Jade Dupree is running for her life.  She is a famous mystery author and one of her fans is less than pleased with her latest work.  His stalking turns to obsession, and his obsession turns violent.  After Jade’s agent is murdered, and her New York penthouse sprayed with bullets, she assumes her childhood name, Jenna Montgomery, and runs with her daughters to the quiet town of Waterbury, Vermont.  But her newly designed world is tipped off balance when she acquires a cop as her landlord and neighbor—a caring, handsome detective for Waterbury police.

 

Cole Spenser is curious about his new tenants.  A single mother with two small girls brings out his caretaker instincts, and Jenna’s evasive manner peaks his interest.  In the midst of their developing relationship his attention is refocused as, one by one, young women are murdered in a peculiar style.  During his investigation, New York police show up, claiming Jenna is suspected of her agent’s murder, and Cole is caught between love and duty; a need to prove Jenna innocent while struggling to solve multiple murders. 

 

Cole soon discovers NYPD isn’t the only entity who’s followed Jenna to Vermont.  With each murder, his investigation evolves to reveal a stalking fan turned serial killer, and Cole finds himself in a race to catch a killer who is eerily close the woman and children he loves.

 


 
Cassandra Christo
is on a quest for answers.  A yacht explosion off the coast of San Diego has taken Cassie’s beloved mother and stepbrother.  San Diego Harbor Police are calling it an accident, but Cassie has serious doubts.  After completing her medical residency, Cassie travels back to her childhood home on the Pacific Coast of Baja, Mexico.  There she fulfills her mother’s last wish, building a community medical clinic while launching her own investigation into the accident.  But Cassie runs into one big obstacle—Rio Santana; a man who crept into her heart with a deep show of compassion during her darkest moment. 

 

Rio is in way over his head.  His undercover assignment as an agent for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement blew into a national safety issue when Saul Flores, Cassie’s stepfather, branched from plying the U.S. with illegal Mexicans to the lucrative business of smuggling terrorists over the border.  Rio is weeks away from nailing Flores when Cassie shows up, digging and putting Saul on edge.  His physical and emotional draw toward her is yet another complication in this assignment he doesn’t need.

 

Cassie won’t rest until she uncovers the reasons behind the accident and exposes Saul for the criminal he is.  Rio knows if Cassie finds her answers, his mission and his cover are blown, throwing a year of work down the toilet and endangering both their lives.

 

Doctor Sophia Castillo is battling an overwhelming sense of failure after the tragic loss of several patients.  With plans to spend some time by herself, healing, she heads to Brazil for two weeks of research for her father's pharmaceutical firm.  But her short sabbatical turns into the adventure of her life. She is exposed to poisonous snakes, crocodile attacks and ancient tribal medicine. But those dangers hardly compare to the deadly civil war going on all around her. While Jordan McBride becomes her safety net against physical threat, he is also a hidden danger to her heart.  He challenges instead of coddling, admires instead of placating, confronts instead of acquiescing.  Her equal in so many ways.

Jordan has been hired to protect Sophia during her visit.  He expects a spoiled, rich city-girl, but when each layer of her personality is peeled away to reveal a strong, compassionate, gracious woman, he finds himself drawn to her on numerous levels.  While he’s committed to her safety, he also has his own demons to battle.  Ernesto Valencia wants the Indian’s land for his own greedy intentions and is willing to kill to get it.   

When the mounting danger explodes, Jordan and Sophia's resolve to heal individual torment is tested against their feelings for each other and the safety of a tribe they’ve both come to love. 

 

Liliana Casparian’s carefully rebuilt world is about to be shot to hell.  Noah Gray is back after ten long years, and he’s brought a tangled web of danger with him. 

He’d once been Lili’s soul-mate, or so she thought until the day he walked away.  Now, Noah’s taken a managerial position in Radiology at St. Luke’s Medical Center where they will interact everyday.  To Lili this is an uncomfortable coincidence.  She has no intention of letting him near enough to hurt her again.  For Noah it’s a second chance, the hand of fate bringing them back together.  But problems follow him from Washington to California; an almost-ex-wife who isn’t ready to let go, and a gravely ill step-daughter who he loves like his own. 

Noah’s presence opens a floodgate of emotions for Lili, waking her dormant empathic abilities and spurring prophetic dreams.  As Lili comes to terms with these unsettling episodes and begins to allow Noah into her heart again, her very life is threatened.  Harassing phone calls, terrifying mail, stalking and a murder attempt on Lili’s life set up yet another set of road blocks on their path toward a new life together. 

Lili and Noah must decide if their love can span the chasm of deception, betrayal, and pain from both the present and the past.
