TO MEND A MARRIAGE... Casey O'Neill never would have gone looking for her ex-husband, Alex Torres, if she'd seen any other way out of her dilemma. Alex had turned his back on the corporate life--and on her--but now she had to convince him to come back. People's lives depended on it. From the moment Casey reentered his life, Alex was torn. He wanted to help her, but there was something she didn't know, something he couldn't let her know. He was hiding a secret that filled him with shame, a secret that would destroy him in her eyes-a secret she would be bound to discover if he followed his heart and asked her back into his bed.

**Viking II Series #5** Madrene Olgadottir, an 11th-century granddaughter of a once-powerful Norseman, finds herself transported to the 21st century in Hill's playful follow-up to Wet & Wild. Lt. Ian MacLean and his team of navy SEALs are hot on the trail of Jamal ben Hassan and his nest of terrorists in northern Iraq when they come upon Maddie, stinking of camel spit and who knows what else. Believing Maddie to be Jamal's mistress, Ian takes her into custody. Cleaned up, Maddie turns out to be a babe, one that Ian (and his "dangly parts") finds irresistible, so he isn't too put out when he's tricked into marrying her to facilitate the government's cockeyed plan to ferret out terrorists in the U.S. using Maddie as bait. Though one would expect Maddie to be frightened by the high-tech world she's been dropped into, she views this new world simply as an advanced civilization and takes it all in stride. Few authors can fuse erotica and drop-dead humor like Hill.
