Our take
Coming home means facing the feelings he never resolved. In His Fresh Start Cowboy, Hugo Turner returns to Texas for a ranch job under the man who once stole his teenage heart, now his boss and determined to keep his sexuality private.

About the book
From acclaimed author A.M. Arthur comes a tender, sexy cowboy romance, the first in her Woods Ranch series.
Two cowboys will have to risk their hearts—again—to find a home on the ranch.
Hugo Turner's boots haven't touched Texas soil in almost a decade, and he's not sure they should now. Being in the state is complicated, but Hugo can't resist going back for a job working with his teenage crush. His best friend's hot older brother is now the ranch's foreman, so he'll be Hugo's boss. Inappropriate? Probably. Will it stop Hugo? Probably not.
Brand Woods isn't ready for the return of Hugo Turner. He decided long ago to keep his bisexuality private and to focus his life on running the ranch. Working next to the most dangerously tempting man he’s ever known stirs up questions Brand thought he'd put to rest.
The sparks that send their hearts galloping lead to a deeper passion than either man expects. But by giving in to the chemistry without taking a risk and committing to each other—or, more importantly, to themselves and living the lives they've always wanted—Brand and Hugo might lose their second chance at true love.

About the book
Aimen Dean was once one of al-Qaeda’s most trusted bomb-makers, trained in Afghanistan, sworn to bin Laden, and involved in deadly plots across the globe. But disillusionment set in, and he made a choice that would change his life and save countless others. He became a double agent.
Working inside al-Qaeda’s chemical weapons program, Dean risked exposure every day, passing intelligence that foiled attacks and kept civilians safe. His life became a cycle of survival, deception, and near escapes, so perilous that his handlers called him the spy with nine lives.
From Bosnia to Syria, from the camps of Kandahar to the streets of London, his story exposes the inner workings of global jihad.
One decision made him a traitor to some, and a hero to many.

Then there is Dominic. A vampire both protector and temptation, who insists Cassandra is the Bloodlight, the one destined to bring peace or unleash hell.
The closer she draws to him, the harder it is to resist. And the harder it is to survive.

In the peatlands of northwest England, a body surfaces from the bog. Preserved for more than two thousand years, she should be dust, yet her face still stares back.
Forensic anthropologist Agnes is brought in to investigate, but science alone cannot explain what she finds. The Iron Age woman buried in the bog feels unsettlingly close, as if her story reaches across centuries.
The discovery sparks conflict in the present. Developers want profit, activists demand preservation, and the bog itself seems to guard its own secrets. As Agnes digs deeper, the past bleeds into her life, forcing her to question her gift, her independence, and her identity.
Can she bring justice to the woman in the bog, or will the land consume them both?
