Shaken by problems at home, confused by the motives of a new love, and reeling from a public meltdown, high school hockey star Walt McNamara joins an exclusive new leadership program controlled by the ultra-wealthy summer residents of Whaleback Island, a granite and spruce oasis off the coast of Maine. But this is no paradise; secrets lurk in its murky waters.
As Walt and his fellow misfits, including the determined Aubrey and fierce Tess, are pushed physically and mentally by ex-military instructors, exposed truths from the island's past and present slowly reveal the reasons behind their intense training. With danger mounting, Walt, Aubrey, Tess, and the others must use their new skills to sort friend from foe and find a way to survive.

When Confronted by Evil One Final Time, Can Jack Hold a Hard Line?
Hard Line, the final book in master crime writer Gerry Boyle's long-running and award-winning Jack McMorrow series, concludes the two-book story arc he started in Robbed Blind with action ripped from current events as well as visits from old characters.

Not to mention fielding calls from reporters and dealing with growing suspicions about his daughter's new teacher. In McMorrow's last adventure, he must use his decades of talent in a stand-off between the forces of violent chaos and law and order-all set amidst the quiet pines, rough towns, and gray skies of rural Maine. As he faces down the end of everything he has held sacred-can Jack keep it all together without becoming the very thing he hates? If he even survives.

For Clem, summers are for Maine--for wandering the blueberry barrens, helping her grandmother on the farm, and stargazing with her parents. But her grandmother is gone, she hasn't talked to her mom in months, and her dad is devoted to the family business. Now, all Clem wants to think about is a dance audition that could get her into Juilliard. She doesn't need another distraction. Then she meets Rico. He's nothing like the boys back home in LA or the boys in Maine, either. His secrets rival her own and as they grow closer, she must confront the hidden realities of places she thought she knew. In Julie True Kingsley's debut novel, Clem and Rico's worlds are threatening to tear them apart. Can they bridge the space between them before summer is just a memory?
