Now she'll have to trust her deepest instincts and take the ultimate risk for the people she loves and the justice she believes in.

With the scintillating sensuality and high-voltage thrills that distinguish all of her blockbusters of romantic suspense, Linda Howard grips the imagination and touches the heart as only she can, in her sixth dazzling New York Times bestseller. A talented painter in her early thirties, Paris Sweeney has achieved enviable success: her work sells at an exclusive New York City gallery, and her popularity is at an all-time high. Life is good, and Sweeney, as she prefers to be called, is content. But lately, Sweeney's dreams -- lush, vivid, and drenched in vibrant hues -- seem to echo a growing restlessness that has taken hold of her. Suddenly, impulsively, Sweeney falls into a night of intense passion with millionaire Richard Worth. Now, the true dangers of her all-consuming urges are about to be revealed where Sweeney least expects it: in her paintings. After a creative frenzy she can barely recall, Sweeney discovers she has rendered a disturbing image -- a graphic murder scene. Against her better instincts, she returns to the canvas time and again, filling out each chilling detail piece by piece. But when a shattering, real-life murder mirrors her creation, Sweeney falls under suspicion. With every stroke of her brush, she risks incriminating herself with her inexplicable knowledge of a deadly crime. And every desire -- including her hunger for Richard -- is loaded with uncertainty as Sweeney races to unmask a killer.

In Death Angel, bad girls can wake up and trust their hearts, bad guys can fight for what's right... and dying just might be the only way to change one's life. A striking beauty with a taste for diamonds and dangerous men, Drea Rousseau is more than content to be arm candy for Rafael Salinas, a notorious crime lord who deals with betrayal through quick and treacherous means: a bullet to the back of the head, a blade across the neck, an incendiary device beneath a car. Eager to break with Rafael, Drea makes a fateful decision and a desperate move, stealing a mountain of cash from the malicious killer. After all, an escape needs to be financed. Though Drea runs, Salinas knows she can't hide -- and he dispatches a cold-blooded assassin in hot pursuit, resulting in a tragic turn of events. Or does it? Left for dead, Drea miraculously returns to the realm of the living a changed woman. She's no longer shallow and selfish, no longer steals or cheats or sells herself short. Both humbled and thrilled with this unexpected second chance, Drea embraces her new life. But in order to feel safe and sound -- and stop nervously looking over her shoulder -- she will need to take down those who marked her for death. Joining forces with the FBI, supplying vital inside information that only she can provide, Drea finds herself working with the most dangerous man she's ever known. Yet the closer they get to danger, the more intense their feelings for each other become, and the more Drea realizes that the cost of her new life may be her life itself -- as well as her heart.

In her thrill-packed trilogy Cold Truth, Hard Truth, and Dark Truth, Mariah Stewart proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she can brilliantly and suspensefully handle the truth. Can you? Then prepare yourself for the shocking, eye-opening Final Truth, in which a woman who specializes in exposing lies finds herself trapped in a real-life nightmare. All that stands between Lester Ray Barnes and the state of Florida's death chamber is a judge's signature. He is sentenced to die for the rape and murder of a young woman, his conviction hinging on two pieces of evidence: DNA testing and an eyewitness who placed him at the scene. But when the story breaks that the DNA testimony at trial had been fabricated and that the eyewitness was coerced by a cop, all hell breaks loose. In the absence of credible evidence to sustain the conviction, the court is forced to set Lester Ray free. It's the sort of circus the media adore -- until it turns into the kind of Grimm's fairy tale the media love even more. Intrigued by the story of a young man railroaded by justice, true-crime writer Regan Landry is drawn into Lester Ray's camp like a moth to a flame. For Regan, writing is a way to stay connected to her late literary-legend father, and her knack for detective work makes her a natural when it comes to uncovering new leads in even the murkiest mysteries. Eager for the spotlight, Lester Ray willingly agrees to work with Regan on a tell-all about his experience as an innocent man on death row. But less than a week after leaving prison, he vanishes from the Sunshine State. Soon after, darkness descends on the outer banks of North Carolina as a string of women are raped and murdered in a frenzied spree. Fearing the worst, Regan, along with Special Agent Mitch Peyton and the FBI, sweeps in to confront the unspeakable: the horrifying possibility that they have helped to free a cunning monster with an insatiable appetite for death -- and a ruthless determination never to be caged again.

