  A soupçon of danger, a brush with 'madame guillotine,' and the quirky characters of the French countryside, all collide in this fifth installment of the Bennett Sisters Mysteries, set in la belle France-- where, obviously, wine, sunshine, sunflowers, and Frenchmen cure all ills. Or do they? 
  Merle Bennett goes back to France -- and her Frenchman (after 'The Things We Said Today.') Sure that France will cure all her ills, and help her write a novel about the French Revolution, she sets out to prove her theory correct. Pascal, her Frenchman, scoffs at this. As a policeman he knows France is pretty to look at but can be not that pretty under the surface.  
  While Merle writes and renovates her stone cottage, Pascal encounters an old enemy, a man he put in prison years before. When Pascal disappears Merle isn't sure if their relationship is over, or something terrible has happened.  
  'The Frenchman' includes chapters of Merle's novel, a glimpse into life during the turmoil of the Revolution. With goats and a handsome stranger!

  A magical talent show, a ghostly messenger and a devious murder. Elsie’s problems are piling up faster than the ‘treasures’ in Zippy’s hoard… 
  On the night of the Obsidian Moon, everyone in town’s on edge. It’s the one night of the year when ghosts can cross into the mortal realm—and believe me, they can hold a grudge. But when a dead body washes up in the pond, the cause of death is ghastly rather than ghostly. 
  The victim is someone from Colt Ridgeback’s past… and part of the reason he lives in his mountain cabin, isolated from the warmth of the town. When he’s named as a suspect, Elsie knows she has to clear his name—and bring him back into the fold. 
  But not even a murder is going to stop Professor Hissington’s Dragonsoul Academy’s Annual Talent Show. Elsie doesn’t have a talent (unless slamming an entire dozen hazelnut cream donuts counts? If so, just give her the trophy already) but she has a magic wand, the power of the All-Flame and a dragon familiar. But a gathering of all the young dragonmancers together with their familiars is risky business. It’s the kind of event that draws the eyes of the Obsidian Covenant… 
  Elsie’s also drawn the attention of someone—or something—else. A mysterious woman seems to know an awful lot about Elsie’s past, her family and her future. She conjures up a frightening vision, and Elsie doesn’t know whether the images can be trusted, or if it’s all a trap. 
  Can Elsie clear Colt’s name (and unburden his guilty heart), perform in the talent show and decipher the clues about her birth family? Or is this the time when everything is going to crash and burn…

  A chance meeting on a moonlit Havana night. 
  An alluring Cuban pilot and a young American soldier. 
  Can they outrun the threat of nuclear war? 
  Lieutenant Charlie Parnell grinds through his daily routine in Army Intelligence at Arlington Hall Station, Virginia. He tracks Cuban movements through Havana newspapers and Cuban radio, but what he’s counting are the dreary days until his military discharge. When the colonel calls him up to the command post one day, the last people Charlie expects to meet are two suits from the CIA. Sure, Charlie’s a gutsy street-smart guy who speaks fluent Spanish and has debriefed his fair share of Cuban refugees, but he’s mostly a pencil pusher with a limp that’s kept him out of the field. What could the nation’s spy organization want with him? 
  As the scheme to unseat Fidel Castro unfolds, Charlie finds the plot runs deeper than the CIA has led him to believe. After the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion, strategic placement of ballistic missiles has heightened the threat of nuclear war, and Charlie fears he’ll end up in the danger zone with only one extremely risky escape route. 
  Skeptical of his CIA handlers, Charlie devises a backup plan. There’s a steep cost to that too, but it’s a gamble that could play out to his advantage in the end. Everything is on track until he meets an attractive Cuban pilot and her daughter. Before any of them know it, they’re running for their lives.

  And he’s about to fight back.

  Blame the booze, her shaky marriage, her troubled son, or a thousand other things, but Jewelann Jordan has one thing on her mind when she attends her class reunion: making sure her old crush Christian Campbell sees exactly what he lost all those years ago. A late night, a hotel room, a rekindled flame that burns even hotter than it did back then—what could go wrong? Everything. The night with Christian isn't the first secret Jewelann has kept from her husband Ken, so one more shouldn't be much harder—except that Christian shows up without warning, seemingly determined to do his best to mess up Jewelann's life in any way he can. Worse than that, he seems to have his sights set on charming her son, Eli, and befriending her husband. Revenge isn't so sweet when it bites you back, but Jewelann is determined to keep Christian from ruining everything she's worked so hard to keep safe, including her son. Fighting to keep it all from spiraling out of control, Jewelann discovers Christian is not the man he claims to be. When darker secrets emerge, even closer to home, Jewelann takes the chance to turn the tables on him. The more Jewelann digs for the truth, the uglier—and the deadlier—it gets.
