Dorothy P. O'Neill Livres

Karla Sanders' ancestral home on the shores of beautiful Echo Mountain Lake could be the perfect setting for romance, but Karla has postponed thoughts of love and marriage. Her beloved father has suffered a stroke and she has left college, just a few weeks short of graduation, in order to dedicate herself to his recovery and the realization of his dream--making their property a resort second to none on the lake. But two men enter her life and complicate things immeasurably--neighboring landowner Jake Carew, seeking to end the long-time feud between his family and Karla's, and Armand Fitzharold, a transitory real estate tycoon. Although Jake's ties to the lake ensure that he will never leave, it's hard for Karla to believe that he has changed. Meanwhile, it is nomadic Armand who threatens Karla's determination to keep her heart on hold.

Why would a son with a good home and a close, loving family choose to join a gang? And why was he murdered? Amateur sleuth Liz Rooney sets out to get answers, and narrowly escapes the gangland's retribution. But she provides her fiancé, NYPD homicide detective, Ike Eichle, with a vital clue, just in time for them to get married and go on their honeymoon with the case solved"--Page 4 of cover.

A killer is prowling New York City's Lexington Avenue subway line during rush hour, stalking young women with red hair, and injecting them with a syringe full of a lethal substance. The subway murder of three redheads within two days throws the city's red-haired women into panic. Amateur sleuth Liz Rooney dyes her naturally strawberry-blonde hair brown and, as usual, sets out to help her fiancé, NYPD Homicide Detective Ike Eichle, solve a baffling crime. Feeling safe without her red hair to give her away, she delves into the list of suspects but eventually finds herself face-to-face with the killer in a situation where her new hair color offers her no protection.
