Repaying the benefits of her mother's iron-willed promise, Christina rises to the top of the fashion industry as the head of her own business empire in New York. But in the most fateful decision of her life, she sacrifices her real dream in the name of love. With her daughter Kyle, the story comes full circle. Will her mother's dream be Kyle's own? Or will she tear the family apart with a single, momentous decision of her own?

"In a headline-current military romance, Major Pete Trayhern is overseeing construction of a power plant in northern Afghanistan. His chief supervisor, Cali Roland, is a redheaded woman far too attractive for Pete's taste. They do manage to work well together while suppressing a growing attraction. Cali, for example, is fluent in Pashto and tells Pete to fire his untrustworthy translator, while Pete has to ride Cali about deadlines, budget compliance, and wearing her flak jacket. The two agonize over their feelings for each other and how and when to act on them until Cali is captured by the Taliban and almost killed. Now forced to admit his long-suppressed love for Cali, Pete takes her home to his family in Montana to help her heal. Gradually, the two warriors work out their fears and differences and figure out how to commit to a shared, married future."

"This is the first in a projected series of historical mysteries: the basic ghost story and illustration of the past life of a Southern teen proves absorbing, tied by the strong ghost connection which is certain to attract attention."

"From the back cover:
A very modern fairy godmother takes a young girl under her wing in The Godmother's Apprentice.
Dear Rosie,
Well, here I am. Ireland is beautiful, and Felicity Fortune's house is pretty nice. There's something weird about the pool, though, and the cat talks to me. I'm not kidding. Felicity has turned out to be an odd one too. She keeps disappearing, and I could have sworn I saw her dancing at the bottom of that pool. (Sigh.) I just wish I could get started on this godmothering stuff...
Sno Quantrill will soon get her wish. And the adventure of a lifetime..."

"The bestselling author of Sweetwater and more than 20 other novels tackles Depression-era Oklahoma with wit, freshness and memorable characterization. In 1932, after Henry Ann Henry's father dies, she's left with a farm to run and two disreputable half-siblings to civilize. Soon the young woman's brood grows to include her African American foster mother, a vagrant with a secret past, and the young son of a handsome neighbor whose wife is going mad. There are plenty of troubles to contend with, not the least of which are the wagging tongues of the town gossips. An old-fashioned storyteller, Garlock creates people and places with a tart honesty reminiscent of a more adult version of the "Anne of Green Gables" series. Although the black dialect may grate on modern ears, it still has the ring of authenticity. The book is billed as a historical romance but should have wider appeal. National print advertising. (Sept.) FYI: This is the first of three books by Garlock set in the 1930s"
