SURVIVAL IS HARD ENOUGH WHEN YOU’RE ON FAMILIAR GROUND...

“The only thing more fun than an October Daye book is an InCryptid book.” —#1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris

Australia is a cryptozoologist’s dream, filled with unique species and unique challenges. Unfortunately for Alexander Price, it’s also filled with his girlfriend Shelby’s family, who are dismayed by the length of her stay in America. And then there are the werewolves to consider: infected killing machines who would like nothing more than to claim the continent as their own. The continent which currently includes Alex. Alex may be very far from home, but there’s one thing he knows for sure: he’s not going down without a fight.

C ricket Creek, Kentucky, is a sweet river town known for its theater, shopping, and cuisine. However, tough times

are crushing tourism—until a hard-hitting baseball team headed by three hometown heroes begins to revitalize

the community one inning at a time....

When Jessica Robinson moved to the small town of Cricket Creek as a pregnant unwed teenager, no one expected her to become a world-class chef. After spending years in top Chicago kitchens, she’s back—and making her aunt’s diner the go-to place for gourmet down-home fare. If only she could get her love life off the back burner....

Former major leaguer Ty McKenna is no stranger to Jessica’s cooking. At the Chicago hot spot where she worked, he was a regular—with a different girl on his arm every night. Now he’s the manager for the Cricket Creek Cougars. And he’s made Wine and Diner his home away from home—drawn not only by the delicious food, but by the mouthwatering chef herself. But convincing Jessica that he’s a one-woman man may be harder than getting his team ready for opening day.

THE GRAY-GREEN SWELLS OF SAN SEBASTIAN HAVEN’T CHANGED IN

TEN YEARS, BUT TANNER WRIGHT HAS. THE LAST THING HE EXPECTS

TO FIND BACK ON HIS HOME TURF IS THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE....

W ith a make-or-break world championship on the line, profes-sional surfer Tanner Wright has come back to the coastal Califor-nia hometown he left a decade ago, carrying only his board and the painful knowledge of his father’s infi delity. Now that Hank Wright is dead, Tanner intends to keep the secret buried to spare his mother and sister the burden.

The last time Avalon Knox saw her best friend’s brother, she was fourteen and he was a twenty-year-old surfer god. She’s never understood or respected the way Tanner distanced himself from the family that has embraced her. But now she has the profes-sional chance of a lifetime: to photograph Tanner for the com-petition—if he’ll agree.

Out on the waves, they fi nd in each other passion that’s impos-sible to resist. And Tanner’s not the only one trying to move forward from his past. As the competition heats up, secrets get spilled, and lust takes over. How close can Avalon get to this brooding surfer…without getting burned?
