Fiction
  • Tall, Dark, and Bad (Loveswept #815) (1996)

  • And After That, the Dark (1997) -- 1998 Maggie Winner
    Fifteen years after witnessing a terrible murder, Emily Wilkop pledged a vow of silence. Years later she is still haunted by the memory. Now 30 and responsible for her late sister's emotionally troubled daughter, Emily finds the fear of that night rushing back at her. Someone is after her and no one will listen, not even the former Chicago cop who recently moved to town. Her phobia about the dark begins to haunt her as she suspects that her long-hidden secret has emerged once again to destroy her life.

  • Valley of the Shadow (1998) -- 1999 Maggie Finalist
    Crime reporter Meg Gentry returns to her hometown where she lands a job at the local paper. But the town's tranquillity is shattered by the suicide of Meg's predecessor and the unearthed skeleton of an unidentified woman who, as the evidence indicates, was murdered.

  • Just Married ... Again (1998)
    On a night of snow and fire, he found a second chance to prove his love. . . .
    Overwork hadn't driven away the pain of his wife's leaving him, so when his doctor prescribed a weekend alone in his mountain cabin, Michael Kelly agreed. Arriving in a blizzard to find Maddy there, too, he expected a confrontation--but what he got was a poker to the head . . . followed by amnesia! Maddy expected one man and found another, but could this tender, passionate stranger erase the memories of a marriage gone wrong?

    Weaving delight out of disaster and unforgettable romance from temptation and trouble, Charlotte Hughes once again captures every reader's heart! Marriage had made them angry strangers, driven two kindred spirits down different roads, but could a bump on the head and a blow to the heart help him win back the only woman he'd ever loved?

  • Night Kills (1998) -- 1999 Maggie Winner
    In a small town, everybody knows everybody...

    The local good-time girl has just been brutally murdered, shattering the tranquillity of Lee Cates's sleepy Southern hometown. Everyone in Comfrey is relieved when an outsider who'd spent that fatal night with the victim is arrested--until it begins to look like maybe he's not guilty.

    Rashly probing into the murder, the blindly loyal Lee learns that not everybody loved the fast-living woman--though too many men had. Then one night Lee's business is vandalized, and more mysterious events ensue. And Lee realizes--maybe too late--that in a community this small, one sister's secrets may lead to the other's death...

  • The Last Southern Belle (Loveswept #919) (1999)
    He hired himself a runaway bride, then just had to help heal her heart....

    Through the window of his Dixieland Grill, Sam Ballard got an eyeful of the blonde in a bridal gown and wondered what wrong turn she'd taken to end up in a broken-down limo in Pinckney, Georgia! Annie Bridges didn't know what she wanted out of life, but it sure wasn't a wedding to a man she barely knew. Could a spitfire with smarts find a happy ending with a small-town hunk who made her laugh and loved her all night long?

    Sweet and sassy, Charlotte's Hughes's tale of a lady on the lam and a country lawyer in love sparkles with spicy humor and sizzles with sultry heat. He'd figured her for a spoiled society brat, who'd turn out to be nothing but trouble, but when she proved a whiz at work and a pleasure at play, could he charm her into giving marriage one more chance?

  • A New Attitude (2001, 2006)
    Marilee Abernathy's life is a mess. Everyone in Chickpea, South Carolina, knows about her husband's affair with the town floozy. But when her dignified farewell -- complete with pearls and impeccably applied Mary Kay cosmetics -- turns into a spectacularly unsuccessful attempt to hang herself from a fake ceiling beam, Marilee figures there has to be another way to cope.

    Marilee needs a new attitude -- at least, that's what her neighbor Sam Brewer thinks. Between his demanding mother and his crazy ex-wife, though, the last thing he wants is another woman whose life is out of control. But Marilee's learning on her own that a little attitude can go a long way -- suddenly she's taking charge and taking chances she'd never imagined. And watching her blossom reminds Sam of some long-forgotten dreams of his own. Now he's just got to convince her to turn some of that attitude his way .

  • Hot Shot (2002)
    Detective Franke Daniels hates her life -- well, what's left of it. After a romance with the wrong man goes bad, the tough Atlanta police detective finds herself "transferred" to Nowhere, U.S.A., Purdyville, South Carolina, is tantamount to a sentence of death by boredom for the street-smart chain-smoking cop. The crime rate here is beyond low . . . Almost as low as Frankie's self esteem.

    When Frankie arrives to find her rental home in flames, she proceeds to chew out one of the locals -- only to realize she's just told off her new boss, the annoyingly gorgeous and smug Sheriff Matt Webber. But Matt is more intrigued than angry at his new deputy. He suspects life in Purdyville is going to get very interesting indeed, especially after he watches her take down the local tough guy in two seconds flat. Even the crime rate seems to have risen to the occasion. But underneath that tough-cookie exterior: Matt's pretty sure Frankie's got a soft spot . . . he just hopes it's for him.

  • Millionaire Cop & Mom-To-Be (Silhouette Desire #1456) (2002)

Full Series with Janet Evanovich
"Back in the 80s Janet broke into the world of fiction with a small category romance written under the name Steffie Hall. It was called Hero at Large. She went on to write 11 more category romances, two as Steffie Hall and nine as Janet Evanovich. All around 180 pages and all with a limited print run of one month. In September of 2002, with help from friend and author Charlotte Hughes, the first of Janet's pre-Plum romance novels was re-released in an updated and expanded form. Full House, written under the name Steffie Hall, was originally published in July 1989 for Second Chance at Love. Now not only can you catch a peek of vintage Janet, but Janet and Charlotte have teamed up to continue with the Full House characters in a new and original romantic, adventure series. It's a series for those of you with gentle hearts, adventurous spirits and a slightly warped sense of humor." -- Janet' Evanovich's website

Wrapped up in a murder plot, Annie must find the killer, save her own neck, and get back to where she was-- wrapped up in Wes's strong loving arms...
