The talk of Coyote Canyon / by Novak, Brenda,author.;
"With her piercings, tattos, and spiky blond hair, Ellen Truesdale doesn't quite fit in with the other folks in Coyote Canyon--and that's just fine with her. She's only here to put her father out of business, as payback for abandoning her when she was young. Or is she more interested in finally proving that she was worth keeping? Either way, she's struggling to keep her rival well-drilling company afloat. And being a single woman in a male-dominated field has started to take a toll. So when Hendrix Durrant steps in to help, Ellen has no choice but to let him--even though he happens to be her father's business partner and therefore her enemy"--

The unkept woman / by Montclair, Allison,author.;
"Allison Montclair returns with The Unkept Woman, the fourth Sparks & Bainbridge mystery: London, 1946, Miss Iris Sparks - currently co-proprietor of the Right Sort Marriage Bureau - has to deal with aspects of her past exploits during the recent war that have come back around to haunt her. The Right Sort Marriage Bureau was founded in 1946 by two disparate individuals - Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge (whose husband was killed in the recent World War) and Miss Iris Sparks who worked as an intelligence agent during the recent conflict, though this is not discussed. While the agency flourishes in the post-war climate, both founders have to deal with some of the fallout that conflict created in their personal lives. Miss Sparks finds herself followed, then approached, by a young woman who has a very personal connection to a former paramour of Sparks. But something is amiss and it seems that Iris's past may well cause something far more deadly than mere disruption in her personal life. Meanwhile, Gwendolyn is struggling to regain full legal control of her life, her finances, and her son - a legal path strewn with traps and pitfalls. Together these indomitable two are determined and capable and not just of making the perfect marriage match"--

Murder at the White Palace / by Montclair, Allison,author.;
"In post-WWII London, the matchmakers of The Right Sort Marriage Bureau are involved in yet another murder. In the immediate post-war days of London, two unlikely partners have undertaken an even more unlikely, if necessary, business venture -- The Right Sort Marriage Bureau. The two partners are Miss Iris Sparks, a woman with a dangerous -- and never discussed -- past in British intelligence and Mrs. Gwendolyn Bainbridge, a genteel war widow with a young son entangled in a complicated aristocratic family. Looking to throw a New Year's Eve soiree for their clients, Sparks and Bainbridge scout an empty building -- only to find a body contained in the walls. What they initially assume is a victim of the recent Blitz is uncovered instead to be a murder victim -- stabbed several times. To make matters worse, the owner of the building is Sparks' beau, Archie Spelling, who has ties to a variety of enterprises on the right and wrong sides of the law, and the main investigator for the police is her ex-fiancée. Gwen, too, is dealing with her own complicated love life, as she tentatively steps back into the dating pool for the first time since her husband's death. Murder is not something they want to add to their plates, but the murderer may be closer to home than is comfortable, and they must do all they can to protect their clients, their business and themselves"--
