Prize Registration to the 2010 RomCon Convention.
EARLY DAWN
In Stores Now
New York Times bestselling author Catherine Anderson lights up the Old West
with a tale of revenge, redemption and passion.
After breaking their engagement, Eden Paxton’s fiancé spreads vicious rumors
about her, forcing her to leave San Francisco. Her pride battered, an angry
Eden heads for Colorado to live near her half brothers. But murderous
outlaws cut the trip short when they hold up the train and kidnap her,
intending to sell her across the Mexican border.
Ever since the same outlaws murdered his wife and unborn child, Matthew
Coulter has been on a mission to track them down and exact vengeance. The
last thing he wants is to get sidetracked by a woman and the last thing he
expects is to fall wildly in love after he rescues her.
As Eden and Matthew run for their lives, she recognizes a kind heart beneath
Matthew’s rugged exterior. But she wonders which will win out: his obsession
with revenge—or their growing passion for each other?
Readers will feel the love at this year's Valentine Soiree! Catherine
Anderson is offering two autographed copies of her newest release, EARLY
DAWN. Catherine will also be awarding a fabulous Grand Prize: a free
registration to the new annual RomCon Convention in Denver, Colorado. A $250

FIRED UP
In Stores Now
More than three centuries ago, Nicholas Winters irrevocably altered his
genetic makeup in an obsessionfueled competition with alchemist and Arcane
Society founder Sylvester Jones. Driven to control their psychic abilities,
each man's decision has reverberated throughout the family line, rewarding
some with powers beyond their wildest dreams, and cursing others to a life
filled with madness and hallucinations.
Jack Winters, descendant of Nicholas, has been experiencing nightmares and
blackouts-just the beginning, he believes-of the manifestation of the
Winters family curse. The legend says that he must find the Burning Lamp or
risk turning into a monster. But he can't do it alone; he needs the help of
a woman with the gift to read the lamp's dreamlight.
Jack is convinced that private investigator Chloe Harper is that woman. Her
talents for finding objects and accessing dream energy are what will save
him, but their sudden and powerful sexual pull threatens to overwhelm them
both. Danger surrounds them, and it doesn't take long for Chloe to pick up
the trail of the missing lamp. And as they draw closer to the lamp, the raw
power that dwells within it threatens to sweep them into a hurricane of
psychic force.

How did this happen?
Georgie York, once the costar of America's favorite television sitcom, has

dreamboat-from-hell Bramwell Shepard . . . and not get caught up in an ugly
incident that leads to a calamitous elopement. Before she knows it, Georgie
has a fake marriage, a fake husband, and maybe (or not) a fake sex life.

strongest emotions can wear startling disguises.

Terri DuLong
Terri DuLong
Terri is giving away a copy of SPINNING FORWARD.
In a debut novel brimming with warmth and wit, Terri DuLong spins a tale of
new beginnings, old friends and lives forever changed. A New Englander born
and bred, the last place Sydney Webster expects to find herself starting
over is on an island off the coast of Florida. Yet here she is in Cedar Key,
trying to pull herself together after her husband's untimely death—and the
even more untimely revelation of his gambling addiction. Bereft of her
comfortable suburban life, Syd takes shelter at a college pal's bed and
breakfast, where a plan begins to form . . .
Syd never considered the possibility of turning her passion for spinning and
knitting into something more than a hobby, but when the unique composition
of her wool draws attention, a door is opened—the first among many. Will Syd
dare step through it ... into a new life of her own making?
A southern Debbie Macomber, but with a flair all her own. — Author Karin

