Sins Out of School: A Dorothy Martin Mystery

by Jeanne M. Dams

"She thought the lack of cranberry sauce was going to be her biggest problem, but a missing schoolteacher, a murdered man, a troubled child, and a call for help were difficulties Dorothy Martin most definitely hadn't foreseen." "She had wanted to have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for her husband, Alan, and some of her friends, a taste of home for a holiday she missed. Then the call came from the school, asking Dorothy to fill in for a few hours because Amanda Doyle hadn't shown up and there was a flu epidemic and no one was available. Three days later, on Thanksgiving, the second call came: John Doyle was dead - murdered - and Amanda was the suspect. Would Dorothy mind caring for their daughter, Miriam, for the day? Please?" "Dorothy had already sensed that something was not right in the Doyle household: John was clearly abusive, emotionally if not physically, and the church the family belonged to held some very strange ideas about sin and punishment. Now Amanda and Miriam needed her; neither of them could be responsible for the murder, no matter how it looked to the police." With Alan's help and more than a few surprises, Dorothy unravels a nasty knot of family secrets and gives Amanda and Miriam something for which to be truly thankful.

Always A Fiancee

by Sheryl Danson

From the book: "I haven't told you about my seven ex-fiances." "Seven?" Grady's voice rose a full octave. He plopped down onto the sofa beside Hilary with a dazed look on his face. She nodded glumly. "Grady, a practical man like you needs order in his life, not some flake that goes flying off at two-thirty in the morning to bail out a friend from jail." He shook his head as though to clear it. "Why don't you let me be the judge of that?" She groaned wearily. "That's exactly what the fiances said. And I made them all miserable and crazy." Grady's face took on a determined expression that Hilary had never seen before. "None of that matters." "It does matter, Grady!" She had to convince him. "Go find some nice sensible woman with a station wagon and support hose." Grady grasped her arms and gazed into her eyes. "I don't want a sensible woman, dammit! Hilary, I want you!"

Beguiled

by Dawn Carroll

She’d slept with the enemy. All of a sudden the full impact of what Liana had allowed to happen struck her. “I think you’d better leave,” she said in a low voice. Max’s mouth tightened, but then he nodded curtly. “You’re too scared of your own feelings to see reason right now. I’ll call you later.” “Don’t bother. I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to be, uh... seeing each other.” He crossed the room and stopped in front of her. “You can’t mean that. Not after the way you gave yourself to me last night.” Liana steeled herself against the sensual memories. “I wasn’t thinking clearly. I am now.” Max slid his fingers though her hair and pulled her close. His warm mouth closed over hers and he kissed her until she was gasping and trembling. Then he drew back and looked directly into her eyes. “You’re the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time. I’m not giving that up without a fight.” Dawn Carroll enjoyed weaving a world of mysterious accidents and secrets from the past for this intriguing novel. But when the writing of Beguiled became something of an adventure in itself, she couldn’t help but say, “This is not fun.” Dawn, her husband and their two children reside in San Diego where they recently endured an unusually heavy rainy season. Unfortunately, their roof leaked--right over Dawn’s computer! She was forced to work under a canopy while her husband made the repairs. Lucky for us, Beguiled was successfully completed despite the soggy conditions. Enjoy!

Crossing the Line

by Lauren Baratz-Logsted

The only way to come clean with everyone you've lied to- and if you've lied to nearly everyone in your life--is to come clean all at once. So what did I do? I threw a party, a New Year's Day party to launch my new life. And so Jane Taylor comes clean. In fact, the new, wiser and gentler Jane tries to legally adopt the baby she found abandoned in a basket on Christmas Eve, Emma-who happens to be black. Amid rigorous interviews with the well-packaged caseworker from Social Services, and trying to explain to the rest of the world (namely her mother) how Emma came about, Jane decides that giving Emma a strong cultural heritage is first up on her list of mommy duties. She manages to befriend a woman who invites Jane and Emma to her all-black play group. Never one to walk the straight path, Jane navigates motherhood (and racial identity) with aplomb- much to the surprise of her friends and family. Satirical, sassy and sometimes serious, Crossing the Line dares to delve into the unconventional world of familial and found relationships. In The Thin Pink Line, Jane draws a line that changes her life forever; here, she crosses the line--between singlehood and motherhood,between black and white, between what's expected and what's due.
