Matilda, The Adventuress
Publication Date: 8/1/1987


Matilda Delaney, nicknamed Manda, felt the black flame opal calling to her from the abandoned mines on Deadman's Ridge, and ahe knew the missing jewel was the treasure she must find. She was always in search of the great adventure that was her destiny-and when film director Roman Gallagher barely missed her with his Jeep, she knew that lightning had struck! His suspicious nature did nothing to discourage Manda's exultation at meeting the brilliant, cynical man with the devil's temper. Losing himself in her silken hair and the reckless promise of her lips, Roman felt a primitive jealousy of any man who'd. known her before, and swore to make her forget. But his dark, tormented soul refused to accept the love she vowed. Could she persuade him that her siren's song was only for his ears?

The Ugly Duckling
(1996)
A novel by
Iris Johansen

If fate suddenly made you more beautiful than you ever dreamed possible, would it be the beginning of a fairy tale, or your worst nightmare....

The brutal attack should have killed anybody, but Nell Calder did more than survive. She emerged a woman transformed, with an exquisite beauty found only in fairy tales. Nell Calder deserved a happy ending. Instead, her descent into terror has just begun.

Her attacker is still on the hunt, determined to finish what he's started. And Nell, protected by a new face, is just as determined to fight back and take her revenge. But to catch her prey, she will have to expose herself--even if it makes her a killer's prime target.
