Alexander Hall, Viscount Northwood, has purchased a one-of-a-kind locket from a pawnshop, unaware of the priceless sentiment it holds for Lydia. The gentlemanly thing to do would be to simply return it. But Alexander is curious to see just how bold this brilliant beauty will be...
A LOVE UNEQUALED

From the author of Semi-Sweet comes a delightful new novel about the art of friendship, love, and (still) life.
When Audrey Matthews offers an evening class in life drawing, all she's looking for is a little extra pocket money and something to fill her Tuesday nights. So she hires a model and recruits five students - each of whom have their own reason for being there. For Zarek, a Polish immigrant, the class is a welcome distraction and a place to escape his dull cafe job and noisy roommate. Then there's the handsome, mysterious James who has moved to the small town of Carrickbawn looking for a new start for himself and his daughter. He's vowed to keep to himself, but then his interest in Jackie, the class model and single mom, takes a more personal turn. While Audrey has just fallen in love -- with the adorable puppy in the window of the local pet shop. Will she be put off by the store's brusque owner or does she find out that his bark is worse than his bite? As the weeks pass, it becomes clear to the members of the drawing class that their fellow students aren't exactly who they seem...

Mass Market and E-Book

Unwrap with care
Always putting business before pleasure, Cassie McPherson works hard for her family's construction business. That might explain why she doesn't have a date for the company Christmas party. But it doesn't quite explain why she's crazy enough to hire an escort for the event or - crazier still - why she's dying to unwrap him like a present . . .
With whiskey-colored eyes and a killer smile, James is one gorgeous hunk
who really knows how to fill out a tuxedo. He charms everyone, including Cassie. And when the night ends, the party doesn't stop. As Cassie falls, literally, into his bed, James falls head over heels in love. Now he has to figure out a way to tell her the truth: he's not an escort. He's her family's fiercest business rival. But all he wants for Christmas is her . . .
Last Chance Christmas

Dear Reader,
I've been wishing for a miracle for my oldest boy, Stone, and this Christmas my prayers might just be answered!
Her name is Lark, and she's here in Last Chance, looking into her father's past-and stirring up a whole mess of trouble without meaning to. As the chief of police, Stone sure has his hands full trying to keep up with her. Ever since his wife died, Stone's put everything into raising his daughters and dodging the Christ Church Ladies' Auxiliary matchmakers. And it's clear Lark has been through some trouble and could use a place to finally call home. I only hope Stone can let go of the past soon enough to keep her . . .
Goodness, I need to stop talking and finish up Jane's highlights so we can make the town tree-lighting. You come back by because the Cut 'n' Curl's got hot rollers, free coffee, fresh-baked Christmas cookies-and the best gossip in town.
See you real soon,
Ruby Rhodes
The horrible winter weather wasn't going to stop Hannah and her sister, Michelle, from previewing the first Jazz Festival in their hometown of Lake Eden, Minnesota. But, no sooner do they turn off the main ice-covered road do they locate a multi-vehicle accident. They are first to respond to the scene and the first to learn the bus driver was dead, but did he die of a heart attack? Could any of the members of the Cinnamon Roll Six have caused this to be his last job?
At the hospital, the mystery continues, this time with the death of one of the band members. Interesting, though, it wasn't from the bus accident. Someone helped him into his grave. Add two murders to the mix and you have a new case for amateur sleuth Hannah Swensen. Stir in a cup of an old flame getting married and love not ending and you have real feelings and unresolved issues.
I've read a number of Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen novels and find this to be a winner. The storyline was more involved and included more clues. Her family and friend's involvement, trying to help her solve the case, created a cooperative support system. As always, the recipes Joanne features in the book are given at the end of the chapter. A good case, fun, friendly, normal characters and all kinds of great things to eat make worth reading.
