In this Hugo-winner from Connie Willis, when too many jumps back to 1940 leave 21st century Oxford history student Ned Henry exhausted, a relaxing trip to Victorian England seems the perfect solution. But complexities like recalcitrant rowboats, missing cats, and love at first sight make Ned's holiday anything but restful—to say nothing of the way hideous pieces of Victorian art can jeopardize the entire course of history.

Kira no longer runs to the door when Gemma comes home. She lifts her head from the spot by the window where the afternoon sun pools on the hardwood, and her tail sweeps the floor in a slow arc, and that is enough. The veterinarian has been honest: months, not years. Good months. Let her have them. So Gemma does, learning what it means to grieve someone who is still there, to love a dog who is slowly releasing her grip on the world with the same patient grace she brought to everything else. Atticus is four months old. The cabin is full in a way it has never been. Marco’s coffee mug is ...

A cottage that has waited forty years. A dog who has already made up his mind. A woman who has forgotten how to stay. Eden Ellis has always been useful. Helpful in a crisis. Easy to have around. Good at leaving before anyone notices she never truly arrived. So when a business failure sends her back to the village of Thistle Mead, she tells herself it is temporary.

And absolutely no intention of taking responsibility for a large, elderly, grey-muzzled dog who has calmly installed himself on the doorstep of a ...

Four psychological cozy mysteries. One small town on Cape Cod. And a dog who knows when something is wrong before anyone else does. Former psychotherapist Molly McBeal arrived in Blue Heron Bay with a dream, a coffee shop in the making, and Star — the mini Aussiedoodle who chose her at a Colorado shelter on the way across the country. What she didn't expect was to find herself reading micro-expressions across crime scenes instead of across her old therapy office, or to discover that twenty years of listening to people had prepared her for something she never asked for. Across these first ...

Ken Foster never intended to adopt an abandoned dog. But after bringing Brando home, he notices how many homeless strays there are in the city. Suddenly, he sees them everywhere and finds himself unable to resist taking them home. But what he gains from them in return is far richer than his own expense.

In Carraway, Colorado, the dog park has three rules: pick up after your pet, keep them leashed until you reach the run, and don't dig up the town councilman. Rosie the basset hound just broke rule three. Now Lorraine Mercer (66, former PI, widow, not ready to be put out to pasture) is on the case. She's joined by Cecil Ashby, a retired funeral director who's buried half the town and knows where all the secrets went with them, and Dixie Farrow, a stroke survivor and a total wildcard with a sharp tongue, a sharper mind, and zero patience for nonsense. The victim? Wade Purcell—councilman, ...

After several years dreaming of a different lifestyle, we finally hit the road. We set out on our journey from Brighton, England, with our boy, a dog and three horses... fate led us to Paradise...a derelict, dirt floored ruin on the banks of a crystal clear river in the mountains of Portugal. Steve, my husband, and myself, were both enchanted at first sight by the stunning location of the ruin. It was surrounded by trees, and so quiet, just birdsong and the burble of the river. But the ruin had no electricity, running water, or telephone connection. There were no services at all. It would ...

Three retirees. Three dogs. One body at the bottom of the town wishing well. Somebody's wish definitely did NOT come true. When a storm cracks open the hillside beneath Carraway, Colorado's old wishing well, a generation of tossed coins come tumbling out—along with the remains of someone who went missing nearly fifty years ago. The bones belong to Karen Briggs, a girl who vanished on prom night in 1974. The town buried her memory. The mountain buried the rest. Lorraine Mercer sat two rows over from Karen in freshman English. She remembers the red braid, the big laugh, the doodles she left...

Nessa Mintz knew the rule—she just never planned on following it. Rule #1 of being a supervillain: Don’t fall for the hero. (Seriously. Don’t.) Nessa has perfected the art of the accidental rescue — Ferris wheels, jumbotrons, whatever it takes to manufacture a moment with Thunderbolt. It's all part of the Ladies in Leather’s master plan: get close, expose the Wonderful Wons' darkest secrets, and finally get justice for the forty-two people they failed. Clean. Clinical. Villainous. Except nobody told her heart. For someone who can read every mind she touches, Nessa is doing an ...

But her fresh start collapses when local painter Luna Ashworth disappears—and Molly becomes the last person seen with her. With the police chief nursing a grudge, Molly McBeal turns to the one ally she fully trusts: Star, her intuitive Mini Aussiedoodle whose shifting blue eyes react to deceit like a living lie detector.

A dead whistleblower. A poisoned harbor. And someone in Blue Heron Bay is willing to kill to keep the truth buried.

Men don’t schedule secret meetings with civil rights attorneys hours before dying by coincidence. Neither does Star. Molly’s intuitive Mini Aussiedoodle has been restless for days, her blue eyes darkening whenever certain names come up. And when families near the harbor start getting sick ...

Albert never planned to stay long. A makeshift community of schoolteachers and half-feral kids wasn’t exactly his idea of peace and quiet—even if it came with running water, rationed rice pudding, and the faint smell of chalk dust. But when trouble brews and tensions mount, Albert finds himself doing something unexpected: sticking around. And when staying becomes dangerous, he does something even stranger. He leads them away. Because he knows a place. Off the map. Out of the way. Where tomato plants grow in neat rows, the old folk still believe in crochet, and nobody makes you join a ...

I’ve been dreaming about the same alien for over a year. He doesn’t know that. But I do. Now his face is on the prison TV, offering Earth's prisoners one choice: board his spacecraft... or stay behind on a dying planet. After eighteen months inside, I know exactly what kind of people survive prison. I've done things I'm not proud of, and I'm not staying here to die. I'm getting on that ship. There's just one problem. The captain isn't a stranger. For over a year, he's been visiting my dreams—talking to me, holding me, becoming the only bright spot in an otherwise hopeless life. I know...

In Blue Heron Bay, even healing can hide something deadly.

In Fall for Him by Andie Burke, seven-hundred-fifty square feet isn’t enough for the home-renovation-fueled hatred and the building sexual tension. Dylan Gallagher’s hot neighbor loathed him from the second he moved in, and causing a flood, falling through the floor, and landing directly...

I've been secretly in love with my best friend for years. Unfortunately, the entire town seems to have figured it out before he did. Willow Harbor seems convinced Ben Carter and I belong together. Maybe it's because we practically raise a rescue dog together. Maybe it's because he's the first person I call when something goes wrong. Or maybe it's because Ben has spent years showing up for me in ways that look suspiciously like love. Not that he'd ever mean it that way. That's what I keep telling myself. As a volunteer firefighter and the town's favorite handyman, Ben is everybody's hero. To...
