Trail of Lies by Margaret Daley As the mother of a beautiful daughter and the wife of a wealthy entrepreneur, Melora Hudson seemed happy. No one knew about the secrets hidden behind closed doors—secrets Melora was forced to keep. Now, two years after her husband's disappearance, the truth may be exposed. His body has been found, and everyone has questions. Texas Ranger Daniel Boone Riley comes to find answers, and stays to protect the woman and child who win his heart. But the terror of Melora's past isn't over. Her late husband's old "associates" want her to carry his secrets to her grave. Excerpt of chapter one: Melora Hudson punched in her alarm code to turn the security system off, then tossed her keys on the kitchen counter. All she wanted to do was sink into a chair and drink a cup of hot tea after her exhausting week. But as she moved toward the kettle on the stove, a sound—something hitting the tiled floor—came from the living room and froz

Apologies to all you Kindle fans, but I love my Nook. I's mostly because I can read .epub and .pdb and .pdf files on it, whereas on Kindle you can only read .azw and .pdf files. Most of my ebooks are .pdb and .epub, and I didn't want to have to buy .azw versions of them all to read on a Kindle. So when I heard about this special for Mother's Day, you knew I'd have to post about it, right??? The NookColor is kind of like a less expensive iPad because it has the touch screen.

Mission: Out of Control by Susan May Warren Brody "Wick" Wickham is a former Green Beret turned security agent—with a 100 percent mission success rate. No way is his new assignment changing that. Even if it's protecting a diva American rock star while she's on tour in Europe. Except Veronica "Vonya" Wagner isn't just a beautiful celebrity used to having her way—she's the daughter of a U.S. Senator. And she's hiding a dangerous secret. When Wick discovers what's at stake, how far over the line will he go to keep them both alive? Excerpt of chapter one: Was it too much to ask for a little peace and quiet on his so-called R & R? Apparently Brody Wickham—ex-Green Beret, current on-leave security operator for Stryker International—had turned into a magnet for trouble, and he knew inside his gut that someone was going to get hurt. Preferably not him. Brody could spot the ugly future the second that Vonya—the one-name, b

Captain's Log, Stardate 04.28.2011 Some of you will recognize the photo from my Facebook page yesterday. Yes, I made scones. Many of you know how much I loooooooove English High Tea (which, as my British friends tell me, most Brits don’t really do very often at all). I adore tea and scones. And Devonshire cream and jam. My favorite High Tea restaurant is Lisa’s Tea Treasures, one at the Pruneyard and one at Santana Row . They both have the most AWESOME scones on the planet. I have tried making scones lots of times and just could never seem to get them to taste like the Lisa’s Tea Treasures scones. Then I was reading Sandie Bricker’s novel, Always the Wedding Planner, Never the Bride for endorsement, and she has this amazing blueberry scones recipe that uses butter and cream. So naturally I had to make them. I did not have blueberries, although I anticipate getting strawberries in my co-op delivery on Friday, so I will make the scones again with strawberries on Friday. :

Double Identity by Diane Burke Sophie Clarkston is shocked to learn that she isn't who she thinks. Her birth certificate is forged. Her name—made up.

But her work turns dangerous when Texas Ranger Cade Jarvis brings her a special project related to the notorious Lions of Texas.

As she contends with attack after attack with only Cade's protection, the two of them draw closer together, learn to open their hearts…and struggle to identify the face of danger before it's too late. Excerpt of chapter one: Texas Ranger Cade Jarvis gripped the wheel of his pickup truck, his neck and shoulder muscles knotting.
