by Julie MoffettGet to know geek extraordinaire Lexi Carmichael, her friends and her more-than-friends in three fast-paced, high-tech mysteries. Includes bonus prequel novella! NO ONE LIVES TWICE Lexi Carmichael spends her days stopping computer hackers at the NSA and her nights avoiding her mother and a slew of blind dates. Even though she works for a top-secret agency, her life is anything but exciting. Until the day that two gun-toting thugs appear and her best friend vanishes. Enlisting a team of geniuses--plus a sexy government agent and a rich, handsome lawyer who both have the hots for her--Lexi must navigate a maze of leads to find her friend and save the day. NO ONE TO TRUST A series of extraordinary events prompts Lexi to leave government life behind for a fresh start with a brand-new company and an incredibly sexy boss. But when their first client goes missing and his staff think Lexi is involved, she'll have to use her best geek skills--and some help from her friends--to solve the mystery and keep herself safe. NO PLACE LIKE ROME Italy might seem like a long way to go to hide after a disastrous date. But when sexy überhacker Slash (no, that's not his real name) asks Lexi Carmichael to go with him to Rome on an investigation, the timing is sort of perfect. Her messed-up love life becomes the least of her worries, though, thanks to a dead body, a near-kidnapping and the discovery of a top secret encrypted file that not even she can hack. Racing against time, Lexi calls in her genius friends to help uncover a secret--one that someone would kill to keep. NO MONEY DOWN--bonus prequel novella! Lexi + the legendary Zimmerman twins = a friendship made in geek heaven. It all started back when she worked for the NSA...

Julie and Romeo
by Jeanne RayA deliciously funny and wickedly sexy novel of love found (finally!) and love threatened (inevitably) by the families who claim to love us best. Romeo Cacciamani and Julie Roseman are rival florists in Boston, whose families have hated each other for as long as anyone can remember (what they can't remember is why). When these two vital, lonely people see each other across a crowded lobby at a small business owners' seminar, an intense attraction blooms that neither tries to squelch. They're not sure what fate has in store for them, but they're not about to let something as silly as a generations-long feud stand in the way of finding out. That is, not until Romeo's octogenarian mother, Julie's meddling ex-husband, and a cast of grown Cacciamani and Roseman children begin to intervene with a passionate hatred that matches their newly found love, stroke for stroke. Think Montagues and Capulets, think wise and witty and thoroughly modern. Julie and Romeo is a love story for the ages. All ages.From the Hardcover edition.

Julius Julius: A Novel
by Aurora Stewart de PeñaWith biting wit, Aurora Stewart de Peña satirizes the creative industry she&’s spent years in. From the people who brought you the invention of advertising comes Julius Julius, a rambling architectural wonder, outpost of the very first ad man of ancient Pompeii, built on the backs of generations of creative survivors who just want to lie on the floor of a conference room and cry about the lumber account without being sexually harassed.Welcome to the world&’s oldest advertising agency, where ghosts control the board room AC, an ancient executive assistant runs a cave full of thousand year old billboards, and there are bones in the walls.In a trio of voices from different time periods, we move through the mythical Agency, interrogating the process of stoking desire for a living. We meet the Senior Brand Anthropologist, who&’s being surprised by dirty bars of Irish Spring she can&’t remember buying, the Creative Director, whose ascent involved an ad campaign starring his dead best friend, and the Account Supervisor, whose only crime is not being a genius. (But the Fisherman Jack Tuna Campaign was her idea, despite what it says on the awards submissions.) Stewart de Peña&’s debut novel reveals the cracks in the veneer of the creative industries, and the crisis of consciousness underneath in a novel full of compassion, humour, and blonde sausage dogs.
