Test Drive
Summary
Johnny Devlin is a devil-may-care charmer with a sullied past. Stealing cars landed him in jail, but he learned his lesson. The last seven years working in Webster's Garage have taught him how to work hard and play even harder, but that's not enough for Lara Valley. Lara grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and is hell-bent on escaping. To get her nursing degree, she works at a dive bar while taking classes at a community college. She has no time for dating - and especially not for Johnny, a playboy who's too handsome for his own good. Johnny's always had his eye on the pretty bartender with the rockin' bod and soul-deep eyes, but she's rejected him more than once. But that doesn't mean he won't come to her aid when trouble strikes. When she asks him on a date to thank him, he can't say no. And then he's saying nothing but hell, yes.

Grave Insight
Summary
Life should be good for Maddie Graves and Nick Winters. The only thing standing in the way of their happiness is stubbornness and doubt.

Both tasks are giving him fits. Maddie is happy to be alive, and thrilled to have her best friend back. She's also panting after Nick - and the early summer heat wave isn't helping matters. Every new encounter is steamy, and every touch is a promise of forever. When death returns to Blackstone Bay, Maddie's special abilities have her chasing another mystery. Nick is going along for the ride, even though he's afraid for her safety. He knows what he wants, and he's ready to claim the life he's always yearned for. He just has to muster the courage to tell Maddie how he feels. There's an enemy stalking Nick and Maddie, though, and they're going to have to embrace "together" before they can sample forever.

Protecting Pollinators
Summary
We should thank a pollinator at every meal. These diminutive creatures fertilize a third of the crops we eat. Yet half of the 2,000 species of pollinators are threatened. Birds, bats, insects, and many other pollinators are disappearing, putting our entire food supply in jeopardy. In North America and Europe, bee populations have already plummeted by more than a third and the population of butterflies has declined 31 percent. Protecting Pollinators explores why the statistics have become so dire and how they can be reversed. Jodi Helmer breaks down the latest science on environmental threats and takes listeners inside the most promising conservation initiatives. Efforts include famers reducing pesticides, cities creating butterfly highways, volunteers ripping up invasive plants, gardeners planting native flowers, and citizen scientists monitoring migration. Along with inspiring stories of revival and lessons from failed projects, readers will find practical tips to get involved. They will also be reminded of the magic of pollinators - not only the iconic monarch and dainty hummingbird, but the drab hawk moth and homely bats that are just as essential. Without pollinators, the world would be a duller, blander place. Helmer shows how we can make sure they are always fluttering, soaring, and buzzing around us.

The Book of Atlantis Black
Summary
For Grace Bonner, the bond of sisterhood is an exquisite, painful thing. In The Book of Atlantis Black, Bonner unravels the mystery of her sister and what happened in the final months before her disappearance, alleged overdose, and death. With access to Atlantis' email and social media accounts, Bonner attempts to decipher and construct a narrative around the circumstances surrounding her probable death: Frantic and unintelligible notes on Facebook, alarming images of Atlantis with a handgun tucked in the waistband of her pants, Craigslist companionship ads, DEA agent testimony, video surveillance, police reports, and various phone calls and moments-in-the-flesh conjured from memory. Through the construction and deconstruction of these materials and the history only she and Atlantis shared, Bonner finds questions that lead to only more questions, red flags that point in no particular direction, leaving her to decide how far she will go to understand a sister who, like the mythical island she renamed herself for, might prove impossible to find.
