HE'D TAUGHT HER HOW TO KISS, HOW TO MAKE LOVE, HOW TO LOVE.

And then he'd broken her heart. So if it hadn't been for that pesky gunshot wound in her arm, Margo certainly wouldn't have found herself being held captive for her own good, of course, in his house, his bed, handcuffed to his gorgeous, naked body.

And her body wouldn't have betrayed her at his heated stare, his electric touch, his very presence. She'd still be hating Ryland Archard, instead of hating herself for wanting him, a man who was still too old for her, a jaded cop who kept a .38 Special in his breadbox and her heart and future in his hands.

HE COULD GO HEAD TO HEAD WITH THE DEVIL

But fortunately that wasn't going to be necessary. Because detective Jackson Ward, the New Orleans P.D.'s loose cannon – otherwise known as the chief's biggest pain in the butt this side of the Cabildo – was suddenly reassigned. To his home territory in Chicago. To clear the name of the chief's daughter in a murder mess so many layers deep that only someone connected could be trusted with the job....

When Sunni Blais was implicated in a mob–related murder, even she knew she needed some help, pronto. But how could it possibly come from the drop–dead gorgeous hunk who'd been dogging her every move since last week? Clearly, she was his target. The question was...what would he do with her once he had her?

Seductive memories of his beautiful wife Johanna haunted Adolf Merrick's every waking moment. Until the Onyxx operative came to Greece and discovered that the woman he'd loved, still loved the woman who'd supposedly perished in an explosion was very much alive.

For twenty years, Johanna had buried memories of her life with Merrick. She'd become someone else the only way she could survive. And now he'd found her. But how could she trust the former government assassin who'd so cruelly betrayed her? Yet once desire reignited, sweeping her back into harm's way, Johanna realized how much she'd risk for the man she'd never stopped loving.

This lazy little town in the Louisiana bayou country was never going to be the same at least, not if local bad boy Johnny Bernard had anything to do with it. He'd come back to turn up the heat on some of the town's most upstanding citizens the ones who'd sent him to prison for a crime he hadn't committed . But he hadn't counted on Nicole Chapman and another kind of heat altogether. The beautiful blonde with the shadowed past awoke a desire that flashed through him like summer lightning. But could their passion survive the secrets of the past secrets that could set this town on fire ?

Kristen Harris was desperate to uncover the truth about who she had been before her memory was stolen from her. Her search had led her to the New Orleans waterfront and the most compelling and perhaps the most dangerous man she could ever have imagined....

Blu Dufray seemed to know every dark and deadly secret from the French Quarter to the Louisiana bayou country and every way to stir a woman's deepest desires. And even as he helped her chase away the shadows shrouding her past, he was making her dream of a future in his arms....

But what if the truth of her past threatened this growing love and even their very lives...?

She didn't like the game, so she changed the rules

She had the moves no one could match

And that kept superspy Nadja Stefn alive on many an undercover assignment. Until one slip changed the game forever. It happened one icy cold night two spies on the run, holing up together the night Nadja wore red. They exchanged no names, and five years later Nadja still didn't know the identity of her child's father. But then she was chosen for a mission that paired her with her mystery lover.

When the assassin they're after kidnaps their daughter, Nadja faces a terrible choice: deliver her daughter's father to this vicious criminal or lose her child forever
