Alibi in High Heels

by Gemma Halliday Available from the Gateway Amazon store!

Baguettes, bodies, and haute couture galore! Shoe designer turned amateur sleuth Maddie Springer is at it again—this time in fabulously fashionable Paris.

When Europe’s designer du jour, Jean Luc LeCroix, invites Maddie to show her creations at Paris Fashion Week, Maddie’s sure she’s died and gone to heaven. That is, until Jean Luc's top model is found dead on the runway, stabbed with a familiar stiletto heel. Sure someone is trying to frame her, Maddie enlists the help of her friends, including the sexy Detective Jack Ramirez, to uncover a daring jewel heist, a devious blackmailer, and even a few skeletons lurking in the closets of those closest to her.

But as the evidence mounts, Maddie becomes the prime suspect and Ramirez is stuck between a badge and a cute blonde with a tendency for trouble. With her love life on the rocks and a murderer on the loose, if Maddie doesn’t uncover the real killer soon, she might be saying her final adieu.

Distracting the Duchess

by Emily Bryan Available from the Gateway Amazon store!

BARING IT ALL

From the moment she saw the man on her doorstep, Lady Artemisia, Duchess of Southwycke, wanted him naked. For once, she’d have the perfect model for her latest painting. But as he bared each bit of delicious golden skin from his broad chest down to his—oh, my!—art became the last thing on her mind.

Trevelyn Deveridge was looking for information, not a job. Though if a brash, beautiful widow demanded he strip, he wasn’t one to say no. Especially if it meant he could get closer to finding the true identity of an enigmatic international operative with ties to her family. But as the intrigue deepened and the seduction sweetened, Trev found he’d gone well beyond his original mission of… DISTRACTING THE DUCHESS

Dragonborn

Day by day the Unhatched grows, and when at last it births they will be joined in a sacred and eternal bond. Gone will be the barmaid forced to dance for pennies; born will be Dag Natiya, revered Queen. Take her body or her soul, nothing will stop them.

ONE SLAYER
When dragon power flows through your veins, when dragon emotions trample your soul, you become a monster. So knows Kiril, for one destroyed his cousin. No matter how kind or joyful, all beings must succumb to the power of the wyrm. That is why Kiril vowed to destroy dragonkind—and he has almost succeeded. Only one egg remains. But there is an obstacle he did not foresee: love.

Netherwood

by Michele Lang Available from the Gateway Amazon store!

THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN…
And her name is Talia Fortune. Her mission: capture the cyber outlaw, Kovner, a man who knows she is more than just a sheriff—Talia is also a woman, with a woman’s desires.

News Blues

by Marianne Mancusi Available from the Gateway Amazon store!

TUNE IN
All 27-year-old Maddy Madison wants is a cute guy, a designer handbag and to work at Newsline. What she has is a dead-end job at News 9 San Diego, a psycho boss and a counterfeit Kate Spade. One with a badly glued-on label. Oh, and no guy.

TURN ON
Just when Maddy’s sure her days of producing sensationalistic puff pieces will never end (“Perilous Pets!” “Deadly Dishwashers!” “Clay that Kills!”) she’s offered a promotion. She’s now an investigative producer—and that’s not all; she’s also partnered with the station’s newest photographer: sexy, motorcycle-riding bad boy and former moviemaker Jamie Hayes. But every silver cloud has a stormy lining. Her new job is with News 9’s narcissistic anchor, Terrance Toller; Jamie’s getting married (not to her); and reporting the truth is about as easy as watching your divorced parents get remarried (not to each other).

TAKE OFF
So, how does Maddy get to produce real news, bag her boss and win her man? Stay tuned. It’s the story of a lifetime.

No Good Girls

by Jean Marie Pierson Available from the Gateway Amazon store!

My name is Geri O’Brien, and I’m having a bad-hair life. My last date was with a guy who’d rather make tracks than make love; I work for a publisher who actually thinks a kids’ book about the Donner Party is a fun idea; and the closest I’m ever going to get to my dream man is seeing him on the side of a taxi.

When I started writing this, I thought that fabled New York minute was never going to come for me or my friends Maria, Emmy, and Sally. But when one of us got dumped, one of us got shot and one of us threw up on a 4 star restaurant window, I had a run of luck you need to read to believe. I guess it’s true what they say: Every time we complain there are no good men out there, a great guy out there complaining that there are…No Good Girls

Savage Flames

by Cassie Edwards Available from the Gateway Amazon store!

Legendary Predator

It was said to guard Mystic Island, deep in the Florida swamps, where an elusive tribe of Seminole hid from the soldiers trying to force them onto the reservation: a snow-white panther with emerald eyes. To her astonishment, Lavinia Price had caught a glimpse of the magnificent beast, perched in a massive live oak, where herons and pelicans shadowed the bright blue sky. But in the next instant her bewildered eyes beheld in its place a handsome Indian with flowing black hair and piercing green eyes. Was either vision real?

Helpless Prey

Stunned by the murder of her husband, terrified by the disappearance of her daughter, Lavinia ventured alone into the Everglades, braving its twisting waterways and the dangerous creatures that lurked within. But instead of death, she found life—a peaceful village and a man who vowed to keep her safe at any cost. In Wolf Dancer’s arms she would know love at last, learning the mysteries of the white panther and discovering a passion as hot as... SAVAGE FLAMES
