Wrong Place, Wrong Time: by Andrea Kane
Sally Montgomery anticipated a romantic weekend getaway.
What she got instead was a nightmare of unrelenting terror. The murder of her companion and the torching of their cabin sends
Sally into hiding—from the police, who believe she’s a suspect . . . and from the killer, who wants her dead.
Desperate and alone in the woods, Sally has nowhere to
run and nowhere to turn—except to her ex-husband, former NYPD detective-turned-private investigator Pete Montgomery,
and their daughter Devon, who inherited her father’s investigative instincts. Devon’s search for the truth takes
her dangerously close to the powerful Pierson clan and its enigmatic heir apparent, Blake Pierson. But with Olympic show-jumping
gold at stake and his family’s empire threatened, whose side is Blake on? Time is rapidly running out for Devon. Racing
the clock, she must prove her mother’s innocence and outmaneuver the killer before her tactics put her in the wrong
place, and one more step will mean certain death.

See No Evil: by Allison Brennan
A cunning killer hides in plain sight.
A troubled
teenage girl has been charged with the grisly murder of her stepfather. The evidence is damning: Emily was found alone at
the scene with blood on her hands, and an incriminating e-mail she wrote outlines a murder plot identical to the method of
the brutal slaying. But deputy district attorney Julia Chandler believes her niece is innocent, and she’s determined
to keep the promise she made to protect her dead brother’s daughter–even if it means hiring private eye Connor
Kincaid . . . the man who blames her for forcing his resignation from the police department.
Together Julia and Connor
uncover a chain of unsolved violent crimes tied to an unorthodox therapist whose anonymous online patients purge their anger
by posting lethal fantasies. But someone in the group has turned vigilante, turning the game of virtual murder into a flesh-and-blood
vendetta.
After evil is seen, face your ultimate fear.

Nam-a-rama: by Phillip Jennings
Everybody knows War is Hell. Only the Few and the Proud
know what fun Hell can be. Here it is, folks: "How the cow ate the cabbage" in the CLASSIFIED words of the President hisself
[sic]. TOP SECRET stuff. EYES ONLY. If you want to know the real story (and you know you do)- "Nam-A-Rama" is "Catch 22"
meets "Apocalypse Now." It''s the wildest, wackiest, saddest and truest war story ever told, because it''s all made-up, which
means it''s all real-from the oatmeal dropped on the VC (the Marines won''t eat it) to the naked movie star parachuting into
Hanoi; from the jarhead who calls in air strikes from a Bangkok brothel to the "Sky-Kyke" who fills out the Marine Corps''
diversity quota; from the businessmen demanding a long inventory-reducing war to the Pentagon brass hoping for a glorious
medal-worthy one; from the locals who''ll do anything for a Yankee dollar to the grunts nobody ever asked and never will.
It starts and ends, like all the best adventures, in the air. Almost-Captain Gearheardt and his buddy, Almost-Captain
Armstrong, are ferrying bodies (live in, dead out) for the CIA''s Air America, but they have never forgotten their TOP SECRET
orders, given when Gearheardt was delivering pizzas to the Oval Office for the CIA: Chopper into Hanoi and buy Uncle Ho a
beer. Then either shoot his ass or shake his hand (the instructions get vague at this point). And so they do, Semper Fi,
pausing only to get an aircraft carrier black-flagged for bubonic plague, have an affair with Mickey Mouse, cleverly decode
the message sewn into a lusty spy''s black panties, commandeer a Russian truck complete with a midget Chinese ''Uncle Sam,
'' avenge themselves on a Cuban torturer, and dutifullyexperience all the Honor and Glory of the next-to-the-next-to-last
war that never (God forbid) made the Nightly News. And they do it all for laughs. Because if they were to stop laughing,
where would the heartache end? Phillip Jennings'' unpredictable novel of Vietnam is an American classic in the making,
a not-so-longing look at the absurdity of a war in which the damned and the innocent share the same hootch, the same Commander-in-Chief,
and sometimes even the same body-bag. You won''t stop laughing, or thinking.

Highland Warrior: by Connie Mason

Wish Come True: by Patricia Kay
Kate Bishop
wanted—no, she needed—money, and fast. Her roof needed replacing. Her kids needed tuition. Her car was not long
for this world. Her ex-husband was a cheap creep. Until one day her wildest fantasy came true—she won the lottery. She—and
her family—would never want for anything again. She should be the happiest person on earth—right?
Wrong. Because suddenly everything
changed. Her wish came true, but now what? These days there was only one special man who seemed to want her for who she was-and
not what she had. It almost made her long to go back.

Rafael, Prince of Calandria, and he had been working covertly on the same mission when they met -- his death had been staged.
Utterly stunned, Mia is wary and delighted -- she may have suffered a broken heart, but her breathtakingly handsome lover
is back to reignite the passion that existed between them. Little does she know that Rafael has returned to give his newfound
son a proper upbringing back in Calandria -- even if it means seducing Mia into marriage. But when Rafael finds himself truly
falling for this luscious beauty, he must decide between his royal duties and the woman who has claimed his heart.
