Stella is giving away a signed copy of A MARKED MAN!

A COLD DAY IN HELL
In Stores Now!

'Tis the season to be wary . . .

Christmas is coming and all is far from calm in Pointe Judah, Louisiana. Newcomer Christian DeAngelo—Angel to his friends—is at his wit's end trying to manage Sonny, the hotheaded nineteen-year-old everyone believes is his nephew. In fact, Sonny is the orphaned son of a notorious mob boss, a protected witness . . . and Angel's responsibility.

Angel has been commiserating with Eileen Moggeridge, whose lonely son Aaron has latched on to Sonny and gotten into deeper trouble than ever. But nothing could prepare Angel and Eileen for the boys' latest crisis: as they are horsing around in the swamp one afternoon, a shot rings out. Aaron is hit, but was the bullet meant for Sonny?

Suddenly, a goodwill toward men is in short supply and Angel doesn't know who's more dangerous: the hoodoo mystic with an eerie hold over the boys, the hit man roaming the bayou or Eileen's volatile ex-husband, Chuck.

Susan is giving away an autographed hardcover of NATURAL BORN CHARMER!!

NATURAL BORN CHARMER is for everyone who's ever thought about leaving their old life in the dust and never looking back. Susan Elizabeth Phillips takes us home again . . . and shows us where love truly lives.

Chicago Stars quarterback Dean Robillard is the luckiest man in the world: a bona-fide sports superstar and the pride of the NFL with a profitable side career as a buff billboard model for End Zone underwear. But life in the glory *** has started to pale, and Dean has set off on a cross-country trip to figure out what's gone wrong. When he hits a lonely stretch of Colorado highway, he spies something that will shake up his gilded life in ways he can't imagine. A young woman . . . dressed in a beaver suit.

Blue Bailey is on a mission to murder her ex. Or at least inflict serious damage. As for the beaver suit she's wearing . . . Is it her fault that life keeps throwing her curveballs? Witness the expensive black sports car pulling up next to her on the highway and the Greek god stepping out of it.

Blue's career as a portrait painter is the perfect job for someone who refuses to stay in one place for very long. She needs a ride, and America's most famous football player has an imposing set of wheels. Now, all she has to do is keep him entertained, off guard, and fully clothed before he figures out exactly how desperate she is.

But Dean isn't the brainless jock she imagines, and Blue--despite her petite stature--is just about the toughest woman Dean has ever met. They're soon heading for his summer home where their already complicated lives and inconvenient attraction to each other will become entangled with a charismatic but aging rock star; a beautiful fifty-two-year-old woman trying to make peace with her rock and roll past; an eleven-year-old who desperately needs a family; and a bitter old woman who hates them all.

As the summer progresses, the wandering portrait artist and the charming football star play a high-stakes game, fighting themselves and each other for a chance to have it all.

When Intersolar Mining entrepreneur Derrek Archer rescues Azsla from her emergency sleeping pod, he's confounded by his desire for her. An inexplicable desire. An irresistible desire that causes Derrek to wonder if he's been drugged or hypnotized.

Will Azsla's devastating secret destroy them . . . or save them?

When a cataclysm of deadly proportions threatens Derrek's world, they must overcome their distrust, suspicion and opposing loyalties. But while uniting forces might save a p***t, working together might tear them apart or bring them together. Forever.

Angela is giving away a signed copy of WARLORD!!

Reporter Jane Colby has seen a lot covering crime for the local paper, but the most recent murder is so brutal, it leaves even the most hardened detectives shaken.

Jane and the cops don't know it, but the killer is none other than Jack the Ripper. Turns out all the theories about those Victorian murders were wrong: Jack is actually a time-traveling cyborg psychopath named Kalig Druas. Now he's in Tayanita County - and he's set his sights on Jane.

Luckily, so has Baran Arvid, a genetically engineered warrior from the future. Baran and his talking wolf sidekick have been sent to protect her - and use her as bait to trap the killer.

None of this is good news to Jane, but she finds having a handsome bodyguard does have deliciously erotic benefits. Besides, Frieka the wolf is a scream.

Unfortunately, so is Jack.

Annie is giving away one signed copy of RITA-winning romantic suspense, BLACKOUT, and one signed copy of latest romantic suspense, DEAD SHOT!!

I’m thrilled about my latest romantic suspense, DEAD SHOT, about an art photographer on the hunt for a killer. Critics call her work provocative. Protestors call them obscene. But Gillian Gray aims her macabre self-portraits at an audience of one--the faceless brute who murdered her mother. Their meaning is clear: “Come and get me.”

And someone’s getting the message. Dead bodies start turning up, posed to mimic Gillian’s photos. Against her will, Gillian is guarded by tough ex-cop Ray Pearce, a man whose commitment to the job is as strong as his belief that Gillian’s in real danger. Yet his protection may not be enough to stop a vicious madman from creating his next masterpiece: a portrait of the artist as a young corpse.

Amelia Benbridge and the Earl of Ware are the most anticipated match of the Season.

Karen is giving away 2 copies of DIE FOR ME, one each to 2 winners. One copy will be the US release, paperback, the other will be the UK release in hardcover.!!

From NYT Bestselling author Karen Rose: DIE FOR ME.

When Detective Vito Ciccotelli discovers a body, hands folded in prayer, he suspects the killer may have more than one victim. He enlists the help of archeologist Sophie Johannsen to map what lies beneath the ground and together they find a four by four matrix of graves, dug with military precision. Sophie finds the medievally tortured bodies terrifying, but is more horrified by the empty graves that lie waiting – the killer isn’t finished yet.

The killer is an artist, obsessed with capturing his victims in their moment of death. He is unable to paint what he’s never seen, so he acquires his models with methodical care. He’s closer than they think and needs one more victim – an archeologist who’s too close for comfort and too near to resist.
