Book Description
William and Melissa Smith have three gorgeous children, William, aged 7, Andrew, aged 4, and a new little girl that they named Carole Anna. Francine and James Robins are a young couple trying to start a family but when their baby is stillborn, they are crushed. Meanwhile, Melissa Smith gave birth to Carole Anna at the same time. Francine begins to suspect that she had been lied to and senses a conspiracy in which her baby was swapped out with the Smith baby and that the Smith baby was the one that was stillborn. She eventually convinces her husband, James of this and they hatch a plot to kidnap Carole Anna and claim her as their own. When they successfully make off with Carole Anna it is up to local law enforcement and the FBI to track the kidnappers down, but when that fails, William, a detective with the NYPD, along with his partner, Timothy Porter, takes matters into his own hands.

Book Description
One would think that at least the youngest humans would be spared from the deeds of the people with twisted minds, but even they are not safe just like that. In this book, learn about the various cases where children were criminally taken away from their parents. It has happened all over the world. A stranger appears at the bedside of a mother who has just given birth and plays upon the trust of the parents to trick them into handing over their child. Perhaps the person is dressed as a doctor, nurse, lab technician, or some other member of the medical staff, but whatever the case may be, their performance as an imposter is sufficient to spin a web of deception convincing enough to spring their trap. Other abductors eschew deception in favor of force or stealth. Some have pulled a gun on the mother and demanded their child; some have simply snatched up the infant when no one was looking. More often than not the perpetrators of these crimes are women, although some claim that their demanding boyfriends or husbands put them up to it. Typically these women are either unable to have children of their own or have great difficulty in doing so. Some of them are depressed over recent miscarriages and wish to replace the baby they lost. Of course, this begs the question of why they don't simply use the proper channels to adopt a child who needs a home, rather than stealing babies that don't belong to them. One answer is that many of them are unable to do so due to a criminal record, history of mental illness, or general instability. Anyone in any of those categories would most likely be denied conventional adoption. But as you will see from the cases in this book, even though the methodology is often similar, the reasons are legion when it comes to what motivates the hand that robs the cradle.

Book Description
Steeped in history and filled with heart-wrenching twists, The Stolen Marriage is an emotionally captivating novel of secrets, betrayals, prejudice, and forgiveness. It showcases Diane Chamberlain at the top of her talent. One mistake, one fateful night, and Tess DeMello’s life is changed forever. It is 1944. Pregnant, alone, and riddled with guilt, twenty-three-year-old Tess DeMello abruptly gives up her budding career as a nurse and ends her engagement to the love of her life, unable to live a lie. Instead, she turns to the baby’s father for help and agrees to marry him, moving to the small, rural town of Hickory, North Carolina. Tess’s new husband, Henry Kraft, is a secretive man who often stays out all night, hides money from his new wife, and shows her no affection. Tess quickly realizes she’s trapped in a strange and loveless marriage with no way out. The people of Hickory love and respect Henry but see Tess as an outsider, treating her with suspicion and disdain. When one of the town’s golden girls dies in a terrible accident, everyone holds Tess responsible. But Henry keeps his secrets even closer now, though it seems that everyone knows something about him that Tess does not. When a sudden polio epidemic strikes Hickory, the townspeople band together to build a polio hospital. Tess knows she is needed and defies Henry’s wishes to begin working at there. Through this work, she begins to find purpose and meaning. Yet at home, Henry’s actions grow more alarming by the day. As Tess works to save the lives of her patients, can she untangle the truth behind her husband’s mysterious behavior and find the love—and the life—she was meant to have?

Getting into bed with the wrong guy can get you killed Wanting to free herself from her boyfriend, aging gangster “Maddog” Palmieri, Bobbi Ricci concocts a misguided plan with Denny, Maddog’s ex-driver, a guy who’s bent on getting even with the gangster for the humiliating way in which he was sacked. Helping themselves to the gangster’s secret money stash, along with his Cadillac, Bobbi and Denny slip out of town, expecting to lay low for a while before enjoying the spoils. Realizing he’s been betrayed, an enraged Maddog calls in stone-cold killer Lee Trane. As Trane picks up their trail, plans quickly change for Bobbi and Denny, who now find themselves on a wild chase of misadventure through northern British Columbia and into Alaska. Time is running out for them once they find out that Trane’s been sent to do away with them, or worse, bring them back — either way, Maddog will make them pay.
