Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Studying ancient Norse mythology is supposed to be hard, but no one warned Caroline it would be life or death. Caroline Capello's carefully planned life turns upside-down when Loki, the enigmatic and irresistibly sexy Norse god, appears in her apartment, cuts her clothes off, and rocks her studious world all night long. The next morning, she's convinced she imagined it all, a result of working too hard and getting too little sleep--until she sees her clothes on the floor, cut down the middle. As Loki's unpredictable visits grow more intense and Caroline is pulled into a dangerous world of gods and magic, she turns to the ancient myths she studies for guidance. But is Loki as cruel and capricious as the stories suggest? Will he start Ragnarok, the apocalyptic final battle destined to destroy the gods and end the Nine Realms? And does she dare trust him with her heart? When Loki's appearances stop and Caroline's other-worldly dreams hint at a dark future, concern for her lover leads her to Val-Hall, the ancient home of Ooinn's army, where she must put everything she has learned to the test. If she fails, there's far more than Loki's life at stake. The end of the world is on the horizon, and only a graduate student with a crush on a god can prevent it.…

Condition: Good. Murder upstages a Kelling family theatrical production--and Boston's art sleuths are on the case. The screwball mystery is Charlotte MacLeod's cup of tea (Chicago Tribune). Producing a Gilbert & Sullivan opera requires a special kind of madness, and the Kelling family is large enough and peculiar enough to undertake an entire company by themselves. For years now, Sarah Kelling's Aunt Emma has supervised these annual productions--from The Pirates of Penzance to The Mikado--and this year she has invited her cast of relatives to rehearse The Sorcerer in her stately mansion. The show is nearly ready when a team of burglars drugs the cast and crew to make off with a priceless portrait. Theft or no theft, Aunt Emma insists the show must go on. Even when one of the cast dies suddenly, she finds a replacement and continues rehearsal. But when Sarah begins to suspect the actor was murdered, it becomes clear that dear Aunt Emma may be in danger of taking her final bow.…

After rescuing a young maiden from faeries only for her to mysteriously disappear without a trace, Sir Archambeau happens upon a ruined manor in the woods. There, he encounters an old, blind woman who shows him four possible visions of his future, each one ending in his death. Determined to live, he leaves the manor to challenge fate.

Condition: Good. A museum robbery leaves a guard dead, and two Boston sleuths investigate: If this is your first meeting with Sarah Kelling, oh how I envy you (Margaret Maron). It's only been a few months since Sarah Kelling's elderly husband passed away, and she's struggling to adapt to life as a penniless young widow. To make ends meet, she converts her stately Boston home into a boardinghouse, a decision that brings something even better than money: the company of art-fraud investigator Max Bittersohn. The budding couple is standing on a balcony, recovering from a second-rate concert at a third-rate museum, when something plummets past them. The museum has been robbed, and a guard has fallen to his death. Dozens of priceless paintings have been stolen and replaced with forgeries, and recovering these masterworks will mean tearing the lid off the quiet life of the Boston upper crust. But it's a chance Sarah and Max must take, lest they join the guard on his long trip down.…
