- The Sisters of Thistle
- by Christina Hamlett
The first thing that young Michael McKay needed to do once his Virginia tobacco plantation began to flourish was to bring his beloved sister Fiona over from Scotland. The last thing he needed was to not only find out that she had become a nun during his long absence but that she intended to bring the elderly sisters of Thistleburn Abbey across the ocean to join her. There's more than holy smoke, however, that will soon be blowing across Michael's property; romance is in the air in the form of Fiona's dearest friend, Daphne, a beautiful but rebellious Englishwoman who has her own reasons for seeking refuge in turn-of-the-century America.

- A Bel Air Lawyer in King Henry's Court
- by Christina Hamlett
Once upon a time, there was a king who had six wives. Not all at once, of course. Nor did he even fathom on this particular evening in 1527 that his reign would become famous for the number of queens that would share his bed. At the moment, he’s only focused on trying to offload his current spouse in order to hastily tie the knot with a woman he believes will bear him the first of many sons.
What he never counted on during his supper that evening was the arrival of a fast-talking divorce lawyer from the 23rd century with an agenda of his own.

- Capitol P
- by Stuart Benjamin
Wear The Badge. Feel The Honor. Conceal The Truth.
Capitol Hill, including the Library of Congress and the Supreme Court, is under the jurisdiction of the Capitol Police, an elite group of officers who often have to turn a blind eye when the crimes committed are by those they are sworn to protect — the very people who make the law. But one detective, new to the Capitol Police, is willing to go up against those who govern this country to make sure justice is always served.
These are the stories the public hasn’t heard about, but should.
