A Harrigan Family Novel
Catherine Anderson

Penguin Group (USA) Inc. presents READ PINK®—their fifth year dedicated to the fight against breast cancer—with a $25,000 (regardless of sales) donation to The Breast Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF).

Tragedy has struck the Harrigans—Quincy’s beloved sister-in-law Loni is gravely ill and nearing death. Quincy, like his brothers, feels helpless to save her, and the clock is ticking. Then, with perfect timing, a winsome red-haired woman named Ceara O’Ceallaigh mysteriously appears on Quincy’s property and insists that Loni can be cured. Only Quincy, she says, as the sole remaining Harrigan bachelor, can make it happen—by marrying Ceara. To Quincy, Ceara is a charming and quite likely deranged spinner of dreams who can’t prove she’s telling the truth. But how can he pass up any attempt to restore Loni to health? Against all better judgment, he decides to marry Ceara. Maybe he’s making the worst mistake of his life. Or maybe he’s opening himself up to possibilities that defy explanation…and will send him on a miraculous journey toward enough love to last forever.

FORBIDDEN FALLS (reissue)
A Virgin River Novel #8
Robyn Carr

Welcome back to Virgin River with the books that started it all…

Reverend Noah Kincaid moved to Virgin River to re-open an abandoned church he bought on eBay. Like Noah, the place is a little empty inside and needs some loving care.

The young widower arrives ready to roll up his sleeves and build a place of worship and welcome, but he needs some help. And the Lord works in mysterious ways….

With her tight shirts and short skirts, “Pastor’s assistant” is not a phrase that springs to mind when Noah meets brassy, beautiful Alicia Baldwin. The former exotic dancer needs a respectable job so she can regain custody of her children. And Noah can’t help but admire her spunk and motherly determination.

The pastor and the stripper: an unlikely team to revitalize a church, much less build a future. The couple has so many differences, but in Virgin River anything is possible, and happiness is never out of the question.

Jayne Ann Krentz

Penguin Group (USA) Inc. presents READ PINK®—their fifth year dedicated to the fight against breast cancer—with a $25,000 (regardless of sales) donation to The Breast Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF).

Gwen Frazier is no stranger to ghosts. She sees them in pools of water, windows, mirrors — any reflective surface — at the scene of violent deaths. But finding justice for the dead is something she’s not trained to do and a luxury she can’t afford. What pays the bills is her work as a psychic counselor who sees auras and interprets dreams. The death of her friend and mentor, Evelyn Ballinger, brings Gwen back to the small town of Wilby, Oregon, and brings back memories she would rather forget. Two years ago, a killer stalked the members of one of Ballinger’s research studies — including Gwen. She survived, but two others didn’t, though the deaths were attributed to natural causes. The apparent suicide of the killer closed the case, yet Gwen knows otherwise. And now, she’s a suspect. Enter Judson Coppersmith — a man of startling power and disturbing energy. Sent by a friend to help Gwen, the psychic investigator arrives in Wilby barely in control of his own talent and his own life, haunted by urgent dreams. His attraction to Gwen is primal, but there are secrets he must keep to protect himself from surrendering to her completely. As their investigation into deaths past and present draws them ever closer to danger, Gwen finds herself going too far — into dreamscapes, into decades of deception, and into the fires of a desire too strong to resist. . .

Freshly minted FBI agent Nicholas Drummond is barely out of his Quantico training when he and his partner, Mike Caine, are called to investigate a stabbing on Wall Street.

Their investigation, however, yields more questions than answers. It quickly becomes clear that the victim, John Pearce, was more than the naval historian and antiquities dealer he appeared to be. What Drummond doesn’t know is that buying and selling rare books was Pearce’s cover, and that he had devoted his life to discovering the whereabouts of a missing World War I U-boat concealing a stash of gold bullion, and an unexpected surprise that only raises more questions. When Drummond and Caine find both of Pearce’s adult children have disappeared, the case assumes a new sense of urgency. The FBI agents know their best lead lies in the victim’s cryptic final words—“The key is in the lock.” But what key? What lock?

The search for Adam and Sophia Pearce takes them on an international manhunt, which threatens to run them afoul of an eccentric billionaire industrialist with his own plans not only for the lost gold, but the creation of a weapon unlike anything the world has ever seen.

Bestselling author Karen Marie Moning is a confirmed Sandra Hill fan, calling her books, “Wickedly funny, deliciously sexy,” and The Reluctant Viking is ideal reading for anyone who likes her romance sexy, fun, and outrageous…and her heroes buff, barbarous, and scorching hot.

