In The Lady\u2019s Mine<\/a><\/em>, set in 1875, Kathryn Walsh comes to tiny Calvada, a mining town nestled in the Sierra Nevadas, to claim an inheritance from the uncle she never knew: a defunct newspaper office. Kathryn decides to relaunch her uncle\u2019s newspaper\u2014and then finds herself in the middle of a maelstrom, pitted against Calvada\u2019s most powerful men. Matthias Beck, owner of a local saloon and hotel, has a special interest in the new lady in town and fears her righteousness could also get her killed. When the handsome hotelier keeps finding himself on the same side of the issues as the opinionated Miss Walsh, Matthias\u2019s restless search for purpose becomes all about answering the call of his heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBI Special Agent Denton McClure has always believed Shelby embezzled five hundred thousand dollars from her brother-in-law\u2019s account, so he\u2019s going undercover to befriend Shelby, track down the missing money, and finally crack this case. But as Denton gets closer to Shelby, he begins to have a trace of doubt about her guilt. Someone has Shelby in their crosshairs, and it\u2019s up to Denton to stop them before they silence Shelby\u2014and the truth\u2014forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When her only clues lead to Rome, Chariline sneaks on the ship of a merchant trusted by friends.

Count the Nights by Stars <\/em><\/strong><\/em>by Michelle Shocklee<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you enjoy stopping by historical landmarks while on road trips, this could be the read for you . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Count the Nights by Stars<\/a><\/em>, Audrey Whitfield is cleaning out the room of a longtime resident at Nashville\u2019s historic Maxwell House Hotel when she discovers an elaborate scrapbook filled with memorabilia from the Tennessee Centennial Exposition, including love notes on the backs of unmailed postcards. When these postcards capture Audrey\u2019s imagination with hints of a forbidden romance and troubling revelations about the disappearance of young women at the exposition, she enlists the help of a handsome hotel guest as she tracks down clues and information about the mysterious \u201cPeaches\u201d and her regrets over one fateful day, nearly sixty-five years earlier.

Back in 1897,<\/strong> Priscilla Nichols spends time exploring the wonderous sights of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition with bold Italian immigrant Luca Moretti\u2014until a darkness overshadows the months long event. Haunted by a terrible truth, Priscilla and Luca are sent down separate paths as the night\u2019s stars fade into dawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
