NORAH’S ARK
Judy Baer
Steeple Hill Café, September 2006
ISBN: 0373785666
Hi, my name is Bentley.
I'm a mutt with a dash of pit bull in the soup, and I have
issues. I'm not likely to win any beauty pageants, and I'm
afraid of cats. But my human, Norah Kent, thinks I'm the
greatest despite all my shortcomings.
The problem is Norah won't go out with anyone who doesn't
like me. Norah says she's perfectly happy being single, and
that in God's time she'll marry Mr. Right. But I think
God's time may be right now, and Mr. Right may be Officer
Nick Haley--the one guy who's afraid of a kitten-fearing
basket case of a dog like me! I'll do just about anything
to bring Norah and Nick together, even if I have
to…gulp…woof!

A REASON TO LIVE
Maureen McKade
Berkley Sensation, Sept 5, 2006
ISBN: 0-425-21220-3
How could I refuse the wish of a dying man?
May 30, 1865: During the Civil War, I watched over too many
young boys
in the hospital, comforting them as they cried out for
those they loved, as they whispered their final thoughts to
me. Keeping a record of their names, families and last
words seemed a small tribute to their sacrifice—until the
war ended, and I found a new mission in life. I would visit
the loved ones of those poor soldiers and deliver their
messages, so that some comfort could be found even in
grief…
But Laurel Covey never expected to find a man like Creede
Forrester—an ex-gunslinger who rode all the way from Texas
to Virginia in the hope of finding his son, and ended up
saving her from a band of ruffians. It pains her deeply to
tell him of his boy’s death, and she believes that in his
heart, Creede blames himself for driving his son away. But
there is something more to this rugged, weary man.
Something that draws Laurel closer to him...something she
cannot resist...
