Parution Mai 2005 - Follow me
de Mary Beth Bass  (Love Spell)
Time travel

Claire Islington has everything. Her boyfriend is a handsome doctor who adores her. She owns her own successful business. Only a fool would complain or want more. And yet Claire does. For seven years, she’s been haunted by desire. That’s how long it’s been since she allowed herself to chase her dream. Then, it almost killed her. That was the last time she felt his touch. It was the last – and only- time they made love. Her body still aches with remembrance.

Her soul echoes the refrain, “Love is enough,” and yearns for a long-denied fulfillment. But to follow is to follow a ghost: across the sea to another land, to another time, to the nineteenth century English Midlands and a point where lives collide. And to follow is to give up what Claire knows for the hope of what can be.

d'Elle James  (Medallion Press)
Magie

Craig Thibodeaux is cursed. Frog by day and man by night, he has until the next full moon to free himself—by finding someone to love him. Elaine Smith seems perfect. She is beautiful and smart, and even passionate about frogs. But while she came to Bayou Miste at just the right time, the sexy scientist needs a bodyguard—not a boyfriend. And truth be told, he was a bit more frog than Prince Charming even before he tangled with that Voodoo Queen. Elaine deserves more. She deserves to be the queen of someone’s pad: a wife. But with a single kiss, Craig might start to believe in fairy-tale endings.

Parution février 2005 - A LOST TOUCH OF BLISS
d'Amy Tolnitch  (Medallion Press)
Paranormal

Five years ago, Cain Veuxfort, Earl of Hawksdown, followed duty and broke Amice de Monceaux's heart. But now he needs her. Desperately.
For Amice has a very special talent. She is a Spirit Goddess, able to help restless souls move on. And Cain has a very restless ghost he wishes fervently would leave his castle. Anxious to regain order in his chaotic life, Cain offers Amice the one thing  he's sure she can't resist; an Italian villa on the sea in exchange for her unique services.

Although Amice's wound is deep, and as fresh and painful as ever, she agrees to help her former lover. Life on the Italian coast will be the start of a new life for her. Perhaps then she will finally be able to put  the past behind her... as well as an importunate Highland lord who wants nothing less that her hand in marriage.

But there is more going on at Castle Falcon's Craig  than a simple haunting, and more than one tragic tale of unrequited love. Yet to set things right, for both the living and the dead, Cain must find the courage to shed his mask of indifference, Amice must move beyond her pain to forgive... and long dead, star-crossed lovers must lead them all on the path to...

Parution Novembre 2004 - SHIFTING LOVE
de Constance O'Day Flannery  (Tor)
Paranormal

Constance O'Day-Flannery is back, and better than ever with this new tale of magic and love.

Maggie O'Shea knows that because of her dark past, there's no place for love in her life. She owns a successful store in Philadelphia, where she uses her special gifts to help the people she meets. Though this doesn't fulfill her, she is content. Most of the time.

Entrepreneur Julian McDonald runs an empire. He's rich, cynical, bored-and not interested in relationships. He was in love, once, but since her death, there's been no space in his heart for anyone else.

Maggie knows as soon as she meets Julian that she could fall in love with him. But a secret society devoted to bringing the world back into balance has a mysterious agenda for Julian-and doesn't care about the heart's wish of a vulnerable shapeshifter...

Parution Novembre 2004 - THE CAT'S MEOW
d'Emily Carmichael  (Bantam)
Paranormal

Nefertiti, known as Titi to her owner and friends, wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that a novel featuring a talking cat, amnesia and nefarious thugs can be a sophisticated read. Indeed, it seems that anthropomorphic pets really add that extra purr, or so Carmichael (Gone to the Dogs, etc.) proves in yet another charming romantic caper, this time featuring Mckenna Wright and, of course, her cat Titi. An overworked lawyer with a drive to succeed, Mckenna faces one of her biggest challenges when she uncovers a crucial piece of evidence on a high-profile case. Winning the case means making partner at her law firm, but concealing evidence from her nemesis, opposing counsel Tom Markham, means breaking the law. Her deliberations prove irrelevant, however, when a car accident leaves her with temporary amnesia and, more frighteningly, the ability to understand her cat. Through Mckenna's downward spiral from lawyer to burger flipper and pooper-scooper, the regal Titi attempts to teach her to relax and enjoy life. Mckenna soon learns that this means falling for Tom Markham, whom she no longer sees as a lazy excuse for a lawyer but as a kind man who's too sexy for words. Steamy between-the-sheets action, sensitive soul searching and a tail-twitching denouement all add to the feline fun.
