"THE DALTON BOYS ARE RIDING HARD…
The notorious Dalton Gang once ran wild through their home town of Crow Hill, Texas. Now they own the run-down Dalton Ranch—and they work hard to keep it up. But when the right women come along, they still know how to play hard too…
Casper Jayne turned his back on Crow Hill nearly 20 years ago for a career in the professional bull riding circuit. Now he’s back—and Faith Mitchell is having a tough time thinking about anything else. She’s had a crush on him since high school, when he was part of her brother’s gang—and off limits. Since then, Faith has learned not to take risks. And Casper’s reckless, hard-living ways are causing her to think twice about trying to make the fantasies she has for this powerfully physical man come true.
Casper said he’d wait for a sign—but Faith is determined not to give him the satisfaction. Then an unexpected encounter finally penetrates her reserve, and the two of them ignite an intense passion. Faith finds herself holding on for a wild ride that breaks all the rules. But when the hot affair burns out of control, Faith will have to learn to take the reins… "
"The infamous Dalton Gang was once known for riding—and playing—hard. Now, as owners of the Dalton Ranch in Crow Hill, Texas, they’re working from sunup to sundown. But one look from the right woman can tempt them back into the saddle…
When a walk on the wild side turned into a nightmare for Everly Grant, she escaped her abusive ex by taking a job with Crow Hill’s small newspaper. Now she’s assigned to write a human interest story on the return of the Dalton Gang, and she soon discovers that Boone Mitchell could give her plenty more than a good interview. As much as she craves safety, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to Boone’s dangerous streak. Before she takes the cowboy to bed, she lays down the law: There are no strings attached, and she’s the one in charge.
That’s fine for Boone. In fact, Everly teaches him things no other woman ever dared. Soon they find themselves wanting more than their simple arrangement will allow. But to get there, Everly will have to open up in ways she thought she never could…"
"Avery was the cheerleader everybody loved. David was the geek nobody noticed... until he stepped between her and their high school's biggest bully and earned a rep as a badass and a suspension for his trouble.
Fifteen years later, David has returned and is living on the third floor of the converted Victorian belonging to Avery's widowed mother. Avery lives beneath him on the second. The staircase between makes for a tight fit when they pass, and the shared address for a lot of circling, avoiding, retreating, and hiding, at least on Avery's part.
But the tension between them is impossible to ignore and David's determined to get to the bottom of what happened the night she ran off after he saved her life. The very same night—in her words—she ruined his."
"He holds the safety of a whole lot of women in his hands.
Eli McKenzie’s tough exterior has been cracked. His latest mission had him in Mexico, deep inside a Spectra IT sex slavery ring gathering intel. Holding back when he wanted to blow the joint sky-high was bad enough but turns out someone in the camp was poisoning him, too. The torture of being unable to act, along with the physical toll of his illness, sent him to Hank Smithson’s headquarters to put himself back together.
Eli’s sudden departure caused trouble for a Texas PI, Stella Banks, whose movements put her on Spectra’s radar. Now Eli’s back in camp, just as Spectra’s henchmen are debating how best to do away with her. The only way to save her life is to get her to trust that he’s there to help. That means revealing his true identity. And Stella needs to trust him because, without him, she has no way of freeing the girls Spectra is holding hostage.
Watching Stella sacrifice to take care of the girls gets to Eli in a big way, and soon they find that spending time in each other’s arms is the only way to survive the brutal assignment. But survive they must if they expect to save the innocent young lives in their care. Besides, Eli is not about to let Spectra get away with what they’ve done to him, to the girls, or to the woman who’s salvaged his very broken heart."
"Milla Page needs a date—three dates, actually—for work. She reviews restaurants and clubs for a hot dating website but can hardly judge the up-close-and-personal potential of a place if she goes it alone. Rather than call on one of her usual suspects when her plans fall through, she dips into the glass vase of business cards left in her office building's ladies' room lounge for this very purpose.
The note on the back of the card says the man it belongs to is hell on wheels... in bed, but the name on the front gives Milla pause because it belongs to Rennie Bergen, her college boyfriend's roommate, and her four-year indiscretion.
