EXPECTING ANSWERS

And Lexie Dawson wasn't talking. But somehow, some way, Jack Blade was going to get to the bottom of a confounding murder. The citizens of Cougar County deserved no less from their new police chief. And he'd get Lexie to talk, one way or another.

Then the rumours began running rampant. Was Lexie really pregnant and Jack the father–to–be? Lexie needed to keep quiet, but her silence was Jack's undoing. But when a mysterious organization that traded in the unspeakable came gunning for her, Jack would need every ounce of street smarts to save her life and his child's.

Mark Gerritsen was the type of man who defied expectations. Tall, dark and handsome he was also one of the finest counterterrorism experts in the nation. The kind of guy whose presence made grown women feel foolish. Even a no–nonsense agent like Beth Benedict wished that she'd put on lipstick that first morning they'd met .

Beth knew guys like Mark didn't exist, yet there he was, assigned to watch over her every inch. Better yet, he had a proposition. A biological weapon was in play, and he needed Beth to lure out the man that possessed it. Only Mark could give her the action she craved, and he promised to see that she came out unscathed. How could Beth say no, when this man was turning out to be so much more than she ever expected?

CALLING 911 WAS NOT AN OPTION

For Kelly Logan, staying one step ahead of the dangerous men whose ultimate goal was to keep her quiet no matter the cost seemed impossible on her own. Her only hope for survival rested on the strong, sinewy shoulders of investigator Nick Cavanaugh the one man she had sworn never to trust again.

Nick couldn't trust Kelly, but he owed her. And now she needed his help. He would protect her and clear her name, even if it meant facing their painful past a history of deception and betrayal. But as the danger around Nick and Kelly escalated, so did their explosive attraction. Could they be falling in love all over again? Would they live long enough to find out ?

The lone witness to her sister's brutal kidnapping, Jillian Sorenson was consumed with guilt and in over her head. Now it seemed the only way to be safely reunited with her sister was to join forces with ex–cop Rick Brady, the lead investigator on a similar cold case, with an old score to settle.

But tracking the treacherous kidnappers' imperceptible clues only intensified Jillian and Rick's supercharged connection. And as their partnership became increasingly personal, coming face–to–face with the dangerous men who had abducted her sister seemed like less of a risk than putting her faith in an all–too–handsome stranger.

ZEROING IN

Months after his wife had been brutally murdered, FBI profiler Alec Blade was on the desperate hunt to bring her murderer to justice. But after setting up residence in a sleepy Florida town, Alec made a startling discovery: The killer had a new target.

Now, promising artist Katie Carroll was in danger and Alec's honour demanded he offer his protection. But long days and nights spent with Katie soon proved a distraction he couldn't afford. Could Alec uncover a deranged madman's true identity before it was too late?
