She lost everything once…

Autumn Perez was just twenty-two when she witnessed a brutal murder and gave up her entire life to put the killer behind bars. A decade later, witness protection has her settled in picturesque Verona Bay, teaching art at the local high school. It’s a quiet life…until she’s caught up in another harrowing event and she worries that the US Marshals will try to move her again. But Autumn is done running—she’s built a life, has friends. And now she’s pregnant after an intense one-night stand with her sexy neighbor.

This time she’s not running…

Lincoln Jordan has been biding his time with Autumn, his talented, gorgeous neighbor. The attraction between them is undeniable, and after their one incredible night together he wants more. But she’s determined to keep him at arm’s length. When it becomes clear that someone wants her dead, he steps up to protect her. He needs to earn her trust, and fast. Because the enemy is closer than they ever imagined.

Even as he fights for their future…

With the world still rebuilding after massive dragon attacks, famous singer Star isn’t willing to rely on a stranger to protect her family—though dragon shifter Lachlan is difficult to resist. Something about him is strangely familiar, but she doesn’t understand why. He’s already helped Star rescue her sister from a recent abduction, but trust doesn’t come easy when his kind has nearly hunted her race to extinction. When her sister’s kidnapper launches another violent attack, Star has no choice but to accept Lachlan’s aid. But no matter that he’s stepped up to protect her, she’ll never allow the ancient Scottish dragon into her heart.

They’re bound by the past.

Lachlan lost the woman he was meant to mate millennia ago. Unable to live in a world without her, his pain drove him to hibernation. He never thought he would move on—until Star. He’s well aware the feisty shifter is his new destiny, so if tailing her to New Orleans is what he has to do to be near her, then so be it. When Star is attacked, Lachlan resolves to protect her at all costs. And he won’t have to do it alone. It will take Lachlan, his clansmen, and Star’s misfit band of friends to rain fiery vengeance down upon their enemy if she and her sister are to ever be truly free. Only then can he claim her and discover the shocking truth that lies buried in their past.

Sie war die eine, die entkommen konnte …

Vor acht Jahren musste Serenity Washington mitansehen, wie ihre Zwillingsschwester ermordet wurde. Nur mit viel Glück entging sie dem gleichen grausamen Schicksal, und nachdem der Mörder ihrer Schwester gefasst wurde, zog sie um und versuchte, ihr Leben weiterzuleben. Sie heiratete und gründete eine Familie, doch als ihr Ehemann unerwartet stirbt, kehrt sie an den letzten Ort zurück, an dem sie sich erinnert, glücklich gewesen zu sein – Verona Bay, Florida.

Doch jetzt, wo sie wieder zu Hause ist, fängt alles von vorne an …

Innerhalb weniger Monate nach ihrer Heimkehr erhält Serenity ein „Geschenk“ – ein Armband ihrer Schwester, das nach ihrem Tod nie gefunden wurde – zusammen mit einem verhöhnenden Brief. Mit schrecklicher Angst um sich und ihre kleine Tochter sucht sie Hilfe bei der Polizei, doch niemand kann nachweisen, dass die Geschenke, von denen immer mehr eintrudeln, mehr sind als nur ein kranker Streich. Und da der Mörder ihrer Schwester immer noch im Gefängnis sitzt, hat sie keine Ahnung, wer dahinterstecken könnte.

Also wendet sie sich an den einen Mann, von dem sie sich eigentlich fernhalten wollte …

Der ehemalige Marine Lucas Jordan schwärmt schon seit Langem für Serenity, aber die alleinerziehende Mutter hat mehr als deutlich gemacht, dass sie keine Beziehung will. Doch als sie ins Visier eines Wahnsinnigen gerät, ändert sich alles. Er wird bestimmt nicht still mitansehen, wie sie und ihre Tochter terrorisiert werden, und setzt alles daran, um sie zu beschützen. Zusammen stehen sie vor der unmöglichen Aufgabe, herauszufinden, wem sie vertrauen können, bevor sie dasselbe Schicksal wie Serenitys Schwester ereilt.

He thinks she’s out of his league.

Lyosha Makanov met Mila by chance, and now she’s all he thinks about. But the two couldn’t be more different, so Lyosha won’t go there. As a security expert, he skirts the law on the regular. Unlike Mila, the newest employee at Red Stone Security who spends her free time volunteering at an animal shelter. Despite his determination to stay away from her, when it becomes clear his past has come back to haunt him—and poses a threat to her—Lyosha immediately steps in. And he’ll cross any line to keep her safe.

But he can’t seem to walk away.

Mila met Lyosha when he brought in a half-starved, stray cat to the shelter she volunteers at. He tries to act tough—and okay, he is. He should be the last man she wants, but she loves his sexy tattoos, gruff demeanor, and that he has a marshmallow inside that only she gets to see. When someone threatens her, he’s convinced it’s linked to his past. He’s made it clear that he’ll protect her with his life—but he won’t give her his heart. Not when he blames himself for bringing danger to her doorstep. Except Mila isn’t the kind of woman who walks away from what she wants. And Lyosha finds himself unwilling to let her go without a fight.

To maintain her cover and keep her family off her back, they fake a relationship.

Having spent her whole life trying to prove she’s just as capable as her three older brothers, art retrieval expert Ivy Danger has landed the biggest gig of her career, one that will pay off the mortgage of the animal shelter she owns. That is, if she doesn’t die before finishing the job. Even if she locates the stolen art, the violent gang of thieves won’t give up their million-dollar payday without a fight. She has one person she can turn to for help—Nash Harris. Security expert, her brother’s best friend…and the gorgeous man of her fantasies who treats her like a kid sister. Not that she’d do anything about her attraction anyway—not when it would screw up her family dynamic if things went sideways between them.

Now it’s impossible to tell what’s real and what’s not.

Despite having known Ivy forever, “brotherly” is the last thing Nash feels for the sexy troublemaker. She’s it for him. The One. He’s known it for a while…but convincing Ivy is another matter. When they have to fake a relationship for her current job, things shift between them. They’ve worked together before, but she’s in over her head with this latest job. But before anything can come of it, he’ll have to keep her alive when she’s targeted by a dangerous group known for violent retaliation. Nash will do whatever it takes to keep her safe, to prove she can trust him—on the job, with her life, and with her heart.
