Florentine Death
High in the hills above Florence was the beautiful old Villa Paradiso—rambling, large, of rough stone smothered in vines—home of Barbara Loomis's late great-aunt, the Contessa Mercedes d'Albiensi. Her imagination stirred by an unexpected bequest, Barbara feels compelled to visit the villa, and there she is warmly greeted by Mrs. Wadley, her great-aunt's companion, by the handsome Gianni Monteverdi and his small niece Eleanora, by the Principe and Principessa Monteverdi . . .
But did they really want her there?
Death haunted the villa. First a dog dies, wantonly poisoned. Then Barbara becomes terribly ill. Is it possible that her great-aunt's death was not an accident? And could it be that someone is trying to murder her, too?

Can a message from a dead woman deliver Margo from a killer's hands to a haven of love?
In bewilderment, Margo Brand heard the terrible news. After thirteen years abroad, she has at last returned to magnificent old Brand House, the scene of her childhood, and to the one person in the world who meant the most to her—only to learn that person has just died.
But just as puzzling as the sudden death are the conditions of Aunt Vicky's will and the cryptic message she had carefully hidden in a bundle of old letters for Margo to find. Had she been trying to warn Margo against danger?
Surely there is no danger from her handsome adopted cousins, John and Michael . . . from her childhood playmates Norma and Ben … from the houseman Pompey or his wife Clara.
Then who is trying to frighten her away from Brand House . . . to injure her . . . to kill her?

A Love Triangle
For almost two years, Iris Easton has told herself that falling in love is dangerous because it can break your heart. After all, hadn't it happened to her?
So, when she arrives in Paris with her recently widowed Aunt Louisa and meets the magnetically handsome Frenchman Paul Chandon, it is only natural that Iris gives him the cold shoulder. But with her aunt's encouragement and Paul's charming persistence, he quickly becomes their companion.
Then it dawns on Iris: Is it Louisa that Paul is attracted to? Louisa is a beautiful woman, but she is so much older. Perhaps Paul is a fortune hunter after her aunt's money.
Whatever the reason, Iris has to know the truth. And as she abandons the jealousy and pride, she discovers the true passions of her heart to learn that l'amour is forever.

The Turning Point
Christine Jennings has a life other women would envy: a successful husband, beautiful children, a gracious home. She should be fulfilled, grateful, happy.
But she is only lonely.
Her husband is absorbed in his medical career, her children are leading their own busy lives, and Christine has nothing but a terrible restlessness and an aching need for the haven of a man's loving embrace. So when she meets a handsome, attentive, persistent young man who makes her feel like a woman—not just a wife—she feels her orderly existence collapse in a confusion of duty and desire.
Is this what she's been waiting for? Can she find ecstasy through betrayal? Will a lover bring her a lifetime of joy or just the empty fantasy of one night's passion-filled whispers?

Kelly Jones's vacation in Spain turns into twelve days of danger and death
The passenger list warned Kelly Jones that the night flight to Madrid carried one unaccompanied male child, ten years old. Such children are normally trouble to the stewardesses on any flight, but the description proves inadequate to cover the person of spoiled brat Richard Comstock.
Despite her best intentions, Kelly finds herself attached to the boy, and when his relatives fail to meet him as scheduled on arrival in Madrid, she takes him under her wing, even though it means delaying her own vacation. It's a decision she soon regrets, for Richard is the focal point of developing danger, and Kelly finds herself involved far deeper than she could have expected - perhaps to the point of her own death.
