KIRK HARDAKER:
Ex-Marine Search and Rescue operative
ASSIGNMENT:
To find his missing wife…and secret baby?

He'd lost more than most men could bear and had isolated himself from the world. But when former Marine Search and Rescue specialist Kirk Hardaker learned his ex-wife-and the baby that had to be his-had gone down in a sabotaged plane in the Rockies, he came out of his seclusion. His high school sweetheart, Sara, had left him when he'd refused to quit his dangerous career. But now she was running from a killer who wanted her top-secret software. The passion still smoldering between them was hot enough to melt a glacier, but would they rebuild their trust in time to save the family they'd always wanted?

Securing his baby's future meant uncovering a royal past shrouded in mystery...

Just days after he was falsely reported dead, Will Chastain watched in horror as his infant son, Leo, was kidnapped by an impostor. Moments too late, the real legal guardian, Julia Sheridan, appeared to claim the boy.

Now a long-buried secret had Will trekking to a remote riot-torn town, a persistent Julia by his side. There, Leo could be in line for the throne...or in the crosshairs of an enemy's rifle. With an unknown rival gunning for them, Will vowed to protect Julia--and fought hard to keep his hands to himself. But all the king's men couldn't stop them from discovering a shattering royal truth within.

When the bogeyman left and four-year-old Danny crawled out from hiding into his "Uncle Matt's" arms, he knew he'd found the one place where he could feel safe again.

Horrified that her son might have witnessed a murder, Jillian Kincaid wanted to take Danny away from the hovering police and the stranger who'd found him. Yet her heart warmed when Matthew Childs soothed Danny's fears-and leapt when his dark gaze met hers.

THE SISTER SHE NEVER KNEW…BUT WOULD STOP AT NOTHING TO SAVE

It wasn't like Tess Mays to fall apart in front of strangers, but she was having a rough day. Detective Ryan Hill just informed her that her long-lost father was dead, and that the woman lying helplessly in a coma in the ICU was her identical twin. Unbelievable! Somehow Tess had to unravel her father's secret past and fi nd the thugs who intended to kill her sister. For that she needed Ryan's help…if only she could resist succumbing to his protective arms. Her bold plan: to live another woman's life…and possibly risk her own in the process.

RICH. POWERFUL. AND THE ONLY MAN WITH THE POWER TO SATISFY ONE WOMAN'S QUESTIONS…AND EVERY DESIRE.

The Meadows heiress had been kidnapped 25 years ago. Vanished by moonlight, and CEO Nicolas Galloway was the last to see her. So when reporter Valerie Zea arrived at the Moongate mansion to dig up new dirt, Nick was there to watch her every move. And his smoldering eyes didn't miss much-especially her uncanny resemblance to the missing girl….

Now someone was stopping at nothing to ensure the real story remained buried-and that meant ending Valerie's probing questions. But the biggest question of all was the tall, dark Mr. Galloway himself. Could Valerie get him to open up before the opportunity to expose the truth disappeared?

Ashley Orrick would protect her son at all costs. But escaping her all-powerful ex, whose infinite resources seemed almost impossible to elude, was one thing--shaking Victoria Colby-Camp and her exceptional agents was another.

Keith Devers had finally made the leap from analyst to investigator only to be presented with a conflict of interest. Something didn't add up about Ashley. Was it her long scarlet hair or emerald-green eyes...? More than that, it was her maternal ferocity that made Keith break all the rules. Because with this inheritance came a more costly price.

But fleeing from danger could only get them so far from the one thing they couldn't escape--runaway passions.
