Icebound

When Bastien Toussaint vanishes, his wife Chloe knows only one thing: Something very bad must have happened to keep him away from her. She’s determined to find him, and she does, in the catacombs of Paris. There’s only one problem. He insists he doesn’t know her, which would be bad enough, but he’s decided to hold her as a hostage. Nothing she can say or do will get him to recognize her, and he’s become like the Bastien she first knew—dangerous and deadly–but she’s afraid if she escapes, she’ll never see him again.

Jean-Marc has no idea who the woman is who foolishly insists he’s her husband. His current mission is too important to jeopardize, but he needs to find out who and what she is before he can either let her go or dispose of her.

As he drags her through the French countryside, the shores of Lake Como, and the arid Spanish desert, Bastien finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. He can’t afford any distractions, but he can’t let her go either. He has a Nobel Peace Prize winner to get rid of, and Chloe provides him with much needed cover. When the job is done he can let her go and forget all about her.

Can’t he?

From the catacombs of Paris to the busy streets of London, Icebound revisits Chloe and Bastien from Black Ice, once more enmeshed in danger and murder in this sizzling tale of suspense and romance.

“Under an Enchantment”

Ailie MacBride has convinced everyone on the tiny island of St. Columba that she’s daft — it’s the only defense she has against her wicked relatives. When a mysterious, beautiful man emerges from the cold ocean she finds herself caught in his wicked gaze and his dreamlike smile, until all thoughts of her ordinary life vanish, and she is his.

Driven By Fire

Pro bono lawyer Jenny Parker is the only true innocent in her family. The daughter of a New Orleans crime lord, she’s tried for years to make her own way, but family ties always manage to pull her back in line. When her youngest brother gets involved in human trafficking, Jenny wants to believe him innocent and tries to protect him, even though it means covering for his crimes.

Matthew Ryder knows Jenny is hiding something, and he couldn’t care less about her motives. As a member of the Committee, a covert anticrime agency, he’s dealt with the worst the world has to offer. To him, Jenny is just another criminal. But when she asks for help, things turn dangerous quickly, and though he can’t trust her, he can’t turn her away.

Now, Jenny and Ryder must head to South America to stop the trafficking ring. To find the truth, they’ll have to survive untamed jungles, hostile rebels, crushing betrayals, and—perhaps most dangerous—the fire of their undeniable attraction.

The Solider, the Nun and the Baby

Tough, gorgeous soldier of fortune Reilly (Whatever his other name is) promised his best friend he’d take care of his wife and baby, bringing them out of the war-torn South American country they were stuck in. He was expecting a spoiled, glamorous socialite, not a quiet, stubborn girl devoted to the tiny infant.

Carlie Forrest had been waiting a long time to take her final vows, but caring for the new-born baby of a dead woman was more important, leaving her stuck in the abandoned convent. She wasn’t going to just hand the baby over to a man who looked like he’d never changed a diaper in his life, and she didn’t mind pretending to be the dead socialite in order to keep the child safe.

Everyone wants him – the rebels, the dead dictator’s army, the rich American grandparents, and Carlie. Can she let him go when the safest place was cold and heartless?

He’s all business – he has no intention of falling for his best friend’s widow. She’s all business – she doesn’t want to fall in love with this big, tough, gorgeous man.

But love and trouble don’t listen to good intentions, not when you’re thrown together with your unexpected and inconvenient soul mate.

Consumed By Fire

Evangeline Morrissey remembers the last time she saw her husband: it was during their honeymoon, right before he stole her elderly aunt’s earrings and abandoned her. Now, five years later, the enigmatic man who’d broken her heart and destroyed her trust is back. But she’s not the same naive young woman who fell for him so easily.

Marrying Evangeline and letting her think he was nothing but a common thief had been James Bishop’s plan all along. As an assassin for the Committee, a covert agency dedicated to stamping out international crime, he had no business even thinking about marriage. But it was the only way to protect Evangeline after she’d unwittingly wandered into his operation against a group of human traffickers, placing herself in grave danger. And now that James’s vigilant watch over Evangeline’s life has revealed to his enemies that she’s his one true weakness, he must set out to have, to hold, and—above all—to protect his bride.
