Marcia King-Gamble’s – Designed for You – Now Available!
"Designed for You is a terrific story of contrasts. Fascinating, multilayered characters and stories within the story make King-Gamble's book entertaining."—Romantic Times BOOKclub - February 2006 review
Social worker Jana Davis is thrilled when she learns her time moonlighting as an events planner is finally paying off. She's landed a huge deal to throw a party that will earn her some much-needed extra cash—and allow her to talk to San Diego's mayor about a proposed deal to tear down playgrounds and clubhouses for the underprivileged and turn the space into over-priced condos and boutiques.
It seems like a win-win situation—until she meets the designer for the project in question, handsome Reese McDonald. Jana is outraged when Reese immediately questions her motives, and she tries hard to ignore her attraction. Her vow not to give in to him works just fine until she encourages the residents of the surrounding areas to take action and sparks really fly.

Linda Conrad’s – Shadow Force (the first of The Night Guardians miniseries) – April, 2006!
A dark shadow is creeping across the Southwestern desert reservation home of the Navajo. And the evil has a name – Skinwalker! Good also has a name in the land between the four sacred mountains. The Brotherhood is a band of young medicine men who have vowed to fight the evil ones in a secret war.
Brotherhood half-breed, Kody Long, is an FBI agent by day and works to end evil by night. But when Anglo Reagan Wilson enters his life, he begins to lose control. Could they work together? Did they have a choice?
A night spent in an ancient ruin, a night filled with passion, disturbing thoughts and...snakes, changes everything. Now not only are their lives in jeopardy, but their own desires have spun out of control.
