EVERYTHING WE THOUGHT WAS TRUE by Lisa Montanaro

Los Angeles lawyer Lena Antinori has dedicated her career to fighting discrimination, including for the LGBTQ community, but her own family’s secret haunts her. At thirteen years old, she made the startling discovery that her father, Frank, was gay and her mother, Teresa, knew. Fearing social stigma, Teresa instituted a code of silence meant to protect their Italian Catholic family—a code Lena adhered to for decades. But maybe it’s time to break the silence…

ACCORDING TO MY SCIENCE by Jen Sinclair

Dr. Ellery Conroy, a brilliant astronomer, has three simple rules: work harder than everyone, don’t ask for help, and never let anyone get too close. But a chance encounter thrusts her into the orbit of a man who turns out to be Ben Foster, the charming—and single—President of the United States. As it happens, Ben sees Elle in a way no one else has, and for the first time, Ellery might reconsider her lifelong resolve to shut everyone out. Readers: Prepare for an adventure!

ROADSIDE SISTERS by Catherine Matthews

If you like road trips, sisters, and secrets then here’s the tagline for Matthews new book, (available for preorder now): Four states, three sisters, two dogs, one disappointing roadside attraction, and far too many secrets . . .

Molly Casey hopes that recreating the last road trip their family took before everything fell apart will heal the rift between them. Instead, misunderstandings and repressed grievances explode across state lines. (Catherine also is at work on book 2 of her Tundra Secrets Series.)

WHERE SHE BELONGS by Tara Baisden

Tara Lynn Baisden, a colleague from the Women’s Fiction Writers Association (WFWA), is only one of many authors who have new releases worth talking about. Tara has combined place and a series of characters either coming home or finding home in her Laurel Ridge Series, which falls into the category or Christian Contemporary Romance. Book #9, Where She Belongs, is up for preorder. Abby’s challenge is to reclaim her place in this small town, and single dad, Mike, wants to help. In the best sense, Laurel Ridge is a character in this ongoing series with themes of faith and hope and the search for lasting love.
