Book Description
MURDER. TREASON. TIME TRAVEL. It's been ten years since Rueben Greyson's father disappeared, leaving this discharged Army veteran drifting in a sea of unemployment and alcohol. That is until an attempt on his life drives Reuben into the grips of the secretive Archive Initiative Center (AIC), where he learns of his father's murder and the elusive fugitive plotting to take the reins of their most guarded asset: Chronos. Now, Reuben must hunt down his father's killer through the vast spacetime maze of the Chronos Project. Caught in a vortex of hidden agendas, prophetic dreams, and tantalizing artifacts, Reuben and his team of travelers unlock clues that lead to the gut-wrenching truth at the heart of the cryptic project. Equations and gadgetry may bind the pillars of the beastly Chronos, but human dilemmas will test all those who pass through its arches. "A paradox, always true but rarely right."

Book Description
The author of the Ladybug Farm series delivers an exhilarating new novel of a middle-aged woman who follows her heart to love and happiness. When a dashing French poet swept forty-something workaholic Sara Graves off her feet, she did something completely unexpected: She married him. Then three weeks later he died, leaving her a house she can't afford to keep in a country she's never been to. Traveling to France to settle the estate, Sara is shocked to discover that her husband wasn't the impoverished poet he claimed to be- and that the estate he left her is a 400-year-old crumbling castle in the Loire Valley. Now Sara must sell Chateau Rondelais before it (not to mention her late husband's disarmingly handsome lawyer and best friend) makes her question her decision to leave-and opens her heart to change and all its unexpected possibilities.

Book Description
In the timeless shadows of the mines, distant screams glide across rock walls worn by running water and groping hands. Here where the sunlight never reaches, the picking of axes and dragging of chains is met by the wails of new slaves and the dying of the old. The guards' words echo off the walls as if from the dark heart of the mountain itself, crushing any hope of freedom: You are nothing here! You have no power and no chance of escape. Returning to his hometown defeated, penniless, and desperate, Decklen resolves to seek help from the only man strong enough to provide it - the elder of Leonesse. When he pleads his case to the elder, Decklen is not offered access to the town's resources as he had hoped. Instead, he is presented with an invitation - an offer to begin a quest to unlock eight scrolls and learn the secrets therein. But to do so, Decklen must find each key. Could it be that this quest will prepare him for the dangers ahead? But for two tenacious captives -- Decklen, a young man coping with the mistakes of his past, and Camberly, a feisty ten-year-old orphan -- escape from the mines is not a dream; it is their reality. However, Camberly's brother has accidentally been left behind. They must go back for him; they must free him from the debilitating darkness. But how can Decklen face the nightmare of the mines again?
