Family Passions: Presumed Guilty / The Stud
Presumed Guilty by Tess Gerritsen
Miranda Wood had been accused of murdering her ex-lover. She had a motive and the opportunity. So she was shocked to learn she'd been released on bail. Would she have time to clear her name, or was someone manipulating her into the secret world of a murdered man, where everybody's presumed guilty?
The Stud by Barbara Delinsky
Jenna McCue had never gone looking for "stud" services before. But since Spencer Smith was a professional adventurer, he might look on this favor as just another adventure to notch on his belt. Only a few minutes for a routine clinical procedure. But Spencer had other ideas. If he agreed to father a baby, it would be the old-fashioned way. Now that was an adventure!
This volume does not contain the Jayne Ann Krentz novel.