Louisa Edwards
Louisa Edwards
Louisa is giving away a copy of ON THE STEAMY SIDE.
In Fall 2009, Louisa Edwards' debut novel—Can't Stand the Heat—rekindled
America's love affair with the culinary romance. Now the author who put the
heat back in the kitchen returns with Book 2 in her Recipe for Love series:
ON THE STEAMY SIDE. Once again, Edwards takes readers behind the scenes of
NYC's testosterone-driven celebrity restaurant scene, but this time readers
will experience what happens once the lights go out on a network food star .
. . and why Southern comfort food, like love, is both irresistible and best
served with a little spice.
ON THE STEAMY SIDE is an instant re-read, a fresh, emotions-first take on
the food-infused romance and, quite simply, a stellar example of the health
and vibrancy of the American contemporary romance. I’m betting it ends up on
any number of Best of 2010 lists. —Michelle Buonfiglio, B&N Heart 2 Heart

But there’s an unfinished chapter in her life:
bad-boy-turned-successful-businessman Rick Gordon. Suzanne’s been burned
before and can’t let the roving playboy play fast and loose with her heart
again...even if he is the sexiest thing on two legs. And once passion
reignites in Rick’s arms, she has no idea where this story’s going...
Rick could write the book on how not to get hooked. But he’s never forgotten
Suzanne, and now’s his chance to pick up where they left off. That’s why
he’s plotting a course of seduction she’ll never be able to resist. But will
their rekindled passion lead to love...and the happy ending they both crave?

of the scandalous Sharpes—five hell-raising siblings tainted by the gossip
surrounding the deaths of their parents two decades ago, Oliver Sharpe, the
Marquess of Stoneville, like his brothers and sisters, has lived life on his
own terms. In his case, as an unrepentant rakehell. That is until
Grandmother Hetty got a bee in her bonnet. Now the Sharpe siblings face an
ultimatum: Marry by year's end—or kiss their inheritance good-bye! Oliver
vows to fulfill the bargain in true Sharpe style—by bringing home a fake
fiance from a brothel. His rebellious charade may yet call Hetty's bluff,
but not before it stirs up a love that tempts Oliver to be a hellion no
more.
Jeffries has launched another sparkling series ... Lively repartee, fast
action, luscious sensuality and an abundance of humor. — Library Journal

the town he's sworn to protect and the woman he's come to desire. But
nothing is what it seems. Long buried secrets start surfacing, and a killer
won't be satisfied until the sins of the past are paid in full—this time
with Edie's blood.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope yours is as fun and romantic—and as
full of good books--as you want it to be.

Helen Scott is giving away a signed copy of THE PHOENIX CHARM.
HE’S PURE TEMPTATION. Cordelia has sworn she’ll abstain from looking into
Michael’s future—particularly when the image in her divination mirror shows
him half naked. Yet she can’t resist watching the sexy rascal slowly running
his hand down his ribs, over his abdomen, flicking open the button on his
jeans with a little flourish like a magician performing a trick.
SHE’S TRYING TO RESIST.
Respectable wise woman Cordelia restrains her secret water nymph sensuality
with the Celtic symbols painted on her skin. But Michael’s powerful fairy
glamour leaves her breathless, off balance, struggling for control. When
Gwyn ap Nudd, the Welsh King of the Underworld, steals away Michael’s infant
nephew, Cordelia must work with him to save the child. But how can she trust
her instincts with Michael tempting her to explore the hidden elemental
depths of her nature and insisting that she believe in the power of…The
Phoenix Charm.

Sylvia is giving away a signed copy of IN THE FLESH.
Lady Pelham could not have designed a husband more suited to her needs. The
Marquess of Grayson is a dear and enchanting friend and an unrepentant
ladies' man. Their union is solid; their hearts safe from one another. But
every marriage has its surprises...
THEY WERE TOGETHER FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS...
They are London's most scandalous couple. Isabel, Lady Pelham, and Gerard
Faulkner, Marquess of Grayson, are well matched in all things—their lusty
appetites, constant paramours, wicked wits, provocative reputations, and
their absolute refusal ever to ruin their marriage of convenience by falling
in love with one another. Isabel knows such a charming rake will never
appeal to her guarded heart, nor will she sway his philandering one. It is a
most agreeable sham...until a shocking turn of events sends Gerard from her
side.
Now, four years later, Gerard has come home to Isabel. But the carefree,
boyish rogue who left has been replaced by a brooding, powerful,
irresistible man who is determined to seduce his way into her affections.
Gone is the devil-may-care companion who shared her friendship and nothing
more, and in his place is temptation itself...a husband who desires Isabel
body and soul and who will stop at nothing to win her love. No, this is not
at all the man she had married. But he is the man who might finally steal
her heart...

