Be Careful What You Wish For by Jeffrey Archer: When Ross Buchanan is forced to resign as
chairman of the Barrington Shipping Company, Emma Clifton wants to take his
place, but Don Pedro Martinez plans to install his puppet, the egregious Major
Alex Fisher, so he can destroy the Barrington family firm once and for all. The
talented Jessica Clifton, Harry and Emma's adopted daughter, wins a scholarship
to the Slade Academy of Art and falls in love with a fellow student, Clive Bingham,
who asks her to marry him. Both families are delighted and preparations for the
nuptials are well under way, when Charlotte Bingham, Jessica's future
mother-in-law, has a visit from an old friend, Lady Virginia Fenwick, who drops
her particular brand of poison into the wedding chalice. But then, without
warning, a man no one had ever heard of takes his place on the board of
Barringtons and causes an upheaval that none of them could have anticipated.
Cedric Hardcastle, a bluff Yorkshire banker, quickly decides who he should
support, Emma Clifton or Don Pedro Martinez, and the story takes yet another
twist. Check Availability

Stone Cold by C. J. Box: The electrifying new Joe Pickett novel from the New York
Times-bestselling author. Everything about the man is a mystery: the massive
ranch in the remote Black Hills of Wyoming that nobody ever visits, the women
who live with him, the secret philanthropies, the private airstrip, the sudden
disappearances. And especially the persistent rumors that the man's wealth
comes from killing people. Joe Pickett, still officially a game warden but now
mostly a troubleshooter for the governor, is assigned to find out what the truth
is, but he discovers a lot more than he'd bargained for. There are two other
men living up at that ranch. One is a stone-cold killer who takes an instant
dislike to Joe. The other is new-but Joe knows him all too well. The first man
doesn't frighten Joe. The second is another story entirely. Check Availability
