Imprisoned by a fanatical, corrupt maharajah in the torrid climes of 1910 India, Sarabande Swinford battles the maharajah's lust and another man's passions, all while desperately trying to regain her memory. She has forgotten her perilous adventures in both love and fortunes, but her intrepid spirit remains as she encounters jealousy in the harem, man- and woman-eating crocodiles, and venomous snakes, all in her attempts at escape. Her defender in every potentially fatal situation is, surprisingly, the rajah, brother to the maharajah. Rami is all the maharajah is not: handsome and muscular, graceful, intelligent, and compassionate, a fitting challenge to Sary's spirited nature, a man well educated and well travelled in the world. But the real question is whether he can overcome his brother's hold on power and survive while rescuing Sary.

Ghostly gunslinger Zachariah is condemned to spend eternity in the room now inhabited by Blossom Cherry, an easygoing yet hot-blooded doxie.

The attraction between the young prostitute and the outlaw intensifies to undeniable, unquenchable, unearthly desire until Zak becomes a passionate spectral lover. But Blossom's uneasy past catches up with her by way of a Wanted poster and a bulldog Pinkerton agent. Zach urges her to dig up his ill-gotten hoard and flee an unjust hanging, yet she won't leave him to wander the room—or eternity—alone.

Young heirs to an automotive fortune joyride a priceless prototype while D.U.I., ending in a spectacular fireball. Meggie now has a limp and scars she obsesses over as worse than they are. When she inherits the last asset, a decrepit Victorian lake house and dumping ground for a serial killer, she impulsively speeds to the isolated spot without telling anyone, neither a diner-owner, a female deputy, or good old boy forest ranger, all warning her of the ‘blizzard of the century’ and young women gone missing in the inhospitable area of dense federal forests and bottomless lakes… When kissing-cousin Zak and brother Lance show up, following the money, three desperate people play cat and killer games in Michigan’s harsh, unforgiving Upper Peninsula, battling lust, starvation, and the serial murderer among them in the isolated snowbound lake house, until only two are left standing...for now.

The Duke of Sandringham arrives in the raw frontier town of Wylder to explore nearby copper mines, but soon contracts typhoid. The only person who can safely nurse him back to health is the kitchen drudge, Catriona, who survived the typhoid fever that took her parents.

Lovely raven-haired Cat falls afoul of the jealous ladies in the duke’s party. Falsely accused of stealing, Catriona is banished and becomes the prize to be won at the local brothel auction… But Hugo knows nothing of the auction. What rescue can be hoped?

Feathers fly and cultures clash as the Jolly Grant House prepares to welcome a special delivery from Scotland In the third installment of the Jana Bibi series, Betsy Woodman takes us back to the Jolly Grant house for the arrival of Jana's son, Jack, from Scotland, and his Hungarian bride-to-be, Katarina Esterhazy. The whole gang is excited to welcome their international visitors—and Jana is determined to repair the house to Jack's high standards and those of her grandfather, from whom she inherited the eccentric building. But this puts a strain on Jana, both emotionally and financially, and she risks her most prized and valuable possession—the (surprisingly real!) emeralds she got from the Treasure Emporium—to help her through it. Jana saved the town from a government dam in Jana Bibi's Excellent Fortunes and foiled an international bird-smuggling ring in Love Potion Number 10, but in Emeralds Included, Jana faces her biggest challenges yet: preparing for her son's arrival and planning a wedding in the upside-down town of Hamara Nagar!
