Contains three stories of bad boy knights in shining armor.
Saving Debbie:
What do you do when your past turns out to be a lie?
Debbie:
My family forced me to participate in their crimes. I’m now on the run from them, and the cops. Luke came to my rescue when I was beaten and robbed of the money I’d saved for my escape. Slowly, I realize that everything I thought I knew is a lie, and the tattooed ex-con is the only one I can trust. To unravel it all, I must talk to the boy from long ago who lived through the nightmare with me.
Luke:
I brought home the battered and bruised girl because the strong protect the weak. She came with a hitch: the news said she’d just robbed a bank. The smart move would have been to claim the reward. I was on parole for another two years, and the impulse to keep her was both stupid and dangerous.
As Debbie’s life unravels, she yearns to learn the truth from long ago. But, at what cost?
The Billionaire’s Hope:
Mr. Dangerous, meet Miss Impulsive.
Katie:
I hadn't seen Nick since high school, the day he broke my brother's nose. I bumped into him while trapped in Las Vegas with no way to get home. Maybe this was my second chance.
I didn't accept the ride to LA on the back of his bike just because he'd been the hottest and baddest boy in school. I swear I didn't.
My life was all planned out. I left my sensible house every day in my sensible clothes and went to my sensible job.
Until, some crazy targeted me, and it all went up in smoke.
Now, I'm done being sensible. I know what I want, and he's pure trouble. Nick's all wrong for me, but only he can keep me safe.
I'm falling for him. It can't work. It doesn't make sense. I'm walking straight into a broken heart, and I can't stop.
Nick:
We came from different worlds. She was trouble wrapped in temptation. It would be wise to keep my distance. The last time I'd dared to touch Katie, her brother foolishly took a swing at me. Her family taught me a painful lesson that day about money and power.
I broke his nose. They destroyed my life.
Today she desperately needed a ride back to LA. Six hours of her warm body wrapped around mine on the back of my bike was the price she'd have to pay.
With her life in flames, the danger was more real than she knew. When she ran from her brother and into my arms, the kiss was meant to scare her off.
It didn't work. She's sexual napalm, and I'm the match. Now we're both toast.
Katie's vulnerable, and I need to keep her safe and oh so close. Now that I have her, I'm not giving her up.
Even if it destroys me.
Temptation at the Lake:
Dating a criminal is forbidden. That’s an unwritten rule every cop knows.
Being a woman on the force was tough enough before Jordan caught a bullet in the leg taking down a bad guy. Then, her good old boy boss unfairly laid the blame for the public shootout at her feet. With the news jackals after her, she left the big city to recuperate. To escape her captain she has two months to pass the physical fitness test in time to interview for the opening in the major crimes unit.
The recommended physical therapist in Clear Lake is tattooed and incredibly hot. The idea of two months of his hands on her is too good to believe. Then, she learns he is an ex-con and almost bolts.
Being framed by the police chief and two years in prison has hardened Casey. When the uppity female detective arrives, he plans to make her miserable. He would prefer to even the score with the chief, but for now, torturing Jordan for being a cop would do.
