From the Deepest Ocean While the technology of the war to end all wars had changed the face of Europe, some things stayed the same; the tempestuous Scottish coast and the surrounding sea remained a place of unquenchable magic and mystery. Sequestered at Fintry Castle by the whim of her mistress, Hexy Garrow spared seven tears for her past-all of which were swallowed by the waves. Came the Deepest Passion By joining the water, those ears completed a ritual, and that ritual summoned a prince. He came for Hexy--and for something she didn't know she had stolen. He was a man of myth whose eyes held the dark secrets of the sea, and whose silken touch was the caress of the tide. His very nature went against all Hexy had ever believed, but his love was everything she'd ever desired. And he'd come not to collect her for the insatiable ocean, but for himself.

Alex had seen a dead man walk. Not that he should be surprised; he was supposedly dead too. Yes he, Alexandre Dumas, famous author of The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers, was most definitely still alive-and immortal. He had chronicled much of his life for his current publisher: swashbuckling exploits on every continent. But those "fictions" could be no more thrilling than this sudden reappearance of his arch-nemesis, the Comte de St. Germain, the man who had murdered Alex's one true love... and who heart he had torn out over sixty years ago. No less thrilling was the woman of whom Alex now dreamed, a daring beauty who made him hard back to older days, older hopes- a time of love and lust and the highest adventure. She promised escape from the solitary eternity, reminded him that even where darkness beckoned, there was still the sky, the stare immortal and... Divine Night

Some ghosts can be too friendly. Karo Follett left her career in a blaze of glorious rage, ditching both work and its attendant philandering plagiarist, her boyfriend, for a job restoring the Belle Ange plantation in Virginia. On the way, inspiration struck like... well, like lightning. "Melanie Jackson has a truly awe-inspiring imagination... and writes romance for those with a yen for something different."-RT Book Reviews A billion volts can be eye opening, but an even bigger shock is on its way. Karo can now see spirits-and what a spirit! Hugh Vellacourt, the original owner of Belle Ange, was eighteenth-century America's answer to the Marquis de Sade. (She's not exactly sure what de Sad was asking.) Kinky, snarky, twisted, lonely... his fantasyland in the attic is like nothing she's ever seen, and his sense of humor requires Karo get together with her whimsical irreverent, to-die-for boss-a work relationship, which she's sworn off forever. Romance is in the air, but has it got more than a ghost of a chance?

He ne'er is crowned with immortality who fears to follow where airy voices lead... But Chloe wasn't hearing voices; she was having visions. Troops of bloodred Adonis flowers gone feral; a monument of dark granite that seemed more gargoyle than angel, moving and writhing and threatening; these were visions of her upcoming assignment to photograph tombs in Virginia. She had the Sight, just like her Gran, the witch. But Gran hadn't taught her anything about her gift, and Chloe was at a loss. The horrible things she saw: what did they mean and were they real?
