When Kenna Sutton is tasked with driving home newly returned Beck “True Blue” Collier, she expects the strategic Army mastermind to be a pasty number cruncher.

Outraged by Beck’s lack of a welcome home after seven long years overseas, Kenna takes matters into her own hands, giving Beck something he’s only ever fantasized about in his bunk. Beck has never shied away from a test of will and Kenna gives new meaning to the word challenge. One problem? Kenna’s father is the lieutenant general presenting Beck with the Silver Star and Beck is determined to treat Kenna with the respect she deserves, even if her eyes beg Beck to act out his most secret desires with her. Desires he''s always been told were the work of the devil. But how long can one lonely, starving man hope to resist the woman he craves?

Cullen Brooks was given the job of babysitting Huntley when her brother—his best friend—deployed. But their friendly coffeehouse hangouts and TV marathons leave her wanting more. When one crazy night leads to too many drinks and an explosion of long-denied lust, Huntley''s dreams become a reality. And reality is one hot, wild place she never wants to leave. But only a good girl can bring down a bad boy... Known as Sullen Cullen around Black Rock, Cullen Brooks doesn’t have many friends, but Huntley is one of them ... and despite his decidedly unfriendly fantasies of the curvy blonde, she is far too sweet for his darker tastes.

Tutto quello che desidera Taylor, una giovane insegnante annoiata da giornate sempre uguali e senza sorprese, è trascorrere una vacanza esclusiva nella soleggiata Cape Cod insieme al fratello Jude, con in testa un unico pensiero: l''abbronzatura. Certo, non può immaginare che a pochi minuti dal suo arrivo nella villa da sogno che ha affittato (e che, nota bene, le è costata anni di faticosi risparmi) incapperà in un cadavere con un proiettile conficcato in fronte. No, questo non è decisamente nei piani. Né lo è ritrovarsi tra i piedi Myles, un rozzo ex detective e ora cacciatore di taglie, assoldato dalla sorella del morto per fare luce sull''omicidio e possibilmente catturare l''assassino. Uno talmente pieno di sé da rifiutare, con aria infastidita, la gentile offerta di Taylor di dare una mano a risolvere il caso. Un atteggiamento inaccettabile, perché prima di tutto lei non è disposta a ricevere un no come risposta, inoltre ne sa a bizzeffe di omicidi visto che ha passato un''infinità di ore ad ascoltare podcast true crime. E poi, chi meglio di una maestra di seconda elementare sopravvissuta all''insegnamento in tempi di pandemia può districare situazioni complesse al limite dell''impossibile? Dopotutto, forse, la vacanza di Taylor non è rovinata come sembra. Anzi, chissà?, questa piccola deviazione rispetto ai programmi potrebbe portarle persino qualcosa di più interessante (ed eccitante?) del previsto, quel brivido che le manca da molto, troppo tempo nella vita.