Divorcee Tracy Marx has moved to Santa Ysabel to start a new practice and maybe find someone to take her outside the boundaries of vanilla sex. Instead she finds trouble in the form of a cowboy whose dark, sexy gaze lights her up and could also destroy any chance of success. The best thing to do is stay far, far away from him. When Dolan shows up for the promised night of fantasy, hes shocked to find Tracy has traded her medical bag for a bustier and bondage. Tracy would like nothing better than to slap that smirk right off his face, but the prospect of being sandwiched between two men is impossible to resist even if one of them is her adversary. Besides no one calls her chicken.

Posing as a butler, he appears at the door of Wolcott?s fiercely independent sister, Abigail, charged with uncovering the strange and sinister happenings at her country home.

Clearly, she has bigger problems than a dizzying attraction to a male. Soon, though, sleepless nights filled with danger and desire form a volatile mix that promises to turn Abigail from a confirmed spinster into a woman ready for love?

The Earl of St. Merryn needs a woman.  His intentions are purely practical -- he simply wants someone sensible and suitably lovely to pose as his betrothed for a few weeks among polite society.  He has his own agenda to pursue, and a false fiancée will keep the husband-hunters at bay while he goes about his business.  The simplest solution is to hire a paid companion.  Finding the right candidate proves more of a challenge than he expected.  But when he encounters Miss Elenora Lodge, the fire in her golden eyes sways him to make a generous offer.    Her sorry financial circumstances -- and dreams of a life of independence -- convince her to accept.  But St. Merryn appears to be hiding a secret or two, and things seem oddly amiss in his gloomy London home.  Elenora soon discovers that this lark will be a far more dangerous adventure than she'd been led to believe.  And the Earl of St. Merryn will find that the meek and mild companion he'd initially envisioned has become a partner in his quest to catch a killer -- and an outspoken belle of the ball who stirs a bothersome passion in his practical heart.

A story of action, intrigue, and romance, as a U.S. Navy SEAL and an FBI agent race to unravel a mystery -- while confronting their own unresolved feelings for each other.... In his career as one of America's elite warriors, Lt. Sam Starrett can do no wrong.  In his private life, Sam -- the king of one-night stands -- has done little right.  Now, he's waiting for a divorce and determined to stay active in his young daughter's life.  But when Sam shows up at the door of his ex-wife's home in Sarasota, Florida, he makes a grisly discovery.  His daughter is gone and the body of a brutally murdered woman lies on the floor. FBI agent Alyssa Locke's relationship with Sam has been overwhelmingly intense and nearly catastrophic, yet it refuses to end.  The last time she saw Sam was six months earlier, when they worked together to stop terrorists from assassinating the U.S. President.  Much to her dismay, Alyssa is assigned to help with the murder investigation and once again the two are face to face.  When explosive information surfaces linking Sam to the still unsolved assassination plot, the stakes are raised.  With her reputation hanging in the balance, and her loyalties in question, Alyssa is faced with an impossible dilemma:  arrest a man she believes to be innocent, or risk her career. While Alyssa tries to fight their intense attraction, Sam is determined to heat things up between them once again.  And the complex case pushes them both to the wrong side of the law -- and on the run to discover the truth.  As more agents step into the chase, and with Sam's daughter still unaccounted for, neither Alyssa nor Sam can predict how hot this deadly situation is about to become. A thrilling novel that ranges back into the days of World War II, into friendships, families, liaisons, betrayals, and the code of honor that binds the U.S. Navy SEALs, GONE TOO FAR is an electrifying experience in suspense -- and a brilliant tale of lives lived on the edge.

"Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave." These ominous words, slashed from the pages of a book of Psalms, are the last threat that the darling of London society, Sir Edward Grey, receives from his killer.