The Last Viking "Viking Series II, Book One" (originally published April 1998 & reissued Decemger 1999 & May 2004 in mass market paperback for LoveSpell, then reissued August 2011 for Avon Book)

When a rugged, uncouth, almost impossibly manly Viking warrior from ten centuries earlier magically appears in the living room of a beautiful, bewildered Medieval historian, you can just imagine the passion and hilarity that ensue—especially considering that the storyteller is the incomparable New York Times bestseller Sandra Hill! The undisputed Queen of Viking romance, Hill is at her sexy and hysterical best with The Last Viking—further proof that she, “always delivers smart, sexy, laugh-out-loud action” (Christine Feehan).

Kiss of Pride "Deadly Angels, Book One" (originally published May 2012 in mass market paperback)

Trust the always original, wonderfully fun Sandra Hill to do the wildly unexpected! With Kiss of Pride, the New York Times bestselling author—best known for her steamy and hilarious romance novels featuring lusty Viking heroes and heroines—turns the paranormal romance genre upside-down…with the first in a seductive new series that features Viking vampire angels! A refreshingly unique, utterly satisfying love story that puts the “super” in supernatural, Kiss of Pride tells the tantalizing tale of a lady reporter who falls under the sway of a sexy Norse vampire on a thousand-year mission who might be an angel too good to be true…or too devilishly bad to resist!

STRANDED (eBook)
Tattoos and Leather
Jaymie Holland

A ball-busting corporate attorney, Erika DuBois has been called an Ice Queen…in truth, she’s anything but that. Her secret desires would set any man ablaze. However, after growing up in a strict household with a dictator of a military father, Erika refuses to let any man get close enough to crack the wall she’s built around herself. She will never let a man have control over her much less dominate her.

Cousins Dawson and Holden Kennedy see right past Ericka’s icy outward demeanor. As soon as they meet her, they’re determined to warm her up. After she takes the men to dinner to attempt to win their business account, Dawson and Holden have their opportunity. They are stranded with Ericka during a freak ice and snowstorm, the worst storm in three decades in Colorado. Their alone time is the perfect opportunity to light Erika’s fire.

A little wine, the company of two gorgeous men, and a game of Truth or Dare, lead Erika straight down the rabbit hole to a place she never thought she’d go. Dawson and Holden break through her barriers and she welcomes the opportunity to turn over control to the dominant men. She’s always been in control, always been responsible for so many things…and she finds it liberating to let a man take charge. In this case, two men.

When the storm is over, Erika is angry at herself for letting her control slip—only because that puts her at a disadvantage in winning the Kennedys’ account and serving as their attorney. What had she been thinking?

However, Holden and Dawson have other things on their minds, and that includes Erika having a place not just as their attorney, but being in their lives. Permanently.

On the verge of a stilted life as an aristocrat’s wife, Poppy Hammond does the only sensible thing—she flees the chapel in her wedding gown. Assisted by the handsome curate who calls himself Sebastian Cantrip, she spirits away to her estranged father’s quiet country village, pursued by the family she left in uproar. But when the dust of her broken engagement settles and Sebastian disappears under mysterious circumstances, Poppy discovers there is more to her hero than it seems.

Danger abounds beneath the canopies of the silken city, and Poppy finds herself in the perilous sights of those who will stop at nothing to recover a fabled ancient treasure. Torn between allegiance to her kindly employer and a dashing, shadowy figure, Poppy will risk it all as she attempts to unravel a much larger plan—one that stretches to the very heart of the British government, and one that could endanger everything, and everyone, that she holds dear.

Zeke Nicholas has turned his mathematical genius skills into a mountain of money. But Zeke sits on that mountain all alone, longing for the one thing money cannot buy: a lifelong partner and true love. Zeke grew up near Barefoot Bay and is staying at the resort for a week while he’s in town for a family event. Enter Mandy Mitchell...the maid. Except, Mandy is much more than that to Zeke—she was the object of his every teenage dream back in the days when she was known as “Mandy the Magnificent” but he’d earned the unflattering high school senior adjective of “Ezekiel the Geekiel.”

Zeke is no longer a geek—he’s gorgeous. And Mandy doesn’t feel so magnificent since her marriage fell apart and left her up to her eyeballs in debt and despair. The minute they meet again, Mandy knows he’s exactly the kind of trouble she should avoid...but Zeke does have one thing Mandy needs to gain the independence she craves. Will he give it to her? One look at Mandy, and Zeke turns his relentless ability to get what he wants into a full-on seduction and he’s ready to give her anything. But can Mandy face down the secrets of her past to find a fairy-tale future with Zeke?
