Stacked in Suspicion by Simone Stier (Cape Fear Bookshop Mysteries Series)
For readers who adore stories about the love of books, Stacked in Suspicion is a delightful cozy mystery from Simone Stier and the first entry in the “Cape Fear Bookshop Mysteries” series. Set in a charming coastal‑town bookshop, it follows an amateur sleuth with an editor’s sharp eye as she navigates clues, red herrings, and literary‑themed puzzles.
Even better, if you enjoy Stacked in Suspicion, you’ll only have to wait a little over a month for the second book. Drafted in Deceit is scheduled to come out in mid-March.
Libby Page moves back to Southport, North Carolina, to open a small bookshop, but a guest dies at her opening party, and the shop is suddenly linked to the crime. With help from her assistant Gracie Jean, and a stubborn calico kitten, she hunts for a missing red notebook and the person who killed to hide it.
Accidentally Marrying the Mountain Man by Violet Rae and Fern Fraser (Accidentally Marrying Series)
Accidentally Marrying the Mountain Man by Violet Rae and Fern Fraser is the sixth book in the multi‑author “Accidentally Marrying” series. This steamy Havenstone‑universe novella pairs a grumpy ex‑Navy SEAL with an accidental bride, delivering fan‑favorite tropes like forced proximity, found family, and a slow‑burn romance that turns up the heat.
Sawyer moves to a quiet Montana cabin after leaving the Navy, but a matchmaking auction accidentally leaves him legally married to Jessie, a woman looking for a fresh start. As they share his small mountain home, their mix‑up begins to feel less like a mistake and more like a chance to build something real.
Scout by Charity Parkerson (Killers Inc. Series)
Bestselling author Charity Parkerson returns with the fifth installment in the “Killers Inc.” series. As with the rest of the series, Scout is a gay dark romance where assassins and other morally grey characters navigate danger, desire, and the unexpected chance to find the love that’s eluded them. It is recommended that you read the series in order.
Need even more killers‑in‑love chaos? Book six in the “Killers Inc.” series – titled Tracker – arrives in the third week of March, ready to deliver another hit of dark romance and deadly devotion.
Scout is the sharp‑eyed shooter of Killers Inc., but he’s thrown off balance when he realizes he wants Clay’s attention for himself. Clay has spent his life around crime and longs for someone steady and kind, and as the two men grow closer, neither knows what to do with the feelings they never expected.
