Book
To Catch an Heiress
by Julia Quinn
When Caroline Trent is kidnapped by Blake Ravenscroft, she doesn′t even try to elude this dangerously handsome agent of the crown. After all, she′s been running from unwanted marriage proposals. Yes, Blake believes she′s a notorious spy named Carlotta De Leon, but for six weeks until her twenty-first birthday, when she′ll gain control of her fortune, hiding out in the titillating company of a mysterious captor is awfully convenient -- and maybe just a little romantic, too. Blake Ravenscroft′s mission is to bring "Carlotta" to justice, not to fall in love. His heart has been hardened by years of intrigue, but this little temptress proves oddly disarming and thoroughly kissable. And suddenly the unthinkable becomes possible -- that this mismatched Couple might be destined for love.

Lake in the Clouds
by Sara Donati
Praised by enthusiastic readers as notable as Diana Gabaldon -- who called Into the Wilderness "my favorite kind of book" -- Donati's magnificent novels weave adventure through the fabric of history, and reveal the passion in our pioneer spirit.Donati draws readers back to the dawn of our country, where the rawness of the land and the challenge of survival come to life. She writes, as Kirkus Reviews stated, "exemplary historical fiction, boasting a heroine with a real and tangible presence."It is 1802. "Lake in the Clouds" continues the story of Elizabeth, Nathaniel, and Hannah, Nathaniel's half-Indian daughter. A gifted healer, this beautiful young woman-of-two-worlds finds herself in peril when a dangerously ill runaway slave is discovered near the family home, and Hannah insists on nursing the outlaw. Her determination places both her family and her heart in jeopardy, for the bounty hunter tracking the runaway is Hannah's childhood friend and first love."Lake in the Clouds" brings the uncharted wilderness and teeming cities alive with the precise detail and powerful emotion that only a gifted storyteller achieves.

When Strangers Marry
by Lisa Kleypas
Lysette buried her face against Max's throat. "But he's going to take me away. Don't let him, don't -- " "You're not going anywhere," Max interrupted. "Calm yourself, Lysette. It's not good for you to become excited." His possessiveness made her strangely giddy. As far as he was concerned, she was his, and no one was going to take her away from him. Max stared at Etienne. His voice was soft, but it contained a note that chilled Lysette's blood. "If you so much as disarrange a hair on her head, I'll tear you apart." Lysette couldn't believe it, but she didn't care about her ruined reputation. The only thing that mattered was that she wouldn't have to marry Etienne.

Purity in Death
by J. D. Robb
Lieutenant Eve Dallas must take down a group of terrorists who use a computer virus to kill in this thriller in the #1 New York Times bestselling In Death series. Louie Cogburn had spent three days holed up in his apartment, staring at his computer screen. His pounding headache was unbearable—like spikes drilling into his brain. And it was getting worse. Finally, when someone knocked at his door, Louie picked up a baseball bat, opened the door, and started swinging… The first cop on the scene fired his stunner twice and Louie died instantly. Detective Eve Dallas has taken over the investigation, but there’s nothing to explain the man’s sudden rage or death. The only clue is a bizarre message left on his computer screen: Absolute Purity Achieved. And when a second man dies under nearly identical circumstances, Dallas starts racking her brain for answers and for courage to face the impossible…that this might be a computer virus able to spread from machine to man…
