Chronicling the days leading up to World War I and the events that followed, Tinder Street is the first book in a saga that will take readers from rural farms to a major industrial city in the Midwest, across an ocean where German U-boats lurk waiting for targets, to the bloody trench warfare of France, and home again. ⚔️

This is also the story of the simple working class people who built America. Farmers, factory workers, streetcar conductors, midwives, and public servants.

History of Western U.S.

A biography and history of the Native American chief, his people, and their forced exodus at the hands of the US government. 🏔️

Hidden in the shadow cast by the great western expeditions of Lewis and Clark and the westward-moving pioneers lies another journey every bit as poignant and essential to understanding who we are as a nation. 📚

Chief Joseph and the Flight of the Nez Perce is a grand saga of a pivotal time in our nation’s history. Its pages are alive with the presence of Lewis and Clark, General William Tecumseh Sherman, General George Armstrong Custer, and Sitting Bull. Its events brush against the California Gold Rush, the American Civil War, the great western pioneer migration, and the building of the telegraph and the transcontinental railroad. ⚡

But at its center lies a group of men, women, and children fleeing for their lives across the vast American West, and a man Buffalo Bill Cody called the “greatest Indian America ever produced.” 🦬

Kent Nerburn delivers this essential history of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce, a story that intersects with nearly every major event in 19th-century American history yet remains largely untold. Nerburn brings to life the 1877 flight of the Nez Perce—1,170 miles through Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho as they tried to reach Canada and freedom. Chief Joseph’s eloquent surrender speech (“I will fight no more forever”) is famous, but the full story of betrayal, broken treaties, and the government’s determination to force Native peoples onto reservations is less known. This biography combines meticulous historical research with Nerburn’s gift for storytelling, creating an accessible yet profound account of an American tragedy at 87% off.

Contemporary Romance

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward comes a new forbidden, enemies-to-lovers story… 💔

It all started with an unexpected phone call. Two years after my fiancé passed away in an accident, his father died suddenly, leaving Brad’s adult, special-needs brother with no one to care for him. 📞

The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone. ⚡

Josh Mathers, my fiancé’s best friend—who also happened to be my sworn enemy—insisted he was the better person for the job. He told me to go back to California, and I told him where he could stick that demand. 😤

Our disdain for each other wasn’t anything new. It dated back to a text I’d accidentally read years ago. We hated each other. But we both loved Scottie, so neither of us budged. 💕

Now we were living together in a tiny house—with one available bedroom. Thank goodness it was only temporary. Over time, I realized the broody jerk I thought I knew was different than I’d imagined. 🏠

New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward delivers a forbidden enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a widow and her late fiancé’s best friend forced to live together while caring for his special-needs brother. Ward excels at emotional contemporary romance where grief, guilt, and old resentments complicate attraction. The setup—one bedroom, forced proximity, shared caregiving responsibilities—creates both tension and opportunities for these enemies to discover they’ve misjudged each other. Ward handles the special-needs representation with sensitivity while creating a romance about two people learning that the person you think you hate might be exactly who you need. Expect emotional depth, slow-burn chemistry, and a hero who’s nothing like the heroine believed.

Love’s passionate snags get the smooth touch in this sparkling masterpiece from Jayne Ann Krentz! 💎

She put her art on the line—and her heart in his hands… Eugenia Swift is a young woman of singular sensibilities, and a connoisseur of beauty. As director of the Leabrook Glass Museum, she’s been asked to travel to Frog Cove Island—an artistic haven near Seattle—to catalog an important collection of art glass. 🎨

But thanks to unsavory rumors surrounding the collector’s death, the museum insists that Eugenia take along Cyrus Chandler Colfax—a rough-hewn private investigator whose taste in glass runs to ice-cold bottles filled with beer. 🍺

When Colfax declares they must pose as a couple, Eugenia protests in a manner as loud as his Hawaiian shirts. But now their very lives depend on the most artful collaboration they can imagine. For a killer is lurking among Frog Cove’s chic galleries, and if anyone sees through their marital masquerade, their own secret agendas—as well as their plans for survival—may be smashed to smithereens! 💥

Jayne Ann Krentz delivers romantic suspense combining art world sophistication with beer-drinking PI grit. Krentz excels at mismatched partnerships—in this case, a refined museum director and a rough investigator forced to pose as a married couple while cataloging art glass on an island where a killer lurks. The contrast between Eugenia’s refined taste and Colfax’s Hawaiian shirts provides comedy, while the murder investigation and fake marriage provide tension. Krentz balances humor, romance, and genuine suspense, creating stories where the chemistry between opposites becomes as compelling as the mystery they’re solving.
