Romantic Suspense--Thief Of The Heart, by Rena Koontz
From the moment he saw Jennifer Roberts, his instinct was to
protect her. But she wanted nothing to do with him.
In fact, the last thing Jennifer wanted to do that Saturday
afternoon was call the police. She didn’t trust them. She’d fallen hard for a cop
– the exact person every child is told to run to for safety – and he betrayed
her and broke her heart. She wouldn’t make that mistake again.
But she has no choice when she discovers her apartment has
been broken into and five simple words turn her world upside down: “You called
for the police?” When blond-haired, blue-eyed Max Domer walks in her doorway he
is ready to protect and serve. It is his motto. It will be her downfall.
Max is ready to leave Center City behind, cut all ties and
make a fresh start as a detective on the West Coast. There is nothing unusual
about the burglary call he catches, except that the woman is stunning and, for
some reason, antagonistic toward police. But she’s caught in someone’s crosshairs
– her car is stolen, her father dies and murder comes to her doorstep – and,
like it or not, she needs his help.
But while Max is on the trail of a master crime ring, the
real thief sets about stealing his heart. And Jennifer, who innocently let’s
her guard down, learns she can’t judge a man by his uniform. They are polar
opposites destined to stand together and fight for their future.
Historical Romance--Gambling On A Scoundrel, by Sheridan Jeane
Lonely railroad heiress Tempy Bliss, a budding journalist, is elated that Charles Dickens wants her to write an article about gambling for his newspaper. But when casino owner Lucien Hamlin bans Tempy from his gambling palace once he learns of her profession, she begins to suspect a much bigger story is at hand. Lucien’s secretive behavior goads Tempy into uncovering the real story.
Lucien is a hard-driving businessman whose life is about to be upended by his unexpected inheritance of an earldom. It’s a fact he’d rather not have announced, and certainly not in newsprint, until after the sale of his casino.
With Tempy's career goals progressing, as well as her dreams of becoming a part of her fiancé's family, she refuses to accept defeat even when Ernest sends her a letter from Paris informing her he's fallen in love with a Frenchwoman. Tempy resolves to win him back while simultaneously conducting her research at the sumptuous Hamlin House casino.
When Ernest returns to London with his new fiancée, Tempy witnesses their open affection for one another and is heartbroken. This inspires her to transform herself into the kind of woman Ernest seems to want, and she makes a deal with Lucien Hamlin to help her. Tempy isn't at all interested in a loner like Lucien, and Lucien wants to avoid the complications swirling around Tempy Bliss, the notorious "poor little rich girl."
In Tempy's quest to transform herself she learns to walk, talk, drink…and even to kiss like a courtesan. Her journey takes her from London to Bath and across Somerset County to the town of Porlock. She learns a great deal about the seedier side of casinos and gambling. She also continues to conduct research for her article, meets a reformed gambler, and works with both Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins.

A Mind Sweeper novella that peeks into Jean Luc Delacroix’s
past. He has lived for centuries as a vampire, but the 1980’s may be his
biggest challenge yet. How does a nearly four-hundred-year-old vampire survive
a decade of shoulder pads, big hair, and music videos? Simple. Concentrate on his job.
Jean Luc and his demon partner, Misha, work for the Bureau
of Supernatural Relations. Their task: keep humans from finding out about the
supernatural. Not a simple thing to do when dead bodies keep turning up with
their throats ripped out. So the team’s first priority is to stop a
supernatural serial killer from striking again. The only problem is the
beautiful bounty hunter who keeps interfering with the investigation.
Talia Walker is a bounty hunter who also happens to be a
newly turned vampire. She deliberately avoids other supernaturals and knows
nothing of what being a vampire truly means. Her job: find a murderer and bring
him to justice. The problem is she has never dealt with a supernatural bounty
before…or an overbearing, ridiculously sexy vampire.
When Jean Luc and Talia butt heads over the investigation,
only Misha can see that their animosity has more to do with attraction than
anger. And unless Jean Luc and Talia can set aside their troubled pasts and
learn to trust each other, they may never have an opportunity to explore their
true feelings. Especially when they come face to face with the killer.
