Romantic Suspense
(May 31)

Is there anything a mother won't do to keep her children safe?
Karri O'Brien believes the only way she and her children can escape from her abusive husband is if he thinks they're dead. So she carefully plans to fake their deaths, only to watch her plan go horribly wrong. Now her kids are missing and everyone knows she's lying about what happened--except they think she's killed her children. Since the policeman assigned to the case, Gabriel Ortez, dated Karri in high school, he doesn't want to believe she's capable of murder. But is he wrong about her? And, even if he's right, can he prove she's innocent before it's too late?

Chick Flick
(June 30)

Breezy Jones is crazy about the weather, rain or shine, which makes her new job as the local television station’s meteorologist perfect--until the new station manager, Noah Drake, who is determined to repackage her down-home delivery and casual, girl-next-door appearance, downgrades her to assistant to new diva weathercaster. Breezy seeks comfort from her Chick Flick Clique friends. With a flood of angry emails from the community, dropping ratings, and diva demand, Noah can see which way the wind is blowing. Will the station survive the competitive storm? Will their attraction survive?

Clique Gals
(May 25)

Though you’d think your average former beauty queen would have no relationship problems, Jamie Summers has more than her share.
Coming back to Aspen Grove to care for her mother Iris, Jamie has just hesitantly accepted a proposal from her long-time boyfriend Christopher when a handsome doctor moves in next door.
Dr. David Stevens isn’t sure a beauty queen would be a good mother for his 3-year-old daughter, but Sunny has a mind of her own, and calls Jamie her ‘Earth Mommy.’
What’s a beauty queen to do?
After all, raising an adorable daughter could be her ‘crowning’ achievement

Inn the Doghouse
(July/Aug)

Carrying flowers to the cemetery to put on her husband’s grave, Vicki stumbles across a body. Literally stumbles. It’s hard to tell, but the dead man looks disturbingly like her twin Liz’s estranged husband, Gene. That would be the same Gene who Vicki argued with only the day before. With Liz standing to gain big in the event of Gene’s death and Vicki just plain standing next to the body, both twins are now under suspicion. If they don’t find the murderer, and fast, they might both end up in jail and Vicki’s Who-Dun-Him Inn could well be out of business.

Happily Ever After & Other Rumors

“Hey, slow it down,” Leslie Morgan called out. “Yeah, you. In the Taz tee-shirt.”
The Taz-clad student opened his eyes wide, as though Leslie couldn̓t possibly mean him, and muttered, “Whatever. You don̓t gotta̓ yell at me,” as he slumped down the hall.
Leslie sighed. Here it was, the first day of school, the first class wouldn’t begin for another five minutes, and she’d already had her first run-in with one of the kids.

Time travel doesn't really happen. Does it? Jennie's beginning to wonder when she and her ex-fiancé are pulled into a Wild West painting--in the midst of a guns-blazing bank robbery. She doesn't know how it happened, or how they'll get back, and neither Jesse James nor the marshal seem inclined to give them a chance to find out. Worst of all, Jennie's falling for the one man she swore she'd never trust again.
