Description

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.

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.

Falcon, a gifted half-breed tracker, is in San Francisco to retrieve a ring stolen from Innerworld, located in Earth's core. Too many Terrans are dying at the hands of the billionaire thief experimenting with the ring to gain access to Innerworld.

What should have been a simple assignment is quickly complicated by repeated encounters with Stephanie Barbanell, a Terran investigator hired by the wife of a scientist kidnapped by the billionaire.

Stephanie has always worked alone, and Falcon is not worthy of trust. But joining forces with the mysterious man seems the only solution to rescuing her client's husband... until the forced proximity ignites overpowering and unwelcome desires.

Stephanie's experience has taught her that sex equals loss of independence. A sexual virgin, Falcon believes submission to his human half will strip him of his superior abilities.

But success of the mission will require both... regardless of the loss.

Gallant needs his prisoner's cooperation to discover why the trader was permanently silenced. But he has no idea how much trouble he's brought aboard his ship. While tracking the killer to a distant galaxy, his verbal battles with Cherry turn physical as primitive passions burn away their differences.

Then Cherry discovers Gallant's truth: he is slave to the barbaric alien behind the murder, and there's a double-cross in the works.

With her own life in danger, Cherry faces a choice: put on the performance of her life to escape the captor she's come to love and warn the Consociation of impending invasion, or rely on a suspicious offer of help from one of the barbarians to save her lover.

Then Gabriel Drumayne, a Noronian historian, discovers Shara's plans and threatens to expose her unless she takes him along. Gabriel's agenda: stop Shara.

But the device is faulty, each time-hop rapidly disintegrating Innerworld and its people, while igniting the Noronian mating fever in Gabriel and Shara, bonding them as soul-mates.

When the pair finally return, nothing is as it was. The only solution: erase all memory of their journey including information gathered to prevent the coming disaster... and their love.

Innerworld Emissary Tarla Yan's covert assignment as an Army nurse is finally over. On a flight back to America, surrounded by human medical personnel, wounded soldiers and convicted criminals--the worst of which is Logan McKay--a freak lightning storm transports the cadre of warriors to Heart, an alternate dimension where the sky is green, the grass is blue and women rule.

The female rulers of Heart immediately incarcerate the arriving barbarians and Tarla finds herself in a small cell with Logan; she the assigned mistress, and he the servant.

As Logan chafes against his new role and fights to hide his criminal past, Tarla holds fast to her human cover, while both struggle with rising desires. Then Heart's rulers arrive with an offer for Tarla: lead her experienced warriors in a war to defeat the invading alien force in exchange for freedom.

Now Tarla and Logan must figure out how to work together for everyone's survival. But the heat of battle soon requires Logan to use skills that reveal his dark criminal past and Tarla faces exposure as alien as the approaching enemy.
