Mysterious, elusive, unforgettable. The Hurst Amulet continues to lure lovers into peril as New York Times bestselling author Karen Hawkins spins her newest scintillating tale of danger and desire.

AN ENTRANCING THIEF

For beautiful, seductive Moira MacAllister, the stakes have become terrifyingly high. Her daughter has been abducted and a priceless ancient relic is the ransom. Moira must acquire it at any cost, even if it means confronting the man she once duped and left, a man who still doesn’t know she has a child . . . and that he is the father.

A DASHING RAKEHELL

Robert Hurst, an operative in the king’s service, has never forgiven the mysterious spy who seduced him into marriage and then disappeared without a trace. Now, as he pursues the onyx box that will save his brother’s life, their paths cross again. But Robert isn’t sure which he longs for more—to satisfy his lust for revenge or to quench his relentless hunger for this bewitching woman.

A PERILOUS MISSION

When Moira reveals to Robert her long-kept secret, however, he realizes his burning desires must wait as a treacherous foe closes in, threatening all they hold dear . . . and their second chance at love.

Ann Pearlman’s irresistible debut novel provides the perfect ingredients for a fun and touching read about a group of women who gather each year to share a journey of friendship, hope, heartbreak—and recipes.

Every year at Christmastime, Marnie and her closest girlfriends mark their calendars for the cookie exchange. Everyone has to bring a batch of homemade cookies and a bottle of wine, but this year, it’s their stories that are especially important—the passion and hopefulness of new romance, the betrayal and disillusionment some relationships bring, the joys and fears of motherhood, the stress of financial troubles. On this evening, at least, the sisterly love they have for one another rises above it all. Celebrating courage and joy in spite of hard times and honoring the importance of women’s friendships as well as the embracing bonds of community, Ann Pearlman’s delightful novel speaks to us all.

New York Times bestselling author Candace Camp weaves a heartwarming tale, first in a thrilling new series, of Christmastime love, discovery, and scandal. . . .

When plain and proper Thea Bainbridge stumbles upon a baby in the manger of her church’s nativity, she is understandably shocked. Discovering a brooch bearing the insignia of Gabriel, Lord Morecombe, hidden among the child’s clothing, she is certain the dissolute rake is to blame. Incensed, Thea sets out to reproach the arrogant lord—only to find herself utterly swept away.

Gabriel is intrigued by the vivacity in Thea’s flashing gray eyes when she accuses him of fathering the orphan, even as he adamantly maintains his innocence. The brooch is one he remembers all too well, however, and Gabriel is determined to find the mother of the missing child. As the mystery around the baby deepens, Gabriel is continually thrown together with Thea—and finds himself growing more entranced every day.

Even with whispers of winter scandal swirling around them, they cannot deny the longing in their hearts. A longing which promises the best gift of all: a shelter from the storm . . . in each other’s arms.

Kelly Meding’s war-ravaged Los Angeles is ground zero for the ultimate Meta human showdown in this sexy, action-packed new series.

Fifteen years ago, Teresa “Trance” West was a skilled telepath and a proud member of the Ranger Corps. But ever since the Rangers were inexplicably rendered powerless at the climax of the devastating Meta War, she’s bounced from one dead-end job to another. Now her powers have reappeared just as mysteriously as they vanished— only they’re completely transformed and more potent than ever. And they’re threatening to destroy her.

Trance heads to Los Angeles to track down the surviving Rangers and discover who restored her powers—and why—but a phantom enemy is determined to kill them before they can reassemble. As they dodge his deadly attacks and come to terms with their new role as heroes, Trance and the rest of the team set out to annihilate the sinister madman . . . only to discover their own powers are his greatest weapons.

From the old steel mills of Pittsburgh to the picturesque hills of Scotland, romance novels save the day in RITA Award–winning author Gwyn Cready’s fun and sensuous take on literature and modern-day love.

When snobbish book critic Ellery Sharpe screws up at Vanity Place magazine, her boss assigns her the ultimate punishment: write an ode to romance novels, a genre she considers the literary equivalent of word search puzzles. To make matters worse, he hires her sexy former party boy ex, Axel Mackenzie, to shoot the photos. Axel really wants the project to succeed. For one, the magazine will double his fee if he convinces strong-willed Ellery to write a story no woman can resist. Besides, getting Ellery to fall for romance novels might be just the push she needs to believe people can change . . . even him. At his sister’s advice, Axel gives Ellery a copy of Kiltlander, a much-adored romance whose warrior hero is utterly irresistible. To her dismay, Ellery finds herself secretly falling in love with the story—and with Axel, who’s drawing his own lessons from the book’s compelling hero. With her carefully crafted image of herself crumbling and her dream job on the line, will Ellery risk it all to make the leap from tight-lipped literati to happily-ever-after heroine?

