When Lauren divorces her husband, she has one thought on her
mind...stepping off the merry-go-round. However, her life quickly turns into a
three-ring circus: her hypochondriac father moves in, her ex is using her
shower when she’s not home, and her perky assistant is pushing her out into the
fearsome dating world. She also has to decide if the dilapidated barn and
vintage merry-go-round she was awarded in the divorce settlement is a blessing
or a bane. As if Lauren’s personal life isn’t chaotic enough, this slightly
jaded attorney is overrun with a cast of quirky characters who can’t stay on
the right side of the law. What’s a woman to do? She can allow life to spin her
in circles forever. Or she can reach out and grab the brass ring.
The headless body of a wealthy widow is discovered
decomposing in Chelling Forest.
Then a second victim is found. Detective Inspector Lorne Simpkins and her
partner, DS Pete Childs are assigned the case. Before they can discover the
identity of the killer they must make a connection between the two victims.
After a third murder, Lorne receives a grisly surprise.
Clearly, a vicious serial killer is on a rampage...and Lorne has become the
killer's fixation.
Lorne can't allow her failing marriage or her new boss--a
man with whom she shares a sensuous secret--keep her from focusing on her job.
She must catch the macabre murderer, or risk becoming the next victim.
Imagine a killer who
can kill at will from a distance. No gun, no weapon. Nothing more than a
thought.

Nine bodies have been discovered, and Catherine is the FBI’s

When L.A.
entertainment lawyer Julie Burns becomes convinced that finding The One is
"just a numbers game," she sets out to increase her numbers by any
means necessary. From chance meetings and blind dates to dating services and
the wonderful world of the internet, Julie will try anything to meet her man.
And in the process, she discovers a secret or two about the single life:
Sometimes love sneaks up on you when you least expect it--and even the worst
first impressions can have surprising results.
In this novella by NYT
bestseller Heather Graham, Christina Hardy and Jed Braden (The Seance) head
down to Miami to help out when
there's a death in a friend's family. But the old family residence, in a little
known overgrown area of the beach , was filled with legends, especially that of
a "devil in the woods." Strange events begin to occur, and the group
is left to wonder if the stories they told around campfires on dark nights as
children might have some essence of truth. Is murder always committed by men,
or does a demon lurk in the mangroves and the water, and prey upon the unwary?
It was his pheromones that did it. With one sniff, sex
researcher Leigh Fromm recognizes that any offspring she might have with the
mysterious stranger would have a better-than-average chance of surviving any
number of impending pandemics.
But when Leigh finds out that the handsome “someone” at her
great aunt’s wake is Prince Roman Habsburg von Lorraine of Austria,
she suddenly doubts her instincts—not that she was intending to sleep with the
guy. The royal house of Habsburg was once completely inbred, insanity and
impotency among the highlights of their genetic pedigree. (The extreme “bulldog
underbite” that plagued them wasn’t called the Habsburg Jaw for nothing.)
It doesn’t matter that his family hasn’t sat on a throne
(other than the ones in their Toilette) since 1918, or that Austria
is now a parliamentary democracy. Their lives couldn’t be more different: Roman
is routinely mobbed by paparazzi in Europe. Leigh is
regularly mocked for having the social skills of a potted plant. Even if she
suddenly developed grace, charm and a pedigree that would withstand the
scrutiny of the press and his family, what exactly is she supposed to do with
this would-have-been king of Austria
who is in self-imposed exile in Denver, Colorado?
A terrifying novel of suspense based on the Rhine
parapsychology experiments at Duke University
After experiencing a precognitive dream that ends her
engagement and changes her life forever, a young psychology professor from
California decides to get a fresh
start by taking a job at Duke University
in North Carolina. She soon
becomes obsessed with the files from the world-famous Rhine
parapsychology lab experiments, which attempted to prove ESP
really exists.
Along with a handsome professor, she uncovers troubling
cases, including one about a house supposedly haunted by a poltergeist,
investigated by another research team in 1965. Unaware that the entire original
team ended up insane or dead, the two professors and two exceptionally gifted Duke
students move into the abandoned mansion to replicate the investigation, with
horrifying results.
Can the love of a lifetime be forever changed by one pink
line? Dina Silver's tender, absorbing novel, One Pink Line, is the warmhearted,
wry story of love, loss and family, as seen through the prism of one singular,
spirited young couple who find themselves in a predicament that changes the
course of their lives, and those closest to them.
Sydney Shephard, a sweet-tempered, strong-natured college
senior is young, in love with an exceptional man, and unexpectedly pregnant.
Faced with a child she never planned for, she is forced to relay this news to
her neurotic mother, relinquish her youth, and risk losing the love of her
life. Then there's Grace, a daughter, who believed she was a product of this
great love, grows to realize her existence is not what she assumed, and is left
with profound and puzzling questions about who she really is.
Spanning generations and every imaginable emotion, One Pink Line reveals how
two points of view can be dramatically at odds, and perhaps ultimately
reconciled.
Declan “Mac” MacManus, some-time PI turned full-time
Southampton cabbie, has had to endure much in his young life: the loss of
family and friends, grave bodily injuries at the hands of ruthless enemies, and
the knowledge that more than a few lives have been shattered by the decisions
fate has forced him to make. But nothing of what Mac has encountered—and
nothing of what he now knows about his own mysterious past—can compare to what
awaits him in the heart-pounding final installment of The Gin Palace Trilogy.
On a cold winter night, a troubled woman enters Mac’s cab and within moments
sets into motion a series of devastating events that will test the young
MacManus to his very soul. As he chases down leads, and his losses once again
begin to mount, Mac finds himself dangerously close to a line he swore he’d
never cross. And when one utterly unbearable loss threatens to transform him
into an avenging angel, it is an unlikely ally—a stranger stalking him like a
shadow—that may very well be the difference between Mac’s final act of
self-destruction or his ultimate salvation.

year old city, add a big dose of culture clash and stir

“You are in Paris, the City of Love. You must not be so controlled. Here, have
another glass. I promise you, it will not hurt.”

the loose with her engagement ring, this is one catastrophe she never could
have planned for.
As Chloe tries to figure out a way home, she runs into an even bigger
problem—the police are after her due to suspicious activity now tied to her
bank account. Chloe's only hope at retrieving her passport and clearing her
name lies in the hands of a rugged, undercover agent named Julien who has a few
secrets of his own. As Chloe follows this mysterious, and—although she doesn't
want to admit it—sexy French man on a wild chase through the sun-kissed
countryside of France, she discovers a magical world she never knew existed and
has to decide if the perfectly ordered life she’s built for herself back home
is really what she wants after all.
