EVERY SECRET THING 7/2006 ISBN: 0345485653 Gina Paletta should have been used to upheaval. From her childhood in a small southern town to her career in Manhattan’s glamorous modeling world to sudden, unplanned motherhood, Gina has forever struggled to keep her life under control. Now, at thirty-three–her “year of waking up”–she has moved with her young sons to upstate New York and reinvented herself as a college professor. At last she can nurse the fragile hope of safety, the hope of security. But Gina learns that security is an illusion when a pair of police detectives arrive at her doorstep. Two of Gina’s students have posted salacious photographs of her on a website. Even more troubling, these young men are suspects in a local murder. Beneath the campus elms, amid the ivied masonry of the collegiate buildings, and in the libraries where she secrets herself from the world, Gina Paletta must now contend with a new sensation: terror. As the tension rises, Gina turns to her family and friends, only to discover lies and violence beneath placid surfaces. Fearful for her safety and that of her children, determined to guard the new life she has built, Gina comes to rely on the company and protection of one of the detectives assigned to her case. Yet even as their relationship grows more complicated, the danger around them mounts–and Gina finds herself marshaling reserves of strength and resolve she never dreamed existed.

THE TROUBLE WITH PARADISE 10/2007 ISBN: 0425217191 When Dorie Anderson meets a cute guy, her tongue swells and she becomes a huge klutz. Maybe this is why she hasn't had a date in six months. Statistically speaking, these years are supposed to be the sexual highlight of her life. So where are the highlights already?? One phone call has turned Dorie's dead-end life into an adventure: she's won a trip on a singles cruise to Fiji. With her cutest outfits packed and the Love Boat theme in her head, Dorie boards-and soon meets two hotties: pro baseball player Andy, and the ship's hunky French doctor. She's sure she'll fall head-over-heels in no time. Unfortunately, she's right: before she knows it, she trips over her luggage right in front of them, leaving her with her foot twisted-and her ego deflated. But bigger disasters await. First, Dorie finds a man murdered in his bunk. That same night, a storm wrecks the ship, stranding everyone on a deserted shore. It'd be a perfect setting for romance-if it weren't for the fact that there's a killer among them who probably won't settle for being voted off the island. RR@H's Novel Thoughts
