But bearding the notorious Earl of Angelstone in his den was the only way to stop him from engaging her hot headed brother in a duel. And that was why she found herself ushered into Sebastian’s forbidding presence at 3 in the morning – and thoroughly kissed before dawn. She was a country bred innocent – and an intriguing experience for a man who dwelt more in the shadows than in the sunshine. Yet as her boldness drew Prue into one dangerous episode after another. Sebastian found himself torn between a raging hunger to possess her & a driving need to protect her. And the reckless beauty would soon need all the protection she could get. Amanda Quick The River Knows The first kiss occurred in a dimly lit hallway on the upper floor of Elwin Hastings’s grand house. Louisa Bryce never saw it coming. Of course, handsome, wealthy Anthony Stalbridge couldn’t possibly have had romantic intentions. The kiss was merely meant to distract the armed guard about to catch the 2 unlikely sleuths. After all, the only thing these 2 interlopers have in common is a passionate interest in uncovering the dastardly secrets of Mr. Hastings – a prominent memer of Society whom they suscpect of murder. Brought together by their desire for the truth, Anthony & Louisa finally discover the incriminating evidence they’re looking for. But bringing Hastings to justice will be more perilous than they anticipate, especially since their thrilling very well get in the way. Amanda Scott Dangerous Games When Nicholas Barrington, eldest son of the Earl of Ulcombe, first met Melissa Seacourt, he suspected something was amiss. The desperation he sensed beneath her well bred beauty haunted him. He didn’t realize how desperate Melissa really was until he found her again at a Newmarket gambling club – being auctioned off by her father to the highest bidder. So, for a mere 20,000 guineas, Nick bought himself a wife. But their troubles were just beginning. With a villain hot on their heels, & a fortune – and their lives – hanging in the balance, Nick & Melissa would soon gamble everything on the most dangerous & irresistible game of all: their growing love.

Determined to win Nicole’s heart, Dustin plunges headlong into the ominous mystery eclipsing their future, hell bent on convincing her that he’s the only man for her. Anna Maxted Being Committed After Hannah finds herself divorced at the age of 20, she is convinced you have to be out of your mind (or desperate) to tie the knot. And life without a husband of 31 is just fine, thank you very much. She has a steady job as a private investigator (albeit a mediocre one), a

devoted boyfriend, Jason, & a wonderful relationship with her dad (it’s a shame her mother is such a lost cause). Then, on a romantic weekend at a faux ancient castle, Jason proposes marriage, leaving Hannah with no choice but the obvious, to turn him down cold. Much to her horror, only 4 weeks later, Jason is engaged to his next door neighbor, a fine baker & proficient seamstress’. Has Hannah blown her last chance at a solid relationship? Jason agrees to give her another chance, but only if she meets his terms – among them a promise to address her issues with her ex husband, Jack. Brimming with her characteristic blend of humor & heartache, Anna Maxted’s Being Committed is a perceptive look at intimacy (and its substitutes), commitment phobia, & the power others have over us. Anne Avery The Highayman’s Daughter Though her father had been the legendary highwayman who lost his life for the innkeeper’s daughter he loved, down to earth Lizzie Tynsdale had no use for romance. She had enough to do running the inn she’d inherited without falling for a handsome face or a pair of broad shoulders. But when a mysterious guest appeared at the inn one stormy night, it seemed history was destined to repeat itself. Once again, the redcoats were ordered to hunt down an innocent man, & Lizzzie, like her mother before her, would risk her own safety to prevent his capture. For when the dark eyed strnager took her in his arms for a heart stopping kiss, she understood how a woman could defy death itself for the man of her dreams. Anne Mallory Masquerading the Marquess Calliope Minton is never far from scandal. And her greatest pleasure is capturing the nobility at their worst. Donning a daring disguise, she poses as a society courtesan to get closer to London’s leading bachelor. However, her ruse might have brought Calliope too close to her favorite target: James Trenton, Marquess of Angelford, a man who appears less foolish & more dashing with every meeting. James is certain the enchantress is hiding something – and she is driving him mad with desire & curiosity. Already occupied with trying to expose the ‘artist’ who has been humiliating him in the papers, James doen’t need another mystery! But all the lady’s secrets will be revealed when they are forced to join together to find a vanished mutual acquaintance – and perilous circumstance tosses the marquess’s bewitching, irresisistible adversary into his arms. Anne Rivers Siddons Heartbreak Hotel In Montgomery, Alabama, Martin Luther King has organized a bus boycott. In Tuscaloosa, outrage surrounds the entrance of the state university’s first black student. But at little Randolp University, sweltering in the summer heat, life remains dreamily the same. At Kappa House, the sorority sisters talk of who has pinned whom, & whether they can sneak past their housemother so they can party at an out of town bar. Even among this privileged gourp pretty, popular Kappa sister Maggie Deloach is unquestionably one of the elite until she commits a single act of defiance & courage that forever alters the way others think of her, & how Maggie thinks of herself. Barbara Delinsky Sweet Ember Stephanie Wright was just 19 the first time she ran, heartbroken & angry, out of Douglas Weston’s life.