Determined to bring her husband's murderer to justice, Julia engages the enigmatic Brisbane to help her investigate Edward's demise. Dismissing his warnings that the investigation will be difficult, if not impossible, Julia presses forward, following a trail of clues that lead her to even more unpleasant truths, and ever closer to a killer who waits expectantly for her arrival.

All he knew was that ever since he saw Manet Hall, he'd been enchanted--and obsessed--with it. So when the opportunity to buy the house comes up Declan jumped at the chance to live out a dream. Determined to restore Manet Hall to its former splendor, Declan begins the daunting renovation room by room, relying on his own labor and skills. But the days spent in total isolation in the empty house take a toll. He is seeing visions of days from a century past, and experiencing sensations of terror and nearly unbearable grief--sensations not his own, but those of a stranger. Local legend has it that the house is haunted, and with every passing day Declan's belief in the ghostly presence grows. Only the companionship of the alluring Angelina Simone can distract him from the mysterious happenings in the house, but Angelina too has her own surprising connection to Manet Hall--a connection that will help Declan uncover a secret that's been buried for a hundred years.

In a time when technology can reveal the darkest of secrets, there's only one place to hide a crime of passion - in the heart... The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects - including her own lover, Roarke. As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed. But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead... to investigate every scandalous rumor... to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous. J. D.

And she's going against every warning telling her not to get involved with Roarke, and Irish billionaire -- and a suspect in Eve's murder investigation. But passion and seduction have rules of their own, and it's up to Eve to take a chance in the arms of a man she knows nothing about -- except the addictive hunger of needing his touch. In a world of danger and deception, she walks the line -- between seductive passion and scandalous murder ... J. D. Robb is a pen-name of Nora Roberts

Professional art restorer Emily Greene is in no mood to see the devil-may-care Max Aries.  She hasn't forgotten -- or forgiven -- the way Max dropped into her life a year ago, stole her heart, then vanished without a word.  Max hadn't kept in touch with his father, Daniel, either.  Daniel Aries had been a master of art restoration and reproduction, and not only Emily's longtime mentor, but a trusted friend.  His unexpected suicide devastates her.  And when the prodigal playboy Max returns, her welcome is less than warm -- even though his timely arrival in her bedroom saves her from a lethal intruder.  But her fury gives way to fear when Max reveals that his father's death was actually murder... and that Emily's life is now in danger.  Like it or not, to stay alive, Emily must put herself in Max's hands.  And once upon a time, that wasn't such a bad place to be. But what killer would target professional restorers of Renaissance artworks?  Max suspects that a pencil sketch found in his father's studio, inscribed with a cryptic code, may hold the key.  His hunch is confirmed when intel from his control at the counterterrorist organization T-FLAC reveals that the Black Rose terror cell is involved -- a chilling revelation that elevates the threat level almost as high as the tension that's bristling between Max and Emily.  Max isn't about to take his eyes off Emily -- though only partly for professional reasons -- and even Emily's rage over Max's take-charge attitude can't compare to her anger at herself for so long denying the truer, deeper feelings she has for him.  As they crisscross Europe, piecing together the shocking clues to an insidious international plot, dodging increasingly lethal traps, and passionately making up for too much lost time, they realize that -- in more ways than one -- they can't live without each other.  With no chance of turning back, Max and Emily must put their lives on the line, put their true feelings to the test... and get ready to take the heat.

