After nine years on the run, Barbara Johnson believes she's finally safe. Safe with her little boy, in a new city, with a new name. Safe from the abusive man they've escaped and from the wealthy family with the power to take her child.

Then a savage twist of fate exposes her location. Now those wanting to see her suffer and steal her child are coming, with every trick of the law and every weapon of terror.

Determined to stand her ground, Barbara is swept off her feet by a handsome stranger who saves her from a mugger. The timing couldn't be worse for falling in love, but Kyle Trent is simply too perfect to push away, and she desperately needs someone in her life who makes her feel desirable again.

As the burning passion of the present converges with the nightmares of Barbara's past, new secrets arise to remind her no one can be trusted.

Twisted Hunger (Lust and Lies Series, Book 2)
Book 2
As Ellery Winters watches her mother's casket being lowered into the ground, a stranger tells her murder may have been the true cause of death and that the vice presidential hopeful, Abraham Lincoln Jones, could be involved. Desperate to uncover the truth, Ellery agrees to go under cover as Jones' assistant.

Twenty-one years ago, when Luke Madigan was a high-school senior, he watched a whore gruesomely mutilate her client. The event has haunted Luke's nightmares ever since.

For years, the psychotic hooker, who became known as "The Eye Doctor", has left a trail of victims, but never enough clues to find her. When The Eye Doctor strikes closer to home, Luke decides to put an end to the madness, even if it means walking right into the Doctor's waiting room.

Though Ellery and Luke don't realize it, they have something in common beyond hungry sex ignited by burning passion that's fueled with lies. But neither will be denied, despite the deadly danger closing in on them.

Further complicating Teri's world is her new photographer, Drew Marshall. He's starting over from a disastrous downward spiral of his own, and nothing gives Drew as much hope as being with Teri, despite the circumstances.

Together, their powerful chemistry could drive them to the happy ending they've always wanted, if it wasn't for the web of evil being spun around them.

Holly Kaufman was one of a group of young coeds sexually violated by fraternity brothers playing a cruel game. With nowhere to turn, the girls formed a support group.

Two decades later, they are still meeting. Only now, revenge is the only item on the agenda. To see their abusers pay for what they did, Holly must feed information to a reporter without implicating the group, and David Wells is the best man for the job.

David smells a prize-winning story and Holly Kaufman looks like his best bet for unearthing the truth. Although seduction is his preferred tool for getting information from a woman, he's unprepared for being the one seduced.

When the former frat boys start turning up dead and minus a certain organ, Holly wants out. Unfortunately she's a prime suspect and her only hope of being proven innocent lies with the man who is reawakening her passion but cannot be trusted.

Just one more job. One more kill. And then I'll be free from this life.

Did it have to be the guy who could become president?

I shouldn't have taken the job. Now I'm stuck. Because right when I was about to do it... I saw her.

Should I follow my best instincts and get rid of her? Or should I keep her safe, even if it means they will be after me forever?

I may have made the biggest mistake of my life.

SADIE

He was supposed to kill me. But he saved me instead. Now, we're both on the run.

I am afraid of this man. He's a cold-blooded assassin with a hard edge. But I'm also undeniably attracted to him...

He took a single shot, and he torn my life to pieces. As election day approaches, I see my political aspirations go out in a puff of smoke.

I'm not supposed to even be near this guy. But damn if I'm not aching to go down on him in more than one way.

I guess I have my dark side too.

Gage Kirkland is as compelling and magnetic as ever, and he's offering the kind of help she may not be able to refuse. But can she trust him? To finance his troubled son's therapy, Gage, a former investigator, takes one last job--recovering a stolen Civil War artifact. Unfortunately, it's in the possession of the woman he left behind, the woman who's haunted his dreams ever since. The electricity between them still crackles, but unless he helps exonerate her brother and finds a way to confess his true reason for returning, how will he ever recover Morgan's heart?

Devil's Daughter: The Ravenels meet The Wallflowers, Book 5
Lisa Kleypas
Although beautiful young widow Phoebe, Lady Clare, has never met West Ravenel, she knows one thing for certain: he’s a mean, rotten bully. Back in boarding school, he made her late husband’s life a misery, and she’ll never forgive him for it. But when Phoebe attends a family wedding, she encounters a dashing and impossibly charming stranger who sends a fire-and-ice jolt of attraction through her. And then he introduces himself...as none other than West Ravenel.

West is a man with a tarnished past. No apologies, no excuses. However, from the moment he meets Phoebe, West is consumed by irresistible desire...not to mention the bitter awareness that a woman like her is far out of his reach. What West doesn’t bargain on is that Phoebe is no straitlaced aristocratic lady. She’s the daughter of a strong-willed wallflower who long ago eloped with Sebastian, Lord St. Vincent—the most devilishly wicked rake in England.

Before long, Phoebe sets out to seduce the man who has awakened her fiery nature and shown her unimaginable pleasure. Will their overwhelming passion be enough to overcome the obstacles of the past?

Only the devil’s daughter knows…
