Santa Lucia by Michelle Damiani

An Italian café. A barista with an eye for trouble. And a village determined to create as much as possible.

Chiara has presided over the espresso machine at Bar Birbo for as long as anyone can remember. In Santa Lucia, this is the only place to go for a cappuccino served with a side of gossip.

The town's residents rely on each other and feel almost like a family, but their secrets are kept well hidden. While romance is in the air for some, the truth behind the love affairs is far more complicated than anyone can imagine. 

When everyone has ulterior motives and unspoken desires, it's only a matter of time before things finally come to a head. And unfortunately for the townspeople, the revelations could prove deadly.

Can the residents of Santa Lucia survive the inferno of their own making?

Thanks @Stargazer77 ! I'm passing on this one, but I'm glad to "see" you. I searched the website and their Facebook and couldn't find anything. Where did you find it?

Securing Caite by Susan Stoker

Caite McCallan is a Department of Defense admin working in Bahrain when a glitchy elevator, of all things, leads to an unexpected invitation to dinner by a gorgeous Navy SEAL. When he later stands her up, Caite's understandably upset...until she overhears a plot that confirms Rocco didn't blow her off. Instead, he and two fellow SEALs are in danger--and Caite is forced to put her career and her life on the line to save them.

Blake "Rocco" Wise never expected his routine mission to go sideways, but he was even more surprised to find himself and his teammates rescued by the adorably shy woman he met in a stalled elevator. Caite's selfless act saved his life, but when attempts on her own make it clear someone wants her gone, it's Rocco's turn to protect the brave, sweet, sexy woman. The longer he knows her, the more he wants her...but keeping Caite close could bring her nearer to the enemy than ever before.

@beach-mom I also had a hard time finding it!  I think I found it on BN's website, maybe in the Readouts section.  Good to "see" you, too!

Speechless by Madeline Freeman

Also available for Amazon Kindle.

A girl with a special ability. A secret mission. A discovery that will change everything.

Aria lives in two worlds. The first is the flooded ruins of Los Angeles, where she spends her days scavenging for long-forgotten treasures. 

The second is the surface, where if people knew she could breathe under water, she would be shipped off to a detention facility for aberrations. Her only reprieve from reality is The Colonists, which live-streams the life of her longtime crush, Enrique.

When the opportunity to join the Colonists arises, Aria leaves everything behind to try out for a life of adventure—and, perhaps, romance.

But the selection process is more perilous than she could have imagined, and when her secret comes out, the real danger begins.


From USA Today-bestselling author Madeline Freeman comes a futuristic spin on The Little Mermaid, full of adventure, romance, and out-of-this-world excitement. Fans of Marissa Meyer will love this pulse-pounding retelling!

If you love twisted fairytale retellings, fast-paced action, and forbidden romance, buy now to start thrilling new series today!
