Publisher Description
INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
From New York Times bestselling authors Kat Martin, Rebecca Zanetti, and Alexandra Ivy come three interwoven stories of secrets, murder, and riveting suspense.
Three women. Three connected stories. Three bestselling authors.
As girls, they bonded over broken homes and growing up in foster care.
As women, they’re fighting for their lives, and loves, once more . . .
MERI
When Meriwether Jones takes her young daughter and runs from trouble in L.A., that trouble follows. By the time Meri reaches Spokane, she’s out of gas, money, and ideas. Luckily, ex-cop Ian Brodie hires her to help him with his father’s farmhouse, and they seem like the answer to each other’s prayers. But Meri is keeping a dangerous secret—and Ian is in danger of losing his heart . . .
MELANIE
That secret explodes when Melanie Cassidy spots two men trying to kidnap a young boy she tutors and responds by ramming them with her car. The last thing she expects is for the man she once loved, Detective Gray Hawkins, to appear and rescue them both. Now she has no choice but to trust him as they investigate the truth about a conspiracy of dirty, drug trafficking cops—and the truth about their relationship . . .
MICHELLE
After a rough youth, Michelle Peach was finally content in Portland—until two men broke into her home, threatened her, and sent her mentally unstable mom on a blackmail spree that Michelle has to stop. The last person Michelle wants to see is her ex, Evan Boldon, a former marine turned sheriff. But Evan misses the woman who walked away instead of letting him help years ago. This time he’s not asking permission; he’s going to put a stop to the trouble stalking Michelle and her friends—and win her heart for good.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The three novellas featured in this high-octane romantic suspense anthology form a captivating whole. Martin's "Against the Heart" introduces Meri Jones, a single mother working to keep her four-year-old daughter, Lily, safe from her abusive ex. Meri and Lily flee to Washington State, where Meri falls for private detective Ian Brodie. Zanetti's "Shaken" focuses on artist Michelle Peach, Meri's childhood friend from her time in foster care, as Michelle tries to stay one step ahead of her meth-addicted birth mother, Jayleen the woman who first brought Meri's ex into their lives and in the process reunites with her long-lost love, Marine-turned-sheriff Evan Boldon. Fellow former foster kid Melanie Cassidy steps into the spotlight in Ivy's "Echoes of the Past." When Melanie witnesses and foils a kidnapping, she becomes a target for several dirty cops and reconnects with her old flame Det. Gray Hawkins to root out the rogue actors. Remarkable tonal consistency and interlocking elements ensure that these twisty, sizzling love stories flow seamlessly together. Readers won't want to put this one down.

This book kept my interest. All 3 authors.
Great mix of stories!
I love trying out anthologies so that I can find new authors, and Kat Martin and Alexandra Ivy are new authors to me. I've read and loved Rebecca Zanetti, so I knew this anthology would be worth it just for her story alone.
I was happy to see Zanetti's characters are from one of her series that I am reading and loving right now. The best part is that the other two stories were equally as good. I'm so curious now what characters Kat Martin and Alexandra Ivy brought from their other series, that's me assuming they are not brand new characters.
Each story are the size of a novella and I think they all did a great job of making a short story feel like a completed book. I especially enjoyed how each story had common characters that flowed from the first to the last story. It made all three feel connected and like you were reading one book.
I'm looking forward to reading my new-to-me authors and thank you Rebecca Zanetti for giving me more of the Deep Ops series!
Trio
Great collection of short stories by three great authors. Each story is separate,yet connected. All three are very similar in feel, action and the love stories. All have Hea’s. These interconnect to the author’s other series.
