Operation: Midnight Tango

UNDER SUSPICION

Michelle Pelletier had no alibi, a fuzzy memory and an utterly gorgeous detective on her doorstep accusing her of murder. Philip Betancourt wasn't buying her plea of innocence. After all, she'd confessed only half the truth….

The lady had a body to haunt a man-and a shadowy past, to boot. But Philip knew a frame job when he saw one. His instincts insisted he protect her…by keeping the sexy suspect very close. Philip wouldn't let anyone harm this vulnerable beauty who would make someone a perfect wife….

AGENT-PROTECTOR AND THEN SOME

Special Agent Jake Vanderpol swore he'd buried all tender feelings for Leigh Michaels. Until he learned that the arms dealer she'd testified against six years ago had escaped. Suddenly the memories were back…memories of urgent kisses in hiding. But after what happened, would she trust him to save her?

Danger just exploded from her past with the same raw male power that first drew Leigh to her former agent-protector. Then Jake used her as bait to get his man, and she'd fled into witness protection. Now a killer wants revenge. But who will shield her heart from the only man she'd ever let touch her-body and soul?

HOT BODIES

After another patient mysteriously turned up dead, Dr. Ripley Davis began desperately seeking answers. Until radiation safety officer Zachary Cage stormed into her office with an array of accusations and brimming with male sex appeal. Ripley didn't have time to convince the brooding man she was innocent. She was trying to save her next patient and stay alive.

Cage had once sworn to protect innocent patients from their doctors' mistakes, but Ripley's fiery resolve to seek the truth-and her soft curves-soon melted his doubts and touched his heart. She was enticing-and in danger. And only Cage could save her from the deadly killer who had made the beautiful doctor his prime target.

MIDNIGHT IN MONTANA

When a federal transport was ambushed and overturned in the wilds of Montana, MIDNIGHT agent Sean Cutter was given forty-eight hours to track down a desperate woman. But falsely accused, Mattie Logan didn't want to be saved. It was Sean's job to convince her otherwise.

A former Department of Defense scientist now targeted by the terrorist known only as the Jaguar, Mattie couldn't risk betrayal again. But neither could Sean. Caught out in the blistering cold, Mattie sought shelter beneath Sean's broad shoulders, each needing the other's warmth to stay alive. But would trusting one another prove to be more difficult than clearing Mattie's name?

THE DARKNESS IS SAFER WHEN YOU'RE WITH A COP

He might be irritating, and more intimidating than handsome, but rugged, brawny detective Sam Turner wasn't the kind of man a woman could forget. He got in reporter Caroline Kimberly's way at every turn. But when she became the obsession of a killer, it was Sam she wanted by her side as darkness fell.

She made him ache for something elusive-something that could never be. The nosy, sexy reporter with the smart, kissable mouth was trouble, and Sam had to keep his distance. But he couldn't once Caroline became his only link to the depraved killer who lured his prey into the unrelenting night….
