Now he is trapped in a foreign land with a hard drive containing information that puts his life in jeopardy.

Paige is immediately intrigued with a local artist's one-of-a-kind jewelry designs, as well as weekly gatherings to hear legends from an elderly storyteller. But when identical jewelry shows up on another guest and the storyteller goes missing, Paige's R&R is soon redefined as restlessness and risk. Curious and persistent by nature, Paige is convinced there's a connection. Enlisting the help of a flirtatious resort worker seems like a good idea until it begins to test her loyalty to her favorite cowboy, Jake Norris. Will an unexpected overnight trip to Tierra Roja Casino lead her to the answers she seeks, or are darker secrets lurking along the way?

President Lincoln is saved from assassination. Though he prophesied his own death — the only way he believed the South would truly surrender — Lincoln never accounted for the heroics of his bodyguard, Joseph Foster. A biracial mix of white and Miami Indian, Joseph makes an enemy of the South by killing John Wilkes Booth and preventing the death of the president. His wife is murdered and his daughter kidnapped, sending Joseph on a revenge-fueled rampage to recover his daughter. When his search fails, he disappears as the nation falls into a simmering insurgency instead of an end to the War.

Years later, Joseph is still running from his past when he receives a letter from Lincoln pleading for help. The President has a secret mission. Pursued from the outset, Joseph turns to the only person who might help, the woman he abandoned years earlier. If he can win Molly over, he might just fulfill the President's urgent request, find his daughter, and maybe even hasten the end of the War.

As Rick starts to pull apart the old house, he makes an electrifying discovery — millions of dollars hidden in the walls. It's enough money to completely transform Rick's life — and everything he thought he knew about his father. Yet the more of his father's hidden past that Rick brings to light, the more dangerous his present becomes. Soon, he finds himself on the run from deadly enemies desperate to keep the past buried, and only solving the mystery of his father — a man who has been unable to communicate, comprehend, or care for himself for almost 20 years — will save Rick … if he can survive long enough to do it.

An American traitor is on the run, before the CIA or the Czechs he was spying for can ask their questions. The CIA think ex-employee Tom Talley is going to be the key to the answers they need — if they can lure him into the job.

To lure Talley, they lie to him. A simple mission in Austria, the CIA says. Just a check on someone involved in an old case of his. No danger. He can even bring his girlfriend Jane along, have a vacation at CIA expense. Talley has no way of knowing that the Czechs will do almost anything to get their hands on him. They know Talley's going to be the key to the answers they need.

All Talley knows is that someone's after him — and they're not going to let Jane go, either. He has only one chance — to find Talley's truth.
