Dimitri Raast and Megan Donaldson have a common enemy—the head of an organisation that specializes in human trafficking and sexual slavery. They have similar motivation—Dimitri’s sister was taken by the organisation, and Megan’s sister is threatened by it. They have the same goal—eliminate their enemy and save their sisters. Given they have so much in common, you would think working together would be a piece of cake. You would be wrong. While Dimitri brings skills and experience from years as a US Army Ranger to their partnership, Megan brings a background in failed career choices and an ability to cause trouble wherever she goes. Yet, even with so much at stake, Dimitri can’t resist Megan’s particular brand of crazy. She’s wild, she’s sexy and she’s fearless. An irresistible combination for a man who lives his life completely in control. Now, after almost a year with one all-consuming focus, Dimitri finds himself torn between rescuing his sister and protecting the woman he wants—from herself. Before she gets them both killed. less

Every woman needs a warrior at her back. There’s no hiding the fact that Julia Collins has issues. She’s shy to the point of trying to be invisible. She has OCD tendencies—breaking out in hives if she loses control of her environment. She finds it hard to talk to intimidating men, or more accurately, to any men. A fact that makes working as the office manager for Benson Security particularly difficult—the company is made up almost entirely of huge, intimidating, ex-military men... moreEvery woman needs a warrior at her back. There’s no hiding the fact that Julia Collins has issues. She’s shy to the point of trying to be invisible. She has OCD tendencies—breaking out in hives if she loses control of her environment. She finds it hard to talk to intimidating men, or more accurately, to any men. A fact that makes working as the office manager for Benson Security particularly difficult—the company is made up almost entirely of huge, intimidating, ex-military men. If she couldn’t communicate by email and texting, she wouldn’t be able to do her job at all. But none of the men affect her the way Joe Barone does. The ex-marine is everything Julia isn’t. He’s charming, confident, heroic and so sexy it hurts to look at him. There’s no way a man like Joe would be interested in a woman like Julia. And there’s definitely no way Julia could cope with him even if he was. For her sanity’s sake, there’s only one thing Julia can do when it comes to Joe Barone—hide. When Joe looks at Julia he doesn’t see her many issues. He sees something far more precious. He sees a woman who cares about everyone around her. A woman who is organised and capable of running any project she’s handed, right down to the most minute detail. He sees a woman who’s gorgeous and loving and smart and funny. A woman who needs someone to stand between her and the world. A woman who needs a warrior fighting in her corner. A woman who could need him. Joe knows that any guy who manages to get past Julia’s defenses, to the woman beneath, will have a treasure worth dying for—and he intends to be that man. All he needs is a chance, one tiny opening to show her she can trust him with all that she is. And that opening comes in the unexpected form of an adventure-seeking grandmother. When Julia’s grandmother gets arrested in South America, Julia has to step outside of her comfort zone to bring her home. Which means, dealing with authority figures in a totally different country and in a totally different language. A language she doesn’t speak. Fortunately for her, Joe is fluent in Spanish and more than happy to accompany Julia to Peru. Julia isn’t sure she’ll survive the long flight with Joe, let alone the time it takes to sort out her grandmother’s problems, but when they get to Lima, they discover things are much worse than her grandmother led them to believe. To get them all out of trouble, Julia is going to need a warrior at her side. less

These are the circumstances that led to Isobel Sinclair's latest stupid decision: 1. She was a teenage mum who (unknowingly!) went on to marry a criminal. 2. She's now divorced with two kids, a mountain of debt (courtesy of her criminal ex) and a minimum wage job. 3. A loan shark is after her to pay off her ex-husband's debt, only Isobel doesn't have any money to give him.  4. Desperation leads Isobel to sell the stolen goods she finds on the beach outside her house, rather than report the find to the police. 5. The people who lost their bounty have returned. 6. This time, they leave behind a body... At this point, any normal person would call the cops. But Isobel isn't normal. She's a single mum, with two kids to feed, and a leery loan shark breathing down her neck. The last thing she needs is the cops sending her to jail for fencing stolen goods. And that's the reason Isobel makes the stupidest decision of her life so far--she asks the most dangerous man she knows for help to deal with the body. Callum McKay has hardly been spotted since he moved to the tiny Scottish town of Arness, four months earlier. But rumours about him abound. Some say he was in the Special Forces and received a medical discharge after he stepped on a landmine. Others say he worked for an international security company, but they kicked him out after he got his team killed. Some folk believe he turned rogue and now only works with criminals. And there are those who are convinced he's a wanted man, hiding from the authorities. Whatever the story, everyone agrees on a few key things: Callum McKay is deadly, volatile and quite possibly suicidal. He's also Isobel's only hope. Callum is about to learn that even when you quit Benson Security, the team doesn't quit you! less
