Trey
They can’t deny the heat—it’s the only thing keeping them alive. A distracted soldier is a dead solder. That’s special operative Trey Williams’ motto. The last thing he needs in his life is a girlfriend. Problem is, the woman who’s been recruited to pose as his wife on a special assignment is proving to be exactly the kind of distraction he can’t afford. Years ago, Carly McAfee turned her back not only on her military career, but the men who come with it. So why did she say yes to a mission that puts her in intimate contact with Trey, under 24/7 surveillance by both bad guys and good? One slip, and they’re both dead. It’s not long, though, before her body betrays her, followed closely by her heart. With a terrorist arms deal going down and missing teammate’s life on the line, Carly and Trey must throw caution to the wind in the scorching-hot performance of their lives—and try not to lose their hearts and minds in the process. This book has been previously published and has been revised and expanded from its original release. Warning: Contains bad men with big guns and video cameras, and an unmarried couple who need to get naked and get busy acting very married to save both their country and their lives.

Trey was an amazing read. I absolutely loved the storyline and the characters. Trey's teammate, Jimmy's, cover has been blown and he is being tortured. Trey is supposed to pose as an arms dealer that already had a buy set up, but he needs a women partner that looks like the original man's wife. The only one that they have in time for them to leave is the bar owner across from the base. They are under constant
Jared
Everything is just right...until she turns his life upside down. It doesn't take anything fancy to make Jared Gordon a happy man. A slice of his mama's pie, a pretty girl, a well-bred horse. Life on the farm is just how he likes it. Simple. Until a big-city girl blows into town like a tornado hitting a trailer park. Quintessentially small-town Pigeon Hollow has everything L.A. producer Mandy Morris needs for her new reality show. A smoldering deputy sheriff, a quirky diner owner and a horse farm complete with a hunky horseman. If her own instant attraction is any indication, Jared will have the female demographic glued to their sets. Except the red-hot cowboy is cool to the idea of cameras in his face. And the harder she negotiates, the deeper he digs in...until their head-butting strikes sparks that fan a prairie fire of unexpected passion. She doesn't usually mix business with pleasure, but as Pigeon Hollow's charm works its magic, the youngest Gordon brother has Mandy rethinking many things. Like happiness doesn't have to end with the word "cut". This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release. Warning: Contains one hot shirtless cowboy taking a city girl for a roll in the hay...and a few other places.
Jack
The best way to heal a broken heart is to jump right back on the horse. So to speak… After watching the girl he’s crushed on for years fall for his best friend, the last thing special operative Jack Gordon wants is a vacation. If cooling his heels doesn’t drive him crazy, doing it under his family’s scrutiny will. But once he’s back home things get more than a little interesting. The new farm hand is cute, sexy—and his instincts tell him she’s got something to hide. Luckily, he’s got the skills and the backup to find out what. Gordon Equine is the perfect place for Niccolina Campolini. The Gordons pay in room, board and cash. And they don’t ask questions. Perfect for a girl on the run…until Jack shows up. Sexy as hell and far too inquisitive, Jack strikes sparks and suspicions that put both her body and her heart in danger. Jack knows better than to trust a woman with as many shadows as Nicki, but the heat waves of their attraction are messing with his focus. And when her secrets catch up with her, he’s not sure if he’s protecting her from something, or protecting his family from her… This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release. Warning: This book contains extremely stupid gangsters bearing guns, a bored team of special operatives looking for some action, and one Southern gentleman guaranteed to charm your panties off.

Jack was a great read. I really loved the characters. Jack gets sent home for R&R with the rest of the team. Jack is not happy at first because he doesn't want the time off but he finds something to occupy him. There is a new hand on his family's ranch and not everything is adding up for Jack. He decides to investigate on his own. But there is also a chemistry there that they do not know what to do with at fi
Jimmy
Social butterfly and a soldier in the Special Forces—a match made in…bed. Red Hot & Blue, Book 3 Special Forces gave Jimmy Gordon the undercover skills of a chameleon, but nothing prepared him for Amelia Monroe-Carrington, the governor’s hot, redheaded daughter. She thought she was seducing a banquet waiter, and he let her. His next assignment pulled him from her bed and into the worst six months of his life. Images of Lia were what kept him alive imprisoned in Kosovo, and even now he’s home and recovered, she’s still in his head. For her father’s political career, Lia has always done the appropriate thing, right down to dating a senator’s son. Her one rebellious act, an incredible night with a totally inappropriate man, ended when he disappeared. And then never called. When they unexpectedly meet again, the pull between them is stronger than ever, tempting Lia to stop sacrificing her own happiness for the family dynasty. This book has been previously published and has been revised and expanded from its original release. Warning: Contains incredible one-night-stand sex hot enough to withstand time, distance, and some really nasty terrorist torture.

A Few Good Men
He has met the enemy…but he’s never fought desire like this. Deployed in the deadliest place on earth, Army Staff Sergeant John Blake relies on caffeine, adrenaline, years of training and sheer force of will to get through his days. He has no problem with his tank crew passing around a sexy romance novel, but John’s a fighter, not a lover. He’ll pass. Winding up as the author’s accidental pen pal wasn’t in his plan, but there’s something about her sweet, caring emails that has him looking forward to checking his inbox. Week after week, Maureen Mullen, aka erotic romance writer Summer Winters, has dated one loser after another in a quest to find the last decent man on earth. Now it seems she’s found him—halfway around the world. When it comes to falling for unavailable men, she’s batting a thousand. Gradually, the emails between the war-hardened warrior and the writer of passionate prose heat up to the point of keeping them up warm and wanting at night. Soon they’re wondering if it’s possible to build something solid out of cyberspace, or if it’s just an emotional mirage that will dissolve in the heat of reality. Warning: Contains some steamy phone calls from the war zone and one hell of a sexy first meeting between two strangers who are already in love.

Bobby
When the reality TV cameras stop rolling, things really start to heat up. Deputy Sheriff Bobby Barton agrees to put up with a reality TV show in his town for two reasons: it’ll be good for local business, and the producers promise to keep out of his. Except the show keeps creeping into his personal life. Plus, against his better judgment, he finds himself hoping that the show's assistant producer, Christy Dunne, will creep into his bed. Christy never mixed business with pleasure, but Bobby has her breaking all her own rules. When she makes a decision that can cost her job, suddenly she’s scrambling to keep her career from crashing. Though landing in Bobby’s bed might make it worth all the uproar.

Then again, how can they not? This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release. Warning: Contains one sexy, brooding, overprotective officer of the law who uses his handcuffs for more than catching criminals.

Reality TV seemed like a good idea to Deputy Bobby Barton. It could simulate the economy and that had to be good. He didn’t expect to desire to find the show’s assistant producer in his bed though. Not only that, he agreed to let her tag along with him throughout the day when she gave him a tape showing him hitting his sister’s ex.
Christy Dunne knew she shouldn’t have turned over that tape. It would hav
