Secret Thunder by Patricia Ryan Forced to wed a notoriously brutal Norman knight after her Saxon husband falls at Hastings, Faithe of Hauekleah vows that the enemy invader will never have her heart. But she hasn't counted on her riot of conflicting emotions when Luke de Perigueux, the infamous "Black Dragon," takes her in his arms. Not only does he have a reputation for savage fury on the battlefield--fury he unleashed against her own people not long ago--but it soon becomes apparent that her lord husband is hiding a dark and terrible secret.
Follow the Sun by Judith Arnold L.A. Post reporter Sandra Garcia is assigned to write a puff piece about Rafael Perez, who escaped the streets of East L.A. to become a successful film producer. But did he really escape? The closer Sandra gets to Rafael, the more he has to hide. Sandra wants to pursue an exciting story with a big byline. And Rafael wants her…even though she might just destroy him.
Trust in Me by Kathryn Shay They were called The Outlaws when they were young, but no one in stock car racing town Glen Oaks knew the kids on the streets would grow up to be such upstanding citizens. Follow three couples as they struggle to find happiness. “This powerful tale of redemption, friendship, trust and forgiveness shows once again that Shay knows how to pack an emotional wallop.” -Booklist
Breaking the Rules by Barbara Samuel Mattie O’Neal is on the run. She's chopped off her hair, stolen a car, changed her name, and is hiding in a tiny Arizona town, slinging hash. She thought she was safe – until Zeke Shephard walked through the door. Rugged, hard-edged Zeke doesn't get involved--but there's something about Mattie's courage that catches his sympathy. When the thugs who want to silence Mattie forever show up, Zeke steps in and takes her to his own private hideaway, where the two must decide if the link between them is worth fighting for...and if they can stay alive long enough to explore it.
