***The SIZZLING-HOT romance now in a 2-volume boxed set***

In a world of shadows, smoke, and covert black op missions—where people vanish and living one more day is never a given—falling in love is the last thing Victoria and Jacob expected.

Victoria Marshall didn't cooperate by dying in the Afghani hell-hole like the CIA expected. Defying all probability, a privately-funded black ops group led by a handsome, sexy-as-sin southerner pulled her out of the warlord's prison cell and brought her home. Even half out of her mind with pain Tori knew this man was special. She made a date with the commander to meet one year later at a restaurant of his choice. Keeping that date was the best thing she ever did.

Jacob King found little physically attractive about the woman he saved from the warlord’s camp, though it was hard to see what lay under the filth and suppurating wounds she suffered from countless beatings. He admired her brave humor in the face of her agonizing injuries. This kind of tough-minded woman was someone he'd like to know as a friend. He never expected the leggy, blond bomb-shell in the red dress who showed up for their date.

But then he never expected she would save his life, either. In a world of shadows, smoke, and dangerous covert missions, where people routinely vanish and living one more day was never a given, Tori and Jacob fight to build their happily ever after.

In this modern-retelling of "Beauty and the Beast," Savannah Carmichael, betrayed by an unreliable source, returns to her hometown of Danvers, Virginia with her once-promising journalism career in ruins. Given the opportunity to get back in the game by writing a patriotic human interest piece, Savannah turns her attention to the town hermit, Asher Lee, a wounded veteran who returned to Danvers eight years ago, and hasn't been seen since.

After an IED explosion in Afghanistan took Asher's hand and disfigured half of his face, he's lived a quiet life on the outskirts of Danvers where the locals respect his privacy...that is, until Savannah Carmichael comes calling in a borrowed sundress with a plate of homemade brownies. When Asher agrees to be interviewed by Savannah, he starts feeling things for the beautiful reporter that he hasn't felt in years.

Misfits in small-town Danvers, Savannah and Asher create a bond right away, touching each other's hearts in ways neither thought possible. When a terrible mistake threatens to drive them apart, they'll have to decide if the love they found in one another's arms is strong enough to fight for their hard-won happily ever after.

United we fall, divided we conquer.

Rule Number One: Don’t fall in love with the Doomed Queen.
Rule Number Two: Don’t get caught.
Alec and Adira are breaking all the rules.

ALEC KLADIVO: Soldier. Hunter. Fool.

When Alec was a boy, the border posts failed, and Ravagers infiltrated their sector. Through sacrificing his sister, he saved his city and gained the respect of Sector One’s Regent. Ever since that day, he has served his sector with unfailing loyalty and nobility. Until he met her.

ADIRA CHOVANEK: Thief. Witch. Doomed Queen.

In Sector One, there is no greater commodity than a witch. Which is exactly why each and every one of them are in hiding. Should they be discovered by the hunters, they will suffer one of two fates—both of which end in death—unless they can kill a Ravager and bring forth an heir for the sector’s Regent. The only problem is, the Regent is sterile, and would sooner exile a Doomed Queen than admit that to himself or anyone else. This is Adira's fate.

THIRTEEN: The number of days before Adira’s death.

Alec has given Adira just under two weeks to turn herself in and accept her role as the only person who might be able to save their failing sector from certain extinction. And he’s spent each and every one of those days trying to convince her it is the right thing to do. But what happens once he’s finally persuaded her, only to find out he’d been mistaken all along?

Jamie… who is married to Pam.

A profound love that transcends time and place is impossible to resist. But is love more important than friendship? Are loyalty and fidelity an anchor or a chain? In the end, it’s all about choices – tough ones that can break hearts. Now Cathy must make the most difficult choice of her life.

Anna is content with her well-ordered life in San Francisco.

What’s more, Max was forced to leave behind a precious item over seventy years ago in their estate in old Prussia. It’s now his ardent wish that Anna retrieve it.

Anna burns with questions as she heads for Germany: What memento could be so important to her grandfather? And why did he keep their history hidden? As she searches for answers, she finds herself drawn to Wil, a man who may hold the key to unlock the mystery. Together they discover that her family’s secrets are linked with an abandoned apartment in Paris, and these secrets go deeper than she ever imagined.

THREE COMPLETE BOOKS in this COLLECTION. Bordello Bride (1), Bride Bounty (2), Bride Bandit (3)
BORDELLO BRIDE: Audrey looked at the wisp of a woman in her brother’s clutches, wondering if she might just blow away like tumbleweed in a dust storm. “Why you’re no bigger than a twig,” she said with a condescending smile.

"Yeah, but I can fight like the trunk of a redwood tree!"

Audrey’s gaze traveled to the guns resting on Violet’s narrow hips. Her face curled up. “Why, you’ve got guns strapped to your hips like a man!”

Violet gritted her teeth and forced a smile, resting a hand on one of the guns and held up the Bible she had tucked under her other arm. “I figured between the Good Book and the pistols, anyone wanting to mess with me was gonna meet their maker one way or the other!”

BRIDE BOUNTY: Magnolia is on the run from her pa, her betrothed, and the end of a rope, but the only witness to her innocence is a dead man.

When she lands in Silver City by chance circumstances, will all three catch up to her, or will the new sheriff believe her story, even though she's already told him the biggest lie a woman could tell a man?

BRIDE BANDIT: Scarlet sat in the dirt and dangled her legs over the edge of the grave. “What do we got to show for this robbery? Seven dollars, a few pieces of jewelry, a satchel full of mail, and another dead man! When do you say to yourself that enough is enough? Don’t you want more out of this life than stealin’ and shootin'? I do.”

Her brother dumped out the contents of the mailbag. “I bet lots of these letters are full of money. People send money to their families all the time.”

He tore open one of the letters, read a few lines, and then tossed it at his sister. “This one is for you! You want out so bad? Go be a mail order bride. That poor sap is lookin’ to get hitched. Maybe that’s the life for ya—marryin’ a stranger instead of staying with yer family.”

Humanity is on the brink of war—a war which threatens to destroy human kind, and yet they remain blissfully unaware.

Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there.
