Welcome to Honesty
ISBN: 9780373715985

In no time at all, Dr. Maria Keaton
has accomplished what no one else ever could. She's shaken Judge Jake
Sloane's dedication to his job and blurred his definitions of right and
wrong. Worse, his attraction to her has made him lose focus in a
trial--one where she's a key witness.
The more Jake resists the sparks between him and Maria, the faster his
professional life collides with the personal one. When Maria becomes the
town pariah, Jake must choose between the woman he loves and protecting
his reputation...before it's too late. |

So how did he land in the same situation?
Because Philippa Browne, his daughter's

her.
Joe knows he should be offering her a diamond. His family tree is
strewn with relatives who didn't do the right thing.
But Pip has her own ideas about love and commitment and they don't seem
to include hanging around. Unless Joe can change her mind. |

targeting past victim Elise Johnson and her new life, he's back on the
case….
With all evidence leading to Elise's small Texas town, the only option
to protect Elise and her boys is for the charming yet tough agent to
move in. As he becomes a part of their lives, he discovers that he would
sacrifice everything to keep this family safe. But tearing down the
protective walls that Elise has built for herself may be just as hard as
catching a killer--a killer who threatens to destroy the very home he's
just found.

The Charm Stone
Lillian Stewart Carl
Five Star/Gale
ISBN:
9781594147708 |
Jean Fairbairn's significant other, ex-Scottish cop Alasdair Cameron, might
sometimes wish he could pass judgment on the dingbats Jean writes about.
Especially when her current subjects, a set of batty conspiracy theorists, may
be involved in the theft of a Williamsburg-crafted replica of the
sixteenth-century Witch Box. It was stolen from a Scottish castle for which
Alasdair has been supervising security even though the original Witch Box is
safe in a Williamsburg museum.
The charm stone went missing from the original Witch Box three hundred years
ago. Perhaps it was not a traditional healing stone at all but a cursing stone.
Perhaps it was lost somewhere in the colony of Virginia. Perhaps someone will
kill to find it.
Can Jean maintain her resolve to abandon the academic battlefield forever, or
will she be tempted back into combat by an appealing former colleague, Matthew
Finch? And what about Alasdair, who is supposedly retired from the rigors of law
enforcement, but who is now confronted not only by a theft but two murder
cases--and by Stephanie Venegas, the detective in charge.
Amid the falling leaves and autumn shadows, Jean and Alasdair must deal again
with murder most grotesque, its roots deep in history and myth. With ghosts only
they can see. And with things going bump in the night of their own relationship. |

What She Needs
Lacey Alexander
NAL Heat
ISBN:
9780451228017
|
Mild-mannered Jenna Banks has never considered
sex a recreational sport, preferring instead to share herself
one-on-one with a man she respects and loves. Then a friend secretly
enters her in a contest--and to Jenna’s dismay she wins. It’s a
two-week stay at the notorious Hotel Erotique, where every sexual
fantasy comes true--in room after room, with stranger after stranger.
Even more unnerving for Jenna is Brent
Powers, her wildly sensual personal guide, who can’t wait to put his
degree in sexual psychology to work--by tapping into Jenna’s unspoken
fantasies, and by allowing her to surrender her inhibitions and
discover her true sense of freedom. But with the slow and steady
seduction of Jenna come feelings that neither of them expected. And
now where the final fantasy takes them depends on how far Jenna and
Brent are really willing to go.
