  2. Melanie Dobson _ Hidden Among the Stars

    My world of books confronts the realities of life, but the endings-at least the ones I prefer-clean up the mess at the end. Everything is resolved when I close the cover, but the ugly realities of this world-what man does to man-bleeds right off the page.

  5. Melanie Dobson _ Refuge on Crescent Hill

  7. Melanie Dobson _ Chateau of Secrets

    With a quick thank-you, I focused my attention on the pastry he brought. The flavors melted in my mouth- warm chocolate and melted butter and the flaky sweet crust. This was what I loved about France. A keen appreciation for the simplicity and sweetness of life. The French seemed to savor their minutes along with their food.

    He cleared our bowls and replaced my soup with a plate of creamy chicken with baby potatoes, carrots, and leeks. In front of Riley, he set fillets of red snapper, the fish ornamented with sprigs of rosemary and wedges of lemon.

    Are you a fan of escargot?" he asked."Not particularly.""Good." His smile eased onto his lips again. "I get concerned when people eat snails."I glanced down the menu. "What about chicken?""I'm not as concerned.""Then I'm going to order the poulet a la fermiere.""What is that?"I glanced back down at the menu. "It's chicken with cream sauce.

  10. Melanie Dobson _ Where the Trail Ends: The

    I asked her to marry me," Huey continued, staring at Alex. "But she said her heart belonged to someone else." The man's words emboldened him, calming his fury. Perhaps she had run for the same reason he'd decided to stay. Perhaps she did love him as much as he loved her. His heart raced. "What did they take with them?"

    Alex stepped forward. "Who is gone?" Both men turned, and Huey's eyes filled with surprise. And then fear. "Who is gone?" he repeated. Huey cleared his throat. "Samantha and the boy." Alex clutched his fists. "Where did they go?" "Across the river." Alex grabbed the man's collar, pushing him up against the wall. "What do you mean, they went across the river?"
