Once Burned…

Reserved zoologist Miranda Harper would do anything to avoid dating a jock, especially the self-absorbed athletes sent by her wilder young sister, Danielle. Yet when the zoo's administrator threatens to sell her favorite chimp, Mira needs the clout only her sister's ad agency can bring. Dani agrees — with a catch long enough to make a wide receiver proud. Mira must run wild with her for seven full days and lend her voice to a new commercial. Problem is, Mira has to work with Dani's ex-pro football-playing boss, a man she's determined to avoid yet who fires her libido like no other. When her sister entrusts the job of "going wild" to her hunky boss, heat broils between them, and Mira is forced to face her greatest torment — her latent sexuality.

Twice Shy…

Gary Staunton's biggest deal to date depends on the Mira's sexy voice. But his concentration with the job shatters around her and his desire for her lush body leads him astray. He's damaged property. She deserves better. But when Mira switches the deal from platonic involvement to passionate encounter, Gary can't resist temptation, risking the future of his firm — and his ego.
 

Trapped in a world of suspicion and lies, love was the only way out.

Spurned by Brodie Crawford years ago, Elena Alvarez Ramirez thought she couldn't hate the man more. But long-repressed desires between them flare hotter than ever when the Special Forces Army Sergeant comes to her aid to help rescue her daughter Janie, a child who bears a striking resemblance, not to her ex-husband, but Brodie.

Brodie Crawford wanted only one woman in his life — Elena. But when he came home eight years ago and found her married to his best friend, her betrayal was more than he could stand. Now the bastard who took Elena from him has killed a man and fled across the border with the child. Compelled by an emotion he refuses to name, Brodie leaves to help Elena rescue her daughter and finds that they have fallen into an even bigger game of deceit and deception, one with lethal consequences.

Embroiled in a world of danger and intrigue, Brodie prays they'll get out alive.

Note: Intimate Deceptions is a sequel to On Danger's Edge, although it can be read as a stand-alone.
 

Fear be damned…

…is the code photojournalist Rorie Lindsay lives by. Free of her abusive ex-husband, she celebrates her divorce with a one-night stand then heads to her next photo shoot in the Panamanian jungles, thirsting for adventure. Finally sensing her life is her own, Rorie relishes her autonomy until guerillas take her small troupe captive. Now, in order to survive, she must match wits with the soldier who came to save her—Chief Warrant Officer Tom MacCallum, the same stranger she'd spent one incredible night with.

Tom couldn't forget the passionate brunette he'd bedded—a vain attempt to assuage his guilt over a comrade's death. Like his father several years before, Tom had been unable to save his friend. Driven in his Special Forces missions, the failures haunt his private life. Because loved ones die, he's refused to commit himself to a woman. Still, he longed for something with Rorie. Unable to find her again, he's encouraged when he sees she's in the party he's rescuing—until the rescue effort goes awry and he finds the terrorists hot on their trail. Now, both their lives and their destinies are…

…On Danger's Edge.
