and the chance to reinvent himself. Instead, he gets a cowgirl-barista with a surly attitude. But even though Myra drives him crazy, he can't deny the fire she lights in him-a spark he hasn't felt in years. Single-mother Myra is edging on forty and has no room for a man in her life. She barely has room to breathe. But when she can't save her coffee shop from foreclosure, the most irritatingly handsome man forces himself into her life. And she wants him out. Now. So when Skyler's agent presents Myra with a deal to gain her coffee shop back, she jumps at the chance. The catch? Myra must turn Skyler into a real cowboy and save his country music career-before his label drops him. But as Myra and Skyler are forced to spend time together, their broken hearts start to heal. Can they overcome rocky pasts to find a happily-ever-after? Or is their love song destined to end on a sour note? A sweet enemies-to-lovers romance full of hope, redemption, and how following your heart will always lead you home. ★ BONUS: Includes a sweet, scrumptious recipe for Chocolate Pie. ♥♥♥ Welcome to Maple Bay, a small Midwestern town with heaps of heart-where family dinner is a must, and someone will always leave the light on for you.

The new novel from the author of As We Have Always Done, a poetic world-building journey into the power of Anishinaabe life and traditions amid colonialism In fierce prose and poetic fragments, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson’s Noopiming braids together humor, piercing detail, and a deep, abiding commitment to Anishinaabe life to tell stories of resistance, love, and joy. Mashkawaji (they/them) lies frozen in the ice, remembering the sharpness of unmuted feeling from long ago, finding freedom and solace in isolated suspension. They introduce the seven characters: Akiwenzii, the old man who represents the narrator’s will; Ninaatig, the maple tree who represents their lungs; Mindimooyenh, the old woman, their conscience; Sabe, a gentle giant, their marrow; Adik, the caribou, their nervous system; and Asin and Lucy, the humans who represent their eyes, ears, and brain. Simpson’s book As We Have Always Done argued for the central place of storytelling in imagining radical futures. Noopiming (Anishinaabemowin for “in the bush”) enacts these ideas. The novel’s characters emerge from deep within Abinhinaabeg thought to commune beyond an unnatural urban-settler world littered with SpongeBob Band-Aids, Ziploc baggies, and Fjällräven Kånken backpacks. A bold literary act of decolonization and resistance, Noopiming offers a breaking open of the self to a world alive with people, animals, ancestors, and spirits—and the daily work of healing.

Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone meets The Goonies in The Treasure Hunters Club—a rollicking murder mystery set in a seaside town filled with pirate lore, family secrets, unforgiveable grudges, secret societies, and of course, a treasure lost to time. WELCOME TO MAPLE BAY, NOVA SCOTIA For nearly a century, people have ventured to the idyllic seaside town of Maple Bay in search of a legendary lost pirate treasure, but locals know there’s more than just gold buried in the sand. As the paths of three strangers converge in Maple Bay, the truth is about to be blown wide open. But not before the bodies start to pile up. Peter Barnett is rapidly approaching 40 with little to show for it when a mysterious letter invites him to Maple Bay and the mansion his estranged family has called home for generations. Seventeen-year-old Dandy Feltzen is isolated and adrift following the death of her beloved grandfather, until his final request and a tantalizing clue sets her on a mission to solve the mystery he spent his entire life chasing. Cass Jones has given up on her dream of being a successful author when an unexpected opportunity lands in her lap: a housesitting gig in remote Maple Bay, where she stumbles on the perfect subject matter for her breakout book—and the handsome sailor who might be just the person to help her research it. Peter, Dandy and Cass have never met, but they’re on a collision course with each other and the mystery that has defined Maple Bay for two centuries, and none of them are prepared for the shocking truths that may or may not still be buried there.
