Twenty-six authors to agreed to write stories based on the Tarot... with the Tarot cards determining which story subject the authors would write. We took a tarot deck and the list of the twenty-six authors: read the author's name, shuffled the deck, and drew a card. That tarot card and its traits were all the authors had to go on. The card was removed, the deck was reshuffled, and the next name was read off. Never Fear - The Tarot, contains twenty-six stories based on the twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana and the four cards of the Minor Arcana. Award-winning and New York Times bestselling authors combine their talents to deal out twenty-six dark tales influenced by the Tarot. Heather Graham, Lori Avocato, Michael M.

Ex-nurse-turned-insurance fraud investigator Pauline Sokol's willing to risk anything to put a bad doc out of business?even her best friend Goldie's near-perfect proboscis! Her cross-dressing compadre has agreed to get his shnozz bobbed so Pauline can pose as his private nurse and gain entry into Highcliff Manor?a posh plastic surgery "spa" making an illegal killing with their repeat clientele.But when a super-rich "frequent flier" is unexpectedly widowed?and a receptionist who knows too much is given the boot . . . off a nearby cliff!?Pauline realizes she's stuck her own nose into something really nasty. Despite the pleasant distraction of the hunky Dr. Neal?and the unexpected appearance of her sexy cohort, Jagger?Pauline can't shake the feeling she's being closely watched. And if she's not careful, she'll be the next one who goes under the knife!

After years of chasing around sniffly munchkins with a tongue depressor, nurse Pauline Sokol has had it. She's sick of being an "angel of mercy"?she'd like to raise some hell for once! But finding a new career won't be easy for someone who's had no experience beyond thermometers and bedpans.Luckily, the smarmy head of an agency that investigates medical fraud thinks she'd be perfect for the job, since, for him, a potential employee's most important qualification is a killer pair of legs. So now Pauline's a p.i., but since she knows as much about detective work as a potted geranium might, the hunky and mysterious Jagger steps in to teach her the ropes. Her first assignment?going undercover at a local clinic to investigate fake insurance claims?promises to be a hoot ... until the healers around her start inexplicably dropping dead. And before she can say, "streptococci," Pauline's stuck in a true health care crisis with her own continued wellness in very serious jeopardy.
