Deirdre's True Desire (Emerald Belles #3)
by Heather MccorkleSeeking the pot of gold at California’s end She married rich, but not well. Now, with the Civil War ended and her husband gone, Deirdre must make her own way in the world. The golden, untamed valleys of Sonoma County beckon, a land ripe with promise. But her dreams of building a home and starting a winery are thwarted by locals who don’t want to sell to a spirited, independent woman—much less an Irish one. Two very different gentlemen aid in Deirdre’s quest. Kin O’Leary is tall, dark, and oh-so-charming. Owner of Sonoma’s most successful inn, Kin is one of the wealthiest men in the county, and Deirdre believes this makes him an ill-advised suitor. Complicating her circumstance is Dylan O’Reilly, the strapping young cattle hand who stirs her passion to life but hides some dangerous secrets. With Deirdre’s dreams hanging in the balance, the forthright young widow faces a difficult choice. Will she have the luck of the Irish when it comes to love? “The love for Irish-American history is especially present . . . This is perfect for readers who love tackling difficult issues, Irish-American history and non-Regency settings.” —RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars, on Courting the Corporal

Deite-me
by Tamara Hart HeinerKylee se encostou na porta do quarto, seu coração batendo de forma irregular. Mesmo aqui ela podia ouvir Bill xingando e gritando na sala de estar. Ela fechou os olhos. Porque isso ainda estava acontecendo? Ele deveria ter esquecido dela agora. “Por favor, fique no outro quarto. Por favor, fique no outro quarto”, ela cantou para si mesma. Ela olhou para seu braço latejante, observando o pequeno riacho de sangue se acumulando no canto do cotovelo. Os gritos de sua mãe se misturavam com os de Bill, e algo grande colidiu contra a parede. A casa sacudia quando os trovejantes passos de Bill se aproximaram. “Kylee!” ele rugiu, a extensão total de sua fúria ecoando em uma única palavra. Ela choramingou. Seus olhos pousaram na poltrona contra a mesa de madeira ao lado do armário. Ela pulou em sua direção com a intenção de empurra-lo contra a maçaneta da porta assim como fez tantas outras vezes no passado. Ela mal tinha desocupado seu lugar perto da porta antes que ela se abrisse, batendo na parede oposta com força. Kylee virou-se e gritou. “Me desculpe,” ela gaguejou, com suas mãos esticadas a sua frente por proteção. “Eu deveria ter ficado fora disso. Eu—”

Deja Who
by Maryjanice DavidsonFrom the author of the New York Times bestselling Undead novels comes a delightfully addictive new series about past lives and bad habits--and one woman paranormally predisposed to getting at the bottom of both. It's her job. You couldn't arrest for murder someone who had killed in his last life. You couldn't bring a civil suit against such people, either. They could only be legally penalized for what they did this time around--and what a dark circus the legal system had been before that legislation passed! (It was still a dark circus, but perhaps not as dark.) But you could spot them, and watch them. You could set traps for them. Leah Nazir is an Insighter. Reincarnation is her business. But while her clients' pasts are a mess, Leah's is nothing short of tragedy. She's been murdered. A lot. If left to that bitch, destiny, it'll happen again. Leah wants to know who's been following her through time, and who's been stalking her in the present... P.I. Archer Drake has been hired by Leah's mother to keep an eye on her. But the more time he spends watching, the more he finds himself infatuated. Before long, he even finds himself agreeing to help find the person who wants her dead. Over and over again. Now going full-on "rewind," Leah hopes it can stave off the inevitable. After all, she's grown fond of this life--and even fonder of nerdy Archer. But changing her pattern means finding out who her killer is today. And as Leah fears, that could be anyone she has come to know and trust. Anyone.From the Trade Paperback edition.