Barbara Boswell When Lightning Strikes Dubbed the Freezer Queen for her cool professional reserve, attorney Rachel Saxon effectively uses her glacial demeanor to ward off everyone – from clients to suitors. But even at her frostiest, she is no match for the infuriating Quinton Cormack, her cocky yet undeniably appealing courtroom adversary. Determined to wipe the self assured smile off Quint’s face, the legal eagle iceberg proceeds with a dubious contestment case – that may prove to be the Titanic of her law career. Coming from the wrowng side of the tracks (which lay right outside his office), Quint has single handedly revived his father’s once ailing law practice with an assortment of questionable clients, earning the scorn of the Saxon family practice. Having conquered Rachel in a previous courtroom encounter, Quint relishes the opportunity of opposing the patrcian beauty again – especially with an outrageous case featuring a flashy widow of dubious virtue. As their courtroom battle of wits escalates, the charismatic counselor begins to defrost the Freezer Queen’s impenetrable facade, allowing Quint to legally maneuver his way into Rachel’s all too eager heart. Bernard Rose Immortal Beloved When a cryptic love letter form musical genius Ludwig van Beethoven is discovered shortly after his death, so begins 1 of history’s most compelling romantic mysteries. Who, among the scores of women that Beethoven seduced, was his Immortal Beloved? Anton Schindler, who dedicated his life to serving the maestro, takes it upon himself to identify the woman who ruled his master’s heart. And through the recollection of 3 enchanting women, he learns of the loves & losses, outrages & small kindnesses of a man of extraordinary – and hidden – passions. Bertrice Small The Kadin Abducted from a life of privilege; she was sold into slavery in a distant land. For Lady Janet Leslie, there would be no escaping the harem of the wealthy & powerful Sultan Selim. But from the moment the handsome ruler spied his breathtaking ‘Cyra’, he was captivated – enflamed by the fiery desire that coursed through his veins. She belonged to him, body & soul – yet it was he who enslaved. Betrice Small The Spitfire The year is 1483. Lady Arabella Grey, young cousin of England’s King Richard III, possesses a striking beauty & willful spirit that promise to dearly challenge any man. Too innocent to know that even the most handsome face can hide a blackguard’s heart, she glories in her betrothal to Sir Jasper Keane, protector of Greyfaire Keep, her ancestral home on the treacherous Scottish border. But as she speaks her wedding vows, the Scotsman Tavis Stewart, Earl of Dunmor, strides masterfully into the church, demanding his due for Jasper Keane’s murder of his fiancée. Bold & brash, he spirits Arabella over the border as his hostage, never anticipating that she might fire his fury as easily as she inflames his desire. Irresistibly, deliciously, Arabella surrenders to her enemy with fierce abandon – well aware that the greed of their warring lands threatens all she holds dear & that there may be only one way to get what is rightfully hers. Betina Krahn The Soft Touch

Lovely but disastrously tenderhearted Diamond Wingate has terrible trouble saying ‘No’ to the poor & unfortunate who beg at her gates; to entrepreneurs with big plans & no money; & worse, to the silver toungued young men who line up to propose marriage. So far she has managed to keep her 3 fiances a secret, insisting she cannot marry until she turns 23. But her birthday – and disaster – are looming. Rugged, independent ‘Bear’ McQuaid has never taken a dime he didn’t earn by his own hard work. But now his dream of building a railroad, so close to coming true, is about to collapse from lack of funds. Approaching Baltimore’s infamous ‘soft touch, he learns she has other assets as well: a delicate, straweberry blond beauty & shining intelligence – and a fascination for the romance of the railroad. Then Bear uncovers Diamond’s embarrassment of riches in fiancés as well as money & charms. Now he must make a choice: finance his dream through a little genteel blackmail, or do it the hard way by falling in love. Beverly Barton Close Enough to Kill Adams County, Alabama is the kind of town where everyone knows each other’s business, the kind of place where doors stay unlocked. Until a psychopath comes calling. Dubbed The Secret Admirers, he woos his victims with phone calls, love letters & gifts, before stalking, kidnapping & then brutally murdering them. A terrifying game is underway. Sheriff Bernie Granger – in her first big case & following in her father’s footsteps – is desperate to stop this depraved serial killer before he slaughter another young woman. But is she getting closer to catching him – or being drawn even deeper into his deadly web? Brenda Joyce Promise of the Rose She is Mary, the beautiful daughter of the Scottish king – and an unwilling prisoner of the Norman invaders. The headstrong princess refuses to reveal her identity – even if it means sacrificing her virtue. But in the arms of a dangerous enemy she discovers a powerful passion & a powerful promise. Brave & battle hardened Stephen de Warenne is prepared to defend to the death that which is his by right of conquest – including the golden haired captive who awakens his soul’s most secret yearnings. For theirs is a passion that will not be denied – a magnificent fire that burns hotter & brighter than the blazing flames of war that engulf the land. Carla Simpson Seducing Caress The gaslit streets of Victorian London were no place for a lady like Jassamyn Forsthe – after all, there was a madman on the loose! But the brave beauty was determined to find her missing sister, so she disguised herself as a simple working girl & followed her only clues to Whitechapel’s darkest alleys & the disturbingly handsome Inspector Devlin Burke.

Devlin Burke swore as he succumbed to the plea to in Jessamyn’s entrancing emeralds eyes. He didn’t have time to find her sister – he was on the trail of a killer!
