Following Lori Roy’s Edgar-Award winning and critically-acclaimed debut novel Bent Road comes Until She Comes Home. Set in 1958 Detroit, it is a novel of spellbinding psychological suspense in which a pair of seemingly unrelated murders crumbles the façade of a once-respectable Detroit neighborhood.

This imaginative novel from debut author Bee Ridgway is full of genre-bending wonder.

But when Nick returns to his past in 1815’s England and is reunited with a mysterious love interest, Julia Percy, he finds himself in the midst of a power struggle that will shape the future. The River of No Return is a fresh and fascinating story that will enthrall readers. 

Hotshot

#1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood returns with a novel of family drama, suspense, and—of course—romance.
