"She's just gone?" I asked. I sat down on the soft, leather, couch next to Andy.
"Another one?"
He nodded, as he wrapped his arms tightly around me. "They're just vanishing, Sweetheart, no signs of anything. Nothing left behind,
until the pictures."
I laid my head on his shoulder, and squeezed his hand in mine. All I wanted to do all day was sit together in the quiet of our lakeside
cottage after a few too many long days.
The one he would happily tell me about how he remodeled it from a decrepit wreck, to his bachelor pad. Then how it turned into our love
nest, where we had been living in sin for so long now. With its comfy leather furniture, big windows, worn oriental floors over the
carefully refinished oak floors that Andy painstakingly did himself all those years ago. "I'm sorry . . . There isn't a chance that they
are runaways?"
He shook his head, and dropped a kiss on my head. I don't want to move, he thought, or think about this. I just want to sit here with
her, listening to the rain on the lake. Possibly take her on this couch. "Too many, too soon, Kelley. Listen to me. I want you to be
careful, and don't look at me like that. You're about their age, and I . . . I don't want anything happening to you."
"Nothing is going to happen to me," I promised, stroking his cheek. "You don't have to worry so much."
"Famous last words," he sighed, trailing his fingers through my hair, Harold our golden retriever jumped up on the couch with us. "I mean
it, Kel. I want to teach you to use my gun."
"You know how I feel about guns," I groaned, pulling back to look at him. Giving Harold a scratch behind the ears, I fought the urge to
shake him. "Andy, I'll be fine. I'm tougher then I look."
"You might feel differently if this guy comes after you."
"I can defend myself, and I don't need a gun to do it. Will you stop playing overprotective cop with me?"
"Hey. We're getting married in a month, of course I'm going to worry about you," Andy replied, kissing the top of my head.
Stubborn, he thought, and not that naïve.
"There is someone out there taking young women, and . . . I'm not sure what they're doing to them. Those pictures . . ."
"Do you think that they're dead?" I asked softly, rubbing his thigh and noting the dark circles under his eyes. "You'll find who is
doing this, Andy. You're too good a cop not to."
"How do you always know the right thing to say?" he asked, tilting my face up to his and giving me a tired smile. "I love you,
Kelley."
"Hmm," I murmured, as he kissed me and lowered me down on the couch.
"Dammit," Andy muttered, as he stared down at the photographs on his desk a few days later.
"How? This isn't even possible."
"Sheriff?"
"John," he said, nodding toward his 25 year old deputy. "What do you have for me?" ...

Kurzbeschreibung
AMANDA'S BLUE MARINE marks the return of Doreen Owens Malek to publishing after a 12 year absence. In late 2011 Doreen paved the way by
introducing selected works from her 40 plus backlist of titles. By January 2012 readers had downloaded over 50,000 copies of her books.
It is with great pleasure that Doreen presents her new, never before published contemporary romance AMANDA'S BLUE MARINE.
SYNOPSIS
When Amanda Redfield, an assistant district attorney from a wealthy and prominent Philadelphia family, is being harassed by a mysterious
stalker, she meets Brendan Kelly, the police detective assigned to her case. Smart and capable but deeply troubled, Kelly protects Amanda
while he works to find her tormentor, but his disturbing presence and rogue behavior disrupt Amanda's settled life. She is helplessly
drawn to the sexy and charming but barely controlled cop, and as their passion grows she must choose between her prosperous and settled
past and an uncertain future with a man whose own life is spiraling out of control. How she draws on her wits and resources to eventually
rescue Kelly emotionally in the same way that he rescues her physically makes for a powerful and satisfying love story.
REVIEW
ARC Review of Amanda?s Blue Marine by Doreen Owens Malek
Rating: Entrée
Even though Amanda Redfield had come from a privileged background, her life wasn?t all about designer shoes and charity luncheons. Amanda
was a well respected attorney with the Philadelphia District Attorney?s office. She also had a stalker who was sending her nasty notes of
the incredibly scary and threatening variety. Rookie Detective Brendan Kelly was about as far from Amanda?s social circles as a person
could get and still remain on the planet. An ex-Marine who had put in some hard time in the Iraqi war and the son of an alcoholic cop who
had been kicked off the force, Kelly was a hard drinking, womanizing, time bomb. As the case, circumstances, and chemistry draw the pair
closer together, the inevitable happens and feelings develop. But there are huge hurdles to clear before this couple can have even the
slightest chance at happiness.
I was absolutely over the moon when I found out one of my favorite authors was returning to the publishing world after a decade of
silence. And when I was offered the opportunity to review her newest work, well if that didn't butter my biscuit, nothing would. Doreen
Owens Malek writes about people who have real issues and real flaws. There are no cookie cutter characters or otherwordly scenarios to
move the story along. She relies on her natural talent to give the reader a entertaining, compelling story that will pull them into her
books by their heartstrings. I also love the fact that her books use a realistic time frame. This book takes place over years, and you
can see the evolution of the characters. When I first encountered Amanda, I'll be honest, I wasn't her biggest fan. She was sheltered,
and even though she was in a tough profession, she lacked the independence I like in my heroines. By the end of this book, I was her
biggest fan. When she decided to take control of her life and her future, she did it with a vengeance.
Now, it's no secret that I am a huge fan of the bad boy, damaged hero. But realistically they come with a lot of baggage that is not
going to disappear overnight. And while I believe love can conquer most problems, I still think it requires a proactive approach and a
lot of work to keep it going. Ms. Malek takes the reader through these stages. She knows that it is highly unlikely that the bad habits
of a lifetime are just going to magically fade away without some big bumps in the road and a few hurt feelings. Her villains likewise
have both good and bad, some more than others. So it's not always easy to come down quite so hard on the bad guys. It's all in the
intent. Amanda's mother and her BFF had varying shades of grey. This offering is as top of the line as it gets. Welcome back, Doreen.

Kurzbeschreibung
Romantic suspense with paranormal elements
Eliot Kane fears he's a modern day Jekyll and Hyde.
Eliot dreams in graphic detail about choking a woman. The next day, he learns that woman is the victim of a brutal murder. From his dream
Eliot knows details about that murder that haven't been released to the public, details only the killer can know. He seeks the help of
psychiatrist Leanne Warner to learn if he's a murderer, if he has a personality split and a monster named Edward lives inside his brain.
Eliot doesn't dare love Leanne because Edward wants to kill her.
Leanne looks out her bedroom window in the middle of the night and sees Eliot Kane leaning against a tree, watching her. He straightens
when he sees her, stands erect and returns her gaze. In the pale glow from the corner street lamp, his eyes seem to blaze. She can almost
feel the hatred coming from him. Evil surrounds him like an aura. It's there in his stance, in the tilt of his head, in the very air
around him, and it's directed toward her.
But that's crazy. Eliot doesn't hate her. Is she looking at Edward?

America, her path to a new beginning is quickly challenged by Eastern University's Walking One-Night Stand.
Travis Maddox, lean, cut, and covered in tattoos, is exactly what Abby needs--and wants--to avoid. He spends his nights winning money in

his daily life with a simple bet. If he loses, he must remain abstinent for a month. If Abby loses, she must live in Travis' apartment
for the same amount of time. Either way, Travis has no idea that he has met his match.
