Summary: "The deaths of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine by no means spelled the end of the Empire. In the aftermath, the New Republic has faced a constant struggle to survive. Now a new threat looms: a masterpiece of Alderaanian art--lost after the planet's destruction--has resurfaced on the black market. It conceals a vital secret--the code used to communicate with New Republic agents undercover within the Empire. Discovery by Imperial forces would mean disaster. The only option is recovery--and Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO have been dispatched to Tatooine to infiltrate the auction. When a dispute at the auction erupts into violence, the painting vanishes in the chaos. Han and Leia are thrust into a desperate race to reclaim it. As they battle against marauding TIE fighters, encroaching stormtroopers, and Tatooine's savage Tusken Raiders, Leia's emotional struggle over the specter of her famous father culminates in the discovery of an extraordinary link to the past. As long-buried secrets at last emerge, she faces a moment of reckoning that will forever alter her destiny...and that of the New Republic"--Back cover.

Summary: "This is Jane. A little subdued. A little stubborn. A little tired of going out on blind dates with men who drive van with sofas in the back, Jane Alcott is living the Single Girl existence in the big city. She is also leading a double life. By day, she's a reporter covering the raucous Seattle Chinooks hockey team--especially their notorious goalie Luc Martineau. By night, she's a writer, secretly creating the scandalous adventures of 'Honey Pie'...the magazine series that has all the men talking. Luc has made his feelings about parasite reporters--and Jane--perfectly clear. But if he thinks he's going to make her life miserable, he'd better think again. For as long as he can remember, Luc has been single-minded about his career. The last thing he needs is a smart-mouthed, pain-in-the-backside reporter digging into his past and getting in his way. But once the little reporter sheds her black and gray clothes in favor of a sexy red dress, Luc sees that there is more to Jane than originally meets the eye"--Back cover.
