Coming to a womans rescue was all in a days work for the billionaire rancher. Little did Matt know that the woman in jeopardy hed jumped off his horse to save was working undercover, investigating him. By way of his mother, no less! Trouble had never looked so good to Shelly Lane. Exposing the Collingsworths was a golden opportunity to prove she had what it took to be a real agent.

Jonah Fairfax claimed it was the only way he could keep her safe from the terrorist cell hed infiltrated. Chelsea didnt trust his secretive past, or his steely blue eyes.

The woman hed kept tabs on with a fake online romance. He was convinced she was the key -- till he met her. Gabby was blind. But when the madman upped the ante, vowing to detonate a bomb at dawn, Ty needed her. She knew the city, the trail he had to follow. Drawn to her, he promised to keep her safe. But when the time came, would he follow his heart -- or his duty?

Rebecca suddenly forgot shed been in town to finally get divorce papers signed. All she could focus on was little Jesse, her adorable boy who was afraid of the dark, taken by a vengeful madman. Ethan had saved people all over the world on his secret missions, but could he save their son?

From one secret mission to another hed stared down danger until the blackout hit Boston, and Chases only love became the target of revenge. Lily Garrett, the woman hed loved and walked away from eight months ago. Finding her wasnt difficult; finding her pregnant was. Lily had always hated Chases secret, dangerous life, but now, on the run in a dark city, Chase knew he was her only hope for survival. And their babys.

But when a series of deadly fires blazed through the city, Detective Bradford Walsh really felt the heat. With temperatures rising, he had to catch the arsonist before the city was reduced to a pile of cinders. An attraction burning out of control ... On the hunt for a killer, all roads led to one woman: Rosanna Redhill. The fires seemed to target the elusive beauty, and Bradford had to know why. But he couldnt let Rosannas smoldering glances distract him from his investigation. Because then hed have another fire to extinguish ... one that threatened to send them both up in flames. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=741009 It would just figure! Eve Bailey would have the rotten luck to drop in on a body and a thirty-year-old mystery. And darn it all, Carter Jackson would be the sheriff determined to take on the cold case--and Eve. In high school he had been one tall drink of water, and nothing had changed--not his smoldering eyes, his cowboy swagger, or the way Eve felt about him. The Whitehorse sewing circle would surely be putting in overtime quilting sessions down at the community center, speculating whether Eve and Carter would have a second chance. But gossip was the least of Eves problems. One of their own was desperate to keep local secrets buried deep in the Montana mountains. There would be an old-fashioned showdown when the truth was revealed ... and anyone could get caught in the crossfire. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=758271 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=718224 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=740607 Brand Gallagher was on an undercover mission to bring down the Castellano crime syndicate and avenge his brothers death. Yet when he was ordered to kill Lily Raines--unlucky juror no. 7--the tough lawman knew he couldnt break his oath to serve and protect. But compromising his long-standing cover as a mob associate would surely get them both killed. Though they were little more than strangers, something about Lily demanded he offer his protection. Now on the run from the mob and the law, Brand was about to break the cardinal rule of law enforcement by involving his heart. Only, revealing his true identity to Lily suddenly seemed an even greater risk ... http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=718185 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=718204 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=763909 Twelve nights and counting down to Christmas ...
