-Victoria Colby of the Colby Agency to Rachel Larson, desperate mother
She'd heard his heart was as hard as his honed body and as cold as the steel of his gun. But the man called Sloan was Rachel Larson's last hope. She had nowhere left to hide from her son's father-a cold-blooded assassin, and Sloan's deadliest enemy. So she would face this lone wolf in his lair and plead for his help... .
Ex-agent Sloan lived only to take down the man who'd killed all he loved. Now a desperate, desirable woman offered him that chance on a silver platter. Vengeance was his-if he could keep Rachel and her son from invading the fortress around his heart....
No one could find special agent Jack Raine if he didn't want to be found. So who was the beautiful amnesiac on his doorstep, and how had she gotten to his hideaway? When a killer soon followed, Jack suspected a trap-so he took the lady and ran...
"Kate" couldn't remember her own name, but she wanted the strong and silent Jack Raine the moment she saw him. Even as a slow heat burned between them, Kate knew she risked falling for this stranger who'd saved her life-a man her flashes of memory suggested she might have been sent to capture...
HE'D BEEN FULLY PREPARED TO GIVE HIS LIFE TO PROTECT HERS.
And that's what it had almost cost bodyguard Nick Foster. Laura Proctor was more than a job to Nick–and they had unfinished business. For two years Laura was suspected dead. Nick hadn't believed it. But he also couldn't believe she'd had a baby in that time…with anyone else but him. Laura would trust Nick with her life, but not with her secret. And she wouldn't go back to Jackson, Mississippi, with him and leave her child in the hands of a kidnapper. Somehow she had to convince Nick that her baby was missing, but that the child wasn't his. Because the closer he got to the truth, the more danger would come to them all.

Now Nicole needs the help of the man she had once betrayed in order to stay alive. Only this time, would that all-consuming passion cause Nicole and Ian's demise?

THE MISSION: DADDY–TO A SECRET BABY?
Court Brody knew his assignment to infiltrate a secret militia organization didn't allow for any mistakes. But the stakes became higher when he found himself faced with Sabrina Korbett–his former flame who'd stumbled into the wrong place at the worst possible moment. Working undercover, he had to keep his distance and his agenda hidden from the one woman he'd always loved. Then he discovered her secret–she'd never told him he was a father. Although he'd missed his baby's birth, Court vowed to be there for his toddler son forevermore. But with his cover nearly blown, could Court survive long enough to keep his family out of harm's way?
The mission was always top priority for a Specialist–except this assignment was personal for agent Vince Ferrelli. Though anyone would be hard-pressed to find a tougher operative, Vince had one vulnerability…Katrina Moore.
"Kat" had been fitted with a new memory implant to protect her identity while undercover. But the device had malfunctioned and put her in serious jeopardy. Only Vince could extract her from the demented organization…if she remembered the love she'd shared with Vince–and not the truth.
But pretending that they were a passionate couple would be torture for Vince. Because he still loved Kat. And he sure hoped she wouldn't kill him when this case was closed!
Former military intelligence officer Noah Drake exiled himself to a small island off the coast of Georgia after the side effects of an untested drug destroyed his body's tolerance to light. But because of his sacrifice, he brought down a dangerous traitor.
Now, five years later, Noah's adversary is back to settle the score. The man moved as stealthily as a shadow, but Specialist Maggie "Blue" Callahan had her assignment–to protect Noah at all costs. And no matter how much Noah protested, she would carry it out. Except that was becoming increasingly difficult with the seductive siren call of the night. Would its inexorable rhythm sentence them both to the all-consuming darkness?
Specialist John Logan was dedicated to duty–the mission always top priority–and he'd do anything to carry out an assignment. Even if it meant posing as the unthinkable: husband to the newly "recruited" Erin Bailey….
He'd shown up in the middle of the night and offered Erin her freedom if she'd pose as his wife to catch an insidious drug lord/arms dealer. Except, given the compromising position she found herself in as victim of a frame-up, Erin was totally at the mercy of her "guardian" as an untrained, stand-in agent. All she had to do was assume someone else's identity, learn the ins and outs of weaponry and share a bed with her dangerously attractive "husband," John Logan. And if she came out of this with her life intact, she'd surely lose her heart in the process!
When all else fails, the most highly trained, covert agents are called in to "recover" the mission. This elite group is known as "Specialists". Nothing is too dangerous for them…except falling in love.
