Une précieuse mission, Rita Herron Lorsqu’un homme — grand, brun et charismatique, exactement comme on le lui a décrit — vient lui ouvrir la porte, Alanna se sent intensément soulagée. Enfin, elle a trouvé Eric Cadwell, l’homme qu’elle a payé pour assurer sa protection ! Enfin, après une folle cavale rythmée par l’angoisse et les larmes, elle va pouvoir se reposer. Simon, le bébé de quatre mois qu’elle a recueilli, sera en sécurité ici, à l’abri des criminels qui cherchent à l’enlever. Pourtant, quand son interlocuteur lui révèle s’appeler Cain Cadwell, c’est le choc. Son frère Eric vient d’être assassiné par ceux-là mêmes qui sont à sa poursuite, lui explique-t-il. Et il se trouve désormais face à un cruel dilemme : les renvoyer d’où ils viennent, Simon et elle, ou les faire entrer, au risque de se mettre lui-même en danger... Par une nuit d’orage, Kelsey Roberts Clayton Landry l’a kidnappée, en la menaçant d’une arme... Il s’est évadé de prison, lui a-t-il expliqué et, de gré ou de force, elle va devoir l’aider à prouver qu’on l’a condamné à tort et qu’il n’est pas l’assassin de sa femme. Alors, tandis qu’elle s’enfonce au cœur de l’orage, sous l’emprise de son ancien patron, c’est une tempête tout intérieure qui bouleverse Victoria DeSimone. Bien sûr, elle comprend le désespoir qui habite Clayton ! Bien sûr, elle voudrait croire qu’il n’est pas dangereux. Néanmoins, comment s’empêcher d’éprouver à ses côtés un sentiment croissant de peur ? À mesure que les heures passent, et même s’il est toujours aussi séduisant, Victoria sent bien que les années d’emprisonnement ont profondément changé Clayton. Aujourd’hui, elle se retrouve face à un homme qu’elle peine à reconnaître — presque étranger à celui qu’elle a pourtant tellement aimé, en secret, pendant des années...

Sinner or Savior? Jake Devereaux was a lot more than just a sexy, common thief…he was a wealthy one with a questionable M.O. Charisma clung to him—as did an airtight alibi, much to Ellie Tanner's dismay. A murder had been committed, and if Jake didn't do it, then Ellie was the prime suspect…and it didn't look as if she'd be home for Christmas. What Ellie needed was a Christmas miracle, a guardian angel to watch over her. But the darkly dangerous Devereaux hardly fit the mold…his soul-searing kisses were anything but angelic.

For Shelby, it was a smoke screen—one she clung to, knowing that detection would be disaster…especially if Dylan discovered that the child he searched for was his own.

Porter… Hell-bent on discovering how the body of her long-lost father came to be shored up in the walls of The Rose Tattoo, the last thing Tory Conway needed was J. D. Porter running interference.

J.D. was used to getting what he wanted from people, and he swore he'd use that skill to hunt down Tory's father's killer. But J.D. wanted much more than gratitude from his sassy blond bride—and hell if he was going to clue her in. She'd find out soon enough…if she survived to hear about it.

More Than One Man Had a Date With Destiny… Destiny Talbot, The Rose Tattoo's newest headliner, was head-turningly gorgeous, but her arresting allure brought on more than her share of suitors, including a Wesley Porter, the boss's sexy son. But a second suitor was also vying for her attention—one intent on wooing…and stalking her. As a man, Wesley understood all too well the passion his violet-eyed vixen could inspire. As a psychiatrist, he knew the dark mind of a stalker, and he was determined to protect her with the very body with which he loved her. But one thought haunted Wesley—who would have the last date with Destiny?

And now the brainy beauty had become a media-savvy serial killer’s next target. Even worse, Montana’s golden boy, the infuriatingly handsome—and very off-limits—anchorman, Chandler Landry, was the only one she could turn to for protection. Though a string of suspicious accidents proved Molly was in terrible danger, forging an intensely passionate relationship with Chandler seemed more frightening than being found by the madman who wanted her dead. But would Molly’s fleeting fifteen minutes of harrowing fame lead to a permanent future together with Chandler…or lead her straight to a killer?

But an affair, with secrets still between them, would be wrong. Even deadly.

THE ROSE TATTOO A MOTHER TO DIE FOR… Who would have thought that the search for Hannah Bailey's real mother could have turned so deadly? Certainly not Hannah.

The wrong man… Haley Jenkins's best friend, Claire, had the habit of picking Mr. Wrong—and it might have cost her her life. Claire was missing, last seen at the fertility clinic where she'd gone to conceive a much-wanted baby. And Haley wanted answers. The right time What she didn't want was Detective Dalton Ross, dark-haired, broad shouldered and absolutely convinced she and Claire were a pair of spoiled women playing at life. She also didn't want threats from her boss, ninety-degree heat and the knowledge that her biological clock was ticking just as loudly as Claire's had been. Dalton—and everything else that was happening to Haley—definitely wasn't what she wanted. But sometimes you get what you need.

THE ROSE TATTOO Everything was strangely familiar… …though somehow Kendall Butler recognized that The Rose Tattoo and some of her old friends weren't exactly the same. But the raven-haired hunk standing before her was definitely the man pictured in the locket she'd been admiring…just before everything went blank. Jonas Revell didn't know how she was, or how she'd suddenly appeared, and until he did, he planned to keep her close—even if she had to pose as his mail-order bride to stay that way. He was already accused of the murder of one woman—his bride of four hours—and it looked mighty suspicious that he'd found another so quickly…especially one who tempted him so much.
