In 1861, New Mexico Territory is swept by change as the United States erupts in civil war. Federal troops are recalled to the east, leaving the way open for Confederates to invade New Mexico and capture its resources on the way to the ultimate prize: Colorado gold! Three young people are caught up in the conflict: Alastar O'Brien, a Colorado miner turned soldier; Laura Howland, a young lady from Boston, recently orphaned; and Jamie Russell, a shop clerk from Texas serving as a quartermaster. The maelstrom of war brings them together in a clash of ambition, patriotism, and the simple need to survive. "Glorieta Pass is a crackling good story with its climax in the Civil War battle of Glorieta Pass, often called 'the Gettysburg of the West.' Through the protagonists and the narrative the author provides a vivid portrait of the Southwest frontier in the first years of the Civil War." --James M.

Romance

Rice,Patricia

Historical

Romance and Danger are in the Air Dorothea Franklin’s life is sliding toward disaster just as surely as her house is crumbling into the Pacific. Her unusual talent for feng shui can’t bring harmony to her invalid father or prevent her brother from dying in an experimental helicopter crash. Or has he? She turns to computer genius Conan Oswin, whose brother also reportedly died that day. When Dorothea informs Conan that she didn’t feel the vibrations of her brother’s death, he wants to dismiss her illogic... but his instinct for trouble is already on full alert. His attraction to her is almost as distracting as her nonsense about chi and harmony -- nonsense that plants doubts about the deadly crash. If only she would quit twisting his head with temptation, he might be able to save their brothers and her life.

The Pirate and the Princess... Nora Adams believes she is only a schoolteacher and a poor seaman’s widow until the day she inherits a fortune, and her mother sends her to London to deliver a mysterious message to a newly arrived foreign princess—who looks much like Nora. Once Princess Elena receives Nora’s missive, she steals Nora’s identity and vanishes. Left adrift in unfamiliar waters wearing ill-fitting royal shoes, Nora determinedly sets out in search of the real royal. Nick Atherton long ago retired from his villainous life of piracy, but he’s dragged out of his role as fashionable fribble to protect the princess—or the false princess. Nick would far rather seduce the comely widow, but to do so, he must dodge French spies and pursue misbehaving royalty. For the fate of a nation, Devil Nick takes to the high seas again, but will that cost him the only woman he could ever love? ~~~~~~~~~~ RT Reviews 4 ½ star Top Pick: "With her powerful voice, Rice presents the reader with a laid-back, rakish hero and a heroine whose tongue is as sharp as the sword she is adept at wielding. Mayhem, French spies and the return of a few characters from her previous books all make for a delightfully delicious, sensual gem of a read."

Notorious Atherton (Rebellious Sons)

Notorious for failed relationships. Ellen Rosings knows that's true of cops. Detective Tony Aragon has even said it about himself, or something like it. Despite her misgivings, she is drawn to him, but can he reach past a cop's cynicism to trust her? As summer surrounds her Wisteria Tearoom in the beauty of a lush rose garden, death overshadows the tearoom a second time. Maria Garcia—a venerable member of the Santa Fe Rose Guild—breathes her last in the tearoom's front parlor, throwing Ellen into a morass of doubt and conjecture. Was it murder, or merely misfortune? Or—as Tony suggests—was it a crime of racial hatred? The more Ellen learns about the inner politics of the Rose Guild, the more she suspects foul play.