  1. Ohhhh, that Hawkins book sounds great. And I’m sorry but what is that man wearing under his kilt on the cover of A NOVEL SEDUCTION? Apparently he’s not really Scottish! The story sounds cute however.

  2. I would so love to be in with a chance to win either Karen’s or Candace’s new release. Both of their covers are amazing and I adore their books.

    Thank you for this opportunity Beverley.

  4. I love Karen`s books!! I have read all the Hurst Amulet series. Would love to win these books. I have a love of the written worn 🙂

  6. Karen Hawkins all the way! I am very much looking forward to reading A Most Dangerous Profession. Yuuuum!

    I haven’t heard of a lot of these other authors, but I’m actually very intrigued by Trance, A Novel Seduction and A Winter Scandal. I love the Season for giving me so many pieces of awesome advice on new things to read!

  7. I’ve already read the Karen Hawkins book (it was good!) so I would love to read The Christmas Cookie Club, Beauty Dates the Beast, A Winter Scandal and A Novel Seduction. They all look great! What a fantastic giveaway:) Thanks so much!

  8. They all look amazing!!
    I’d have to say Karen Hawkins is definitely at the top of my list.. Can’t wait to read this book!!
    My second choice would be Candace Camp’s A Winter Scandal.. I’ve always loved her books!

    Great giveaway!!

  9. I’ve been looking forward to Karen Hawkin’s book. So glad its finally here! I love the cover of Candace Camp’s book! I do judge books by the cover!

  10. Thanks for a great contest 🙂 I would love to read the newest from Karen Hawkins or Candance Camp. I have heard great things about Gwyn Creadys newest as well 🙂

  11. Ohhh, Candace Camp and Karen Hawkins for sure. They are 2 of my must read authors : ) They are all good authors, I purchase Gwyn Cready as well, but Historical Romance will always win out in selection.

  13. Wow – these are all great books – and a great giveaway for sure! I love Candace Camp – and always love to “meet” new authors through their books!

  14. I would love to have either Karen Hawkins, Gwen Cready, Candace Camp or Ann Pearlman. I have each of these on my wish list and have been looking forward to reading them.

  15. I find it impossible to choose, and just open myself up to which ever one might find its way home to me to enjoy ! They all look fabulous.

  17. Thanks Bev and Pocket books for the generous giveaway! I’ve been eyeing BEAUTY DATES THE BEAST. My second choice would be A MOST DANGEROUS PROFESSION.

    Babs: Pocket Books was kind enough to send me a copy of A NOVEL SEDUCTION for review and it is a cute and hilarious story. I couldn’t put it down.

    Bev, you are the awesomest book lady every!

  19. Any of these books would be cool to win but I have not read Gwyn Cready or Jessica Sims and would love to give them a try! Thanks!

  21. What a great giveaway! What great stories to look forward to. They all sound good but the historical genre is my very favorite and I would really love to read one of those. However, the Ann Pearlman and Jessica Sims books did catch my interest.

  22. Beverly,
    I shout-out of thanks to Pocket Books for giviing us a chance to win some great books by fantastic authors!

    My favorite genre is historical romance and two of my favorite authors are Karen Hawkins and Candace Camp. Who could pick between A Most Dangerous Profession by Karen and Candance’s A Winter Scandal? I can’t wait to read both!

    When I venture into contemporary I always head for one of Gwyn Cready’s book because they always give me a “Calgon” moment of fun and relaxation. What fun that Ellery is heading to Scotland and doesn’t know that she’s on her way to meet her perfect bachelor!

    If I’m one of the winners I’d be thrilled with any one of the above and two is even better! Good luck to all who enter.

  23. Oh, they all sound like wonderful stories. I would love a chance to win A WINTER SCANDAL. 🙂

  25. Awesome giveaway. I would love to read Karen Hawkins’ book, Candace Camp’s book or Jessica Sims’ book.

  28. I live in Pittsburgh and love me those highlanders so Gwyn Cready’s book really calls to me. Historicals have always been my favorite and first choice in reading but I never turn down a book lol.

  31. Karen and Candace’s books look really good but I also I have never read any of Gwyn Cready’s or Ann Pearlman’s books so I would be interested in reading their books.
