Other Indie FavoritesThe Good Girl: A Novel, by Mary Kubica (Harlequin MIRA, $24.95) “Independent and headstrong, Mia Dennett moves to the beat of her own drum. She has proudly distanced herself from her prominent, wealthy, and uptight Chicago family to teach art at an inner city high school. But when she is abducted and held captive in a remote cabin in rural Minnesota, she wonders if her estranged family is looking for her or even knows she is missing. With Minnesota’s harsh winter bearing down, Mia and Colin, captive and captor, must forge a peace or succumb to the elements. As Colin’s motives become clear, an emotional entanglement ensues that is provocative, thrilling, and absolutely page-turning!” —Melanie Green, Bluebird Books, Hutchinson, KS
