The templar detective / by Kennedy, J. Robert,author.;
Wounded Templar knight Sir Marcus de Rancourt gets word that his sister is dying and returns to a home he hasn't seen in twenty years to find his sister dead and her children orphaned. Sir Marcus decides to remain behind to raise the children, his loyal sergeant and squires insisting on joining him to work the land at his side. Before they can settle into their new lives as farmers, they are thrust into the middle of a conspiracy that could rock the very foundations of the Templars and the Roman Catholic Church. It all starts with a murder witnessed by a little boy who swears Templars killed his parents. Now it is up to Sir Marcus and his men to determine who committed the murders and clear the good name of the Templars before the balance of power in the region goes to someone who should never possess it.

All the beautiful girls [large print] / by Church, Elizabeth J.,author.(CARDINAL)351811;
It was unimaginable. When she was eight years old, Lily Decker somehow survived the auto accident that killed her parents and sister, but neither her emotionally distant aunt nor her all-too-attentive uncle could ease her grief. Dancing proves to be Lily's only solace, and eventually she receives a "scholarship" to a local dance academy--courtesy of a mysterious benefactor. Grown and ready to leave home for good, Lily changes her name to Ruby Wilde and heads to Las Vegas to be a troupe dancer, but her sensual beauty and voluptuous figure land her work instead as a showgirl performing everywhere from Les Folies Bergere at the Tropicana to the Stardust's Lido de Paris. Wearing costumes dripping with feathers and rhinestones, five-inch heels, and sky-high headdresses, Ruby may have all the looks of a Sin City success story, but she still must learn to navigate the world of men--and figure out what real love looks like.

The right time [large print] / by Steel, Danielle,author.(CARDINAL)341853;
Abandoned by her mother at age seven, Alexandra Winslow took solace in the mystery stories she read with her devoted father--and soon she was writing them herself, slowly graduating to dark, violent, complex crime stories that reflected skill and imagination far beyond her years. After her father's early death, at fourteen Alex is taken in by the nuns of a local convent, where she finds twenty-six mothers to take the place of the one she lost, and the time and encouragement to pursue her gift. As she climbs the ladder of publishing success, however, she does so with her father's admonition firmly in mind: men read crime stories by men, only--and so Alexandra Winslow publishes under the pseudonyn Alexander Green, her true identity known only to a few close associates. Moving from Alex's childhood to her forties, through loss and triumph, the inner workings of the publishing world and Hollywood adaptations--with the truth behind the celebrated Alexander Green concealed at all costs.

Paul Schmidt's acclaimed collection brings together his complete poetry, prose, and letters, including "The Drunken Boat," "The Orphans' New Year," "After the Flood," and "A Season in Hell." Complete Works is divided into eight "seasons"-Childhood, the Open Road, War, the Tormented Heart, the Visionary, the Damned Soul, a Few Belated Cowardices, and the Man with the Wind at His Heels-that reflect the facets of Rimbaud's life. Insightful commentary by Schmidt reveals the courage, vision, and imagination of Rimbaud's poetry and sheds light on one of the most enigmatic figures in letters.

To love a stranger / by Mignerey, Sharon,author.(CARDINAL)530994;
"Abbey Wallace has spent the last two years travelling from Virginia in pursuit of her dream to homestead an orchard in California. Orphaned during the Civil War, she was raised by a Methodist woman, and she has been using a connection of churches to find work on each leg of her journey westward. After finding employment with a family near Denver, she is abducted by two men who are certain she is their boss's wife, missing since spring. After a lengthy ride to the ranch, she expects Sloan Rafferty to recognize she is not his wife. Only, he seems convinced she is after he learns she and his wife grew up in the same valley. Sloan promises to send her home after she reveals what she did with the stallion he believes she stole. She, of course, cannot, so she is stuck in this remote, Colorado mountain valley. Her only ally is the daughter of his housekeeper. Others judge her for the sins of his hated wife. Little by little, she unwinds the secrets that intertwine her life with Sloan's wife, each twist putting her in greater peril. Escalating "accidents" make it clear that someone wants her dead. When one of these endangers the child, she loses that connection. After Sloan's brother arrives at the ranch, he reveals the truth of what happened to Sloan's wife. Only, it's too late because Sloan's actions have put her in the most terrible danger ... and he has come to love a stranger"--
