April's Featured Books Are:

THE BEST DAY OF SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE

The affliction hit Kevin (Vi) Connelly when she was just 6. The thrill, the attention, the big white dress -- it's the Best Day of Your Life, and it's seriously addictive. Unless, of course, it's always The Best Day of Someone Else's Life. Vi finds herself in those scratchy, oddly-colored, and bow-adorned "you can wear it again!" bridesmaid dresses time and time again as all her friends march up the aisle. Vi is honored to perform her bridesmaid duties, but watching everyone else's Best Day begins to make her wonder about her own choices.
Vi is by no means lonely or unhappy -- she has a fulfilling career as a wine buyer, wonderful friends, she's had perfectly acceptable relationships, and even when they go wrong, at least she has a good story to tell her friends on Sunday nights at the corner bar. Even though she's given a lot of thought to her perfect future wedding (perhaps with on-again-off-again love of her life Caleb) overall she's content. But eleven weddings in 18 months would put any sane woman over the edge, and besides shelling out a small fortune on bridesmaid dresses and gifts, Vi is forced to take a close look a her life and where it's going.

DEPARTMENT OF LOST & FOUND

It didn't start out as the worst day of Natalie Miller's life...

As the top aide to New York's powerful woman senator, Natalie's moving rapidly up the political ladder. She works hard, stays late, and enjoys every bit of it. Then her neglected boyfriend announces he's leaving. But that's only the beginning. Her doctor tells her she has breast cancer—and raw ambition and ruthless determination alone are not going to cure it. Suddenly the life Natalie needs to change is her own.

The time has come for her to take a tough look at the choices she's made. She'll start by tracking down the five loves of her life in order to assess what went wrong. And by revisiting her past, Natalie just might discover exciting new paths to unexplored places—and learn how to stop barreling through life long enough to really embrace it.

SOMETHING RECKLESS

Prim, headstrong, and beautiful Penelope is determined to expose the licentious affairs of the ton's randiest rakes. Now one of their powerful number—the unrepentant libertine Jeremy Vaughn, Duke of Kilgrath—has been selected to put an end to the prudish lady's interference. Jeremy's plan is devilishly clever: He will join Penelope's war against immorality, fighting passionately by her side, all the while showering her with anonymous erotic missives designed to titillate even the coldest, most unwilling maid. He will break down her defenses and inflame her repressed desires by escorting her (in the interests of their "noble campaign") to London's most notorious pleasure palaces. And he will visit her boudoir—masked—during the night to school her in the deliciously sinful arts she wishes to abolish. Then he will expose her hypocrisy to the world.

But the handsome rogue's scheme is doomed to go awry, even as the lovely Penelope sheds her every inhibition and freely gives in to his every whim. For in this sensuous game of hearts, it's the seducer who becomes seduced . . .
