Book 2 in the Corine Solomn Series
I’m still a redhead. Before we left Texas,
I touched up the roots with Garnier
Nutrisse 64-R, and then I had some
tawny apricot highlights put in. I guessed
that meant I intended to keep this color
for a while. Symbolic—I’d made a
commitment, at least to my hair.
As a handler, Corine Solomon can touch any object and know its history. It’s too bad she can’t seem to forget her own. With her ex-boyfriend Chance in tow—lending his particularly supernatural brand of luck—Corine journeys back home to Kilmer, Georgia, in order to discover the truth behind her mother’s death and the origins of her “gift.”
But while trying to uncover the secrets in her past, Corine and Chance find that something is rotten in the state of Georgia. Just a few miles away, no one seems to know Kilmer exists. And inside the town borders there are signs of a dark curse affecting the town and all its residents—and it can only be satisfied with death…

Accompanying the ghosts with which she alone could converse, new and terrifying omens loomed. A war was coming, a desperate ploy of a spectral host. Victorian London would be overrun.

Book 2 in the Skin Series
Uncovering the truth is her specialty
As a forensic accountant, Mia Sauter could usually tell when people had something to hide. She made her living exposing secrets while concealing her own. Then, in Vegas, she met a clever, ruthless man who called himself Addison Foster. One year later, she’s still haunted by his betrayal.
He’s a natural born liar
The truth of him had long ago been buried. Foster was only one name of many; he’d been so many men, he’d lost count. Reinvented as Thomas Strong and hell-bent on revenge, his mission is about to be compromised by the one woman capable of exposing him…
Reunited, they confront the explosive chemistry still crackling between them. But their chance meeting will have consequences, for a ruthless madman has his own deadly agenda. The question is—if they survive the fallout, will he choose love over vengeance?
Who thinks Foster is yummy? Raise your hand?
Some of you might be wondering did KC forget Karen Marie Moning’s Shadowfever…? Hells no! I’ve been stalking Amazon, KMM forums, etc to find the latest release date. Unfortunately, Amazon removed the December 2010 release, so ya all light a candle, rub your lucky rabbit’s foot – do what you gotta do to get this book released in 2010!
What’s on your 2010 book list?

There are some great covers listed in your post. Make sure you nominate them in the 2010 cover contest at the Cover Cafe website. Nominations for 2010 releases will be open on January 16th, 2010.
ME wants these books! I made a list of releases in 2010 that I can’t live without and discovered that I am already behind the schedule. I missed the release day of Death’s Mistress by Karen Chance. Don’t know how that could happen. Have to hurry! Now I remember, it was the money. Credit card hates me!
I’ve got seven books from your list on my TBB list, sometimes I feel like I can keep a small country fed with my book-buying-habits
You know I love the cover candy, with Skin Tight I only have to look at that back and go a bit berserk, Lover Mine brings out my inner cougar rowr and Pleasure Of A Dark Prince has got in me in a puddle of wanton flesh from the moment I saw it for the first time 
Whenever I come face-to-face with that Jeaniene Frost cover, I get all flustered and blushy and schoolgirly and OMG–ok, will stop now before I get TMI.
