COLTON’S INFERNO
by Jennifer D. Bokal 

Aiden Colton’s instantly captivated by resourceful rancher Lucy Harris, who will do just about anything to keep the home she loves. But when Aiden stumbles on Lucy left for dead in a structure set aflame, the firefighter’s personal attraction becomes a quest for justice—and truth.  Is someone so intent on claiming the Harris family’s homestead that they’ll stop at nothing, even murder? Aiden might be the only thing standing between Lucy and ruin… but the flames burning between them are hotter than any fire they’re facing.

SECRETS SHE KEPT
by Katherine Garbera

Van Price takes his bodyguard occupation very seriously…and wishes his new assignment did as well. Heiress Alexis Goddard doesn’t believe she needs Van’s protection, until she’s almost abducted in broad daylight. Whisking her away to a secluded location, Van dares trust no one, especially his reluctant client’s secretive family. But despite the beauty’s bad first impression, Van soon realizes Alexis is a woman who deserves his utmost protection. With the enemy getting closer, Van’s one and only goal is keeping the woman he cares about alive. 

COVERT SECURITY
by Lisa Childs

Hell has frozen over! Because Viktor Lagransky, the son of a former mafia assassin, is the only person who believes officer Sheila Carlson’s ambush was orchestrated by one of her police colleagues. Viktor is trying to be the best bodyguard the Payne Protection Agency has ever seen—even if the stubborn cop doubts his true motives. But when her questions about her dad’s unsolved murder leads to a new string of attacks against her, she has no choice but to trust the former bad boy she’s always been attracted to. If only her attacker—and Viktor’s own family secrets—didn’t threaten their unexpected partnership…

FINAL WITNESS
by Kimberly Van Meter

Opening a time capsule is like opening Pandora’s Box for BIA agent Nizhoni Gray. It yields evidence of her best friend’s murder­­­­—a cold case that’s traumatized and haunted her for decades. Partnering with FBI Agent Aiden Erikson to investigate, the strong-willed Nizhoni senses a kindred soul. They must race against a killer systematically eliminating witnesses to the teen’s murder…while their mutual attraction risks professional danger. But uncovering a deadly conspiracy and a shocking betrayal won’t hinder their digging…though the truth could upend their lives forever.