Ex-detective Macmillan always had a taste for bad girls, but his last lover
really took the cake—and his humanity. Now half-demon, Mac's lost his
friends, his family and his job.
But Constance, a strangely innocent vampire trapped in the supernatural
Castle prison, needs his help. Her son has been kidnapped, so suddenly Mac
has a case to work—one that embroils him with a mad sorcerer, an even madder
city council, and a winged love god. The trail leads deep into the
supernatural prison, and Mac soon learns that cracking the case will cost
him his last scrap of his humanity.
Fiery, vulnerable Constance will do anything for those she loves, including
Mac. He'll be damned if he turns his back on her… and a demon forever if he
doesn't.

Paula is giving away 2 autographed books.
When someone tries to kidnap his daughter, Jefferson County DA Sam Cooper
sees red. He wants little Maddy protected, at any cost. Even if that cost
includes working with a distractingly attractive detective, Kristen Tandy.
He knows Kristen wants to solve the case…so why does she try so hard to stay
distant from him and his little girl? Remaining professional is something he
fully understands, but the emotional—and physical—scars Kristen tries to
hide make Sam deeply interested in turning things personal. And the more
protection Kristen offers his daughter, the more her closely guarded
vulnerability draws him in. Before long, as the truth of her past is slowly
revealed, Sam realizes just how desperate someone is for her to remain
silent.…
CHICKASAW COUNTY CAPTIVE is the second of four Cooper Justice books coming
from Harlequin Intrigue in 2010.

When you’re a half incubus, your reputation precedes you...
All eyes are on Gabriel Mac Braire the day he makes his first appearance in
the Seelie Court, including those of Aislinn Finvarra. Despite deep
bitterness over her last failed relationship, Aislinn cannot help but be
curious about the half incubus who is known to possess dark magick, both
lethal and sexual in nature. Rumors abound of the women who have become
enslaved to his irresistible charms.
So when the Summer Queen of the fae orders Aislinn herself to act as his
guide in the court, she is understandably on guard. She’s fallen under the
spell of far less persuasive men before. In addition, Gabriel might be more
than he seems and his true mission is far from innocent.
This time, Aislinn must protect not only her heart, but her very life...

SINS lunchbag and a beautiful tote courtesy of Lisa Scottoline
Caterina Shaw’s days are numbered. Her only chance for survival is a highly
experimental gene treatment – a risk she willingly takes. But now Caterina
barely recognizes herself. She has new, terrifying powers, an exotic,
arresting body — and she’s been accused of a savage murder, sending her on
the run.
Mick Carrera is a mercenary and an expert at capturing elusive, clever prey.
Yet the woman he’s hunting down is far from the vicious killer he’s been
told to expect: Caterina is wounded, vulnerable, and a startling mystery of
medical science. Even more, she’s a beautiful woman whose innocent
sensuality tempts Mick to show her exactly how thrilling pleasure can be.
The heat that builds between them is irresistible, but surrendering to it
could kill them both . . . for a dangerous group is plotting its next move
using Caterina as its deadly pawn.
“Readers will root for these two characters as they battle the bad guys to
find a future together.” —BookPage
Angela Knight: “In Sins of the Flesh, Caridad Pineiro has written a sexy
adventure with a luscious hero and an amazing heroine. Mike is a delicious
Alpha Male, and Caterina has guts, intelligence and courage. The plot is
fascinating, and the romance is delightful. I couldn’t put it down!”
