GUARDING COLTON’S WITNESS
by Sandra Owens

A past tragedy taught social worker Matti Colton to maintain a professional distance with the kids she rescues. But when 6-year-old Sam is shot after his parents’ disappearance, Dr. Ryan Palmer enters her life… and forces her to start questioning her strict boundaries. Together they give the traumatized boy a sense of security. When it becomes evident the child is being stalked by killers, the two team up to guard him from danger. And the wall Matti’s built around her heart begins to crumble.  Now they’ll do whatever it takes to protect Sam… and each other.

LEGACY OF JUSTICE
by Kenna Scott

When Detective Bex Pierce and her team stumble upon hidden bodies at a fire scene, it’s a warning that the stakes to save a missing girl are higher than anyone imagined. And to her surprise, Bex’s own teenage trauma suddenly takes center stage. As firefighter Trey Allen is drawn in, he becomes engulfed by the race against time and an attraction to Bex more incendiary than any fire he’s encountered. Joining forces is the only way to fight for the victims… for their town… and for one another.

PRIVATE BODYGUARD
by Veronica Forand 

Security operative Meaghan Knight holds a grudge against tech billionaire Quinn Martinsson—she blames her brother’s breakdown on Quinn’s abandonment of him during their college years. When she’s assigned to be Quinn’s bodyguard, her hostility compels him to fire her. But when she foils an attack on his life, he realizes his mistake and insists on rehiring her, trying to ignore the fact that he’s never gotten over his college crush on Meaghan. And now, despite her animosity, Meaghan can’t deny her attraction to the tech titan.  Can the two overcome their history to save Quinn from disaster?

HER UNDERCOVER PROTECTOR
by Kayla Perrin

Bodyguard Griffin Woodward’s latest assignment, posing as newly appointed CEO Dahlia Mondale’s assistant, is far from simple. Not only is Dahlia’s company under public scrutiny, the heiress believes her father has been murdered. When Dahlia’s life is threatened, Griffin springs into action, protecting her at any cost. There are past traumas Dahlia can’t escape, but the former Navy SEAL is determined to keep the woman he is falling in love with safe… and to bring a criminal to justice.
