An MPM Celebration

  What's Love Got To Do With It Desperate to get out of the small Midwestern college town she's now living in, Jacqueline Kirby signs up for the first east coast conference Coldwater College will underwrite expenses for...but when she arrives at the Historical Romance Writers' Convention, she realizes it's not just Prisoner of the Zenda anymore. The absurdity of her surroundings appeals to Jake's zany's sense of humor, and she quickly makes friends and enemies alike. But when a reporter who has been threatening to unveil dirt on the biggest agent in the business drops dead, murder and mayhem aren't just threatening the lives of the attendees, they're interrupting Jake's new book. And she won't stand for that...

      A Total Eclipse of the Heart Andrea Torgesen is used to life being a battle. The death of their parents in an accident left her the sole guardian of her little brother Jimmie at nineteen. And now twelve years later, her much adored Jimmie has been in a life-altering near-death car wreck, which has left him almost catatonic with depression. The only thing that catches his interest is the prospect of turning an old house left to them by a distant relative into a bed-and-breakfast. As the house and grounds blossom under their hands and they find a place in the nearby community, it seems like a good decision. When Jimmie develops an overwhelming fascination with the private graveyard on their property and an obsession with the abandoned tower room, their long-term guest Martin starts to get alarmed, though. But Andy refuses to see anything ominous in the history of the old house, or believe it might be reaching long fingers out of the past to her brother...

  Vicky Bliss #2 Every Breath You Take When Vicky Bliss, historian and amateur sleuth, gets a plane ticket to Sweden from her sometimes lover, sometimes nemesis John Smythe, she uses it...if only to get the chance to thwart whatever scheme he's up to. But when it becomes apparent to them both they're not the only players in the game, and the new participants have a dangerous streak, what's at stake isn't just an ancient buried treasure...it's their lives.

  Tainted Love For Megan O'Neill, the black rainbow she arrives at Grayhaven under as a governess seems an auspicious omen. Here there is kindness, comfort and dreams of the handsome Edmund Mandeville. For his sister Jane, it seems more questionable. With the return of her beloved brother, things seem to start going awry in the house and village in ways they never have before. Events escalate as years pass and conflict between the residents becomes a dangerous, toxic brew that might lead down a dark road there's no turning back from...

  Every Little Thing She Does is Magic Elizabeth Jones' long awaited holiday in Denmark starts off with a promising bang--not only does she meet her literary idol, historian and novelist Margaret Rosenberg, but the Nobel prize winner even takes her on as secretary when an unfortunate accident deprives her of the one she has. But things take a puzzling turn when Margaret disappears. Her pompous son Christian insists she might be in danger, and so he and Elizabeth team up to scour the Danish streets and landmarks. When mysterious messages start arriving and bullets start flying, it looks like he might be right. But why would anyone be demanding Margaret's bathrobe???
