Sweet Surrender, Sweet Surprise
Marriage and kids weren't for bachelor Cameron Duke...until an affair with Julia Parrish changed everything. Once he discovered the pretty cupcake maker had borne him a son, Cameron's priorities did a complete turnaround.

Public Marriage, Private Secrets
Gianna's whirlwind marriage to Raul Velez-Saldaña (love of her life and father of her baby) four years ago didn't last. Tragically, neither did her pregnancy.

But the Spaniard who stole her heart has returned.

The Unmasking of a Lady
It's common knowledge that Lady Arabella Knightly spent her early years in London's gutters. But what's not so well-known is that while she dances prettily by day, by night she helps the poor -- by stealing jewels from those who court her.

That is, until Adam St. Just discovers her secret...


The Cinderella Bride
Secretary Emma O'Rourke must step out of the shadows to bring back the reluctant heir of Kent Hotels, Gideon Kent.

Until now Gideon had refused the role he was born for. But the intriguing Miss O'Rourke might just change his mind!

About the author

Golden Heart and Daphne du Maurier Award winning author Kate Carlisle spent over twenty years working in television production as an Associate Director for game and variety shows, including The Midnight Special, Solid Gold and The Gong Show. She traveled the world as a Dating Game chaperone and performed strange acts of silliness on The Gong Show. She also studied acting and singing, toiled in vineyards, collected books, joined a commune, sold fried chicken, modeled spring fashions and worked for a cruise ship line, but it was the year she spent in law school that finally drove her to begin writing fiction. It seemed the safest way to kill off her professors. Those professors are breathing easier now that Kate spends most of her time writing near the beach in Southern California where she lives with her perfect husband.

A lifelong love of old books and an appreciation of the art of bookbinding led Kate to create the Bibliophile Mysteries, featuring rare book expert Brooklyn Wainwright, whose bookbinding and restoration skills invariably uncover old secrets, treachery and murder. Kate is a member of Sisters in Crime, Mystery Writers of America, International Thriller Writers and Romance Writers of America. She loves to drink good wine and watch other people cook.

Despite the appearance of overnight success, Kate's dream of publication took many, many years to fulfill.
