After solving two murder cases in their hometown of Lachlan, Florida, Sara Medlar, her niece Kate and their friend Jack need a change of scenery. Sara arranges for them to visit an old friend of hers in England. Upon arrival at Oxley Manor, a centuries-old estate that has been converted to a luxury hotel, Kate and Jack quickly realize that Sara is up to something. They learn that Sara has also invited a number of others to join them at Oxley.
When everyone assembles, Sara lets them know why they are there. Decades earlier, two people ran off together from Oxley and haven’t been heard from since—and Sara wants to solve the case. As the people who were there the night the two went missing, the guests find themselves cast in a live mystery-theater event.
In reenacting the events of that night, it becomes clear that everyone has something to hide and no one is safe, especially when the discovery of a body makes it clear that at least one of the people who disappeared was murdered.
Sara, Jack and Kate are once again at the heart of a mysterious case that only they are able to solve. But someone is willing to continue to kill to keep the truth about Oxley Manor buried, and none of the guests are safe.

Žena koja je tako brzo postala njegovim razlogom za život prkosi mu u svakoj sitnici i ponaša se prema njemu kao prema neprijatelju.

No, kada Milesu Montgomeryju isporuče dar - ženu anđeoske ljepote, nagu umotanu u sag - poljuljat će se njegova sva dotadašnja uvjerenja. Jer bit će dovoljan samo jedan pogled na zelene oči, raskošnu kosu boje meda i bujne obline Elizabeth Chatworth pa da ga preplavi nezaustavljiva strast.
No, Elizabeth je žena kojoj su muškarci mrska stvorenja i nikada im se ne bi predala, osobito ne jednome od omraženih Montgomeryja. Osim toga, Miles je drži kao zarobljenicu i stoga ima svaki razlog vjerovati da je on samo još jedna ništarija u nizu. Zašto je onda toliko uznemiruje pogled na njegove blage sive oči, a tijelo ustrepta svaki put kad joj se približi? I je li ona Milesova zarobljenica ili zarobljenica vlastitih uvjerenja?

True Love (Nantucket Brides, #1)
Jude Deveraux
Jude Deveraux, the New York Times bestselling author of unforgettable romance, returns with a breathtaking first book in a fantastic new series—the Nantucket Brides trilogy. Set on the magical Massachusetts island, True Love introduces characters from a new generation of Montgomery-Taggerts, the beloved family from Deveraux’s classic novels.
Just as Alix Madsen is finishing up architectural school, Adelaide Kingsley dies and wills her, for one year, the use of a charming nineteenth-century Nantucket house. The elderly woman’s relationship to the Madsen family is a mystery to the spirited Alix—fresh from a romantic breakup—but for reasons of her own Alix accepts the quirky bequest, in part because it gives her time to plan her best friend’s storybook wedding.
But unseen forces move behind the scenes, creaking Kingsley House’s ancient floorboards. It seems that Adelaide Kingsley had a rather specific task for Alix: to solve the strange disappearance of one of the Kingsley women, Valentina, more than two hundred years ago. If that wasn’t troubling enough, Alix must deal with the arrogant (and extremely good-looking) architect Jared Montgomery, who is living in the property’s guesthouse.
Unbeknown to Alix, Jared has been charged with looking after her while she lives on the island—an easy task for him, considering the undeniable chemistry between the two. But Jared harbors secrets of his own, which, if revealed, may drive a wedge between the pair.
With a glorious Nantucket wedding on the horizon, sparks fly, and the ghosts of the past begin to reveal themselves—some of them literally. Finding their lives inextricably entwined with the turbulent fortunes of their ancestors, Alix and Jared discover that only by righting the wrongs of the past can they hope to be together.

Zacht fluistert het goud
Jude Deveraux
Haar naam is LaReina. Zij is een beroemde operazangeres die triomfen viert in heel Europa. Maar waarom reist deze adembenemend mooie, jonge vrouw nu door het ruige Amerikaanse wilde westen? Waarom trekt zij al optredend in een vreemde rode koets van het ene stoffige mijnwerkersstadje naar het andere? Dat zou kapitein Ring Montgomery ook wel willen weten. Hij, de beste officier van Fort Breck, heeft tot zijn ontzetting de opdracht gekregen "kindermeisje" te spelen. Hij moet de hooghartige LaReina op haar tournee escorteren om haar te beschermen tegen de woeste goudzoekers. Ring is woedend. De Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog nadert en hij moet zich voorbereiden op de strijd. Vreemd genoeg voelt hij zich steeds minder opgewassen tegen de charme en wilskracht van LaReina. Zij wil evenmin van zijn diensten gebruik maken en heeft een heel goede reden om in haar eentje door de uitgestrekte goudvelden van Colorado rond te zwerven. Haar echte naam is Madelyn Worth. In werkelijkheid is zij wanhopig op zoek naar haar ontvoerde, jongere zuster. Maddie durft Ring de waarheid niet toe te vertrouwen - ook al is zij inmiddels hopeloos verliefd. Maar Ring is niet alleen slank, knap en donker, hij is ook heel nieuwsgierig.
