By Nora Roberts. 2013
Las investigaciones para dar con un asesino perturbado unirán los caminos de una bella psiquiatra y un taciturno detective. Son…
opuestos en tantas cosas..., y sin embargo eso solo atiza más las llamas de la atracción. Una serie de asesinatos mantiene en vilo al departamento de policía de Washington y más concretamente al detective Ben Paris. Uno tras otro, los cadáveres de mujeres rubias y de complexión ligera aparecen estrangulados en distintos puntos de la ciudad. Ninguna de ellas presenta signos de violencia. El arma homicida siempre es la misma, una prenda marcada con una cruz. Sobre los cuerpos, una nota: «Su pecado le es perdonado». Ningún otro vínculo parece relacionar las distintas muertes. Sin más pistas a las que aferrarse, Ben Paris no tiene más remedio que colaborar con la distante y prestigiosa psiquiatra Tess Court, quien no tarda en trazar el perturbador perfil de un alma torturada. Pero al mujeriego y atormentado detective le cuesta concentrarse. Está distraído por esa mujer tan fría y calculadora que no para de desafiarle con sus ridículas teorías. No podrían ser más incompatibles y, sin embargo, ninguno de los dos puede evitar embarcarse en un peligroso juego de atracción y deseo que les impedirá ver lo que resulta evidente: Tess es rubia, Tess es frágil, y su nombre aparece en la lista de un hombre que solo tiene una misión: salvarla de sus pecados.

By Nora Roberts. 2010
La apasionante historia de una mujer traumatizada que busca el refugio de una isla donde espera olvidar todo lo que…
le ocurrió. A ojos de los demás, Fiona Bristow lleva una vida idílica. Vive en una preciosa casa en una isla de la costa de Seattle, se dedica al adiestramiento de perros y también colabora con la policía en la búsqueda de personas desaparecidas. Tampoco le falta buena compañía: para esto tiene a sus tres perros labradores, cariñosos y fieles. Pero pocos conocen la pesadilla que vivió antes de llegar aquí. Fiona fue la única que sobrevivió al ataque de un asesino en serie, un perturbado que acechaba y raptaba a mujeres jóvenes. A todas las estranguló y las enterró junto con un pañuelo rojo, a todas menos a ella. Además, cuando estaba a punto de ser capturado, el asesino mató a un policía, el novio de Fiona. En la isla de Orcas, Fiona ha encontrado la paz y la tranquilidad que necesitaba para rehacer su vida. Sin embargo, todo esto cambia cuando Simon Doyle llama desesperado a su puerta: a pesar de que nunca le han gustado los perros, le han regalado uno que le está destrozando la casa. A Fiona adiestrar al cachorro no le supone ningún problema, pero no ocurre lo mismo con su dueño. Simon tampoco quiere tener relaciones con ninguna mujer y menos con una como ella: demasiado alta y delgada, y además pelirroja. Mientras ambos luchan contra sus sentimientos, un asesino acecha a la única mujer que consiguió escapar.

her life.Former Army brat Morgan Albright has finally planted roots in a friendly neighborhood near Baltimore. Her friend and roommate Nina helps her make the mortgage payments, as does Morgan's job as a bartender. But after she and Nina host their first dinner party—attended by Luke, the flirtatious IT guy who'd been chatting her up at the bar—her carefully built world is shattered. The back door glass is broken, cash and jewelry are missing, her car is gone, and Nina lies dead on the floor. Soon, a horrific truth emerges: It was Morgan who let the monster in. "Luke" is actually a cold-hearted con artist named Gavin who targets a particular type of woman, steals her assets and identity, and then commits his ultimate goal: murder. What the FBI tells Morgan is beyond chilling. Nina wasn't his type. Morgan is. Nina was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. And Morgan's nightmare is just beginning. Soon she has no choice but to flee to her mother's home in Vermont. While she struggles to build something new, she meets another man, Miles Jameson. He isn't flashy or flirtatious, and his family business has deep roots in town. But Gavin is still out there hunting new victims, and he hasn't forgotten the one who got away.Hideaway

Her long-lost uncle suddenly turned up in her shop, leaving only a cryptic warning before dying in the street, run down by a car. Soon afterward, her home is ransacked. Now it's up to Laine, and a sexy stranger named Max Gannon, to find out who's chasing her, and why. The answer lies in a hidden fortune - a fortune that will change not only Laine's life but also the lives of future generations. And danger and death will surround that fortune for years to come.
