She is a mercenary trained in the ways of war and the blade – nothing more. A woman known only as Red Gloves has come to the land of Palins in search of work. What she finds, however, is the torched fields and razed farms of a land defiled.
If you see her without the gloves, run….This is all Josiah knows about the mysterious woman – until he catches a glimpse of the dagger-star birthmark, a sign that she is destined to free his people from a ruthless usurper’s reign of terror.
But she is more dangerous when following her heart…Red doesn’t believe in gods. Nevertheless, she finds herself drawn into the rebellion – not by the prophecy or the chance to win the throne, but by the pain of untold loss in Josiah’s eyes….
A small town called Fairview is Lily Wakefield’s last stop—there’s nowhere left to go. Maybe here she can finally stop running and start a new life. Which just might include Simon McCarthy, the newspaperman and single father who’s starting to make her believe in love again.
Just as she and Simon start becoming a real family that includes her baby twins and his daughter, Lily’s past catches up with her. And that past could rob her of her chance at happiness.
AN UNSTOPPABLE BODYGUARD ON THE HUNT.
A WOMAN HIDING A SECRET EVEN SHE DOESN’T KNOW. A PASSION THAT BEGINS WITH DANGER….
Bullet Catcher Adrien Fletcher is on a mission to track down a baby given up in a black market adoption thirty years ago. He has a list of possible names and one tantalizing clue: the infant girl had been marked with a tiny tattoo. And since tattoo-hunting will mean getting up close and personal with the women on his list, he’s the perfect man for the job. But when Fletch meets Miranda Lang, he knows she can never be just a name on his list. If she’s not his target, he should move on and find the right woman, despite their electrifying attraction. But Miranda is on her own mission, and every step takes her closer to a deadly trap. Fletch may be the only man who can protect her…forcing him to choose between duty and desire.
Garret Tulane is Darcy Rhodes’s personal knight in shining armor. Not only did he rescue her from being stranded in the middle of a snowstorm, but he’s also given her a place to stay. His close family ties and his caring support create the secure home life she wants to give her unborn child.
That security is an illusion, however. Despite the growing closeness between Darcy and Garret, she knows he has obligations and commitments that don’t include her—or another man’s baby. But feeling as she does, when the time comes, will she be able to walk away?
Red werewolf Bella flees her adoptive pack of gray werewolves when the alpha male Volan tries forcibly to claim her as his mate. Her real love, beta male Devlyn, has been out of her life for years, but comes after her when she finds herself accidentally captured by humans. Bella becomes convinced that Devlyn only wants to return her to Volan, but soon realizes that Devlyn loves her as much as she loves him, and is willing to fight Volan to the death to claim her. That problem pales, however, as a pack of red werewolves takes to killing human females in a crazed quest to claim Bella for their own. Bella and Devlyn must defeat the rogue wolves before Devlyn’s final confrontation with Volan. The strength of the book lies in Spear’s depiction of pack power dynamics, as well as in the details of human−wolf interaction. Her wolf world feels at once palpable and even plausible.
Burdened by Grief, She Hunts a Killer
They never found her sister’s body, but Detective Rebecca Montgomery knows her murderer is still out there. In the five months since Danielle went missing, there have been two more brutal abductions. A savage menace stalks the women of San Antonio, and the relentless detective will do anything to find him.
And a Seductive Stranger Shadows Her Every Move
But her latest case—the discovery of a young woman’s remains inside the wall of a burned-down theater—plunges Rebecca from her grief into a brand-new nightmare. She soon meets handsome, mysterious Diego Galvan at the crime scene, and his shadowy connections will lead to her first break in both cases. But when Rebecca submits to his considerable powers of seduction, she will leave herself vulnerable to a merciless killer . . . and when he attacks, no one will hear her scream.
That first cover is HOT!!
I’ve read No One Heard Her Scream and it’s awesome! 🙂
I also have the Shay and the Dane in my pile. I wonder which one of us will get them read first! LOL!!!
Some of these covers are very striking, and really pull your eye in. The authors were lucky…now if they really are about the book they’re luckier still!

I love the cover for Dagger-Star and can’t wait to read it, will have to get out to the store. Want to read Heart of the Wolf, too.
Your foray to the bookstore was a huge success – you will enjoy reading each of these books, I think.
Let us know your opinion when you’re done.
Have been very sick with the flu, so have read 14 books in the last 7 days.
At least I made a small dent in my TBR pile – of course, it is no longer a pile – it’s now a mountain.
I’ve read Another Man’s Baby. It is another excellent book by Kay Stockham. You can’t go wrong with her books.
I’m going to have to see if Wal-Mart still has Kathryn Shay’s book. It looks like a good one to me.
I’ve been lusting over the Elizabeth Vaughn one since I knew it was coming out. Same for the Bullet Catcher. Oh man *chuckle* you are bad for my budget!
OOh, Ooh, gotta get the Jordan Dane, and the Terry Spear. I’ve read the Roxanne St. Claire…it was excellent…but I read that baby in one sitting, it’s non stop. You DO NOT want to put it down. I picked up a new one the other day I was going to tell you about….Pursuit by Elizabeth Jennings. The book sounded awesome, and her name rang a bell for some reason…Oh, and read the new Sharon Sala over the last 2 days. It was great. I never tire of her.
Heart of the Wolf looks like it would be right up my alley.
Wow! All I have to say is that you are one ecclectic reader lady. I have one of these titles myself.
Wow!! What a great new stack, Fatin!
Wow- so many books to keep up with! Some of these covers are *hot*!
We have a very similar reading list!
Dagger Star looks great. I will have to check that one out. I already have Roxanne St. Claire on my list but I saw some other books you got that I will definitely have to check out. 🙂
