Product: Rainbows
Description: She sat by the telephone in her suite, waiting for his midnight call, watching the hands of the clock move so slowly toward twelve. The knock didn’t register at first, and when it did, she moved reluctantly to open the door. It would be a bouquet of winter roses and a brief message of apology . . .
But it was the man she loved, his blue eyes dark-circled, his beloved face pale and drawn.
“Oh,” she breathed as she touched the taut skin beneath his eyes. “Oh, you’re here.”
She led him into the room and into her bed, and to the magical place of peace that was their love. He had believed that gentle, fragile place was gone, trampled by the monstrous emotions that raged within him. But for one night of exquisite intimacy, the monsters were still and the churning restlessness was calmed, and there was only the tenderness of their love . . .

Alexandra and Catherine Taylor are sisters—and strangers. Each longs for the closeness they have never had, never knowing how to reach out to the other and discovering, when at last they decide to try, that it’s almost too late . . . for shocking secrets, inner demons, and tragic loves stand in their way.

As the star of Pennsylvania Avenue, TV’s hottest primetime drama, Alexa has it all, beauty, fame, and fortune. Her off-screen life is even more dramatic. She's in love with a powerful man who cannot promise her more than their secret nights of pleasure. Alexa accepts this compromise without question, not knowing that her clandestine passion will drive a deeper wedge between herself and Catherine.

Gifted concert pianist Catherine has always let her music shield her from the world. But even her magnificent gift, and her beloved music, cannot shield her from the devastating truth of who she is, and who she is not. Catherine hides the terrible secret, even as she searches for answers. Her courageous journey will take her to a glittering Mediterranean isle . . . and into the arms of a man who will make her whole.

Desire and heartbreak, passion and love. Alexa and Catherine must travel those perilous journeys of the heart before they can be the sisters they want to be and find the happiness that awaits them both at the end of their rainbows.

A splash of suspense, a dash of Christmas magic, and a sleighful of love. . .

A ghost of Christmas past makes the holidays a difficult time for homicide lieutenant Nicholas Hunter. It was just days before a long ago Christmas that Nick’s dangerously unbalanced mother disappeared with his four-year-old brother—the brother that the then eight-year-old Nicholas had vowed always to protect. Thirty years later, Nick continues his unrelenting search for the brother he lost, and now—once again at Christmastime—a psychopath is forcing women from Nick’s past to publicly humiliate themselves in an effort to destroy their careers and draw Nick into a life-or-death game of catch-me-if-you-can. It is against this dramatic backdrop that Nick, who has always believed that there is no place for love in his deeply scarred heart, meets Claire.

Claire was an innocent sixteen-year-old when she became the victim of an apparent hit-and-run accident. The life-threatening head injury she suffered imparted an extraordinary gift, but also left her with an intense foreboding of imminent personal harm so terrifying that she felt compelled the flee the city she loved. Now, fifteen years later, Claire returns to Seattle intent on unmasking and conquering that enigmatic fear—only to discover that its cause is very real.

At a tender age, Allison Prentice comes to the devastating conclusion that she is simply the wrong child for her wildly successful, perfectionist parents. No matter how hard she strives to meet their unbounded expectations, her parents' approval remains an elusive dream. Even her brilliant academic achievements receive faint praise. For the shy, unhappy Allison, the solution is escape: as a child, into her own private world; then, as soon as she graduates from high school, from the city in which she grew up. When Allison finally returns to Seattle, it is as a superstar intellectual property litigator. She is just beginning to find happiness—and love with a man named Lucas—when the psychopath chooses her as his next pawn.

Product: The Other Twin
Description: Thirty-one years ago, on a cliffside highway between San Francisco and Carmel, an accident changes forever the lives of the survivors of crash. But their lives remain entwined, a tapestry of love and loss and secrets—and of pride, too, for the youngest survivor, the baby girl who was born on that stormy day…

Paige Forrester is a doctor now, a dedicated physician who fights to save her patients even as her own life is in peril. She pushes herself and excels in her work, but she’s alone in her private life, and inexplicably distant from the mother with whom she has always wanted to be close. And now that mother, the wealthy and reclusive Claire Forrester, has chosen Jack Logan—who Paige loved in college love, and who left her—to renovate her San Francisco mansion.

