An ordinary snapshot causes a suburban mother’s world to unravel in an instant. When Grace Lawson picks up a newly developed set of family photographs, there is a picture that doesn’t belong — a photo from at least twenty years ago. In the photo are five people, four Grace can’t recognize and one that looks strikingly like her husband, Jack. When Jack sees the photo, he denies he’s the man in it. But later that night, while Grace lies in bed waiting, he drives away in the family’s minivan without an explanation, taking the photograph with him. Not knowing where he went or why he left, Grace struggles alone to shield her children from Jack’s absence in the days that follow. Each passing day brings only doubts about herself and her marriage and yet more unanswered questions about Jack, along with the realization that there are others looking for Jack and the photograph — including one fierce, silent killer who will not be stopped from finding his quarry, no matter who or what stands in his way. When the police won’t help her, and neighbors and friends alike seem to have agendas of their own, she must confront the dark corners of her own tragic past to keep her children safe and learn the truth that might bring her husband home.

February 14th The doctor is IN...love! The arrow - as if guided by radar, or maybe Cupid - pierced Peter Holiday's posterior. Only archer Mary Ellen Magnussen saw stars when she looked into the sexy doctor's milk-chocolate eyes. But with the feather-tipped shaft protruding from his rump, she doubted he would ask her to be his Valentine. Pain may have made the always-in-control Peter delusional because he was besotted... with the one woman who was off-limits. As a scientist, he'd committed himself to eliminating romantic love, but as a man, he'd gladly be ravaged by it for one kiss from Mary Ellen's sweet, rosebud lips.

Two moguls think that money makes the world go around—but in this classic romance from beloved author Linda Cajio, they’re about to be reminded that love conquers all.

And when the temptress reappears in two other cities and again presses her lips to his, Morgan is completely undermined. Cecilia St. Martin couldn’t be happier with the results of her prank. Distracting her rival while she buys enough stock to threaten Abbott Industries with a takeover is delicious payback for a loyal friend. But revenge is a dish best served cold—and kissing Morgan has aroused a fire deep within her. When Cecilia’s virile prey discovers her ploy, she’ll have to make a choice: conquer her darling enemy or merge her soul with his.

Cass Lindley believed in never mixing business with pleasure, but when Dallas Carter came to enlist her support in ousting a crooked corporate head, she felt her resistance melt under the white-hot gleam in his eyes. Was the lingerie empire in which she was a major stockholder being mishandled, or were Dallas's smooth assurances only a predator's ploy to romance her stock away? When he dared to discover the truth, she agreed -- but only if he spent a week working beside her and proved he could be trusted. Tempted by the lady, Dallas accepted the sweet deal...but ended up courting his old-fashioned girl, instead of her votes! Dallas made her laugh, filled her with yearning, and taught her passion she'd never believed would be hers. In return, Cass wrapped her pirate's heart in silken bonds, then surrendered her own to his keeping. Dallas admired her spirit and vowed he'd accept her decision, whatever it was -- but would love make the choice impossible?
