Allyson is giving away a signed copy of BABYDOLL.
Combining crime, comedy and romance . . . “BABYDOLL is a fast, fun read with great characters and action that never stops. Allyson Roy is a future star.” —New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards. When the brother of her best friend is convicted of murdering three fashion models, Brooklyn sex therapist Saylor Oz is convinced someone is reenacting murders from a retro porn movie called Bad, Bad Babydoll. She and her roommate Benita get on the case for some wacky, hit-and-miss sleuthing. Between run-ins with a sexy P.I. and sparks flying in more ways than one with hot boxer Eldridge Mace, Saylor winds up being part of a designer's zany plan to tweak the fashion world — and becomes the killer's next target.
Allyson Roy is actually the husband-wife team of Alice and Roy. Roy is a former standup comic, and Alice, a dancer, teacher, choreographer.

Livia is giving away a signed trade paperback KILLER CRAB CAKES and an autographed mass market paperback copy of THE CHRISTMAS COOKIE KILLER.
When Phyllis's cousin asks her to look after her Oak Knoll bed-and-breakfast for a few weeks, Phyllis jumps at the chance-mostly because the inn is located close to the annual Rockport, Texas, Just Desserts competition. Determined to beat her friendly rival and enjoy some peaceful downtime with her boyfriend Sam, Phyllis concocts the ultimate sweet treat. But Phyllis's holiday turns bitter when she and Sam discover a dead body-and all signs point to murder. Dismayed that bad luck seems to pop up wherever she goes, Phyllis wants to stay out of this one. But as the list of suspects gets too close for comfort, she decides to throw herself into the mix. Because when it comes to solving murders, Phyllis is one smart cookie.

NEVER SAY STY, the 7th Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter Mystery
L.A. attorney and pet-sitter Kendra Ballantyne has helped to start the new reality show "Animal Auditions", in which pot-bellied pigs are to be judged by a panel. But things screech to a halt when a nasty judge is found strangled to death by a pig harness.

For their sake—and that of the show—Kendra must work like a dog to clear their names... Linda O. Johnston has written 16 romance novels, including two Silhouette Nocturnes, with more to come. She is also the author of the Kendra Ballantyne, Pet-Sitter mystery series. And watch for the Kendra spin-off mystery series about a pet rescuer!
