Added Part 9 of Just A Breath Away by Colleen [Uber/Alt/Incomplete]

Announcement from Blue Feather Books
We're pleased to announce the release of Canyon Shadows , fourth book in The Shadows series:

Archaeologists Kim Blair and PJ Curtis, newly married both in ancient days (thanks to time travel) and in modern times, are eager for some privacy and relaxation. They set up housekeeping on Kim's ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Though idyllic in nearly every way, their domestic bliss becomes tedious, and the Land of Enchantment seems too tame after the action-packed adventures Kim and PJ experienced in Arizona, Wales, and Greece. Then a visit from an Amazon spirit guide forces them to refocus on their destiny and warns them of unexpected danger and heartache.

While PJ is away on a business trip, someone breaks into the house on the ranch. Kim's trusted wolf-dog, Pup, is injured and Kim disappears. Few clues exist, but PJ finds the one most likely to reunite her with her beloved Kim. PJ must risk everything to rescue her spouse from a desolate canyon hideaway.

In this fourth book of the West and Welsh "Shadow" series, Amazon shaman meets Navajo medicine woman in a gripping saga. PJ and Kim combat unspeakable evil, face overwhelming physical and mental pain, and strive valiantly to restore the harmony they so treasure. They've said they'll love each other forever and always, but just how long is that? The answer is a matter of life or death and lies in the Canyon Shadows.

Don't wait to get your copy of this exciting fourth installment in the ongoing adventures of Kim and PJ, available in print or in digital format!

On The Fast Track To Love by Norsebard [Uber/Alt/Complete]

Critical by Fingersmith [Original/Alt/Complete]
Restaurant owner, Claire Connolly, initially believes Jennifer Cartwright collapses on purpose to see how she will cope with the situation. But it soon comes to light that someone is behind it all and is not going to stop until he exacts his revenge on the dark haired food critic.
Bring in Fiona Houghton - smart and willing to go the extra mile. It isn't long before she is on the trail of a man intent on destruction, and he doesn't care who he destroys along the way.
A tale of murder, kidnapping, and devastating obsession. How on earth can something as fragile as blossoming love come from this? Simple. Love is stronger than everything. Isn't it?

Announcement from Bedazzled Ink
Food lovers! We have a special treat for you. What happens when someone raised in an Italian household becomes a vegetarian? Well, if you're Roberta Roberti you write a cookbook called What, No Meat? Traditional Italian Cooking the Vegetarian Way.

As Roberta put it . . . "When I first gave up meat, I discovered I didn't know how to prepare vegetarian meals. It became necessary to learn how to make a variety of dishes so I wouldn't drown in pasta with marinara sauce; as much as I love it. So pour a glass of wine (or tea, as the case may be) and take your senses on a journey of classic and ancient culinary delights. I share with you the precious offerings of my family and our culture."

Treat yourself today. You don't have to be a vegetarian to indulge in these recipes, just a love for really great food.
