The Heart of Brody McQuade

Damien Wynter was as handsome and arrogant as sin. Heiress Charlotte didn't need his dark primitive sensuality in her life until the man she'd planned to marry disappointed her and Damien offered a challenge: let him wed her and get her pregnant!

It was all about winning to Damien but Charlotte wanted a baby and if surrendering to him meant she could win too...why not accept his scandalous offer?

In her nightmares Irina Castle relived the horror of witnessing her husband's murder. For two years she'd grieved his death while running Black Hills Search and Rescue--and privately searching for him. Then he emerged from the shadows and was in her life again...leading her to question everything she'd once believed about the man she loved.

Rook Castle a former air force combat rescue officer had "died" to protect Irina from a terrorist. He couldn't fault her for not trusting him when he returned on a mission to keep her safe from the danger that targeted her again. Nor could he resist the passion that even death could not erase.

Covert agent Ryder McClintock had returned home for the first time in years only to come face-to-face with Julia Rousseau, the woman with whom he'd once shared a bed--then been forced to leave behind. Forgetting her had been impossible, but because of an accident, she was left with no memory...including the name of her baby's father. A little girl who looked remarkably like Ryder. But before he could tell Julia about their shared past, he needed to protect her and his daughter from someone determined to spoil their reunion. And as the threats escalated and Julia's memory returned, Ryder sensed her stalker's grudge ran much deeper than they realized....

Alpha Squad sniper Ava Carter trusted no one. Especially not Cael McCabe the security pro who'd hired her as an elite bodyguard and had somehow unearthed her hidden past. Cael a commanding ex-SEAL was no stranger to secrets himself. He was intent on concealing from Ava a lifelong obsession for revenge.

Now on assignment in a South American jungle their professional relationship was steaming up. But both understood not to mix business with pleasure. They needed to deceive each other for the sake of the mission. And both knew their efforts to resist each other's brazen lust would never last....

Mr. October: Kyle Landis Air Force commander millionaire...daddy?
Motto: Family first last always.
Marriage?: Not until now!

He'd worked the most dangerous missions but nothing had prepared Kyle Landis for the surprise of becoming a dad. When Phoebe Slater suddenly announced the child she was caring for was his baby he had no reason to doubt her. And since a Landis did not sway in his duty marriage was the only course of action. But once "I do" was said would Phoebe be up for enlisting as his wife...in every way Kyle had been imagining?

MAN OF THE MONTH: Born into old money bound for new love.

With blazing blue eyes and beckoning broad shoulders Brett Taylor was irresistible to most women. But Detective Ginny Rafferty wasn't about to succumb to his potent charm. The lady cop had learned early about love and betrayal and buried her feelings beneath her badge. So the last thing she wanted was to pose as the brawny neighborhood hero's adoring fiancée especially since she went weak in the knees every time he came too close. However they had each lost a loved one to the killer they hunted and Ginny needed Brett's connections to catch the perpetrator. Except she knew better than anyone that this sudden engagement could endanger her heart--and her life. But some things were worth the risk.

Just seconds after signing divorce papers Marianna Landis fainted. Shocked her now ex-husband Sebastian discovered Marianna was three-and-a-half months pregnant. The timing was perfectly in line with their last impetuous night together. Incensed that his "wife" would still be so intent on their separation Sebastian vowed to do anything to win her back. Seduction had worked once before...he'd make damn sure it would work again. For Marianna was carrying a Landis baby and a Landis man keeps what is his!
