Queen of the Island Skies
Some days, the sharks are the friendliest beasts in the water...
AJ jumps at the chance of an intriguing off-shore dive trip, but when the Mexican cartel takes an interest in the sunken plane she's searching for, the adventure soon turns deadly.
The story begins during the 'Golden Age' of flying and quickly moves into current time where AJ and her friends, Reg and Thomas, use clues from 1958 to hunt down a wreck. They thought the technical dives were challenging, but the dangers in the ocean are nothing compared to the ruthless men that come speeding across the waters.
Secrets, treachery and dangerous dives to the depths of the Caribbean Sea will keep you on the edge-of-your-seat in Book Six of this fast-paced suspense series.
Each book can be read in series order, or as stand-alone novels.
Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit
Lily discovers she has magic in her being when she hears whispers coming from an old book. Maybe now she'll be able to fix her broken life. Blaming Henry for her family's misery, Lily plans to use her newfound power to uncover Henry's dark past and banish him forever. When she visits her aunt's cabin in Nakusp, her abilities intensify, and Lily begins to lose control.
With magic in Lily's bones, and ancestral trauma in the long line of women before her, Lily teeters on the edge of chaos while running out of time. She must learn-with the forest as her loving but neutral guide-the cost of hatred, the nature of healing, and the delicate balance between saving her loved ones and saving herself.

Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel
"Wagner-Wright's novel is an informative exploration of one of history's many forgotten heroines." —Kirkus
"... a thoroughly convincing dramatic take on a strand of Indian history rarely touched on in fiction." —Historical Novel Society
"Cleanly written, subtle in the treatment of intimacies, with excellent sensorial immediacy, Rama's Labyrinth is a weekend's engaging pursuit. Five Stars." —San Francisco Book Review
Educated and inquisitive, Pandita Ramabai was born in 1858 near Gangamul in the Western Ghat mountains of southern India. The daughter of a Sanskrit scholar, she rose to become a respected scholar herself, in a time when women rarely held such positions. But having lost nearly everyone she loved to famine or cholera, Rama spent most of her life in search of a community she could call home. A widow and single mother, she became a social activist and reformer, relentlessly advocating for the education of women and the care of India’s many poor, widowed child-brides.
Rama’s journey takes readers across British India to England and America as this strong, determined woman battles prejudice, tradition and a male-dominated society to find justice for those with no voice or opportunity. The Pandita Ramabai Mukti Mission, which she founded during a severe famine, became home to thousands of outcast children, child widows, orphans, and other destitute women. It is still active today. As one of the world’s great, unsung heroines, Pandita Ramabai has been called one of India’s “greatest daughters.”

Reaching Rocky Mountain Jim: A Novel Based on the True Life Stories of James Nugent and Isabella Bird
In 1873, James Nugent, better known as Rocky Mountain Jim, is a hunter and trapper in Estes Park, a settlement just forming in the Colorado Territory. Scarred not only physically from a vicious grizzly bear attack, but emotionally from previous war experiences, he now lives alone in his cabin.
When strong-willed Englishwoman, Isabella Bird, visits the area, and Jim acts as her guide in a treacherous ascent up Longs Peak Mountain, an unlikely but undeniable attraction develops between them. Complicating Jim's life further is powerful Lord Dunraven, who schemes to turn the region into his own private game preserve. Jim struggles to keep Estes Park safe from Dunraven's greed while fighting for a commitment from Isabella.

Rebuilding Home
Embark on another heartfelt journey of family, friendship, and finding home again in the third book of the heartwarming Gift of Whispering Pines series.
When Ethan's life is upended, his primary focus is to protect his three teenagers from the sting of divorce. Raised in a nurturing environment, he is determined to provide the same for his kids. Fortunately, he's not alone-his sisters and best friend are by his side, offering unwavering support.
Juggling the roles of devoted father, business owner, and now landlord, Ethan inherits more than just property from his Aunt Celia; he inherits a chance to craft a new beginning. But when a devastating fire threatens to undo all his efforts, Ethan confronts the possibility that the hardest challenges come from within.
Betrayal and loss test him, but a camping trip with his sons sounds like the perfect escape from endless hours of work and worry. Yet the questions remain: What does Ethan need to rebuild his life? Can the bonds of old friendships and the love of family teach him to trust again?
Kimberly Diede invites us back to the complex world of this modern family as they face the relatable trials of midlife in Rebuilding Home. Follow Ethan as he navigates life's unexpected turns, learns the power of resilience, and rediscovers the foundations of home and happiness.
Reckless Whisper
In RECKLESS WHISPER the suspense continues with the second novel in the Off the Grid: FBI Series by #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy.
FBI Special Agent Bree Adams has a personal secret, something she has managed to keep hidden for the past ten years-at least she always thought so... But a chance encounter on a train, and whispered words of chilling consequence change everything. Is the truth about to come out or is someone playing with her mind and her life?

Which is a shame because she just may be in love with him.
Fitzwilliam Darcy would do anything for Elizabeth. As soon as he learned of Lydia Bennet’s elopement, he rushed to London to try to put everything to rights. But his journey was fruitless: Mr. Bennet died of his wounds before Darcy could bring a doctor. Now, he must convince Elizabeth to forgive and marry him before she is beyond his reach forever.
When an illegitimate child makes Lydia’s shame complete, Elizabeth and Darcy are left to try to salvage what is left of their reputations and relationship. Follow our favourite Austen lovers through sacrifice, misunderstandings, disrespect, a secret marriage, and a whole lot of shenanigans from the marriage minded ladies of London.
