Romantic Suspense

Liam:
I had dared to love once and lost. The memory haunted me every day.
Now, I have rules, three simple rules:
I don't do dinner, they never come to my place, and I never stay the night.
Until I met the tantalizing Amy and she turned everything upside down.
It was just one night. Tomorrow I could get back to normal I told myself.
When she turned up at my next meeting, normal was no longer on the horizon.
Now, she is essential to defeating my nemesis.
One way or another she may be my undoing.

Amy:
I couldn't get past my failed marriage - I couldn't take the terrifying leap.
When the question became his place or mine, I ran back to my computer to pick another.
My sister convinced me to try shock therapy - a one-night stand to get over my phobia.
One night without inhibitions and never see him again, that was the plan. Simple enough, right?
The next day, he walked into my meeting. Suddenly things weren't simple anymore.
He held the key to my company's survival; there was just one catch.
I had to pretend to be his girlfriend.
How hard could that be?

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.

Jordan:

Being a woman on the force was tough enough. Then, I caught a bullet in the leg while taking down the bad guy. The Captain pulled my badge. Internal Affairs will be fair, he said. Fat chance of that. To avoid the media, I packed up to recuperate in the place I remembered being the happiest: the small town of Clear Lake.

My doctor’s orders were two months of physical therapy before my next checkup. The stretching, massage, and exercise would be tough if I was going to get in shape to be back on the force by then.

I expected the sunshine and clean air away from the city to make it all bearable. What I didn’t count on was him. Casey Benson became the devil driving my recovery. I alternated between hating the man and being seduced by him.

His pull was magnetic, but I didn’t understand the danger of a fling with this devil.

When I get pulled into his orbit and the town feud, everything changes.

Casey:

Life had settled down. People in town had mostly forgotten about my past. I was the go-to guy when they needed help with fitness goals or injuries. Even the feud between our family and the Pollocks had cooled off.

Jordan’s arrival however upset the balance in my life. It was my job to help her recover from her injuries. She needed the right therapy, including daily massages, and I was the man for the job. Was it my fault that she thought Casey was a woman’s name when she booked me?

She had a job to get back to, but until then we could forget our past problems in each other’s company. Every minute with her, every word, and every touch became a drug I couldn’t get enough of.

When my little sister re-ignited the feud between our families by dating Lee Pollock. The fights between my brother Waylon and young Pollock escalated from words to bruises, to blood. Then Lee went missing, and my family all became prime suspects.

Events soon force an impossible choice, but I have to find a way to save Jordan.

Danielle:

Our families vacationed together for years. The summer I turned sixteen, hormones raged, and I developed a huge crush on Charlie Blakewell. It ended badly when my dad and his had a huge argument. Even talking to anyone in the rival family became a crime.

I grew up, and like a good girl, I joined the family firm and waited for my turn at an important assignment. As usual, my brother, John got tapped for the latest acquisition, but my turn would come.

When John got in an auto accident, my turn came earlier than expected. The surprise came when Dad declared we were doing a joint deal with the Blakewells after all these years. I would be working side by side with Charlie after all these years.

When things started going wrong, I had to question everything I thought I knew, and all the decisions I’d made. Was he the cause of all our problems, or the answer to my prayers?

Our time together would soon come to an end. If only the clock could be turned back…

Charlie:

I’d been spied on during the negotiations, and when Dad said we were changing our offer to a joint deal with the Wentworths I couldn’t believe it. They were likely the ones behind the surveillance.

At first, when Danielle replaced her older brother John in the deal, I considered it good luck. Then things started going haywire. When busy days turned into heated nights, I had to decide if she’d been sent to distract me with her curves and that smile. Were we working toward the same goal, or were my hormones coloring my judgment?

Events soon forced a choice. But, how could I choose between her and my family?

Angela:
I’m the nerdy girl the guys don’t like because when it comes to technology, I’m better than any of them. I like that computers are predictable. You always know how they’re going to behave, people not so much. My last choice of boyfriend proves that point.
I plotted out my escape for two months. My timetable was complete with a checklist and a spreadsheet. I only intended a two-week stay in Clear Lake before moving on.
Then, fate intervened. My plan disintegrated and placed me at the doorstep of the devil himself. It had been years since I’d seen our high school hero, Boone Benson. Meeting him again brought back memories of the lesson I’d learned the hard way. The jock never goes for the nerd.
Now, depending on him for survival is my only option.
When the beast shows me kindness, I resist falling for the fairy tale. So what if he’s hotter than sin. I know better this time. I can stay logical. Really I can.
I hate him, he hates me, problem solved.
But the science is clear. Sparks often lead to fire. And this fire is soon raging out of control.
