Mysterious
This Magic Moment —For Ryan Swan, who'd learned never to give her trust, master illusionist Pierce Atkins was the last man to whom she should give her heart. Especially since he was planning a death-defying stunt he might not escape from. But in Pierce's enthralling presence, all Ryan's defenses seemed to vanish…like magic. Search for Love —Arriving at her long-lost relatives' Brittany estate, Serenity Smith was greeted with cold politeness by the Comtesse de Kergallen and her darkly handsome grandson, Christophe. Refusing to believe their scandalous stories about her late parents, Serenity set out to prove they were false…but getting the enigmatic Christophe to change his mind about her would prove an equally worthy challenge. The Right Path —After a frightening encounter with a knife-wielding stranger, Morgan James was bewildered when her "attacker" turned out to be the very wealthy Nicholas Gregoras. But could Morgan's suspicions about the mysterious Greek tycoon withstand the all-consuming desire ignited by his kiss?
Wild
A powerful, blazingly honest memoir: the story of an eleven-hundred-mile solo hike that broke down a young woman reeling from catastrophe—and built her back up again. At twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she'd lost everything when her mother died young of cancer. Her family scattered in their grief, her marriage was soon destroyed, and slowly her life spun out of control. Four years after her mother's death, with nothing more to lose, Strayed made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker--indeed, she'd never gone backpacking before her first night on the trail. Her trek was little more than “an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise.” But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone. Strayed faces down rattlesnakes and black bears, intense heat and record snowfalls, and both the beauty and intense loneliness of the trail. Told with great suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild vividly captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her.

Comanche
He stands, noble and strong, torn between two worlds—the blood of warring races running through his veins. He is called "half-breed" and "savage". But the hatred and scorn of others cannot extinguish the fire that burns behind his dark eyes...not still the wanting in his proud and passionate heart. Easterner Maggie Donovan trembles with pleasure at her first glimpse of Bronson Kane—unaware that this dangerously handsome Texas ranched whom she has traveled across a country to wed sight unseen is, in reality, a half-breed Comanche known as White Wolf. Angry and appalled, Maggie flees, too late, from her vows and her desire. But Kane knows the beautiful Boston hellion is his true destiny—a reluctant prize he can claim only by conquering her fears and fury with the thunderbolt power of the Wolf's love.
