Publisher's Notes
Ellie is young, rich, engaged and in love. These are the carefree days before marriage and new responsibility, and anything goes -- and new responsibility, and anything including house-sitting at eccentric Aunt Kate's palatial estate in Burton, Virginia. Ellie feels right at home here with the nearly invisible housekeepers and the plethora of pets, but she soon realizes that there are disturbing secrets about the local aristocracy buried in a dusty old book she has carried into the mansion, And her sudden interest in the past is attracting a slew of unwelcome guests -- some of them living and some, perhaps not. And the terrible vegeance that Ellie and her friends seem to have aroused -- now aimed at them -- surely cannot be...Satanic.

Circle of the Lily
by Jill Jones
Claire St. John lives alone near the grounds of Hartford Hall, a sprawling ancestral estate in the English countryside.

And when she discovers a curious ring that once belonged to the lady of Hartford Hall, a dangerous mystery is set in motion.When Michael Townsend, an American, rents Claire's guest house, she immediately senses the darkness around him, and can feel the almost tangible intensity of his desperate searching. Every instinct tells her to keep her distance, but she cannot deny her powerful attraction to him.As strange and disturbing events unfold, Claire and Michael are drawn together as soulmates and lovers. But there are forces afoot that would keep them apart--forces as old as time itself. They must fight with everything they believe in to right the wrongs that were first brought about by a secretive group known only as the Circle of the Lily...they must lay bare their darkest secrets...and begin to believe in the love that can save all they hold dear.
Mama Rocks the Empty Cradle
by Nora Deloach
Mamas back on the case, sniffing out dark, tragic secrets...and a killer.Not much happens in Otis, South Carolina (pop. 5,000) that Mama, a caseworker for the Department of Social Services, doesnt know about. Mamas given name is Grace Covington, but everyone calls her Candi--for the honeyed color of her complexion, not her cooking (which is second to none from Otis all the way to Atlanta, where I work as a paralegal). I usually go home when I need some truly soul-satisfying eating. But this time I was heading back to Otis to help Mama after her bunion operation. I had no idea wed end up knee-deep in somebody elses trouble....It all seemed to start when Mama and I were shopping for groceries and crazy old Miss Birdie stole Cricket Childs tiny baby, causing a scene between the two women everyone in town heard about. It wasnt twenty-four hours later that Cricket, known as a lady who liked wild times and wilder men, turned up murdered in a fellows bed. Even worse, Crickets baby had vanished.To add to the chilling events, my Daddys wandering dog Midnight dug up something shocking: an infants skull. And not long after Mama rushed it over to Sheriff Abes office, Midnight brought home another. Naturally, he couldnt tell us where he got them...and the mystery deepened.So no way Mama wasnt going to start snooping. And with the doctor ordering her off her feet, I ended up doing some legwork. But its a good thing I still had two good feet, because before long, I was running for my life...as babies cries and women's tears mingled in a crime fueled by motives as ancient as human memory--greed, jealousy, and old-fashioned revenge.In Mama Rocks the Empty Cradle, Nora DeLoach captures the warmth of family life in the deep South...and the icy tingling of superb suspense. And in Mama she has created a woman sleuth as filled with compassion as courage, wise in the ways of the human heart--and the criminal mind.
