The doctors claimed he would never truly heal, never return to the Marine recon team he'd led and loved. But they'd never met nurse Paige Black. Somehow her determined spirit filled Thane with the will to live, the courage to hope.

But what was it that drove this quiet Navajo beauty to stand by his side--and ultimately, to share his bed? Could it be Paige held for him the very feelings he'd long fought against? The kind of powerful love that could destroy his loner vow?

A measure of love...

That was what Rafe Kincaid offered her. Yet Jessie knew it wasn't enough –– for either of them.

She'd come to protect the wild horses that roamed his land. But one look at the proud, defiant rancher was enough to warn her – it was her heart that was in danger. Rafe had lost love once to tragedy, and Jessie feared she could never persuade him to take that chance again. Or could she? Could their passion convince him to abandon the past...before history repeated itself?

In the line of fire...

Operation Shadow Warriors. An ongoing U.S. military experiment to test the integration of trained female military operatives in live combat scenarios...

The Alpha Platoon. A unit of Navy SEALs stationed in the unforgiving dryness of Afghanistan... who just learned that their newest team member is a woman. But Bay Thorn has a spine of steel – and the chops to prove it. Without a team to back her up, however, she's dead in the water. And her only ally is Gabe Griffin, a lone SEAL who is lethal, dangerous, and unbearably attractive...

Between the open hostility from her team and the harsh Al Qaeda territory, Gabe is a lifeline for Bay. But mutual respect quickly grows into mutual attraction. And with each day and every assignment, the longing only deepens.

They mustn't speak of it. Mustn't act on it. Because in this line of work, falling in love can get you killed...

As a reputable horse trainer, Dany couldn't honor the contract her ex–husband had made with Sam Reese. It was ludicrous to hope that a feisty stallion raised in a herd of wild mustangs could ever compete as a Grand Prix jumper. Yet the devastatingly handsome owner offered Dany a chance to save her ranch––if she would share his impetuous dream. And with one glance, his steely gaze chased the clouds of doubt from her mind.

Throwing caution to the wind, she agreed to ride the stallion for the promise of love, and for the man who made her respond to him with unbridled abandon.

One tragic decision dashed Rachel Carson's plans and made her scared of her own shadow. Now on the run, she must forever give up the hope of love or a baby. But with her new identity, she can help care for a motherless little girl left in the protection of handsome Sheriff Cade Garner. As tough as his Wyoming mountains, Cade takes his responsibilities seriously. He will do whatever is necessary to protect baby Jenny and give her the life she should have had. But his sharp instincts tell him something is up with the mysterious nanny who swept into their lives. The alluring blonde has roused his senses...and his heart. He knows he can protect both Rachel and the baby, if only Rachel will dare to trust again.

A couple's future is under fire in New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Lindsay McKenna's Shadow Warriors miniseries.

When her Black Hawk helicopter is shot down in Afghanistan, Army medivac pilot Sarah Benson does what she must to survive. Hiding by day and hiking through the mountains by night, Sarah manages to save a mother and daughter before being taken captive. Even then she fights. She has to get back to the base–and to the man she loves.

Once Ethan Quinn learns that Sarah has survived the crash, he refuses to stop until he finds her, though the battle–hardened Navy SEAL knows the odds are against him. For him, it's more than a matter of courage–it's their future he is fighting for.

The moment she stepped into the echoing silence of Hangar 13, Ellie O'Gentry knew herself to be in the presence of an entity of breathtaking power--a presence so terrible, she doubted that even the mystic gifts bequeathed by her ancestors could lay it to rest.

She knew, too, how difficult it was for a combat-hardened fighter pilot like Major Mac Stanford, a man who placed his faith in refined technology and raw courage, to recognize the limits of his powers--and ask for guidance of a Cherokee medicine shaman.

But some things simply could not be denied. Like the evil spirit gathering strength in Hangar 13--and the stunning passion flaring between Ellie and this modern-day warrior....

Jim Tremain watched the magnificent bird soar through the air and land on Dahlia Kincaid's gloved arm. The eagle was, stunning, but Dahlia was the most breathtaking woman he'd ever seen. Would this beautiful ornithologist allow him to headquarter his search for an international poaching ring on her Colorado ranch?

Jim reminded Dahlia of Nar, her golden eagle: he was dangerous, powerful, gloriously masculine. But Jim Tremain wasn't the predator he'd first seemed. His eyes contained kindness and understanding. Could she risk her heart–with everything to lose, but so much to gain?

Captain Nike Alexander is in Afghanistan for one reason only – to use her pilot skills. She doesn't have time for men, especially military men. Playing hard to get with Captain Gavin Jackson comes as naturally to Nike as flying one of her Apaches. But Gavin's sexy-as-sin smile is making it harder and harder to say no.

All he needed was a guide through the perilous Peruvian jungle. What he got was Lieutenant Cortina. Ana Lucia Cortina--a strong, sensual female soldier who outraged Jake's military machismo. Worse, gunfire and the hot tropical sun detonated desire, and Jake thirsted for completion in Ana's arms.

But with danger dead ahead, proud Jake suddenly knew fear: Could he save his sister, survive this mission--and make this magnificent woman warrior his wife?

From Shadow Warrior…to hostage 

Despite her sweet nature, Navy medic Bay Thorn's will is unbreakable. It has earned her not only the respect of her team, but also the love of Navy SEAL Gabe Griffin. And as soon as she wraps up the final six months of Operation Shadow Warriors in Afghanistan, she'll have her happily ever after…. 

Until her deployment goes horribly wrong. 

Bay's medical expertise is needed by the Taliban, and she is taken hostage. Her captor is ruthless and cruel, and Bay isn't exempt from his evil intents. All that's left now is her resolve and the too–distant memory of Gabe–her last and only hope for rescue. And to pull Bay from hell, this SEAL will have to break every rule in the book. But will Gabe find the woman he loves…or a woman broken beyond recognition?

A fresh start – that's all Devorah McGuire wants. As a former Marine and current Ranger with the US Forest Service, she's grown accustomed to keeping others safe.
