Curse of Cortes, Don Weiss
When a child is diagnosed with smallpox, epidemiologist Mackey Dunn is charged with tracking down the source of the deadly virus before panic spreads and a terrifying pandemic is unleashed. FBI agent Charo Chen of the Joint Terrorism Task Force is assigned to assist Dunn in his hunt. More accustomed to pursuing child pornographers, she’s in unfamiliar territory tracking infectious diseases, especially one believed to have been eradicated decades before.
A fifteenth century relic may hold a clue to the reemergence of the extinct disease. Hidden in darkness, a lost treasure may have contained more than just precious jewels. Now someone has disturbed an ancient secret that has survived the centuries to kill again.
Smallpox isn’t the only killer on the loose. While Dunn and Chen race to contain the infection and pinpoint the source, someone is murdering the survivors. As the pressure intensifies to discover who is silencing the victims, precautions fail and a life hangs in jeopardy. Dunn and Chen discover they may be pursuing something even more lethal than smallpox—someone willing to endanger the world to keep a treasure.

Sugar and Spice: A Karma Café Novella , Tawny Weber
From New York Times Bestselling Author Tawny Weber comes the first novella in the sexy Karma Café Series! Hot kisses, sexy shoes and a midnight rendezvous – the perfect recipe for Happy Ever After. Throw in a fairy godmother with personal agenda, a midnight deadline and a marriage-of-convenience and you have a hot and sassy twist on a modern day Cinderella story!
The lady has been waiting…Dedra Hanson has three addictions: gorgeous shoes, yummy treats and her sexy boss. Love of her job has always kept the administrative assistant from acting on her passion for the handsome CEO. Besides, she’s already seen how ugly things could get when her father made his secretary her stepmother. But when Paul starts looking for a bride, the clock starts ticking on Dedra’s resolutions.
A prince in need of a princess…As CEO of a company specializing in luxury footwear, all Paul Chastain wants to do is run a successful business. But the board insists a more mature man might be a better leader. Mature as in married. He hasn’t been holding out for a fairy tale romance, but there must be someone better than the board’s suggested bride.
A magical merger…With the playboy CEO about to become engaged to a chilly socialite, Paul becomes fair game. All Dedra needs for one wild fantasy night is a little help from a café-owning fairy godmother, a magically delicious truffle and the desperate knowledge that if she doesn’t go for it now, she may lose the chance forever. After all, her plane leaves at midnight…
