Publisher's summary
Angela Hamilton, a television game show contestant and a highly skilled physical therapist, has broken up with her fiancée and lost the lease on the building housing her clinic. Although she’s given up on love, she hasn’t given up her dream of building a new therapy clinic, and she turns down an offer by an obviously wealthy older woman to manage a new clinic and instead becomes a contestant in a television game show.
When she enters the game show Charades, all the contestants are masked. During the final round of the show, a strange little makeup artist presents her with a beautiful jeweled mask and cautions her about a future he suggests may offer both love and danger. Before the final round of the game, Jeremy Pryce, the show’s sponsor, arrives on the set where it is obvious to all that in spite of the mask, he is attracted to Angela.
Now, although Angela wins the final round and 50,000 dollars, she knows it’s not enough money to build her dream clinic. Given a choice, she agrees to gamble the 50,000 for a million dollars by masquerading as a famous international play girl, on a Caribbean cruise for 10 days, without being identified. What she doesn’t know is that at least one female celebrity passenger, and possibly more, has been murdered on a Pryce Cruise line ship. She also doesn’t know that Jeremy Pryce will be on board the Queen of Charades in an attempt to identify the killer before he can kill another celebrity.

Story
This is a captivating historical mystery, infused with romance, that links the lives of three women across a century - two deep in the past, one in the present - to the doomed passenger liner, RMS Lusitania.... Her finances are in dire straits, and best-selling author Sarah Blake is struggling to find a big idea for her next book. Desperate, she breaks the one promise she made to her mother and opens an old chest that belonged to her great-grandfather, who died when the RMS Lusitania was sunk by a German U-boat in 1915. What she discovers there could change history.

Story
When Aline Griffith was born in Pearl River, New York, in 1923, one might have guessed from her exceptional beauty that a career as an actress or model might be in her future. Few would have imagined that twenty-one years later, she would find herself in Spain as a deep-cover OSS agent, infiltrating the highest levels of Spanish society, or that five years later still, she would marry a Spanish grandee and become one of the most watched, most admired, most fascinating women of international society. This is the story of Aline, Countess of Romanones, a story of courage, beauty and success that is far more exciting than any fictionalized thriller.

Story
When Aline Griffith was born in Pearl River, New York, in 1923, one might have guessed from her exceptional beauty that a career as an actress or model might be in her future. Few would have imagined that twenty-one years later, she would find herself in Spain as a deep-cover OSS agent, infiltrating the highest levels of Spanish society, or that five years later still, she would marry a Spanish grandee and become one of the most watched, most admired, most fascinating women of international society. This is the story of Aline, Countess of Romanones, a story of courage, beauty and success that is far more exciting than any fictionalized thriller.

Call Hawkins just wants to be left alone and leave the past where it belongs. The bleak beauty of Dead Horse Creek is a perfect place to get away from the world, a place where nothing exists to remind him of everything he's lost. His isolation is complete - until Charity Sinclair arrives fresh from New York City. Stunningly beautiful and stubbornly independent, she's also shamefully ignorant of the untamed wilderness and the very real dangers she'll face if Call doesn't teach her a thing or two.
