Life feels almost perfect—until a councilman is found dead, and her chai is left at the crime scene.
Now the town’s gossip is brewing hotter than her teapots, and Everly’s new business may not survive the scandal. Worse, the local detective is frustratingly handsome and far too eager to put her under suspicion.
To save her café, her reputation, and maybe her heart, Everly must unravel a murder tangled in secrets and small-town rivalries.
In Charm, tea is sweet, gossip salty, and justice must be served hot.

London, 1932. Lady Victoria Georgiana Charlotte Eugenie—better known as Georgie—is thirty-fourth in line to the throne and absolutely penniless. Escaping Scotland, her overbearing brother, and an unwanted fiancé, she sets out for independence in the city.

About the book
A mother and daughter try desperately to reconcile just as a decades-old secret threatens to shatter their relationship forever in this powerful story from the bestselling author of The Echo of Old Books.
For social worker Mallory Ward, working with at-risk youth is a calling. But when one of her clients is tragically killed, she finds herself at a crossroads. Despite long-held resentments toward her distant mother, Mallory retreats to her childhood home on the Rhode Island coast to contemplate her future. Instead, she’s confronted by her past, not only in the renewed tensions with her mother but in the unexpected appearance of a familiar face—and the wrenching losses that drove her away a decade ago.
Helen Ward’s home is filled with precious keepsakes from her patients, a testament to decades spent caring for the terminally ill. Her work has always come first, though, leaving little time to connect with her daughter. Over the years, the rift between them has become a chasm, so when Mallory appears unannounced, Helen sees it as an opportunity to repair their broken relationship.
But hidden among Helen’s mementos are the keys to her past…and a terrible secret that threatens to destroy the fragile new trust between them forever.

Can Jesse trust himself to embrace a Daddy who’s flesh and blood, or will the flames of love consume them both?

Bill James and Rachel McCarthy James’s The Man from the Train uncovers the chilling story of a forgotten American serial killer.
The Man from the Train
Biographies & Memoirs · True Crime
Our take
Bill James and Rachel McCarthy James’s The Man from the Train uncovers the chilling story of a forgotten American serial killer. An Edgar Award finalist, this groundbreaking true-crime investigation connects the Villisca Axe Murders and dozens more, revealing a killer who struck near train lines across the nation. With a 4.6 out of 5 stars Amazon rating, it is riveting and unforgettable.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Between 1898 and 1912, families across America were slaughtered in their sleep. The blunt side of an axe was always the weapon. Valuables were left untouched, faces were covered, and the homes all shared one haunting detail—they sat near train tracks.
At the time, no one connected the dots. Newspapers sensationalized the killings, detectives bungled investigations, and the Villisca Axe Murders became infamous while dozens of others faded into obscurity.
In The Man from the Train, statistician Bill James and his daughter Rachel McCarthy James dig into thousands of old records and uncover a chilling truth: one man committed these murders, traveling by rail from town to town.
Part investigation, part cultural history, this Edgar Award finalist exposes a forgotten American serial killer.

In Marley’s town, the senior prank is not just tradition—it is survival. Each year, students are given dares that start as harmless fun: egging houses, glitter bombs, farm animals in the school halls. But the deeper you go, the darker the game becomes.
Everyone knows refusing a dare means humiliation, maybe even exile from your peers. Everyone also knows saying yes can ruin your future. Arrests, expulsion, even death have followed in the wake of past games.
When Marley and her friends accept their dares, the line between joke and nightmare blurs fast. What begins with laughter spirals into a dangerous cycle where secrets surface and loyalty is tested.
In a town built on dares, the biggest risk is deciding when to stop playing.