Lily Munroe believed she'd married an honest, dependable man, but she was painfully mistaken.  It didn't take long before her once-loving husband became a secretive stranger -- mixing with shady people and sinister dealings.  Although Lily nursed him through a sudden terminal illness, her marriage was over long before he passed away. During that difficult time, only her passion for the exhilarating Iditarod race across Alaska gave her something to look forward to, and she channeled her emotions into training dogs for the grueling event.  Now a widow, she's more determined than ever to win the race, awaken her sense of self, and leave her past behind. In the competition, the person to beat is consecutive two-time winner, Derek Wright.  Extremely sexy and devilishly charming, Derek is the consummate playboy.  Or is he? Although Lily can't deny her intense attraction, she believes he is dangerous to her scarred heart.  Little does she know that Derek is an elite T-FLAC -- or how desperately she'll need to depend on his skills to keep her alive once the race is under way. The frozen wilds of Alaska are perilous, the ice and snow as beautiful as they are deadly.  But now there's even more to worry about than the harsh elements.  Lily meets with a series of suspicious accidents, and, whether she likes it or not, Derek is determined to keep her safe.  The stubborn woman tries everything she can to shake him and take the lead... until it becomes obvious that the "mishaps" plaguing her along the trail are something far more sinister. A spirited competition and a test of strength has now turned into a race for survival.  Lily and Derek must battle the forces of nature, their growing attraction, and a ruthless assassin with a directive to kill.

The dark, devastating stranger rode into the village fair and wagered twenty pounds at the throwing booth -- for a chance to win the daisies in Viola Thornhill's hair.  The Gypsy fortune teller had warned:  "Beware of a tall, dark, handsome stranger.  He can destroy you -- if you do not first snare his heart." Recklessly Viola flirted, then danced with him around the Maypole.  And then came his delicate, delicious kiss.  Viola did not regret that she had let down her guard -- until the next morning, when he appeared at her door to claim her beloved Pinewood Manor.   Lord Ferdinand Dudley won her home in a game of cards! Viola hated him for trying to take everything, including her soul.  She was mistress of Pinewood Manor.  Yet Dudley refused to leave, even as his conscience rebelled at compromising this beautiful innocent whose only proof of ownership was a dead earl's promise.  Dudley held the deed, but at what cost?   Each day under the same roof brought its share of temptation, intimacy, and guilt.  But Viola knew it was a battle she could not afford to lose.  Marriage was out of the question, and she would be no man's mistress.  Even as Dudley's unnerving presence, his knowing smile, threatened to melt her resolve. Against his better judgment, Lord Ferdinand Dudley was beguiled.  This maddening beauty had stirred him as no woman had before.  And he was bound and determined to make her his own.

Former FBI agent Sam Delvecchio brings the keen skills of a profiler to his new position as a Mercy Street Foundation operative -- and not a moment too soon. His first assignment, the cold-case murder of a local soup kitchen volunteer, has all the telltale signs of a serial killer's work. That grim suspicion is confirmed when FBI agent Fiona Summers shares the details of two other killings with eerie similarities to Sam's case: The bodies in all three cases have been carefully posed. And when a fourth victim is discovered, the two investigators realize they're pursuing the same twisted quarry. Local parish priest Kevin Burch, Mercy Street founder Robert Magellan's cousin, recognizes the posings for what they are: The killer is staging the church's seven Acts of Mercy ("Feed the hungry, clothe the naked ...") with the bodies of his victims. But as Sam and Fiona race to prevent the final three murders, taunting messages from their target lead to the most chilling realization of all.

She has lost all of her childhood friends as they?ve paired off, but the worst blow of all came when her closest companion, Jurij, finds his goddess in Noll?s own sister. Desperate to find a way to break this ancient spell, Noll instead discovers why no man has ever loved her: she is in fact the goddess of the mysterious lord of the village, a Byronic man who refuses to let Noll have her right as a woman to spurn him and who has the power to fight the curse. Thus begins a dangerous game between the two: the choice of woman versus the magic of man. The stakes are no less than freedom and happiness, life and death?and neither Noll nor the veiled man is willing to lose.

What if the enigmatic hero of one of our most timeless love stories was part vampire? The answer lies in this haunting retelling of the classic tale of Catherine and Heathcliff, kindred spirits bound by a turbulent--and now forbidden--passion. . . When a young orphan named Heathcliff is brought to Wuthering Heights by the manor's owner, Mr. Earnshaw, rumors abound. Yet the truth is more complicated than anyone could guess. Heathcliff's mother was a member of a gypsy band that roamed the English countryside, slaying vampires to keep citizens safe. But his father was a vampire. Now, even as Heathcliff gallantly fights the monsters who roam the moors in order to protect beautiful, spirited Catherine Earnshaw, he is torn by compassion for his victims--and by his own dark thirst. Though Catherine loves Heathcliff, she fears the vampire in him, and is tempted by the privileged lifestyle their neighbors, the Lintons, enjoy. Forced to choose between wealthy, refined Edgar Linton and the brooding, increasingly dangerous Heathcliff, she makes a fateful decision. And soon Heathcliff, too, must choose--between his hunger, and the woman he will love for all eternity. . .

