What's a down-on-her-luck girl to do? Cassie Turner thought life in the big city would hold more than slaving away as a diner waitress. Worse yet, she dumps a drink on the hottest guy she?s ever seen, extinguishing any spark of romance and ruining what is surely an expensive tie?since it?s around the neck of wealthy, eligible CEO Evan Hunt. If only she had a fairy godmother... So when her friend produces a ticket to a glamorous gala and the makeover to match, Cassie agrees to escape her dreary life for one night. One that turns magical when Evan only has eyes for her. After she lets him believe she?s a successful, sophisticated businesswoman, he wants her in his boardroom?and his bedroom. Only soon she?s too deep in lies to have a fairytale ending, but too deep in love to let the clock strike midnight on their relationship? The Cinderella Scheme was originally published in a different form in 1998. This edition has been significantly expanded and revised.

The Rynax brothers had gone legit after Asti Rynax's service in Druth Intelligence had shattered his nerves, and marriage and fatherhood convinced Verci Rynax to leave his life of thievery. They settled back in their old neighborhood in West Maradaine and bought themselves a shop, eager for a simple, honest life.  Then the Holver Alley Fire incinerated their plans. With no home, no shop, and no honest income -- and saddled with a looming debt -- they fall back on their old skills and old friends. With a crew of other fire victims, Asti and Verci plan a simple carriage heist, but the job spirals out of control as they learn that the fire was no accident. Lives in Holver Alley were destroyed out of a sadistic scheme to buy the land.  Smoldering for revenge, burdened with Asti's crumbling sanity, the brothers and their crew of amateurs and washouts swear to take down those responsible for the fire, no matter the cost.

Stacy Easter has seen better days. Being a librarian is a labor of love -- if only paying her bills were half as much fun. What’s a single, bookish beauty in sleepy Nodaway Falls, New York, supposed to do? To make ends meet, Stacy decides to develop her special... powers. Everyone can use a touch of magic now and then, right? Soon she’s got clients lining up to receive her signature potions -- until a few of them go awry. Meanwhile, her own life has just taken a storybook turn: Leo North, the official One Who Got Away, is back in town. Stacy's best friends Peach and Liv are more concerned about the state of her heart than the side effects of a few rogue magic spells. But someone with dark intentions is crossing magical wires all over Nodaway Falls, and those closest to Stacy are at risk. Can Stacy conjure up a way out of this mess with her life -- and maybe even her love life -- intact?

Esme Cahill thinks she has failed spectacularly: fired from her New York City publishing job, divorced from her husband, and possessing little more than a broken-down car and a pile of unfinished manuscripts, she drives home to Asheville at the request of her late grandmother, Adele, who had begged her, just before she died, to return to the place she grew up. There she discovers the once-charming lakeside retreat run by her family is sliding toward financial ruin, so with the help of her grandfather, George; estranged mother, Robyn; and a travelling chef Dawes (maker of the world's best grilled cheese sandwich) they set to work. In the attic, Esme unearths a trove of museum-worthy art quilts, sewn by Adele. Piecing together the inspiration behind them, Esme discovers a forgotten chapter in her family history and her grandmother's untold story, that of a gifted artist who never received her due.
