Never in a million years did lean, muscled, competitive figure skater Garry Windsor imagine he’d sink this low—performing nightly in “Gold on Ice,” a glittery, gaudy, touring ice-skating show. Maybe if he hadn’t fallen on his adorable buns with each attempted quad jump during his one-shot Olympic program, he be beaming from a cereal box. Garry’s only consolation in the world of theme park tacky is his best friend and fellow skater Jay Logan. When the two aren’t gyrating on the ice, they’re scorching the sheets at every Motel 6 with their male fans, dreaming of rich husbands and life without the soulless frostbite of pro skating. When the troupe lands at a local rink in boring Clarksville, Missouri, the guys think they’ve hit an all-time low… until they meet a gorgeous eighteen-year-old fan of the first order: Tag Tempkin. Projecting a demeanor of sweet innocence, the novice skater shyly takes to the ice under Jay and Garry’s prodding and executes a dazzling, flawless performance. Impressed with his skating—and his spandex—Jay and Garry push their producer to add him to the show, while both men pursue him in bed where Tag demonstrates talents that could win him gold in a whole new category of competition. Faster than they can say Eve Harrington on steroids, Garry and Jay watch in horrified amazement as their protégé steps over their beautiful bodies and claws his way to the top. But this isn’t Garry and Jay’s first time at the ice-skating rodeo, and they have a thing or two to teach Miss Manipulation about getting even. Using everything and everyone at their disposal—from cheap tricks to some of the most gorgeously sculpted bait on the planet—Garry and Jay concoct a delicious plan of revenge that will pull the sequins off a certain skater’s goody-goody act and show the world All About Tag…

From the Edgar-nominated, bestselling series that gets better with each book, and an author who constantly surprises, comes Bermuda Schwartz--a tale of hidden treasure, murder, romance, and rum. A young scuba guide, scouting new dive sites in the shipwreck-laden reefs that rim Bermuda, makes a fatal discovery--a treasure more valuable than gold or jewels. And some people are willing to kill for it. Enter Zack Chasteen, knockabout palm-tree farmer, and his inscrutable Taino associate, Boggy, who have been dragged to Bermuda by Zack's ladylove, Barbara Pickering. She needs their help throwing a gala 75th birthday party for her wealthy and eccentric Aunt Trula. While there, Zack drops by the bank to visit his money, a couple of million dollars earned in recent exploits that he has stashed away in one of the country's notorious tax-free offshore accounts. Big problem: Zack's money is gone and his bankers can't seem to explain where it is or who might have it. Zack is grappling with another issue as well: Where is this whole thing going with him and Barbara Pickering? She's not pressing, but it's clear she'd like to tie the knot, maybe start a family. Is Zack really ready to say, "I do?" As he wrestles with the dilemmas of love and money, both of which may wind up lost, Zack falls in with wise and wily Teddy Schwartz, a legendary Bermudan treasure salvager and one of Aunt Trula's longtime paramours. Schwartz is harboring a few secrets of his own, and Zack is soon crossing paths with a secret sect of religious zealots who are hoping to complete a bloody and tumultuous two-thousand-year-old quest. Suspenseful, laugh-out-loud hilarious, and startlingly original, Bermuda Schwartz is Bob Morris's best book yet, a rollicking island yarn that turns the historical puzzle thriller on its head!
