Extreme Heat

A Daddy…

A Husband…

FIRE AND ICE WERE ALWAYS A DEADLY COMBINATION

Savvy and headstrong, former special agent Tessa Nielsen could handle whatever the Alaskan wilderness threw at her: extreme cold, polar bears, even her arms-dealer captors. But what she couldn't handle was being so close to the man who'd returned to "rescue" her. Three years earlier, Mike McNair had taken her innocence, then terminated her from Special Forces. But his gallant reappearance made one thing Alaska-air clear-the heat between them was still scorching. Now, without CIA sanction, Tessa and Mike alone had to brave frigid environs to stop a shipment of nuclear warheads from leaving the country…using only their wits-and their warm bodies-to stay alive.

The McQuaids

Brothers by blood, lawmen by choice; the West was always in their soul. Up against the toughest cases-and the strongest passions-they live by…THE COWBOY CODE

Texas lawman Matt McQuaid had his hands full with Heather Lombardi. Her search into her mysterious past incited trouble in his sleepy town-the woman herself excited the man behind the badge.

He was the kind of man her mama warned her about, workaday rancher Sophie B. Jones realized, as she looked up to find Sinclair Riker's unrelenting gaze on her. But resisting him was not an option, for though his words hinted at the darkness of his soul, his eyes spoke another message altogether-one that Sophie could not help but answer….

Sinclair knew better than to fall for an innocent like Sophie Jones. He knew that heartless seduction was supposed to be his stock-in-trade, and that he had come to the ranch with one purpose only-to do Sophie out of her beloved land, by any means possible. So what was it about this woman that had him yearning for the purity of her soul? And could love really turn Sin…into Sophie's saint?

ONE POWERFUL WOMAN AND HER GORGEOUS BODYGUARD…

Congresswoman Kaye Miller didn't survive the honed jaws of politics to fall prey to a deadly hate crime. So when sexy bodyguard Daniel DuCharme was assigned to protect her, they found themselves sharing every waking moment…and Kaye worried that his smoky blue eyes made her body feel anything but secure.

THEIR LIFE-SAVING MISSION

One look at her and Daniel DuCharme knew he'd gamble away his life salvaging Kaye's, even if it meant following a trail of blood into the treacherous Virginia woods. Now, with a killer hungry for their precious lives, can the two lovers battle time in order to stop a global assassination?

Jodie Gahagen was content being a single mom to her twin baby boys. But her ordered life was shattered by a stalker whose threat sent her packing home-with her bags and more than a couple of secrets.

She'd told the town her "husband" couldn't make it, that things were fine whenever she overreacted. Except there was no avoiding Ray Kostner-the one man she couldn't deny. He read her instinctively, knew she was hiding the truth…and that she still loved him. But Ray never guessed he was a father.

He had one chance to bring down a criminal, and operative Cal Spencer wasn't about to let a beautiful brunette stand in his way. Unfortunately ex-cop Gina Torno refused to step aside and let Cal take over a mission she and her team had spent months executing. Cal admired Gina's perseverance, but when she suggested they join forces Cal was torn. Letting down his guard and trusting her could cost him his life. Yet he needed intimate details only she could provide--not to mention their barely controlled attraction made it difficult to deny her anything. Including answers to who he really was...

THEY WERE A KIDNAPPED HEIRESS'S LAST CHANCE…

As a Confidential agent, Isabelle Rush's assignment included tracking down and rescuing a kidnapped heiress in South America-not encouraging the attention of her infuriatingly gorgeous and highly skilled partner, Rafe Montoya. Between the stray bullets surrounding them and the local cops arresting them, remaining focused was key to their survival. But time was running out and their high-stakes mission was putting Isabelle's undercover training to the ultimate test. Now, she would do all she could not to fall prey to an elusive enemy…or to Rafe's playboy charms.

A member of the elite Special Designation Defense Unit, Jack “ Spike” Logan had only days to stop a bomb-wielding terrorist, but first he had to secretly recruit an academic lost in the sands of the Middle East. Dr. Abigail DiMatteo was key to the mission, and Spike would do anything for his country— even marry her to keep his cover.
