Rough Country

Virgil Flowers, Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Investigation, just wants to fish. It's his vacation. Instead he gets called to go solve a murder at the Eagle's Nest, a women's only hotel in the woods. All the women want is a nice place to vacation, the woods, a spa, boy toy waiters and each other. There's sex and a country band. The band has a great lead singer. Did one of these cause the murder? There's jealousy and a love triangle. There's an old murder and a second new murder. Virgil will have to work hard to solve this one. Virgil Flowers is a fun new character on the mystery scene. Minnesota has both cities and country, so there are lots of places for murders.

Hardball

Why is a 40 year old murder causing so much trouble today? How does her uncle and father (both cops) fit into it? Where is Lamont Gadsden, and can he be found before his aunt dies? Is the political campaign that her cousin Petra is working on, involved? Does it have anything to do with the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? V.I. Warshawski has too many questions and not enough answers. She gets even more questions when she and a nun she's interviewing are fire bombed! Where does that fit? To find out the answers, follow V.I.Warshawski, female detective, through Chicago's past and present. Another great addition to this series.

The Courtship Dance

In the final installment of the Matchmakers series, our own matchmaker Lady Francesca realizes the true mistakes she has made in her life, especially in regards to the handsome Duke of Rochford. Packed with all the tension of the earlier stories, this book brings to a close a wonderful love story that was fifteen years in the making. Everyone loves Lady Francesca. After her first husband’s not-so-tragic death, she has helped pair worthy members of the ton together into wedded bliss. The Duke of Rochford is everything a duke should be, and everything a man should be. These are two stubborn, but extremely loveable characters who share a bond that cannot be broken by time, place, or evil-doers.

The Devilish Pleasures of a Duke

The epitome of everything proper in 1815 London, Emma Bocastle is nothing like her wild siblings. Emma did everything expected of a debutante. She married young to a lord and now as a widow, she instructs young women on proper behavior. All it takes is one meeting with Adrian Ruxley, Lord Wolverton to send her life into an uproar. The protective Adrian is sure Emma is the one person he needs in his life and will do anything necessary to make her his lady. Adrian has to capture Emma all on his own with his friends, the Bocastle brothers, in the way. Jillian Hunter proves her talent again by delivering a passionate, quick paced romance that will thrill readers.

Temptation and Surrender

Stephanie Lauren’s newest addition to the Cynster novels is well worth the wait. Miss Emily Beauregard flees to Colyton with her siblings in search of a buried family treasure. Needing money and a place to stay, Emily applies as the innkeeper for the Red Bells. The owner Jonas Tallent is just the type of guy Emily avoids. Charming, handsome and smart, he knows she is hiding something. Passionate kisses and intimate embraces are unavoidable with these two. If you are a Cynster Series fan, you will love it; if you are new to Stephanie Laurens, you will fall in love with her style and characters!
