Batter Off Dead by Maymee Bell

For fans of Joanne Fluke and Leslie Meier comes the second in Maymee Bell’s delectable Southern Cake Baker mysteries.

Vanquishing
the villain who vitiated a village vintner vexes vaunted pastry chef
Sophia Cummings in this sweetly sinister second Southern Cake Baker
mystery.

Sophia Cummings may be unlucky in love, but she
knows that the way to a man’s heart is through his sweet tooth. This
evening, she plans to use that knowledge—and her skills as a New York
City-trained pastry chef—to open the hearts and wallets of Rumford,
Kentucky’s richest men. Sophia, proprietress of For Goodness Cakes, has
been commissioned to cater the Heart of the Town Library charity
fundraiser at Grape Valley Winery. She’s spent all her dough to make
this a successful event, raise her profile, and win more plum catering
jobs.

At first, the going is as smooth as an elegant chocolate
ganache. After nibbling Sophia’s tasty treats, Ray Peel, the winery’s
landlord, announces he will pay off Rumford’s library loan. But the
evening soon turns decidedly frosty when Ray is murdered—before he can
make good on his promise, and before he can pay Sophia for her catering
services.

For Goodness Cakes will collapse if Sophia can’t
collect what she’s owed. So Sophia once again puts on her sleuthing
apron to figure out who iced Ray. A glass of your favorite red or white
is the perfect accompaniment to Maymee Bell’s scrumptious Batter Off Dead―with authentic Southern recipes!

New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry returns to the world of Rot & Ruin with this first novel in a brand-new series that’s more thrilling and filled with exceptionally terrifying adventures.

Ever
since her mother’s death, Gabriella “Gutsy” Gomez has spent her days
flying under the radar. But when her mother’s undead body is returned to
her doorstep from the grave and Gutsy witnesses a pack of ravagers
digging up Los Muertos—her mother’s name for the undead—she realizes that life finds you no matter how hard you try to hide from it.

Meanwhile,
Benny Imura and his gang set out on a journey to finish what Captain
Joe Ledger started: they’re going to find a cure. After what they went
through in the Rot and Ruin, they think they’ve seen it all, but as they
venture into new and unexplored territory, they soon learn that the
zombies they fought before were nothing compared to what they’ll face in
the wild beyond the peace and safety of their fortified town.

A brilliantly funny, scorchingly sexy new romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely!

Picture this – I’m ready to win back the love of my life, and I’m going big this time.
We’re talking boom box, sing her name in the rain, let the whole damn
neighborhood know I’m good and ready this time around. After all, if
you’re going to grand gesture the ever-loving hell out of a second
chance, you need to pull out all the stops.

There’s only one little problem.

My college girlfriend isn’t the one who shows up when I play my “I’ll do anything to win you back” tune.

The
woman who flings open the second-floor window tells me my ex doesn’t
live here anymore. But she’ll help me win her back. Anything for
romance, anything for a guy so willing to go big for love. And that’s
what I want at first. Until I get to know my new “romance coach” and
discover she’s funny, clever, and keeps me on my toes. And boy, do I
ever need that.

Now I don’t want to win anyone else’s heart. I want the woman who’s been helping me all along.

Trouble
is – she thinks I’m in love with someone else, and when we take off on a
road trip, everything I think I know about women is about to be
unzipped and turned inside out.

On their first date back
in law school, Natalie and Will Clarke bonded over drinks, dinner and
whether they could get away with murder. Now married, they’ll put the
latter to the test when an unchecked danger in their community places
their son in jeopardy. Working as a criminal defense attorney, Nat
refuses to rely on the broken legal system to keep her family safe. She
knows that if you want justice…you have to get it yourself.

Shocked
to discover Nat’s taken matters into her own hands, Will has no choice
but to dirty his, also. His family is in way too deep to back down now.
He’s just not sure he recognizes the woman he married. Nat’s always been
fiercely protective, but never this ruthless or calculating. With the
police poking holes in their airtight plan, what will be the first to
fall apart: their scandalous secret—or their marriage?
