She's the last woman in the world he's allowed to fall for. And the only woman he wants. I was living my best life—building my real estate empire, growing my brand, and staying far away from anything that looked like trouble. Then the letters started. At first, I brushed them off. Comes with the territory when you live online. But my overprotective father didn't see it that way—and one phone call later, I've got a bodyguard I didn't ask for and definitely don't need.

I live by three rules: trust my gut, stay in control, and never let anyone close enough to be a weakness. Then Derrika Layne walked into my life—big blue eyes, a smile that could outbluff the devil, and trouble written all over her and blows my rules to hell. She’s undercover in a company sitting on national security secrets, and my job is to keep her alive while we hunt a traitor.

I’ve spent years keeping control—on the job and at home. My daughter is my world, my badge is my duty, and I don’t let anyone close enough to become a weakness. Then Josie Lark walked into my life. Classy, gorgeous, stubborn as hell. One night with her should’ve been enough, but now I can’t stop thinking about the way she looks at me, or how easily she slips past the defenses I’ve built. She’s trouble I can’t afford—and the one risk I can’t resist.

Ryan Strong is a former Navy SEAL, bar owner, and the last man Chloe Baughman should want. He’s her boss. She’s his employee. And he’s been very, very careful to keep it that way. But when Chloe takes a second job at the Vault—a high-end club Ryan’s quietly investigating—his protective instincts go into overdrive. Because the Vault isn’t just a club. It’s a front. And Chloe is in deeper than she knows.

My father was a complicated man. The world knew him as a criminal who worked with men far worse. To me, he was the man who saved a frightened, orphaned little girl and gave her a purpose. Because of him, I became exactly what he needed. Powerful. Respected. Resourceful. The Mediator. The Dove. Technically, that made me a criminal too. I commanded a team of assassins—mercenaries, if we’re being polite. Men who answered when I called and carried out my orders without question.

Tucker Mitchell was the one who got away. Not that he knew he’d plagued my dreams for the last decade. A run-in here, a run-in there, kept those fantasies alive and well. Or maybe it was the memory of the night we gave in to our attraction, only to come to our senses the next morning. A moment of weakness for both of us. Our lives were too complicated—we were too complicated. But ten years later, I couldn’t get him out of my mind and now I had to work with the former DEA Agent. Not only that, we were going undercover as fake husband and wife.

I was living a nightmare of my own making. My life had been erased. My past rewritten. My name changed. I had nothing from my previous life. I was no longer Bridget Keller. I was promised federal protection. I was promised a new life. I was promised I would be safe. As it turned out, I wasn’t and I only had one place to run—back to Theo Jackson and his painfilled brown eyes, menacing demeanor, and indescribable kindness. To the man I had no business falling in love with yet I had.

Nixon Swagger had learned a few things as a Navy SEAL—adapt, improvise, and overcome were among the many. In the middle of an inferno, so ominous even Dante wouldn’t buy a ticket, Nixon must adapt to his new surroundings and overcome multiple threats before he loses the woman he loves.

Valentine Malone fell into my life…correction, I fell into his in the aisle of a grocery store. I fell, not in love, but literally into him right before I stumbled into a display rack of parmesan cheese. Our second run-in had me on the floor slipping and sliding in broken party tubs of margarita mix. And if the first two encounters weren’t embarrassing enough, the third left nothing to the imagination when I walked in on Hot Cop in all his magnificent glory in the shower. Not exactly the meet cute I’d always dreamed of.

Get the first three full length romantic suspense novels in a box set packed with overprotective military heroes and even stronger heroines.

We met in a bar. The sex was phenomenal. Then I walked away. That’s where our story should’ve ended. But he found me. Now he knows my real name, my secrets, and all the details of my sordid past. I’m out for revenge, and no one will stop me; not even the pragmatic Zane Lewis. If he thinks he can silence me with the promise of more mind-bending sex, he’s wrong.

I clipped a shiny, new FBI badge to my belt, thinking I could save the world. Four years later, the shield’s got some dents, along with my idealism. And there’s one cold case that’s come back to haunt me.

A no-strings kinda guy and a forever kinda woman… what could go wrong? I had a stalker and I knew just who to ask for help—Detective Dalton Neary. My own personal Prince Charming. The problem was, he turned out not to be so charming, at least not in the forever kind of way I was looking for. He was a good-time guy with a sexy smile and a goat game that should be illegal. But not the man for me. I should’ve told her no. I had no business playing bodyguard to a woman I’d spent months trying to keep my hands off of. But I couldn't fight the pull of Vanessa Hale.

Former Navy SEAL Kevin Monroe could spot a liar from a mile away. A well-trained government liar?—They were even easier. And the woman sitting across from him in the White House briefing room spinning a tale of corruption, treason, and staged murder was a drop-dead-smokin’-hot professional liar with arresting eyes. Former CIA Officer Layla Cunnings was full of secrets. But only one would send Zane Lewis, owner of Z Corps, over the edge into DEFCON 1 territory.
