The 1994 recession has hit Cassie Franklin, a custom jeweler in Eden Beach, California, right in the heart. With sales falling and bills piling up, and with would-be real estate mogul, Carla Towne, scheming to force Cassie out of her shop, Cassie must pull out all the stops to survive. Her best chance to save her business is to find a way to get into the most prestigious art show in Eden Beach, but to do that, she will have to take risks with her work and her life. Risks that might cost her everything. It's the worst possible time for Tate Garner, handsome owner of the exciting new restaurant around the corner, to stroll into her life. Tate's silver-spoon background is everything Cassie, an outsider with a chip on her shoulder, ridicules. But as she discovers the man behind her preconceptions, she wonders if she can trust herself to take the biggest risk of all: falling in love.

Stacie Cappella just wants a normal life. Instead, her eerily accurate-though unpredictable-gift of Second Sight, inherited from her eccentric, fortune-telling great aunt, has given her a lifetime of embarrassment, shattered friendships, and broken hearts. She does her best to keep her inconvenient hunches to herself. But even something as simple as selling wind chimes, crystals, and tarot cards at her shop, The Bell, Book and Crystal, has opened her to charges of witchcraft. Then the belligerent wife of a powerful city council member accuses her of fraud. Eden Beach Police Detective Ben Robard, a jaded Iraq war vet and skeptic of all things metaphysical, is reluctant to take on the frivolous fraud investigation, especially since a serial killer may be targeting his city. Despite signs the no-nonsense cop is the love her aunt foretold, Stacie is determined to keep a fence around her heart-and a tight rein on her intuition. But one chilly morning, a nightmare steps out of the fog, and Stacie must risk revealing her gift to convince Ben she's in danger. It's a move that could save more lives than hers-but could lose her the chance at love she thought she'd never have.

This photo book is great for Boston Terrier lovers of all ages It's a fun activity to find the Bostons; whether they're easy to spot or a bit more difficult.

Middle-aged and mostly respectable, Tish O'Donnell and Kat Merevec have lived on promises and prayers long enough. When Tish's philandering husband, Fitz, walks out on her, and goes back on his promise of security to Kat, they're both determined to make him pay-by emptying the safe in his Evanston, Illinois, jewelry store. But when they crack the safe, they're shocked to find almost a million in cash, a stash of hot diamonds, and a glittering pile of gold ingots. What swindle is Fitz working?Now Kat and Tish are on the run with far more than they bargained for-and from far nastier villains than a scheming soon-to-be-ex-husband. With directionally challenged Kat behind the wheel of Tish's classic 1957 Buick convertible, they do what no one will expect-head south and west through Illinois along the unlikeliest of escape routes: the Mother Road-Route 66.

Kat Merevec and Tish O'Donnell are ready to enjoy their drive through Missouri on Route 66. Sure, they have to keep selling the "inventory" of stolen diamonds stashed in the trunk of their 1957 Buick ragtop, but no one knows they're hot...yet...so why not have some fun?But the Missouri pawnbrokers are acting ominously suspicious, and an annoying retired couple with an overactive interest in the Buick keeps popping up like gophers in a new lawn. Even the Irish clan of motorcycle-riding security experts who befriend them may not be as innocent as they appear.Those worries pale, though, compared to the mysterious black SUV haunting the Buick's rearview mirror and triggering Kat's recurring nightmare of another black car and a dark winter night. Then Tish compounds their crimes by kidnapping a turtle.Getting out of Missouri alive is going to take a lot of work. But reaching the safety of the California coast might take all the luck they've got...
