An impossible situation until six years later when he comes face to face with the woman of his dreams...as his next NCIS case. Jenna's thrown back into a volatile situation with Austin, only this time they are free to explore a relationship, but was there really a spark there in the past or was it all about the adrenaline rush of danger.

Who wants her dead…

Special Agent Austin Beck, out of the San Diego, California NCIS Office is sent to speak to an events coordinator who witnessed the murder of her sister who was a Blue Angels pilot. Her sister was just assigned to the all-male team and was scheduled to fly with them the next day. Austin is shocked to find out the witness is Jena Webb. The last time he saw her, he was a marine guard for the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait where there was a hostile takeover. Only she’d been married and he’d been engaged. They had spent three harrowing days together and he’d almost lost his life protecting her. Now she’s the target of a killer and Austin is assigned to protect her once again. He struggles to remain neutral, at least as long as the case is active—professionally, he’s duty bound to her safety and had to be his number one priority, but privately he wonders if what they felt was heightened by the very real threat of death, nothing but a consequence of their harrowing experience.

Jenna Webb never thought she’d see Austin again. During those three days they were together, there was a strong attraction that she fought. Once she got home with her diplomat husband who is ten years her senior, their relationship wasn’t the same. She felt guilty over the fact that she couldn’t forget Austin and ached for what could have been if only they’d been free. Now after meeting him again, Jenna fears exploring their attraction, unwilling to confess her feelings and risking that, not only didn’t he feel the same way, but that what she experienced was more about the traumatic events than it was about a genuine and promising connection.

GUIDING KINLEY IS RELEASED!

OUT NOW!


Once burned, twice shy. For NCIS Special Agent Beau Jerrott, he'd felt the heartache of lost love in his past and he'd never wanted to face that kind of pain again. So adopting a laissez les bon temps rouler attitude when it came to women was the easy part, but when he meets CGIS Special Agent Kinley Cooper, there was something more in the good times rolling with her and everything to do with romance and refusing to fall in love got hard. For Kinley, she'd fallen under the spell of a partner before and he betrayed her in both trust and the job. She was left holding the bag and her punishment was losing credibility with her agency, a reprimand that was on her permanent record, leaving her wary of going down that road again. From the moment they meet, the chemistry is sizzling and neither of them can resist the other, leaving them both more to lose than the lives they put on the line to discover why a Coast Cutter was abandoned on the Norfolk tide with six bodies aboard, none of them Coast Guard members. The investigation would take them to the Bahamas and Cuba to weed out all the clues, putting them in even more danger. All they'll have is each other as they struggle to survive and hope for a future where they could be together.

Ethan had no idea why Lawson Edwards was so guarded or why she looked like she was running.

But when Lawson comes into town for a temporary stay, he knows she's in trouble. His warrior instincts kick in and all he wants to do is shelter her.

Staying in one place too long wasn’t safe. But when Ethan Fairchild finds her after she faints from hunger, she just can’t shake him. He’s solid and strong, caring and protective.
