"WOMEN IN HATS" by Judy Sheehan FICTION ISBN: 9780345480088
![]() |
A successful theater director in New York, Leigh Majors has worked hard to become more than just "the daughter of the famous Bridie Hart." But Leigh's orderly world is turned upside down when she receives a very special birthday gift form her husband: a Broadway-ready play entitled Women in Hats... and her overbearing mother demands to play the starring role.
Bridie ruled the red carpet during the golden age of Hollywood, but off-camera, she loved the highball (and her own way) a little too much. Now, as Bridie tries to reinsert herself into Leigh's life, the estranged pair must work together amid the crazy cast of characters to create what could be Broadway's next major hit, even as they unearth painful memories from their troubled past. But before the curtain rises, Leigh will discover that the biggest drama of all just may be her own life.

"DON'T HEX WITH TEXAS" by Shanna Swendson PARANORMAL ISBN: 9780345492937
![]() |
Katie Chandler has fled fast-paced Manhattan and returned home to a simpler life, working at her family’s feed-and-seed store in Cobb, Texas. Leaving the sexy wizard Owen Palmer to battle his demons in the magical realm may have been a selfless gesture—after all, Katie seemed to attract evil, which only made Owen's job a lot harder—but now it seems like trouble has followed her home. And despite the fact that Merlin, Katie’s old boss at Magic, Spells, and Illusions, Inc., has assured her that Cobb is free of enchantment, magically speaking, Katie begins to notice curious phenomena.
Soon Cobb is being plagued by a series of unexplainable petty crimes and other devilish mischief, and after her experiences in Manhattan, Katie knows "unauthorized magic" when she sees it. As this new dark magic strikes deep in the heart of Texas, Owen appears (literally) to investigate. Now Katie’s friends and family must show the bad guys why it’s bad luck to hex with Texas, while Katie and Owen combine their strengths like never before to uncover a sinister plot before evil takes root in the lone star state.
