Nemesis by Greg Hurwitz  

Evan Smoak is a lone wolf operator. It goes with the territory for a former off-the-books government assassin. He certainly can't afford to go up against one of the few people he likes and trusts in this world. But Tommy Stojack, a gifted armorer and gunsmith whom Evan relies on, has crossed a line. And when Evan confronts him, instead of clearing up a deadly disagreement, he comes under attack. Now it's war. Tommy's got problems of his own though. He promised a dying comrade that he'd be there for the man's son and now the boy's in a world of trouble. The very last thing Tommy needs is Evan showing up with vengeance on his mind. The scary thing? Evan isn't even the most dangerous threat to arrive on the scene . . . 

 

The Crash by Frieda McFadden  

The nightmare she's running from is nothing compared to where she's headed. Tegan is eight months pregnant, alone, and desperately wants to put her crumbling life in the rearview mirror. So she hits the road, planning to stay with her brother until she can figure out her next move. But she doesn't realize she's heading straight into a blizzard. She never arrives at her destination. Stranded in rural Maine with a dead car and broken ankle, Tegan worries she's made a terrible mistake. Then a miracle occurs- she is rescued by a couple who offers her a room in their warm cabin until the snow clears. But something isn't right.  

Tegan believed she was waiting out the storm, but as time ticks by, she comes to realize she is in grave danger. This safe haven isn't what she thought it was, and staying here may have been her most deadly mistake yet. And now she must do whatever it takes to save herself-and her unborn child.
