A beautiful woman comes to see criminal lawyer Jack Swyteck and begs him to represent her. She says she's about to be arrested for the murder of her husband, an officer stationed at Guantanamo Bay. Having no expertise in military law and sensing that the woman isn't telling him the entire truth, Jack turns her down. Then she drops a bombshell: she claims she's the adoptive mother of Jack's biological son--a child he's never met. Either Jack must represent her or he'll never see the boy.

So Jack takes the case, with great foreboding. He has an unreliable client--a blackmailer who just might be a murderer--and he has to travel to Gitmo and on to Havana to tussle with people who clearly have a lot to hide. This is a case with as many twists and turns as it has unanswered questions, and Jack may have to confront his own son on the witness stand before he can learn the truth.

Let It Be Love  Victoria Alexander

USA Today and New York Times list bestselling author Victoria Alexander has created a brand-new confection of a Regency-set historical romance.

Jonathon Effington, the Marquess of Helmsley must have been born under a lucky star-how else can he explain the fact that despite his frequently scandalous goings on, he hasn't yet been found out for a cad by society. Instead, the ton thinks him just the very paragon of good behavior, and he is in the perfect position to find himself the same in a wife.

But his friends suspect, rightly, that if he were to meet someone truly intriguing and fall for her in over his head, his prim and proper self would go right out the window and be replaced by a man consumed with infatuation. And they know just the woman to prove their point: the beautiful, untamable Fiona Fairchild. So when they scheme to put them in the same darkened room at the same time, sparks fly just as they thought.

But then something completely unexpected happens: Fiona-yes, Fiona-proposes marriage! And, confused about her identity, Jonathon accepts! But when it turns out to be more than some madcap farce, both parties are astonished to find that despite their inauspicious beginnings, they are falling in love, and nothing can stop them both from getting completely carried away by the passion!

A surprising success shows them a ray of hope for humanities survival, but an overwhelming challenge stands in their way- the new vampire King of New York.
