"Carla Olman Peperzak donned a blue-and-white nurse's uniform and made her way to Amsterdam's Central Station. She had received word that an aunt and five cousins would be passing through on the way to Westerbork, the Nazi detention center in northeast Holland. Her uncle had already been seized by the Nazis. So when Peperzak found her relatives in a railcar waiting on the tracks she asked if she could take the youngest one. She carried the toddler off the train. But the station was teeming with German soldiers, and a couple of them stopped her. Who are you and where are you going, they wanted to know. Peperzak was a teenage wartime Dutch Resistance operative who, by her estimation, helped hide approximately 40 Jews from the Germans during World War II. She forged identification papers for about five dozen others, served as a messenger for the Underground movement and helped publish a newsletter of Allied Forces' activities on a banned mimeograph machine. These are not the things she told the Nazis. In German, which she had learned in school as well as from her Austrian nanny, Peperzak said the boy was sick and needed to get to a hospital. She was young, attractive and Jewish. She was also disguised as a German nurse, with a stolen medical identification card in her pocket. If her true identity had been discovered, "That would have been the end of me." Still, she didn't consider herself particularly brave. Her resistance was born of gratitude. Peperzak didn't wear a star. So she helped those who did. "I was 18, 19, 20. I was not married. I did not have any responsibility - only for myself - and that made a big difference," she said. "I felt I could help. I had the opportunity.""

Secrets of the heart aren’t the only things hiding in this small Indiana town. So is a hunter who likes to kill on the darkest of nights… For two years, Ethan has done his best to keep his distance from his best friend’s sister. But the sweetly sexy blonde is everywhere he turns these days, armed and dangerous with insulting comebacks, sarcastic sass, and sultry looks that tempt a man to do foolish things like ask her out or kiss her senseless. If he trips over her one more time, he can’t be held responsible for what happens next... Beth has loved Ethan for over a decade. He doesn’t know, and she isn’t about to tell him. Without a doubt, the surly, dark-haired detective would use her feelings as a weapon against her in their increasingly bitter war of words. But when people begin disappearing from their small town, they’re forced to work together to figure out what’s going on. If they can keep from killing - or kissing - each other in the meantime, that is. Just as their attraction boils over, Beth is trapped in the hunter’s deadly crosshairs. Despite his best efforts, Ethan might not get to her in time. And once the dust settles, they may never pick up all the broken pieces again... Hunted is the second book in the Olman County Series, Women's Fiction novels of Small Town Romantic Suspense.

“Speedy, exhilarating, and smooth. Nobody does it better.” —Washington Post “The man knows how to grab you—and Pronto is one of the best grabbers in years.” —Entertainment Weekly Fans of U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens of the hit TV series Justified are in for a major treat. The unstoppable manhunter with the very itchy trigger finger stars in Pronto, a crime fiction gem from the one and only Elmore Leonard, “the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever” (New York Times Book Review). The Grand Master justifies the overwhelming acclaim he has received over the course of his remarkable career with an electrifying thriller that sends the indomitable Raylan racing to Italy on the trail of a fugitive bookie who’s hiding from the vengeful Miami mob. The legendary Leonard, whom the Seattle Times lauds as the “King Daddy of crime writers,” proves that all comparisons to American noir icons John D. MacDonald, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain are well deserved with this tale of very dirty doings and extremely dangerous men coming together in the birthplace of Puccini, Garibaldi, and La Cosa Nostra.

He isn’t the only one about to lose his temper. Desi’s life was destroyed when she was sixteen, forcing her to run away and leave behind everyone she loved - including the charming boy who held her heart. Now that she’s a successful adult, she’s come home hoping to make amends and rebuild some of what she lost. But Jason has become embittered and emotionally unavailable, and “forgiveness” isn’t in his vocabulary. If she didn’t adore his family, she’d tell the surly detective where he could put his attitude. Before they can broker a peace deal, Jason’s involved in a dangerous arrest that threatens to put an end to him permanently. Will he and Desi ever get a chance to find the redemption they seek, or will the opportunity for forgiveness be lost forever? Redemption is the eighth book in the Olman County series.
