Description

"Patricia Rice is a master storyteller."
-Mary Jo Putney, New York Times bestselling author of Never Less than a Lady

Magic is her birthright...

The daughter of one of the strongest magical lineages, Ninian Malcom Siddons is a powerful witch. Determined to only use her magic for good, she lives a simple, solitary life as a healer in her village, where she meets Drogo.

A man of science doesn't believe in anything he can't see...

Lord Drogo Ives believes only logic and science can explain the wonders of the universe and doesn't believe the local folklore about Malcolm witches and Ives men, until he meets Ninian.

Despite the odds against them and their (many) differences, the bond between Drogo and Ninian grows stronger each moment they are together... until the chaos and danger surrounding them forces each to decide: their love... or their lives...

"You can always count on Patricia Rice for an entertaining story with just the right mix of romance, humor, and emotion."

Paper Roses (Paper series)

Description

VALENTINE SPECIAL PRICE UNTIL FEBRUARY 15TH!

Previously published by bestselling author of the Magic series:

Seeking the dime novel hero Pecos Martin to escort her safely to Texas, Evangeline Peyton Howell can only find a golden-haired gambler willing to take on the task. Unfortunately, Tyler Monteigne is a hell-raising womanizer scarcely suitable for escorting a lady. Evie had grown up in a genteel St Louis home but in reality, she was an abandoned love child with no one to love her—until a letter from Texas told her where to find her true identity.

Tyler could shoot as well as any gunslinger, but he was better at conning his way out of trouble. This pretty gal wrestling with inner demons was more trouble than she was worth, but he had reason to get out of town quickly. Despite all his worldly knowledge, he didn't foresee the dark passions rising to sweep them away, making Evie all he wanted—and making him exactly what she most feared.

Evil Genius

Description

Call her a petite princess or a paranoid neurotic, either way, Ana Devlin has the instincts of a chameleon. She can disappear into the woodwork, share tea with a queen, or flatten a thug with one swift kick, but what she really wants is to provide her dysfunctional younger siblings with the security of the home she’s been denied. When her sister's VIP father is accused of murdering his aide, she decides it's time to go home.

Instead of finding security, she discovers her grandfather has died without the family being notified, his mansion has been usurped by a stranger who never leaves the third floor, and her grandfather’s executor has absconded to the Caribbean with the proceeds of their inheritance. If murder hasn’t already been committed, she might perpetrate one herself—starting with the annoying spider in the attic.

To avoid murder, she makes a pact with the devil who apparently now owns the home she is determined to win back. While she searches for the absconding lawyer and the real murderer of the senator’s aide, she will help their landlord locate a mysterious Cambodian—until oddly, the threads of all three mysteries begin to twine together, and someone is intent on cutting the cord before Ana comes too close to finding the answers.

Description

Readers who enjoy Nora Roberts, Barbara Freethy, and Susan Mallery should enjoy this emotional tale by bestselling, award-winning author Patricia Rice.

Originally published by Random House.

On the inside Mara Simon might still be the sweet, sensitive girl TJ McCloud remembers, but the face she shows the world is that of a beautiful, high-powered Hollywood producer with a movie to make and a schedule to keep.

But underneath the paint and glitter is the girl he used to love, the one with an incredible mind and a loving heart. He needs to shut down her movie set for the sake of national security, but he can’t ignore the fact that her presence makes him rethink everything he thought he wanted out of life.
Now, to win her back, he must show her the difference between Hollywood artifice and real happiness…
