Phantoms of Saw Mill Bridge: Blair Douglas grew up on family stories about the Revolutionary War Battle of Saw Mill Bridge and jumped at the chance to join an archaeological expedition to unearth its remains. But she is uncovering more than she expected in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. One of the other volunteers cannot stop talking about the Reaper, a ghostly serial murderer said to be trapped in the ruins of nearby St. Andrew's Church. The professor running the dig seems more interested in treasure than archeology. And Blair is starting to hear and see things that no one else does—the sounds of muskets, soldiers on the bridge, and the screams of dying men. It's starting to look as if the Battle of Saw Mill Bridge didn't end in 1778. Will Blair survive its final blows? *High Above the Waters: Marcus Hunter won't stay dead…*As a pregnant fifteen-year-old, Autumn Fields learned firsthand that the town ghost was more than a creepy legend. Rejected by her boyfriend and beaten bloody by her father, Autumn climbed out onto the old railroad bridge to kill herself, but a mysterious figure talked her into running away instead. Sixteen years later, she's come back to Prospect with her daughter to learn if there really is such a thing as a ghost on Hunter's Bridge… Ransom: ABBA, Air Supply, Charlie's Angels, Ronald Reagan—it's 1981 and real estate attorney, Lynne Winters', is struggling to manage a constantly complaining mother and a law practice tanking in the worst real estate market in a decade. Then her life really goes insane when a long brown envelope lands on her desk. The heir to the Mackland furniture empire has been kidnapped and the kidnapper has forced Lynne smack in the middle of the ransom negotiations. It's the most important case of her career, but in a time when professional women too often aren't taken seriously, it will take all of Lynne's resourcefulness and grit to find a way to bring the boy safely home again. Blood Ties: It seemed like such an easy case. All attorney Liz Dunn had to do was escort Ryan Hart to meet his long-lost uncle in the tiny country of Carpathia on the Transylvanian border. Ryan stood to gain a ten-million-dollar estate. Liz wanted the hefty check that would keep her law firm in the black. But Ryan's dying uncle, the enigmatic Stefan Carpathios, planned to get something far more sinister in return. In an ancient land where legends come to life, Liz is about to discover that the world is much more complex than she believed and a blood tie can be an exceedingly dangerous thing. Forever After: Middle class, average-Joe, Paul Steele dies minutes after a terrible argument with his wife—dies, but doesn't quite depart for the hereafter. Instead, he wakes in the body of billionaire energy-magnate, Griffon Knight, and no one—not even his wife, Char—will believe he's come back from the dead to be with her again. Trying to convince her he's still Paul only succeeds in making her think Griffon is crazy. Yet Paul is not the kind of man who gives up easily and he's not going to quit until he wins his wife back and convinces her to marry him again. Panic Button: When Ellen Specter won her place on the Reality TV show, Panic Button: Lighthouse Island, she promised herself she wasn't going to do anything stupid. Showmance contestants were weak and foolish, and Ellen had no intention of being used by some handsome guy. But not only is Hank Cross very handsome he's as strong and capable as Ellen is. And when the show's crazy host begins using terror to drive contestants off the island, Angie and Hank quickly figure out that if they don't help each other they won't be around to push the Panic Button. What Child Is This? Is it a Christmas miracle?
