Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Big Name Fan by Ruthie Knox. Bexley Simon and Sam Farmer aren’t detectives, though they once played them on TV. Their cult‑favorite series Craven’s Daughter ended five years ago, and their friendship ended with it. Fans were devastated that the duo’s electric on‑screen chemistry never turned into anything more, and even more disappointed that the real spark between Bex and Sam fizzled out, too. The network had no intention of letting two women fall in love, on camera or off. But the deepest loss was the death of their close friend, makeup artist Jen Arnot, whose tragic accident overshadowed the show’s final episodes.
Now the network is planning a reunion special, and Bex and Sam are pushed back into each other’s orbit as cohosts of a rewatch podcast revisiting the show’s most beloved episodes. Their very first guest, a major star who once appeared as an early‑season murder victim, drops a stunning revelation. Buried among the mountains of fanfiction written about the series, one incredibly prolific writer, known to the fandom as the show’s Big Name Fan, was actually an insider…almost certainly someone who worked on the cast or crew.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Ex Dilemma by Elle Wright. Wesley Batchelor needs a reputation overhaul fast. A shadowy social media influencer keeps exposing his long trail of reckless romantic escapades, threatening everything he’s built. Even worse, he’s landed in hot water with his grandmother and boss, Joyce, the one person who has always believed in him. So when his stunning ex, private investigator Albany Keyes, is brought in to uncover the source of the leaks, Wes is both shocked and relieved.
All he has to do is stay professional and keep his distance. Simple enough, until the chemistry between them flares back to life, reminding him he’s always wanted more with Albany.
Albany agrees to help for Joyce’s sake, and because she needs the money after a painful divorce. But this time, she’s setting the terms. She refuses to let the only man she’s ever loved break her heart again. Still, the more time they spend together, the more their old spark pulls them closer. And closer. And closer.
With their futures and their feelings on the line, they’ll have to decide whether taking another chance on each other is worth the risk, and whether this time it could finally last.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Case of the Murdered Muckraker by Rob Osler. Set in Chicago in 1898, the story follows twenty-one-year-old junior detective Harriet Morrow, who is determined to prove she’s more than a token hire at the Prescott Agency, where she’s the first woman operative. Her newest assignment, a scandalous murder investigation, may be her most dangerous test yet.
As Chicago begins to thaw after a brutal winter, Harriet’s confidence wavers when she’s handed a high-profile case far beyond her rank. To make matters more complicated, she must disguise herself as an ordinary young woman who prefers skirts to men’s clothing to slip unnoticed into the immigrant community connected to the crime.
The case spirals quickly. A muckraking journalist has been found dead in a southside tenement after uncovering evidence of political corruption. As Harriet earns the trust of the women living there and pieces together their stories, she discovers that an innocent mother may have been framed, and that the murder is tied to yet another violent death.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Motherlands by Dennis Andrulis. Irene grows up on a farm in early twentieth‑century Hungary, surrounded by joy and the unwavering love of her grandmother. After the First World War ends, a letter arrives calling her to America to reunite with her long‑absent mother, Mary. What follows is a journey that takes Irene from the safety of her childhood into the uncertainty and danger of life with a bitter, troubled parent. As the new world begins to enchant her, Mary’s shadows and long‑hidden family secrets come to light. Irene must decide whether to chase her dreams of education and independence or risk being pulled under by her mother’s unfulfilled hopes.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for A Real Collusion by Stu Strumwasser. The novel follows a man who unexpectedly becomes the leader of an independent political movement that comes close to disrupting America’s two‑party system, all while uncovering a conspiracy that influences the outcome of the 2016 election. It delves into universal themes of loss and the struggle between justice and power. As the narrator notes in the opening line, “Ordinary people often do extraordinary things,” and the characters embody that idea as the story unfolds through sharp, satirical political drama. At its heart, it’s also a story about everyday people grappling with lost love, alienation, and widespread disillusionment, finding strength in loyalty and friendship.
The book centers on John Campbell, an ordinary man from Manhattan’s Lower East Side, whose story is told by his friend Skip Winters. Skip becomes John’s campaign manager and eventually a congressman himself. He recounts the remarkable rise of John Campbell and The American Coalition, a movement that gains massive grassroots support, raising over a hundred million dollars, and grows into a genuine threat to the long‑standing dominance of the Democratic and Republican parties. References to real events and political figures, including Trump and John McCain, give the story a grounded, alternate‑reality feel. As Skip digs deeper, he uncovers a hidden conspiracy within the political system, one involving murder, the destruction of his friend, and the manipulation of the election. Ultimately, the novel becomes Skip’s exposé of the secret cooperation between the two major parties, a partnership designed to preserve the duopoly that, in some ways, mirrors reality.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Pawn by T.K. Leigh. He believed I was nothing more than a pawn in his game, but even pawns can rise to become queens. He kidnapped me, lied to me, and betrayed me. Now Henry Fontaine insists he’s the only one who can keep me alive. Maybe he’s right, but survival always demands a price. Trusting the man who once held me captive feels like stepping back into a cage I swore I’d never return to. I should walk away. I should run. Yet every time I try, something pulls me back to him—the monster in the shadows with a touch that feels like damnation and eyes that promise salvation. He claims he wants to protect me, that he’d burn the world down before letting anyone hurt me. But men like Henry always have another lie, another secret, another move waiting on the board. Can I trust him enough to believe he’s finally telling the truth, or am I still just a pawn in his game of revenge?
