 DESTINATION: MARRIAGE June 2008 Harlequin ISBN-13:978-0-373-83725-0 $5.99 U.S. $6.99 CAN Three brides plus three plane tickets=three unforgettable weddings in this anthology perfect for the wedding season. Jill Marie Landis headlines this collection of destination wedding stories with “Trouble in Paradise,” a warm hearted, humorous tale set on the island of Kauai. Talk about a jinxed bride! Carrie Evans gets a bad case of pre-wedding jitters when her dream getaway nuptials appear to be sabotaged by fate. First her groom misses their flight, then her luggage fails to show—with her wedding dress inside—and the “Storm of the Century” grounds their guests on the mainland. On top of it all, her fiancé’s great aunt seems to have wandered away somewhere between Florida and Denver. Throw in a missing caterer, a cryptic warning from a mysterious Hawaiian man who Carrie may or may not have seen, and Kurt Rowland, a groom who realizes he is running out of time to convince his bride to say yes all over again. |
 HOMECOMING June 24, 2008 Steeple Hill Books ISBN-13:978-0-373-78624-4 $6.99 U.S. $8.50 CAN Jill Marie weaves an unforgettable story about a young woman adrift in two worlds, and her courageous journey to discovery, belonging, and love. Tell me who I am, Tell me where I belong. I am a woman without a name, without a home… For the first time, Eyes-of-the-Sky prayed to the white man’s God. One look in the mirror told her she was not a Comanche…yet she remembered no other life. She watched the whites who had taken her after her “rescue,” the mother, Hattie, and her handsome son, Joe, and wondered what her life had been like before her childhood abduction. She looked at Joe, who had suffered much and forgave little, and knew a longing in her heart. But questions remained: What am I? Who am I? |
