First ladies Jasmine Cox Larson Bush and Rachel Jackson Adams are back and up to their own schemes in this latest installment of the popular series.

If I Run by Terri Blackstock
Casey Cox’s DNA is all over the crime scene, and she has to flee before she’s arrested…or worse. The truth doesn’t matter anymore. But what is the truth? That’s the question haunting Dylan Roberts, the war-weary veteran hired to find Casey. Though the crime scene seems to tell the whole story, details of the murder aren’t adding up. Casey Cox doesn’t fit the profile of a killer. If she isn’t guilty, why did she run?

The Inn Between by Marina Cohen
As a young adult and middle grade author, I am a huge fan of children’s books. The Inn Between follows 11-year old Quinn, who has had some bad experiences lately.

Will she and her friend Quinn be able to figure out what happens to them before it’s too late?

This book will launch Stimpson’s Stoneworth series about a godly family with strong patriarchs.
