Your Scandalous Ways (Avon Historical Romance) $7.98 James Cordier is all blue blood and entirely dangerous. He’s a master of disguise, a brilliant thief, a first-class lover—all for King and Country—and, by gad, he’s so weary of it. His last mission is to "acquire" a packet of incriminating letters from one notorious woman. Then he can return to London and meet sweet-natured heiresses—not adventuresses and fallen women. Francesca Bonnard has weathered heartbreak, scorn, and scandal. She’s independent, happy, and definitely fallen; and she’s learned that "gentlemen" are more trouble than they’re worth. She can also see that her wildly attractive new neighbor is bad news. But as bad as James is, there are others far worse also searching for Francesca’s letters. And suddenly nothing is simple—especially the nearly incendiary chemistry between the two most jaded, sinful souls in Europe. And just as suddenly, risking everything may be worth the prize. |

Bollywood Confidential (Avon Books) $3.48 After seven years of slogging through film roles too embarrassing to mention, twenty-eight-year-old struggling L.A. actress Raveena Rai has finally been offered a lead! A potentially career-making turn in a major Hollywood epic, perhaps? A meaty part in a serious drama with Oscar® written all over it? Not! To Raveena’s great dismay (and her mother’s delight) she’s flying off to India to star in a new Bollywood extravaganza. Oh well, a lead is a lead, after all. Never mind that it’s a million humid degrees in Bombay, the Los Angeles of the East; that she has to live with a wacko distant uncle who sleeps under furniture and is the most stressed-out wannabe swami on the continent; that her director is a lecherous hack and his movie has the potential of being the very worst flick ever made anywhere! At least Raveena’s leading man is the supremely sexy Siddharth, Bollywood’s biggest star. But while their on-screen chemistry is electric-hot, off-screen the arrogant hunk treats her with total disdain … or, worse still, ignores her. Raveena’s one consolation is that things couldn’t possibly get any worse. Oh yeah? Want to bet? Lights, camera, action! |