Between duty and desire lies a season of pure pleasure... Welcome to the world of the Harvester -- a warrior bound to take virginity, but never pleasure -- and the servant who exists to prepare him for his role.  For them, sex equals duty.  Until the rules fall aside... and pleasure takes over... SWEET RELEASE For Chur, a year's preparation comes down to the single day on which he encounters a succession of exquisitely adorned young virgins.  One thrust from Chur frees the women to find their perfect mates... yet he is forbidden to enjoy his work.  But Chur's third Harvest changes everything, for the final virgin is none other than his paratanist, a loyal servant who reveals herself to be a startlingly sensuous woman.  Enovese has desired her master since she first laid hands upon him, but her scheme to free them both is complicated by Chur's prideful resistance.  Until the Harvester declares Enovese his bondmate, they must maintain a dangerous charade of master and slave.  But Chur is determined that Enovese pay for her deception -- with delicious, teasing torture all the more pleasurable for being taboo....

At the end of AMBER HOUSE, Sarah made a choice that transformed everything--and now she must choose it all again. "I was sixteen the second time I had my first kiss...." After growing up in the free country of the Pacific Northwest, Sarah Parsons has settled in at Amber House, the stately Maryland home that's been in her family for generations. But the world surrounding the House feels deeply wrong to Sarah. It's a place where the colonists lost the 1776 Insurrection, where the American Confederation of States still struggles with segregation, and where Sarah is haunted by echoes of a better world that she knows never existed. Her friend Jackson shares these visions of a different world--and together, they manage both to remember the way things ought to be, and to plan a daring mission that will reset the universe once again. It will involve objects from the past, knowledge of the future, a leap into the unknown ... and in the end, a sacrifice Sarah never imagined.

In a city of history, mystery, and more than a few ghosts, four best friends who have never fit in anywhere except with each other are about to get close -- and closer still -- to four sexy bachelors with some very alluring secrets.... SOUTHERN COMFORT, SAVANNAH STYLE... Bebe Fitzpatrick's hard upbringing taught her how to take care of herself, how to tell true friends from false, and how to be a good cop.  She can also sweet-talk a man like she means it... until she stumbles into the arms of a damn sexy Yankee who's gunning for Savannah's favorite shady entrepreneur.... As far as Donovan McCabe is concerned, the main obstacle to his investigation is the one thing he can't help wanting in his way.  Bebe's smart, sassy, and utterly oblivious to her own appeal.  Add the fact that a Boston cop trying to arrest one of Savannah's best-loved citizens is about as popular as the reincarnation of General Grant.  What Donovan needs is a better game plan.  What he's about to get is southern "hospitality" that'll make his toes curl....

THE DREAM CAME AGAIN AND AGAIN -- A LITTLE GIRL ABDUCTED FROM HER OWN YARD... Autumn Sommers knows the danger of ignoring such powerful omens.  Twelve years earlier, she could have prevented a tragic accident if only she had acted on those horrible nightmares.  For Autumn is one of those special people blessed -- or cursed -- with dreams that become reality.  This time she knows what she has to do. Her research into local missing persons suggests that the girl in Autumn's dreams could be Molly, the daughter of businessman Ben McKenzie.  Still emotionally shattered from his loss, Ben is angered rather than relieved to hear her theory.  Certain that she may be the girl's only chance, Autumn persists, until Ben grudgingly agrees to explore this tiny, if improbable, shred of hope. As Autumn's dreams become more and more vivid, she and Ben pursue their leads... leads that point to a strange religious sect, and a disturbed zealot who may be the only person in control of whether they live... or die.
