Blind dates can be bad, but Sarah Dearly's date is a true contender for worst ever. His neck nibbling didn't just leave a bruise; it turns her into a vampire, and the newest target for a pack of zealot vampire hunters. With her date now their latest victim, Sarah runs for her immortal life - straight into Thierry de Bennicoeur, a master vampire who is just a wee bit suicidal. Thierry can't resist a damsel in distress and agrees to teach Sarah how to live the vampire life if she'll help him end his own. But as it turns out, Sarah may be his best reason for living. Bitten & Smitten is a study in contrasts: frothy chick-lit wrapped around a grittier reality and a flip side featuring a modern heroine paired with a Brontean hero. And Rowen makes it all work together beautifully.

Zum Glück hat sich wieder einmal erwiesen, daß ein kleines Ehekriseln zu neuer Liebe fuhren kann — wenn zwei zärtliche Herzen klüger sind als zwei dumme Dickschädel.

In Blindside, husband-and-wife FBI agents Lacey Sherlock and Dillon Savich team up again on two vital cases: a killer who targets Washington, D.C., teachers and the kidnapping of an old friend's son. Though six-year-old Sam manages to escape and take refuge with Tennessee sheriff Katie Benedict and her daughter, Keely, his kidnappers quickly strike again...and pay a deadly price for the rematch when reinforcements arrive in the form of Sam's dad (a former FBI agent) and his buddy Savich. But the terror isn't over: It soon becomes clear that whoever is behind the kidnapping has only changed strategies, not abandoned the plan. The investigation leads in unexpected directions, particularly among the followers of a powerful local evangelist. As the story unfolds in a beautiful town nestled amid the Smoky Mountains, the quick-thinking sheriff uncovers unforeseen hazards, surprising secrets...and an extraordinary opportunity for love.

DAIĻĀ MARGARETA Raiders Hegardsno angļu valodas tulkojusi R. Koka«Daiļā Margareta»,  ir viens no  labākajiem šā žanra darbiem. Par romāna darbības fonu rakstnieks izvēlējies 15. gs. pēdējo ceturksni, kad Anglijā un Spānijā norisinājās sīva cīņa starp absolūto monarhiju un feodālo sadrum­stalotību. Anglijā, ko bija galīgi novājinājusi divu feodāļu dzimtu — Lankasteras un Jorkas — ilgstoša un asiņaina cīņa, kura iegājusi vēsturē kā Sarkanās un Baltās Rozes karš, pie varas nāca jauna karaļu dinastija — Tjūdori. Jaunās dinastijas nodibinātājam Henrijam VII, kura valdīšanas sestajā gadā norisinās romāna darbība, izdevās nostiprināties uz troņa un sekmīgi cīnīties pret feodāļiem. Kaut gan romāna darbība norit galvenokārt Spānijā, Hegards veiksmīgi attēlojis arī vēsturisko situāciju tālaika Anglijā. Galvenais varonis — Pīters Broums — ir nabadzīgs tāpēc, ka viņa tēvs, būdams karaļa Ričarda III piekritējs, kritis kaujā pie Bosvortas, kurā uzvarēja Henrijs Tjūdors. Hegards ļoti īsi, bet precīzi rak­sturo Henriju VII — viņa nedrošo stāvokli tronī, cenšanos uzturēt draudzīgas attiecības ar Spāniju.
