Mary Jo Putney -- THE SPIRAL PATH

Can two people be real while living an unreal life?

Kenzie will make a perfect tortured hero--if the character's dark secrets don't destroy him first.

Patricia Potter -- BROKEN HONOR

From USA Bestselling author Patricia Potter, a gripping new suspense novel about the demands of honor -- and the demands of the heart.

Long ago, in the waning years of World War II, a Nazi train was captured by the Allies. Its cargo – a fortune in stolen art and gold dust – vanished. Now, two strangers are about to become engulfed in its tantalizing mystery.

Influenced by her rebellious, hippy mother and the tragic legacy of her authoritarian grandfather – a retired general -- history professor Amy Mallory vowed never to fall for a man in uniform. But her late grandfather's private files exposes her to a dangerous – and tempting -- world she never imagined . . .

Colonel Lucien (Irish) Flaherty has devoted his life to duty, honor, country. But all that he believes is shattered when his grandfather's honor is tainted by scandal – and by secrets that link his past to that of a beautiful stranger, secrets that someone would kill to keep buried, secrets that bring Amy and Irish together in unexpected passion and inescapable peril.

Jayne Ann Krentz - SMOKE IN MIRRORS
Putnam Books January 14, 2002

A con artist and seductress, Meredith Spooner lived fast — and died young. Now it seems Meredith's last scam— embezzling more than a million dollars from a college endowment fund—is coming back to haunt Leonora Hutton. An e- mail has just arrived in which Meredith—in fear for her life—explains that the money is waiting for Leonora in an offshore account...and a safe-deposit key is on the way.

Leonora wants nothing to do with the tainted money. She's already been accused of being in on the theft by Thomas Walker—who, it seems, was a victim of Meredith's knack for both scams and seductions. Eager to prove him wrong, Leonora sets out to collect the cash and hand it over.

But she discovers two other items in the safe-deposit box. One is a book about Mirror House—a mansion filled with antique mirrors, where Meredith engineered her final deception. The other is a set of newspaper stories about a thirty-year-old murder that occurred there—unsolved to this day.

Now Leonora has an offer for Thomas Walker. She'll hand over the money—if he helps her figure out what's happening. Meredith had described Thomas Walker as "a man you can trust." But in a funhouse-mirror world of illusion and distortion, Leonora may be out of her league.
