Moonshine Murder
By Erin Gray
It’s 1925.
The small cabin deep in the San Juan Mountains is the only home
seventeen-year-old Lenora Giovanni has ever known. But when her father dies
from tainted moonshine, leaving her alone, she is forced into a life of danger.
Lenora is determined to find whoever sold the poison to her
father--a determination that leads her into working as an undercover agent in
the town of Durango, Colorado. She meets Rusty, a young moonshiner who guides
her through the world of bootlegging.
As Lenora gets to know this intriguing young man, three
things become clear: Her father was entangled in a scheme of deception. Rusty
is keeping secrets--secrets about her past. And she is falling irrationally and
unconditionally in love with him.
Faced with betrayal, Lenora is tempted to protect Rusty and
preserve her father’s memory, rather than bust the illegal moonshine business
that destroyed her family. How will she choose: with her head or her heart?

The Sandoval Sisters'
Secret of Old Blood
By Sandra Ramos O'Briant
No Statue of Liberty ever greeted our arrival in this
country...we did not,
in fact, come to
the United States at all. The United States came to us.”
Luis Valdez
When Alma flees with her
young lover to Texas to escape an arranged marriage with a much older man, she
sets in motion a drama that will put the sisters and their legacy at risk.
Pilar, a 14-year-old tomboy, is offered as a replacement bride, and what
follows is a sensuous courtship and marriage clouded by the curses of her
husband’s former lover, Consuelo. She will stop at nothing, even the use of
black magic, in her effort to destroy the Sandoval family. The Mexican-American
war begins and the Americans invade Santa Fe. The sisters survive the
hostilities from two important fronts-New Mexico and Texas. Their money and
ancient knowledge offer some protection, but their lives are changed forever.
"This
story of love, mysticism and betrayal tests the ultimate boundaries of
sisterhood. I loved this brave, lushly written tale of life in old Santa
Fe." Jill Smolinski, author of Objects of My Affection and The
Next Thing on My List.
