Until Next Time
The Angel Chronicles
Book 1
by Amy Lignor
Publication Date: February 1, 2012

How does a girl choose between the one who steals her heart and the one who owns her soul?

Matt and Emily were created for a specific job. Raised and trained as the ultimate angel/warrior team, they are sent down to save, defend, judge and forgive, depending on the 'life' they've been assigned. What they don't realize is that the power of human emotions, such as love, anger, passion and fear can take over even the best of souls, causing them to make mistakes and follow paths that lead to confusion and heartache.

When the reason for their training is finally revealed, the angel/warrior team find themselves thrust into a world they know nothing about. Matt takes over the life of Daniel, a young man with a great deal of baggage. Emily becomes Liz, a girl living in a remote village who relies on nothing more than her own strength to survive. A violent storm erupts one night, and framed in the window of Liz's establishment is a frightening face. Let in by the soul of a Good Samaritan, the two visitors bring with them a past full of secrets that could literally change an angel's path and a warrior's plans.

From murder to redemption, this angel/warrior team must find a way to keep the faith they have in each other in a world that's ripping them apart.

In Her Sights
by Robin Perini
Publication Date: November 29

SWAT Team Sniper Jasmine "Jazz" Parker can thread the eye of a needle with a bullet. As the only female sniper in the state of Colorado, Jazz is unique--for more than her extraordinary marksmanship skills and cool head. Jazz Parker and her weapon defend the helpless by exacting swift and uncompromising justice. Not bad for the daughter of the town whore.

After growing up on the seedy side of town, Jazz believed when she'd changed her name and her life at fifteen, she'd buried her past. Twelve years later, she even drove away the one man she believed she could love—ex-Army Ranger Luke Montgomery—to protect her secret.

Then, in a fleeting second, the time it takes for one clean shot, one perfect hit, to save the life of the Governor's daughter, Jazz's world begins to crumble around her. Her past and her present now threaten to destroy the life she so carefully constructed for herself. Her face and name have been splashed across the front page and her past has reawakened with a vengeance. A vicious enemy is bent on destroying Jazz's life, forcing her to turn to the one man she can never have in order to stop a killer before she and everyone she cares about pay with their lives.

Bridge of Scarlet Leaves
by Kristina McMorris
Publication Date: March 1

A poignant novel of love and courage, set against one of the most controversial episodes in recent American history. In it, a white woman secretly elopes with her Japanese-American boyfriend Lane Moritomo…the night before Pearl Harbor is bombed. Right away, the newlyweds face far more than family disapproval: in the eyes of a fearful nation, Lane is no longer just an outsider, but an enemy. When he is interned at a war relocation camp, Maddie chooses to follow and as she struggles for approval from her new family, Lane risks everything to prove his allegiance to America.

Kristina McMorris researches heavily and uses her unique insight as the American daughter of a Caucasian mother and Japanese immigrant father to spotlight rare perspectives from history. As a young woman, she heard the extraordinary account of a family friend – one who had fought for America in WWII while his brother fought for Japan. Eventually, that tale became the inspiration for BRIDGE OF SCARLET LEAVES. In seeking to tell the story of the Japanese-American WWII vets who are rapidly becoming extinct, McMorris brings to life an interracial romance challenged by war, internment camps and displaced loyalty.

The Faces of Angels
by Lucretia Grindle
Publication Date: December 16

On a sweltering day in Florence, art student and newlywed Mary Warren wandered into a shady tunnel of trees. Within minutes, she was brutally attacked and her husband murdered. And within months, the killer was identified, caught, and dead.

It’s now two years later and Mary has returned to Florence at the invitation of her lover—a relationship that predates what she insists on calling the “accident.”

Crumbling and beautiful, Florence is eternally compelling. But more and more, what Mary sees is not the glories of the city, but its dark underside—specifically, one dead young woman after another. She also can’t help seeing a terrifying pattern: Either this is a copycat killer, or her husband’s murderer is still on the loose.
