Kill Shot : A Novel
$14.99Suspense and romance combine in Susan Sleeman’s thrilling new novel about an FBI agent who must team up with a beautiful therapist to stop a killer with a deadly new weapon.
Some fears haunt you forever….
As the ballistics and weapon’s expert for the FBI’s special task force nicknamed the White Knights, Rick Cannon has known the Department of Defense was developing self-steering bullets. Rick feared these smart bullets–which have one hundred percent accuracy that can turn even a novice into a lethal sniper–would eventually end up in the hands of the wrong people. But since the ammunition was still in the development stage, he figured they had plenty of time before that happened. He was wrong. Dead wrong.
Until they become reality.
When a homeless vet is killed with a smart bullet, it’s clear that the ammunition has been stolen, and the Knights are called in to find the thief and stop the killings. But they aren’t the only ones desperate to find the killer. Therapist Olivia Dobbs is well known for her success in counseling military veterans with PTSD. When she discovers one of her clients moments after he is murdered, she becomes both the FBI’s prime witness, and suspect.
Despite the mutual attraction that immediately sparks between them, Rick can’t–no he won’t–let Olivia interfere with his investigation. But when the sniper trains his rifle on her, Rick must recall all the skills he learned as a Marine sniper to make sure the next bullet fired isn’t a kill shot that takes Olivia out.

Sparked by the discovery of a long forgotten family heirloom, Ellie embarks on a journey to French wine country to uncover the mystery surrounding The Sleeping Beauty-the castle so named for Charles Perrault’s beloved fairy tale-and unearth its secrets before they’re finally silenced by time.
Set in three different time periods-the French Revolution, World War II, and present day-The Lost Castle is a story of loves won and lost, of battles waged, and an enchanted castle that inspired the epic fairy tales time left behind.

An Amish widow in her 30s with two teenage boys, Sarah Yoder does her best to make ends meet by keeping a huge garden and selling herbs and vegetables at the market, but it’s never quite enough. When Ruth Lehman, the dokterfraa (or herbal healer) on the other side of Whinburg, suggests Sarah try her hand at making herbal remedies, Sarah finds she has a gift not only for making cures but for talking with people and discovering the source of the ailment. But one case has her stumped, Oran Yost, a prosperous farmer, is sunk in depression and can barely function. He is withering before her eyes, and nothing she does seems to help.
Meanwhile, Sarah meets Henry Byler, a potter who offers to make pretty jars for her to dispense her ointments and salves in. Almost without her realizing it, she finds herself confiding in him more and more. But Henry has troubles of his own. He is a prodigal–a man who has returned to the Amish community after spending most of his adult life as Englisch and is as alien to most of the Amish in Whinburg as a parrot would be among pigeons. As Sarah and Henry’s friendship grows, people begin to talk, and an attraction begins to bloom. But unless Henry actually kneels in front of the congregation in the ceremony of baptism, he cannot enjoy full fellowship with his neighbors, nor can he and Sarah be together.
