PROTECTIVE WARRIOR

by Janie Crouch

Psychologist Sarah Peterson is proud of her work with traumatized veterans. She knows how to handle PTSD—even when it’s her own. Her boss, Lawson Davies, isn’t so sure. The former CIA operative wants her to take some time off. His insistence that she get away only intensifies when a crime boss who’s trafficking women threatens revenge on everyone at Warrior Peak Sanctuary. Are Lawson’s motives purely professional, or is his desire to keep Sarah out of harm’s way motivated by the irresistible connection they share?

CUSTODY IN THE CROSSHAIRS
by Barb Han

Child Protective Services agent Carys Aldric is caught between doing what’s right and following protocol. Especially when it comes to rancher Blaize Wilde, the potential father of an orphaned baby, and hopefully the kind of man worth breaking the rules for. But unravelling the web of deception surrounding Blaize’s connection to the baby puts them straight in the line of fire, dodging bullets and searching for safety. Danger closes in from a past that refuses to stay buried—and a mystery mother who may have secrets of her own.

DEADLY FAMILY SECRETS
by K.D. Richards

Police Chief Tyson Morrow takes his job keeping the peace seriously. So when Olivia Lowell arrives in town, asking uncomfortable questions to find her birth parents, he’s worried it will stir up trouble. But that doesn’t mean he won’t find out who she really is. Working together, he realizes unlocking her past is the key to solving a long abandoned cold case. Then Olivia is attacked and he’s left facing the truth of his feelings—about her and about his town. Because the secrets are coming to light, one way or another…
