Spotlight: Marriage of Sin by Kristen Luciani

Release Date: June 26

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

My arranged husband is younger, relentless, and absolutely certain I belong to him. The worst part? He might be right.

Adriana
At forty, I've built my own empire. I answer to no one. I don't do love, vulnerability, or men who think they can handle me.

But after an attempt on my father's life, I'm forced to take over his world - the one I spent my whole life escaping.

The price of my family's survival? An arranged marriage to Lochlan Molloy, the son of a rival crime boss.

He's twelve years younger. Cocky. Infuriating. Looks at me like I'm the only woman in any room.

I've spent my whole life keeping people out. Keeping myself cold and my heart protected.

I told myself this was just a contract. I told myself I wouldn't fall.

I should have known better than to trust a Molloy.

Lochlan
She thinks she's made of ice. She's wrong.

I see the fire underneath. The way she looks at me when she thinks I'm not watching. The way she melts when I touch her, even as she's pushing me away.

I'll break down every wall. I'll burn the world for her. I'll make her mine in every way that matters.

But I'm keeping a secret that could shatter everything.

And when she finds out I've been lying to her from the start?

Let her hate me. I’ll spend the rest of my life earning her back.

Spotlight: Massawa by Pam Webber

For fans of novels featuring strong, smart female protagonists, the first in a series about the novice female American spies in North Africa and the Mediterranean that changed the tide of World War II.

In 1942, during the height of World War II, Wild Bill Donovan, the director of the United States’ first spy agency, believes women are the key to winning the intelligence battle with the Nazis. To that end, he partners fledgling agent Kit Thomas with British MI6 agent Mark Williams and sends them to one of the most perilous places in the world—Massawa, Eritrea—to investigate the theft of millions of military payroll dollars.

In Massawa, Kit and Mark discover a conspiracy by Nazi sympathizers, known as the Vichy, to shut down the only Allied naval base on the Red Sea—which is an essential resource in stopping the Nazi invasion of North Africa. As they work to reveal the conspirators, Kit and Mark engage in a dangerous and tempestuous dance of trust versus mistrust.

Spotlight: The Dean's List by Rachel Van Dyken

Release Date: June 23

AVAILABLE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

A new adult dark academia romance with a scarred hero and a school full of secrets from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken

She spent seven years mourning him.

He spent seven years hating her.

Neither of them knows they're hunting the same secret.

They call it the Dean's List.

Not because of grades.

Because of sins.

At Brighton University, someone keeps a ledger of the powerful. Professors. Legacy families. Future politicians. Every affair, bribe, betrayal, and crime is carefully collected, waiting for the perfect moment to destroy the people responsible.

Delilah Quinn wants nothing to do with it.

She changed her name, rebuilt her life, and has one year left before she can finally leave her past behind.

Then Jude Mercer walks back into her life.

The boy she loved.

The boy she buried.

The boy who knows exactly who she is.

Jude spent years paying for a crime he didn't commit, convinced Delilah betrayed him. Now he's back, determined to uncover the truth and make everyone responsible suffer.

Especially her.

But revenge gets complicated when old feelings refuse to stay dead, and the deeper they dig into the Dean's List, the more they realize the ledger isn't exposing strangers.

It's exposing their families.

Someone has been waiting for them to come home.

Someone knows what really happened seven years ago.

And if the Dean's List finally comes to light...

It won't just ruin lives.

It will reveal that some secrets were never meant to stay buried.

Spotlight: My Twin the Murderer by Lindsay Kent

Neuroscientist Evelyn Malcolm has built her life on reason. She believes in clean data, repeatable results, and the comforting illusion that the mind can be mapped, measured, and controlled. But when the man she has secretly loved is found dead, Evelyn's carefully constructed world collapses.

Now a prime suspect in his murder, she's forced back into the orbit of her estranged twin sister, Vivian—a volatile mystery writer and recovering addict whose life has been defined by impulse, instability, and excess. When the twin's DNA is discovered at the crime scene, the case fractures into something far more disturbing. Two sisters. One victim. Matching genetic fingerprints. And no clear explanation for what really happened.

As the sisters are pushed beyond their limits, Evelyn is forced to confront everything she has spent her life denying: the unreliability of memory, the fragility of identity, and the terrifying possibility that the mind is not a neutral observer, but an active participant in its own deception. And clearing her name may require the one thing she has always avoided: trusting her sister.

Propulsive, hallucinatory, and darkly funny, My Twin the Murderer is a mind-bending psychological thriller about the hidden costs of believing we are fully in control.
