Magic By Moonlight

Loup Garou in the Bayou!Professor Jennifer Rose is in a Louisiana bayou for one reason-to track down the truth behind recent sightings of a loup-garou. A werewolf. She doesn't believe in such things, of course. She expects to find an animal no one's ever seen before. Discovering a previously unknown species would make her career as a scientist. But what she finds amid the mists and Spanish moss on the first night of the full moon isn't at all scientific. A lycanthrope in mid-morph takes a swipe at her before loping off into the marsh. A shape-shifter and a Voodoo curse... That's not the only weird thing happening around the historic plantation where she and her crew are staying. The head of her department is acting more like a stalker, her grad student assistants are spying on her, and the housekeeper is a Voodoo priestess who knows far more than she's saying. The sexy town doctor who tends the wolf-inflicted wounds on Jenny's chest isn't what he seems, either. She's dangerously attracted to the secretive loner and determined to learn what he's hiding. She'll risk it all for the truth... Jenny knows where she'll find the answers, but the bayou's a dangerous place for a woman alone on a full moon night.

Ms. Terwilliger Goes Rogue

"Maggie Shayne's books have a permanent spot on my keeper shelf."~#1 NY Times Bestselling Author?KAREN ROBARDSSo, I'm going along in my blissful life, waiting for my guy to get off his ass and pop the question and trying to put my next self-help book to bed, when I'm interrupted by a mental intruder. I'm suddenly doing a ride-along inside some stranger's head, while the attached set of hands strangle a guy in the back seat of a car. It felt like I was killing the guy. But I didn't, because I woke up cussing (not unusual) in my own bed beside my sexy cop and my blind bulldog. Said sexy cop then gets a text about a body, and I know it's the man I just sort of murdered. Turns out mister picture-wire necktie isn't the only victim. One of the others was punched in the face by our 19 year-old sort of kid in front of 20 witnesses right before he vanished. Jeremy is brought in for questioning by Mason's own co-cops. The only other suspects are a woman who beams sweetness and light like a freakin' earthbound angel, and an old horror star who's supposed to be dead. And if those two are murderers, I'm Miz Manners. Mason wants them to be guilty because it would clear Jeremy. He thinks I'm keeping things from him, which I am. He thinks I'm not putting Jeremy first, which I totally am. This whole thing is getting between us. So I've gotta solve it, fast. Even if it means going face-to-face with a serial killer. But the vigilante is more broken than I bargained for, and is determined to silence me.
