A Romantic Suspense Collection

From a quiet small town, to the bright lights of the midway, these stories deliver heart-pounding suspense and the kind of love forged under fire.

HAIL MARY 

Winner, Romance Writers of America's Vivian Award 

A broken lawman.  A wary heart.  And a killer hiding in plain sight.

Wynn Owens has no faith in the law—especially not the sharp-eyed new sheriff standing on her porch with a crazy theory about one of her elderly tenants and a local bank heist. Wynn has a dark history with authority and zero interest in helping a man who represents everything she despises.

Ex-DEA agent Beau Greystone isn't particularly thrilled, either. Thanks to his meddling aunt, he's now charged with safeguarding an entire town. Still reeling from the murder of his wife–and struggling to deal with a debilitating injury–Beau's pretty sure he's not up to the task. Injured, impatient, surly even on his best days, he isn't exactly Mayberry material. But the people of Blossom Hills are counting on him, and bringing a bank robber to justice seems like a good place to start…until the killer who once haunted the town abruptly returns. 

Wynn is determined to clear her tenant's name. Beau has a killer to catch. Neither expects the charged, unwelcome pull between them—or the twisted path that will upend everything they thought they knew. To survive the coming storm they will have to decide: adapt and evolve, or surrender to the past and the dark malevolence that has risen within it…

IN PLAIN SIGHT 

A weary ex-soldier.  A doubting heart.  And the girl who needs them both.

Ex-Army Ranger Rye Wilder lives by one rule: protect what matters, no matter the cost. So when his old Army buddy, FBI Special Agent Max Prescott, calls in a favor, Rye doesn't hesitate—even if it means coming face-to-face with the sister Max abandoned, a woman whose photo Rye has never forgotten.

Fiona has spent the last decade building a good life with the carnival, far removed from her brother's callous desertion. So when Max suddenly resurfaces seeking refuge for a young murder witness, Fi has no problem telling him to pound sand—until he reveals the terrified girl he's vowed to protect.  And despite the wreckage between them, Fi won't turn her back on a child–even if offering shelter means risking what she's built.  

Because nothing is off the table.  Someone inside the Bureau is leaking information.  People are dying.  And a vicious killer is closing in.  Forced into an uneasy alliance, Fi and Rye must outmaneuver a ruthless enemy while navigating the wreckage of old wounds and unexpected desire.  To save Max's young witness, they'll have to stand together.

And to survive what's coming, they'll have to risk everything.

THE GETAWAY 

She'll risk everything to save them. He'll risk everything to save her.

Lucia Sanchez has stolen two children. Two children not her own; two children she will do anything to save.   Haunted by a past she can't outrun, she will stop at nothing to ensure they escape the nightmare she once lived. 

U.S. Deputy Marshal Sam Steele is running on fumes. The last thing he wants is another case–especially a fugitive kidnapper on the lam with two young kids. But when a trusted friend asks for help, Sam can't walk away. Not even when the line between right and wrong begins to blur.

Lucia is prepared to die for her cause. Sam just wants to keep everyone alive.  As they're thrust into a deadly pursuit, protecting two innocent children from a legacy of violence—and the man who will stop at nothing to reclaim them–becomes paramount. 

Because only one side will emerge the victor…
