Happy May, BHP readers, and what a month it is for new releases! All contemporary, but from there, we’ve got a wide range of settings and plots for you to enjoy. Explore the glitz and glamour of Old Hollywood, look for clues at a beautiful Illinois lake, relax at a struggling California resort with a few unexpected guests, and chase down the stalker of a professional football player. That’s not even getting into the different settings and plots of the novella collection, Sins of the Past, by three of our top romantic suspense authors.

Here are a few extra fun events around release month:

As usual, be sure to click on the cover of a book to read an excerpt!

Traces of Guilt by Dee Henderson

State Police Detective Evie Blackwell is launching a new task force dedicated to reexamining unsolved crimes in Illinois. While looking at old evidence for a couple of missing-persons cases in Carin County, she pulls out a few tenuous leads—with startling implications.

Her One and Only by Becky Wade

NFL star Gray Fowler is receiving death threats. Out of concern, his team hires a protection detail, but Gray is indignant when he meets his bodyguard. How can an attractive woman half his size protect him? Former Marine Dru Porter is, in fact, more than capable. But as danger rises, can Dru and Gray entrust their lives to one another?

Someone Like You by Victoria Bylin

New Christian and single mom Julia Dare has her hands full running her event-planning business and raising her son. When a wedding brings her to Caliente Springs resort, she’s shocked to discover the resort manager is Zeke Monroe, her college sweetheart. As the two work together, Zeke and Julia are pushed to their limits both personally and professionally.

Fading Starlight by Kathryn Cushman

After a red carpet accident leaves her blackballed, Lauren Summers would do almost anything for another chance at her dream of a career in fashion. Does that include making a deal with a reporter to befriend a former Hollywood star, learn her secrets—and then betray her trust?

Sins of the Past by Dee Henderson, Dani Pettrey, and Lynette Eason

In this collection of gripping novellas from the top authors of Christian romantic suspense, sins of the past lead to danger in the present. In Henderson’s Missing, a sheriff races to find his mother. In Pettrey’s Shadowed, the parents of the McKenna clan investigate a death. And in Eason’s Blackout, a woman is targeted by a criminal on parole.

Here’s a question, readers: if you could pick three authors to write a linked novella collection together, which would they be?
