"HE WILL KILL YOU BEFORE HE EVER LETS YOU GO."

She'd become an obsession to the patriarch of the deadly and powerful Adriano family--but not for the reasons she'd thought. For Aubrey de Lune, aka antiquities thief Dr. Ginny Moon, had ties to a legacy that could finally bring the Adrianos to justice. She had to escape from the golden cage in which they'd entrapped her. Millions of lives depended on it. But how?

With no options left, Aubrey went on the run with the Adrianos' young heir and an ancient manuscript containing a shocking historical secret. Pursuit was swift--and now, she had just hours to seduce the child's brooding bodyguard, keep the heir safe from his bloodthirsty family--and pull off a heist so impossible, it would surely be the death of her.

"GET CLOSE TO HIM BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY."

Seduction was a weapon CIA Special Agent Nova Blair had never resorted to before. After a tragic childhood, she'd dedicated herself to ridding the world of criminals, not entertaining their wildest fantasies. It didn't matter that her target was extraordinarily handsome and charming. What did matter was that he was a suspected terrorist, and millions of innocent lives were at stake. Failure wasn't an option--but was sleeping with the enemy?

Working in war zones while treating the sick and wounded, Dr. Calista St. James was used to being under siege. But now, her team had been deliberately infected with a dangerous virus--and all signs pointed to it being an inside job.

Before Calista could expose the traitor, she had to travel worlds away with black-ops agent Damian De Luna--a man she didn't trust--to find the cure. Radical steps were needed to stop this deadly outbreak--but could Calista stop the breakdown of everything she'd dedicated her life to fighting for?

Rookie agent Miranda Cutler had looked up to superspy Ray Ortega.

Her thanks? He'd seduced her, then left her holding the bag for an ill-fated op that nearly ruined her career while he went into selfimposed exile. One year later, the CIA wanted Miranda to lure Ortega back for a mission so risky, they said only he could handle it.

Miranda had a better idea. She would infiltrate the militant group suspected of creating a dangerous new weapon, salvaging her career and ridding herself of Ortega's ghost in one burst of glory. Her assignment to approach Ortega gave her a way in. But nothing could prepare Miranda for what would happen when it was time to get out....

"Just once I'd like to have a plan go my way. Is that too much to ask?"

Smart-mouthed P.I. Stella Valocchi is finally in business, with the office and the aggravating employee--former fiancé Jake Carpenter--to prove it. And when a client with a sob story hires them to find her brother, success is one missing man away--until the search becomes hazardous to Stella's life. Threats, gunshots and car chases won't put her off the case. Neither will Jake's insistence that they be full partners--and maybe more. But the closer Stella is to getting her man, the more the case looks like a carefully set trap--and she's the bait....

I am Allie Whirlwind, shaman.

With my father a ghost, my sister a psychic, my great-grandmother a vengeful Apache witch and my mother on death row, I'm no stranger to the supernatural--or the struggle between good and evil.

When I painted his image on canvas--this dark-winged warrior--I imagined an angel, but he's far more. Dark. Delicious. Sinfully sexy...and cursed. My painting released him from a spell, but the transformation was incomplete. Now he lingers in twilight, half man, half raven. If I don't find a certain talisman before the curse comes full circle, he'll suffer eternally. I cannot let that happen....

Madison. Becca. Porsche. Alexa. Vanessa. Chloe.

The It Girls

They're rich, fabulous...and dangerously underestimated.

Mission: Pose as Hollywood big shot Jeremy Reins's girlfriend and find out who's making threats against the movie star.

Being beautiful and rich simply wasn't enough -- I needed to get a life. Then the Gotham Roses asked little-old-me to join their high-society crime-fighting team. But I'm so not sure about this first assignment -- baby-sitting Jeremy Reins and his crazy entourage in L.A. He's been getting death threats, but is this pretty-boy actor making up the stalker to get more attention? I thought so -- until the first bullet whizzed by me. At least my BFF, Marlena, is here. We'll ferret out the truth. Then it's back to important business -- like picking out my Oscar dress....
