By Brown, Lorelie
My name is Rachel. I'm straight ... I think. I also have a mountain of student loans and a smart mouth. I wasn't serious when I told Pari Sadashiv I'd marry her. It was only party banter! Except Pari needs a green card, and she's willing to give me a breather from drowning in debt. My off-the-cuff idea might not be so terrible. We get along as friends. She's really romantically cautious, which I find heartbreaking. She deserves someone to laugh with. She's kind. And calm. And gorgeous. A couple of years with her actually sounds pretty good. If some of Pari's kindness and calm rubs off on me, that'd be a bonus, because I'm a mess-anorexia is not a pretty word-and my little ways of keeping control of myself, of the world, aren't working anymore. And if I slip up, Pari will see my cracks.

Ruthless
By Jackson, Lisa
Dear Reader, Early in my career, I wrote several novels inspired by Oregon's stunning scenery. I'm thrilled that three of these books are now available again in one volume, with a new title, Ruthless. Best of all, here you'll meet three of my favorite heroes: Attorney Jake McGowan, world-class skier Gavin Doel, and developer Brandon Scarlotti. Each is as rugged and memorable as the landscape - and as intriguing as the women they can't forget. Jake couldn't feel much sympathy for the woman who'd married his wealthy, despicable, sworn enemy. But now that she was embroiled in a child custody battle, he would help her - and relish getting sweet revenge against her ex. . . . Superstardom hasn't helped Gavin get over his first love, or the way she inexplicably left him.
