The wish list / by Major, Michelle,author.(CARDINAL)607845;
For some families, a Christmas reunion is like a feel-good movie. For Beth Carlyle, it might be more of a disaster epic. Her ex-husband's new girlfriend is already pregnant. Her self-absorbed, bestselling author mother recently suffered a stroke and has summoned Beth's sisters, Freya and Trinity--neither of whom even seem to like Beth very much--back to Magnolia. Beth's so lonely and stressed that she spills her guts to a stranger, wondering why the handsome newcomer affects her so deeply. Reality TV star Freya deliberately forged a career that would upset her mother, who's always been as brilliant as the sun... and just as distant. Now a handsome literary agent is making Freya dream of a different life. As for Trinity, she just wants to start over after leaving an abusive relationship and make a future for her and her baby. It'll be a Christmas like no other in Magnolia. But the Carlyle sisters might find they have more in common than their shared past--and that the holidays are made for second chances.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 306-307).Departure -- Impact -- Flight -- Wapiti -- Threshold -- Buried -- Fire - Missing -- Confession -- Search -- Abort -- Criminal -- Ice -- Rescue -- Hero -- Inquest -- Afterlife -- Fate -- Atonement -- Return.On an icy night in October 1984, a Piper Navajo commuter plane carrying nine passengers crashed in the remote wilderness of northern Canada, killing six people. Four survived: the rookie pilot, a prominent politician, and a cop and the criminal he was escorting to face charges. As they fought through the night to stay alive, the dividing lines of power, wealth, and status were erased and each man was forced to confront the precious and limited nature of his existence. The survivors forged unlikely friendships and, through them, found strength and courage to rebuild their lives. INTO THE ABYSS is a powerful narrative that explores how a single, tragic event can upset our assumptions and become a catalyst for transformation.--back cover

Mind game / by Feehan, Christine,author.(CARDINAL)341053;
This sultry and suspenseful follow-up to "Shadow game" focuses on the exploits of GhostWalker Nicolas Trevane, who sets out to rescue Dahlia Le Blanc, a government operative with astonishing telekinetic talents, from her secluded residence in the Louisiana bayou. Nicolas's mission is fraught with danger. Not only is Dahlia emotionally unstable (she can make objects go up in flames when she's particularly upset), she's also been targeted by a traitor who has hired mercenaries to kill her. As Nicolas and Dahlia evade their pursuers and attempt to unmask the traitor, they forge a strong emotional bond. Dahlia fears her psychic powers may rage out of control if she makes love to Nicolas, but their passion culminates in a love scene that, while hot, only involves a handful of harmless flames.

Portugal's discovery of a sea route to India, campaign of imperial conquest over Muslim rulers, and domination of the spice trade would forever disrupt the Mediterranean and build the first global economy. Author Crowley relies on letters and eyewitness testimony to tell the story of tiny Portugal's rapid and breathtaking rise to power. Conquerors reveals the Império Português in all of its splendor and ferocity. Figures such as King Manuel "the Fortunate," João II "the Perfect Prince," marauding governor Afonso de Albuquerque, and explorer Vasco da Gama juggled their private ambitions and the public aims of the empire in pursuit of a global fortune. Also central to the story was Portugal's drive to eradicate Islamic culture and establish a Christian empire in the Indian Ocean. Portuguese explorers pushed deep into the African continent and ruthlessly besieged Indian port cities. The discovery of a route to India around the horn of Africa was not only a brilliant breakthrough in navigation but heralded a complete upset of the world order. For the next century, no European empire was more ambitious, no rulers more rapacious. In the process they created the first long-range maritime empire and set in motion the forces of globalization that now shape our world.--Adapted from book jacket.
