Book excerpt: City girl in Montana looking for her Romeo... Sounds like the start of a Hallmark movie, right? Well, it would if they had movies about idiot women flying across the country to marry a man they'd never met. Yup, that's what I did. I responded to an ad in a random newspaper that I found on the train. And now I'm trying to find Horseshoe Ranch so that I can marry some cowboy I've never even seen. And no, this isn't the 1800's. I'm just desperate. To make matters worse, the cowboy doesn't even know I'm coming. His mom and dad arranged it all. I'm going is because I have $100 to my name and an old mafia boyfriend after me. I figured life couldn't get any worse in Montana. I was wrong. In my excitement, I left the address and phone number for the ranch at home, so now I'm here in Montana and I have no idea where I'm supposed to go.

Book excerpt: The bestselling author of the “clever spine-tingler” The Secretary returns a vicious and suspenseful tale of love-gone-wrong. When Joel answers an ad in the back of the Farmers’ Almanac that promises to deliver the perfect wife, he isn’t sure what to expect. For sure, it isn’t Gina. Gina was aware she possessed secret powers—that’s what her father called them—from a very young age. He always told her she would make a perfect bride. So that’s exactly what she became. She knows she’s not supposed to use her “powers” for evil and destruction, but Pine Lake is a small place, and Gina has big dreams—plans, in fact. She also has charm, beauty, sex appeal, and intelligence. Only two things stand in her way: the social norms of 1953, and her new husband, Joel. The solution may call for desperate measures. But, then, if anyone can get away with murder, it’s Gina. However, there’s something Gina has yet to realize. That handsome groom of hers? He’s a serial loner for a reason.
