'One night with the protector…

'Everyone knows Marine Raider Caleb Grey doesn’t take life too seriously. Outside of work, he cares only about having a good time. No ties, no commitments, and zero expectations. Then one night at a luxury hotel in the Middle East, he meets Lucy Aish. Lucy is smart, studious and intensely dedicated to her career in the Arts.

'It’s one night totally out of character for them both, full of heat and an instant, unexpected connection. Suddenly Lucy isn’t acting quite so sensible, and Caleb allows his carefree mask to slip, revealing the complex, damaged man beneath. But when a bomb turns their paradise into a nightmare, Caleb has no choice but to walk away.

'Five years later, Lucy runs her own gallery in San Francisco, and has pushed aside her memories of a brave Marine and a night she’s tried hard to forget. Caleb has moved to Falcon, Colorado as part of the covert, outside-of-the-law Shadow Team and is firmly back behind his commitment and expectation-free façade. But when Lucy becomes convinced someone is trying to kill her, she has nowhere to turn. Desperate, she races across the country in search of the only man who can make her feel Caleb [sic].

'Caleb never thought he’d see Lucy again, but now he’ll do anything to protect her. And as the Shadow Team hunts for those after Lucy, it becomes clear one night in the desert all those years ago isn’t nearly enough. As danger draws closer, Caleb and Lucy will need to risk everything to fall in love…and to survive.'

'A single mother. An Elite SWAT hero. A deserted island. Only one blanket…

'Hard-working single mother Rose Frederick really needs a holiday. But instead of a luxury tropical cruise, Rose finds herself stuck on a fishing boat with a tall, tattooed stranger.

But after a week waiting to intercept a drug shipment that never arrives, this fishing tour was supposed to be a brief respite. The sexy, reserved woman who unexpectedly joins the tour is a very welcome surprise.

'But when the tour is propelled into the path of murderous bikers a fight for survival begins. Unarmed, and without his team, it’ll take all Oscar knows to keep Rose safe. With desperate bikers and a tropical storm to combat, it’s soon clear that Oscar and Rose will need to work together – and the intense connection between them can’t be ignored.'

'Wrong Place. Wrong Time. Wrong Man — yet he made her feel so right.

'A prim and proper high school teacher

'Recently divorced Bethwyn Banfield just wanted one out-of-character night on the town, and the tall, dark, tattooed stranger she meets is not what she was looking for. But their instant, electric attraction is undeniable.

'The cop with a bad boy past

'WASP Team Undercover cop Damon Nyhuis has spent two years infiltrating the notorious Notechi Motorcycle Club, doing whatever it takes to remain in deep cover. But when he sees his high school calculus teacher in a bar looking as hot as she did thirteen years ago, the last thing he is thinking about is his job. And that turns out to be the biggest mistake of his life.

'A race through the desert

'Kidnapped and dragged to the middle of nowhere, Beth and Damon must escape the murderous Notechi — but to do so is only the beginning of their ordeal. The desert is vast, desolate and unforgiving, and the Notechi are right on their heels.

'Their passion as hot as the sun

'In the cool of the desert night they run, but in the lethal heat of the day they must rest — and quickly, lust becomes so much more.

'First, they must make it home. But then — can there really be a future for the teacher who wants her own family, and the cop who makes certain he's always alone?'
