They chose as their leader Lord Edward Fitzgerald, brother of the Duke of Leinster. And their choice brought him to a crossroads. One road led to Kildare and his lovely young wife, Pamela. The other beckoned him to Dublin, political intrigue – and betrayal.

    The epic story of new arrivals in the Old West—a proud family of dreamers in the wilds of Texas Hill Country . . . 
     
     
     
    They came to America to start a new life. Three brothers and their sister, the Baxter heirs lost everything they had in Europe so they boarded a ship to the Texas coast, hoping to stake a claim in the land of opportunity. They knew frontier life will be hard. But their troubles begin before they even reach Texas. A man is killed on board—a member of the fierce MaClochlainn clan who blame one of the Baxters for his death. So begins a blood-drenched feud that will haunt and pursue them as they try to build a future in Texas Hill Country . . . 
     
     
     
    Now a fugitive on the run, the wrongly accused Perry Baxter changes his name and joins the Texas Rangers—waiting for the day his past catches up to him. His oldest brother, Athelston, struggles to build a ranch in Commanche territory while the middle brother Jeremy turns to gambling and running with outlaws. Their sister, Bodie, falls in love with a rugged frontiersman, who teaches her the importance of riding, hunting—and shooting—in a life-or-death game of survival. Each of the siblings have forged a path of their own. But when one of them is in trouble—and a rival is out for revenge—the Baxters stick together. Because family is family. And blood is thicker than bullets . . .

    Slash and Pecos match wits with the wiliest opponent they've ever had—a wickedly smart woman who can't be caught—in their wildest western adventure yet . . . 
     
     
     
    It sounds like an easy job: track down the lady friend of notorious outlaw Duke Winter and bring her in for questioning. There's just one problem: Slash and Pecos have never met a woman like Miss Fannie Diamond, a glamorous showgirl who's prettier than a French poodle, slicker than a Dodge City gambler, and more slippery than a Mojave rattlesnake. She knows that Slash and Pecos are coming for her and has no intention of being caught—not without one hell of a fight . . . 
     
     
     
    By the time the duo arrive at the Rocky Mountain mining camp where Miss Diamond is performing, the devilishly clever gal has already arranged a welcome wagon for them: some hired thugs who knock Slash and Pecos silly. Still, the show must go on—so the pair decide to snatch Miss Diamond off the stage in the middle of a performance. It doesn't take long for Slash and Pecos to learn that there's no business like show business—and no showgirl like Miss Fannie Diamond. Sometimes, the female of the species is deadlier than the male . . .

    After a royal prince is assassinated, Kitty Worthington is asked to investigate. The murder seems to be the work of a madman who soon makes her his next target. 
     
     
     
    London. 1923. Excited about her new direction in life, Kitty Worthington motors about London in her spiffy new roadster. Granted, finding purloined Poodles and lost Labradors may not be what she envisioned, but they keep her busy enough. At least, there aren't any bodies dropping at her feet. 
     
     
     
    But then a visiting royal dignitary loses his head at the Tower of London, and she finds herself embroiled in yet another murder investigation. The suspects are endless. Could it be the wastrel son? The betrayed wife? The devious cousin? The ghost of Anne Boleyn? 
     
     
     
    With the help of her ace team, comprised of lords and ladies, her maid and chauffeur, and her ever flatulent Basset Hound, Sir Winston, she sets out to solve the mystery. But there's a madman on the loose who seems equally at home among the glamorous world of British high society and London's dark underbelly. If she wants to catch the murderer, she needs something more, someone who knows all about the royals. And that can be only one person, heaven help her, her mother.