On the same day that Paige will see Jack again, she meets Gweneth St. James, a gifted makeup artist who’s as vivacious and social as Paige is reserved. It’s a surprising encounter for both of them, a sharing of confidences that both have kept hidden, and it will changes their lives in stunning ways . . . including, for Gwen, a chance meeting with Dr. Cole Ransom, the gray-eyed surgeon who sees what she has always hidden, the woman she is behind the mask.

Product: The Cinderella Hour
Description: The Cinderella hour. The midnight chime of magic, of fairy tales, and of love. An enchanted hour for those who dare . . .

Sixteen years ago, Snow Ashley Gable fled Chicago, running away from the kind of loss that comes with love—and from a friendship that turned into betrayal. Now she is coming home, bringing her successful late-night radio talk show, "The Cinderella Hour," to the Windy City.

There are risks for Snow in returning home—risks and fears. The father she never knew. The mother who indulged in dangerous fantasies. The high school heiress who uncovered her greatest secret. And above all, most of all, there is Lucas Kilcannon, the troubled boy she loved, will always love.

Luke has never forgotten Snow or the love they shared. His fury that she ran away from their love, without warning or explanation, still burns deep and bright. He wants to know why Snow fled, and he intends to find out. He plans to see her, confront her, and insist that she tell him the truth.

But it’s a truth Snow doesn’t fully know—not yet—for there are secrets that have been in hiding, all these years, even from her.

Product: PEARL MOON
Description: “Remarkably romantic and thoroughly enchanting.”—Rendezvous on Pearl Moon

“Katherine Stone delivers not one, not two, but four intertwining love stories in this tender, moving, entrancing novel.”—Romantic Times on Pearl Moon

Pulsing with romance, danger, and excitement, the sweeping bestseller PEARL MOON is the triumphant story of two remarkable sisters, bound by blood but separated by fate, who face unexpected danger and discover unrivaled passion in turbulent and exotic modern-day Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is a place of intriguing contrasts, of the ancient and the new, the cosmopolitan and the mystical, a spectacular marriage of East and West. It is also a place of great excitement and uncertainty as the year 1997 draws near, the year the British lease expires on the Crown Colony and sovereignty of Hong Kong reverts to China.

Maylene Kwan is the architect of Hong Kong’s most luxurious hotel, the Jade Palace. Like the building she has designed, she is an intoxicating blend of East and West, of harmony and conflict. Her desire for fierce and rugged Texan Sam Coulter, the hotel’s builder, is potent and addictive. But a devastating secret stands between Maylene and true love. Now she will come face to face with the American sister she has never met, a sister who doesn’t even know Maylene exists.

Photographer Allison Whitaker, the cherished daughter of a powerful Texas family, has always viewed the world through a camera lens. Unaware of the blood ties she shares with Maylene, Allison comes to Hong Kong to savor freedom for the first time in her life. She falls in love with the British aristocrat James Drake, the hotel’s developer, unwittingly putting her life in jeopardy as Drake’s arch enemy prepares for a deadly showdown.

As pressure builds for completion of the luxury hotel, both sisters will know the deadly menace of a force as elusive as the morning fog swirling over Victoria Peak . . . and as deadly as the typhoons that strike the tiny island with such fury. It will be a time of bold desire and hidden evil, of the beauty and capriciousness of nature, of hope renewed and love as eternal and precious as Hong Kong itself.

Chase Carlton has been alone all his life. Yes, there have been women, many women, with whom he has shared the smoldering passion that comes from the dark danger that lies deep within him.

When he makes the stunning discovery that he has a twin who may have been murdered by his wife, he sets out to entrap the murderess, never imagining that it will be he who becomes entrapped, enchanted, by the most daring illusion of all . . .

In the beginning, Jillian’s marriage to celebrated filmmaker Victor Kincaid was picture perfect. But over time everything changed. And on a fateful night he is lost at sea, presumed dead in a sailing accident. Then the news comes that he has miraculously survived. The man who returns to her looks like the husband who was lost, but there is something very different about him, and she finds herself falling in love again. But there is such danger for her heart with this man . . . and there’s another danger, a lethal one, a psychopath who chooses as his victims women who look like her.

