Targets by

So rescuing Sydney Westlake from the churning ocean was a distraction he couldn't afford. But then he learned the beautiful scientist had escaped his target's clutches and could hold the key to closing his case, so John wasn't letting her out of his sight. Sydney claimed she was more than willing to help, especially if it meant securing her twin sister's safety, but danger threatened every move she and John made together. Would the same hold true once their barely contained attraction was finally released? |

Send Me by Toni Blake,
Avon, ISBN: 9780061693540The daughter of an over-protective father, Millicent Anderson has never been permitted an ounce of freedom--her father has kept her completely sheltered from boys, and even quashed her dream of being a teacher. But when a family trip leads her to tiny Moose Falls, Montana and she catches sight of bad boy Johnny Pickett, her heart flips--and before Millie knows it, she’s breaking all the rules to be near him. In Johnny’s arms, Millie discovers passion, and Millie is just what Johnny needs to heal after war. When Millie’s father tries to separate them by dangling her old dreams before her, however, she’s forced to make a choice: Will she choose the love of her family and the opportunity to build a career--or will she leave everything behind for the hot guy she’s fallen for? This story is being sold exclusively at the Avon/HarperCollins website. |

Those were the words spoken at his beautiful young bride’s graveside, but Gabriel Getty found they held little comfort for him.

And yet, though adopted by a viscount, she was called the "Brown Scorpion" and knew the cruel sting of isolation. When her anger won out, her mother voiced fears. Was Jasmine truly bad at her core, like her sultan father from whom they'd fled? How could she be, when with Lord Thomas Claradon she'd known a moment of pure beauty? Their kiss had been scorching as a desert sun. But like a sandstorm, it was misdirecting: Thomas's mother's disdain and his loyalty to family and duty put him forever out of reach. Only a return to her birthplace, a quest to find her roots, would bring Jasmine the answer--and it would prove that true love could triumph over ignorance, passion over prejudice. |
