NAKED ONCE MORE 1989 ISBN: 0446360325 She may be a bestselling author, but ex-librarian Jacqueline Kirby's views on the publishing biz aren't fit to print. In fact, she's thinking of trading celebrity for serenity and a house far away from fiendish editors and demented fans when her agent whispers the only words that could ever make her stay: Naked in the Ice. Seven years ago, this blockbuster skyrocketed Kathleen Darcy to instant fame. Now the author's heirs are looking for a writer to pen the sequel. It's an opportunity no novelist in her right mind would pass up, and there's no doubting Jacqueline's sanity...until she starts digging through the missing woman's papers - and her past. Until she gets mixed up with Kathleen's enigmatic lover. Until a series of nasty accidents convince her much too late that someone wants to bring Jacquenine's story - and her life - to a premature end.
THE NIGHT OF FOUR HUNDRED RABBITS 1989 ISBN: 0812507738 The pyramids of Mexico City's Walk of the Dead towered above and around Carold Farley, their beauty shrouded in the terror they suddenly held for the young American. For someone had tipped her that her father was alive in Mexico, and now that someone is after her!
THE NIGHT TRAIN TO MEMPHIS 1995 ISBN: 0446602485 Vicky Bliss, assistant curator of the National Museum in Munich, doesn't know a thing about Egyptology. It's her familiarity with larceny that brings an intelligence agent to her office with an offer she can't refuse. They want her as an operative on a luxury Nile cruise because 'certain information' has come to their attention - on a dead body - that a major heist of Egyptian antiquities is in the works. Will Vicky risk her life and all 5'11' of her shapely body in order to stop the thief? Vicky suspects that the man the authorities want is her occasional lover and frequent adversary, the art thief and master of disguise she knows only by one of his many aliases - 'Sir John Smythe.' On the first day of the trip, in the shadow of the Sphinx, she does spot him - with a beautiful young girl clinging to his arm. Stunned and furious, Vicky is too preoccupied with her own feelings to concentrate on crime as the cruise ship sails up the Nile. Of course, she's also distracted by a billionaire offering romance, a gorgeous 'sheik' suggesting some very private tours, a pompous Boston professor flattering her ego, and a glamorous American widow giving her beauty tips. But when another distraction shows up, in the person of her loveable and exasperating boss Her Dr. Schmidt, and one of the crew is brutally murdered, Vicky realizes that this dream cruise is turning into a nightmare voyage and that everything she cherishes is threatened by perils even worse than death.
SILHOUETTE IN SCARLET 1990 ISBN: 0446364827 He was a thief, a cheat, irresistibly wicked - and the pounding of her pulse was louder than the message from her brain. Three days later the statuesquely beautiful Dr. Victoria Bliss had left the National Museum with a one-way ticket to Stockholm and a note in an archaic language. It would be a journey into romance and laughter and mystery and terror...
STREET OF THE FIVE MOONS 1987 ISBN: 0812507665 What does it mean? The note with the hieroglyphs was found in the pocket of a man lying dead in an alley. The only other item of interest was a piece of jewelry, a reproduction of the Charlemagne talisman. It was good, so good that Vicky Bliss thought she was being shown the real jewel. The goldwork was done by a master; the jewels weren't glass but top-quality synthetic stones. What did it mean? Vicky didn't know...yet. But on the sunbathed streets and in the moonlit courtyards of Rome, she was going to find out - if the dangerously exciting young Englishman didn't get in her way...
SUMMER OF THE DRAGON 1980 A good salary and an all-expenses-paid summer spent a sprawling Arizona ranch is too good a deal for fledgling anthropologist D.J. Abbott to turn down. What does it matter that her rich new employer/benefactor, Hank Hunnicutt, is a certified oddball who is presently funding all manner of off-beat projects, from alien conspiracy studies to a hunt for dragon bones? There's even talk of treasure buried in the nearby mountains, but D.J. isn't going to allow loose speculation - or the considerable charms of handsome professional treasure hunter Jesse Franklin - to sidetrack her. Until Hunnicutt suffers a mysterious accident and then vanishes, leaving the weirdos gathered at his spread to eye each other with frightened suspicion. But on a high desert search for the missing millionaire, D.J. is learning things that may not be healthy for her to know. For the game someone is playing here goes far beyond the rational universe - and it could leave D.J. legitimately dead.