Product: Imagine Love
Description: Imagine moonlight and roses. And London and Paris. And the intoxicating magic of a Louisiana bayou. Then join New York Times bestselling author Katherine Stone on this enthralling journey of passion, courage, danger, and love . . .
They met beside a brilliant blue bayou. She was an innocent girl, and he was a reckless and angry boy. Claire Chamberlain believed in dreams, and Cole Taylor believed in nothing at all. Cole had no reason to believe—until her. They pledged their love beneath the silver winter moon, but their bold dreams were shattered. Now, twelve years later, Cole Taylor, singer of love songs, returns to the bayou. So much—for Claire—has changed. Yet she has found a private peace, such a fragile one that Cole's very presence threatens her serenity. And now Cole is asking her to do the impossible, to come away with him to London. Claire knows he will break her heart again, but she will be with him, she has to be, for as long as she can.
Claire's is not the only endangered heart in London. A murderer has sent Lady Sarah Pembroke an engraved Valentine invitation—to her own death. And is Claire's girlhood friend afraid of the knife-wielding monster? Hardly. The Global News' star correspondent, the woman who feels oddly sane amid the madness of war, has her own private demons, memories far more fearsome than a murderer who chooses the most romantic day of the year to inflict his lethal terror.But neither Sarah's past nor the killer stalking her are as terrifying as Jack Dalton, the FBI consultant determined to save Sarah's life. Jack needs Sarah's help in his exhaustive, careful search for clues, but remarkably and infuriatingly, Sarah resists. Sarah will not tell Jack the intimate information he needs to know, and yet it's as if he already knows her anguished secrets, cares for her more than he should, and wants far more from her than she can ever give.
Imagine Love is an enthralling read, a beautifully crafted tapestry of suspense and love, of surprises you won't imagine, and of men and women you will never forget.

Product: Twins
Description: New York Times bestselling author Katherine Stone writes from her heart to yours . . .

Love, passion, betrayal, and danger amid the glitter of Manhattan . . .

As Melanie gazed into the pond of champagne, her reflection shimmered back at her in honey ripples—her reflection and his.

“Do you know the legend of Narcissus?” he asked.

It was a taunt, a reminder of her vanity, and proof that yesterday's gentle moments in the park were a mirage after all.

“I'm not admiring myself,” she replied.

“Neither was Narcissus. He was a twin. He and his sister looked very much alike. When she died, he spent endless hours gazing at his reflection because it reminded him of her.”

“I always thought . . . wasn’t there something about a wood nymph named Echo?”

Charles smiled. “There are two versions of the myth, and mythologists are divided to this day.”

“Poor Narcissus. What a bad rap. It’s hard enough to be a twin.” Melanie spoke without thinking. Here she was, telling Charles Sinclair the truth again.

“Hard enough,” he agreed easily.

Brooke and Melanie Chandler are so different it’s hard to believe that they’re sisters, much less twins. One is a serious, brilliant prosecutor; the other, a golden, glamorous supermodel. The sisters were close once, joined by the wondrous bond of twins, until the realities of life—and of their differences—tore them apart.

Brooke and Melanie are women now. Can the once-shared closeness be rediscovered? Or have the jealousies and bitterness of the past irrevocably severed the bond?

The wishes of the twins’ hearts are perilous enough, but there’s true danger, lethal danger . . . an obsessed killer has one of them in his sights.

Product: Happy Endings
Description: Katherine Stone writes from her heart to yours. In HAPPY ENDINGS, she creates a richly emotional story of two women, haunted by their pasts, who still dare to believe that, even for them, there might one day be happiness and love . . .

Raven has never been loved, and she was teased without mercy as an impoverished and awkward little girl. Successful now and stunningly beautiful, she is the attorney to the stars, the lawyer everyone in Hollywood wants to have negotiate their multi-million dollar deals. But behind the glamorous facade is a lingering vulnerability and the wish to be loved. It seems an impossible wish. Against the glittering backdrop of her professional triumphs is a dismal record of private failures. Then she meets the enigmatic Nicholas Gault . . .

Holly’s happy and loving childhood was shattered by violence. She has escaped the brutal memories by creating her own world of happy endings. She shares those hopeful worlds with the countless readers of her romantic novels—one of which, GIFTS OF LOVE, is optioned for a major motion picture by superstar Jason Cole. It would have been a thrilling revelation had she not learned that he was planning to change her happy ending. The mere thought of leaving her remote Alaskan hideaway, her isolated cocoon, is terrifying to her. And even more terrifying is the thought of meeting with him. But she has no choice. She must fight to save the happy ending if she possibly can.
