NOW RECRUITING: THE COLBY AGENCY
Todd Thompson had been given the greatest opportunity of his new career: a chance for a permanent position at the prestigious Colby Agency. His assignment: to locate a prominent geneticist's missing pregnant wife. Trouble was, working side by side with Serena Blake - the brainy beauty who suspected foul play - provoked certain feelings Todd couldn't ignore.
And when a series of mysterious incidents put Serena in jeopardy, Todd vowed he'd stop at nothing to keep her safe.... But now, as the danger escalated around them, the hunt for a sinister criminal threatened to resurrect long-buried secrets of the past that could threaten Todd and Serena's future forever...
When a confidential file was stolen from the prestigious Colby Agency, it was A. J. Braddock's mission to retrieve it.
His assignment: locate Gabrielle Jordan, the enigmatic woman who'd vanished with it. Except he never expected to find her hiding out in Mexico, safeguarding two boys - the victims of a failed kidnapping plot. But Gabrielle's fierce tenderness toward the youngsters stirred the ex-military man's own protective instincts.
... Now, forced to rely on each other to stay alive, neither could resist the passion that simmered between them - leaving A.J. torn between duty and desire...
Who ever heard of a deaf detective?
A year ago, my dream had seemed impossible. But I, Merri Walters, had used my lip-reading skill to bring down criminals and had scored a job with Metro Police. Earning my detective's badge took guts and nerve, which I had plenty of. Now a serial killer was on the loose, targeting beautiful, wannabe country stars, and I was lead on the hottest case in town.
To complicate matters, the man I lusted after was now my boss, and his overprotectiveness was cramping my style. Still, no one could have predicted that I'd become the killer's next target-or that my supposed weakness would be the weapon I needed to survive....
Golden boy Brad Gibson never expected his climb up the corporate ladder would involve dodging bullets. But after he discovered corruption at a leading financial firm, someone wanted his head. Even worse, he feared he was about to lose an exciting opportunity to join the Colby Agency.
Now on Christmas Eve he was locked inside a skyscraper equipped with a state-of-the-art security system alongside Colby receptionist Elaine Younger, a doe-eyed beauty not to be underestimated. But with four masked men intent on bringing the agency to its knees, it was going to be a long night of gunfire and dangling mistletoe before Christmas dawned on the most dangerous couple in Chicago.
Could Jolie Randolph be losing her mind? That would explain why the typically focused bank executive had discovered inconsistencies in her usually meticulous work, totally forgotten a business trip and woken up naked in a stranger's bed! Jolie was coming undone and under investigation by the disarmingly handsome Simon Ruhl.
But would he bed her or book her?
Undercover Colby agent Simon Ruhl had his sights set on Jolie for more than one reason. She was suspected in a money-laundering scheme and she was clearly being set up. Simon was duty bound to protect Jolie from an unknown threat while surreptitiously proving her innocence-all before he went totally insane with desire for her.
Ashley Orrick would protect her son at all costs. But escaping her all-powerful ex, whose infinite resources seemed almost impossible to elude, was one thing–shaking Victoria Colby-Camp and her exceptional agents was another.
Keith Devers had finally made the leap from analyst to investigator only to be presented with a conflict of interest. Something didn't add up about Ashley. Was it her long scarlet hair or emerald-green eyes…? More than that, it was her maternal ferocity that made Keith break all the rules. Because with this inheritance came a more costly price.
But fleeing from danger could only get them so far from the one thing they couldn't escape–runaway passions.
