Snow by Landon Beach
Bestselling author Landon Beach – best known for his gripping suspense novels – takes a surprising and delightful turn with his standalone release, Snow. This time, he blends holiday romance with romantic suspense, delivering a story that feels both cozy and sharply dramatic. They say it’s as if Beach wrote a Hallmark-style Christmas romance while watching “Mad Men” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

Jean Noel Mercer travels to Michigan to sell her late grandmother’s house before a holiday trip with a charming coworker, but a snowstorm leaves her stuck in a cozy cabin instead. As she uncovers her family’s hidden past and grows close to park ranger Scott Brady, she must decide what – and who – she truly wants.

The Memory Gardener by Meg Donohue
The Memory Gardener by USA Today bestselling author Meg Donohue is a warm and inviting standalone novel about healing, growth, and the quiet magic of everyday life. Described as “a cozy tale of the power of memory and the nourishing magic of gardens” from author Katie Crouch, it blends heartfelt emotion with Donohue’s signature charm. It’s a perfect pick for readers who enjoy gentle, restorative stories.

Lucy Barnes returns home after her mother’s death and takes a gardening job at a senior residence, where her long-ignored gift for stirring memories begins to resurface. As the community changes in unexpected ways, a buried secret forces her to question whether every memory she uncovers is meant to be found.

A Different Type of Poison by Liz Alterman
A Different Type of Poison by Liz Alterman is a standalone domestic suspense novel, ideal for readers who enjoy the twisty domestic suspense of Sally Hepworth and Liane Moriarty. Packed with dark secrets and sharp turns, it’s the kind of story you’ll race through in a single sitting. As author Andromeda Romano-Lax puts it, “Deliciously damaged characters, big secrets, and twists aplenty make for fast-paced entertainment.”

Molly Archer returns to her Ohio hometown for a book club event, hoping to connect with readers and check on her aging mother, even though she can’t remember the woman who invited her. As small details start to feel off, she begins to wonder whether she’s meeting fans – or stepping into something far more dangerous.
