Parker— When the body of controversial talk-show host Walton Weeks is found dangling from a tree in Paradise, Massachusetts, Police Chief Jesse Stone finds himself in the spotlight, and under national scrutiny. Then, the dead body of a young woman is discovered just a few days later, raising the pressure on the small town cop even more.

Her only option is to locate the father she never knew and find out her family's history. Dana's search through her past and her husband's heritage turns into a journey of “discovery and secrets rooted in prejudice and fear.” • Natural Born Charmer by Susan Elizabeth Phillips— Quarterback Dean Robillard is the darling son of the NFL, with a successful modeling career to boot.
