Bunco Babes Gone Wild
by Maria Geraci
Paperback, Penguin
In Stores November 2009
Georgia Meyer needs some time to think—and what
better place to get her head on straight than
Whispering Bay, Florida, in the company of her
sister Frida and her sister’s Bunco friends,
better known as the Bunco Babes? Georgia’s
boyfriend—and boss—Spencer Moody made a slight
miscalculation in the romance department and
gave her a calculator instead of an engagement
ring. So she needs some sisterly advice, in
between rolling dice and drinking frozen
margaritas, as to her next move.
While considering subtracting Spencer, Georgia
meets the very handsome Dave Hernandez.
Unfortunately when a Bunco night gets a little
out of hand, Georgia reveals more of herself to
Dave than she intended. Now, as she helps the
Babes prepare for a fundraiser,
she needs to search her heart—and keep her shirt
on—long enough to decide if a love affair with
Dave might be a dream come true or just a flash
in the pan.

According to Jane
by Marilyn Brant
Paperback,
Kensington
In Stores October 2009
It begins one day
in sophomore English class, just as Ellie
Barnett's teacher is assigning Jane Austen's
"Pride and Prejudice." From nowhere comes a
quiet 'tsk' of displeasure. The target:
Sam Blaine, the cute bad boy who's teasing Ellie
mercilessly. Entirely unbidden, as Jane might say, the
author's ghost has taken up residence in Ellie's
mind, and seems determined to stay there. Jane's
wise and witty advice guides Ellie through the
hell of adolescence and beyond, serving as the
voice she trusts, usually far more than her own.
Years and boyfriends come and go - sometimes a
little too quickly, sometimes not nearly fast
enough. But Jane's counsel is constant, and on
the subject of Sam, quite insistent. Stay away,
Jane demands. He is your Mr. Wickham. Still,
everyone has something to learn about love -
perhaps even Jane herself.

Paperback, Dell
Publishing
In Stores May 2009
For Amy the countdown to graduation has begun,
and suddenly the perfect ending to a perfectly
iconoclastic Eli career is slipping from her
grasp. Her new boyfriend’s been made an offer he
just can’t refuse. Her fellowship applications
haven’t even been filed. And the student she’s
chosen to take her place in Rose & Grave – the
country’s more powerful and notorious secret
society – seems to come complete with a secret
life already intact.
Amy finds trouble around every corner, from
society intrigues and unlikely stalkers to
former flames and mandatory science credits.
Surely it couldn’t get worse…until Initiation
Night explodes into a terrifying scene and a
last test of wits for a young woman just trying
to make it out of the Ivy League in one piece.

Bunco Babes Tell All
by Maria Geraci
Paperback, Penguin
Group
In Stores May 2009
Meet the Bunco
Babes of Whispering Bay. Every Thursday night
they roll dice, drink frozen margaritas, and
catch up on all the gossip in their small north
Florida town. Kitty Burke is the only Bunco Babe
who is still single—which is okay—but she’s
thirty-five and may need to face that her image
of Mr. Right is all wrong.
Take Steve. Very sexy—but on paper, with three
failed marriages and a shady career, maybe not
great husband material. And yes, his ring tone
is “Freebird.” Certainly fellow Babes Shea
Masterson and Pilar Diaz-Rothman vote thumbs
down. But maybe there’s more to Steve than meets
the eye? Is it time for Kitty to take a chance
and hope that she can be as lucky in love as she
is in Bunco.

Every Demon Has His Day
by Cara Lockwood
Paperback, Simon & Schuster
In Stores April 2009
Constance Plyd
never thought of herself as anything special.
She was known in Crockett County, Texas for her
State Fair winning chicken fried steak recipe,
not her ability to quote bible verse or foretell
the future. But that all changes the day a demon
kills Constance's hapless, soon-to-be ex-husband
Jimmy and she starts seeing visions of the
coming of the Anti-Christ, and his mother, Dante
London, a Britney Spears wannabe pop princess,
who comes to Crockett County to film her first
movie. Constance has to keep a promiscuous
London from having a fling with the devil, all
while fending off demons, proving herself
innocent of her husband's murder and coming to
terms with her mixed feels about the suspicious
sheriff, her irresistibly sexy ex, Nathan
Garrett.

The Girl She Used to
Be
by Dave Cristofano
Hardcover, Grand
Central
In Stores March 2009
When Melody Grace
McCartney was six years old, she and her parents
witnessed an act of violence so brutal that it
changed their lives forever. The federal
government lured them into the Witness
Protection Program with the promise of safety,
and they went gratefully. But the program took
Melody's name, her home, her innocence, and,
ultimately, her family. She's been May Adams,
Karen Smith, Anne Johnson, and countless
others--everyone but the one person she longs to
be: herself. So when the feds spirit her off to
begin yet another new life in another town,
she's stunned when a man confronts her and calls
her by her real name. Jonathan Bovaro, the
mafioso sent to hunt her down, knows her, the
real her, and it's a dangerous thrill that
Melody can't resist. He's insistent that she's
just a pawn in the government's war against the
Bovaro family. But can she trust her life and
her identity to this vicious stranger whose acts
of violence are legendary?
