COLTON’S PRIVATE SECURITY
by Lisa Childs

Since leaving the military, Mark Colton’s work as a bodyguard has satisfied his need for travel and adventure. He’s on a rare visit back home when a dangerous criminal takes a nurse hostage. That nurse is Cassidy Garner, his high school sweetheart, and seeing her in the grasp of an armed villain makes his well-honed instincts kick in. After this close call, he’s determined to keep her safe—even if that means ignoring the once-in-a-lifetime attraction they both still feel. But what if it’s his past that’s putting her in danger?

UNDERCOVER SABOTAGE 
by Kacy Cross

As heir to her aunt Greta’s vineyard, Samantha Wagner, a take-charge executive, is sure she has the smarts to run Wagner Wines. She just hadn’t counted on ex-Texas Ranger Dean Carter investigating her aunt’s death as suspicious. Though both prefer to operate solo, the designer-clad business pro and the sexy loner cowboy pose as a couple to probe a possible murder. But as sabotage mounts and secrets emerge, Carter and Samantha try to resist emotional entanglement. Will the former ranger abandon his mission to protect Samantha from the killer’s sights? 

STALKED IN WEST TEXAS
by Karen Whiddon

Discovering that the buyer for her farm is her favorite author thrills Cassie Denton. Pierce Spade has even agreed to let her remain there until she sets up her new bakery. However, sharing space with someone as irresistible as Pierce is complicated. Especially when she discovers he’s there to hide from a murderous stalker. With Pierce unlikely to stay once the killer’s captured, they try to suppress their powerful mutual attraction. But with danger pursuing them, their need to protect each other only intensifies their feelings.

LETHAL BETRAYAL
by Kimberly Van Meter

When a body with a cold-case victim’s name written on it is discovered, FBI Agent Sophia Bennett teams up with Agent Noah Thunderhawk, Bureau of Indian Affairs, to investigate the crime. The evidence—and Sophia—challenges Noah’s faith in the reservation elders. How could one of his own be complicit? But as tension—and undeniable attraction—rise, dangerous patterns emerge. Missing girls…a trafficking network…the wall of silence they keep hitting…. Someone high up is murdering to keep their secrets. And Noah and Sophia are in their crosshairs.