Rennie never expected to see Milla again but he can't say he's unhappy to find her in the showroom of the garage where his TV show, Hell on Wheels is filmed. The two of them share a hell of a history. Infatuation, wild sex, sneaking around—followed by a painfully explosive breakup. But with the tension between them as hot as ever, could they have a chance to rewrite that very unhappy ending?"
"He had no idea what it meant to be a hero.
Stopping at a roadside diner usually means bad chili, not a hostage situation. But Smithson Group operative Harry van Zandt finds himself in the middle of just that when armed men burst through the door. They're after the woman in the nearby booth, and their message is clear:
She's got seventy-two hours to come up with a valuable document or her brother dies. Harry, too, if he doesn't see that she delivers. Harry's on his own mission involving the same document, so he doesn't mind helping treasure hunter Georgia McLain. She's smart, tough, sexy... and she's desperate.
Georgia's not turning over the document to anyone. It's her only hope for clearing her father's name. With Harry's help, however, she can double-cross the thugs. On the road with a price on their heads, the two find themselves caught in a web of secrets, lies, and desire, with no time to catch their breath."
"She's got a debt to pay and he holds the IOU...
Ben Tannen was the undisputed leader of his high school band known as the Deck. He was the Ace. Heidi Malone was the Joker and the only female among the five. All four men were half in love with her—Ben maybe more than half.
Still, there had always been a certain tension between the Golden Boy and Heidi-from-the-wrong-side-of-the-tracks. And his offer of money for her college tuition didn't go over so well. She lashed out with her pride—and a bicycle chain.
Fifteen years later, Heidi still owes Ben an apology, and he still holds her IOU. He plans to collect and prove to her that they'd make much better lovers than fighters."
"He can give her what she needs but is the price too high?
Shandi Fossey is mixing cocktails at the bar in Hush, the hottest hotel in Manhattan. The place oozes fantasy of the hottest sort but for Shandi, it's a temp gig until she lands her dream job... and it's a lot better than pulling beers at the Thirsty Rattler back home.
Then music producer Quentin Marks walks in and offers to buy her a drink. He's got the connections she needs and can open a lot of doors. So why is the only door she wants to open the one to his room upstairs? And why in the world is she putting a man ahead of her future?"
"These days, PI Logan Burke does a lot of grunt work by choice. So when he's offered a surveillance case tied to industrial espionage, he's not too sure... until he sees the zeroes on the check. All he has to do to earn them is watch Hannah Evans and find out how she's leaking valuable research secrets.
Simple enough... or is it? Yeah. Logan's screwed. It's not enough to watch Hannah across a crowded restaurant. He wants to get close. And maybe, just maybe, find a way to move on after a past case left him with PTSD.
Hannah's in trouble. She knows someone's following her. She doesn't know who, but she's pretty sure she knows why. Thing is, with what she's discovered is going on at work, she's out of her league.
She needs help and turns to one of the only people she knows she can trust. Now to take his advice and lay out her worries to a highly recommended private investigator... one Logan Burke."

"There was a time when Crow Hill, Texas’s notorious Dalton Gang ran wild. Now, as owners of the Dalton Ranch, their partnership in the rundown operation leaves little time for raising hell—except for the right women who can turn on the heat…
It’s been sixteen years since Dax Campbell set foot in Crow Hill—and sixteen years since Arwen Poole had a crush on him in high school. Unfortunately, setting her sights on this irresistible man again has stirred up a lot of unfulfilled desires in Arwen. A few nights in bed with Dax should get him out of her system once and for all. That’s all she wants. And for now, that’s all she needs.
But Dax is looking for something deeper in a woman. So they agree to an unconventional affair: for every no-strings sexual encounter Arwen craves, Dax gets to take her out for a night of romance. While both manage to hold up their end of the bargain, they’re growing closer than either of them can afford. Because Dax has a family secret that could drive him out of Crow Hill for good, and Arwen’s not letting him go without a fight…"
"As Stephanie Monroe, she reached the age of nineteen without a care in the world... until the night her workplace was the scene of a massacre and she was left for dead. The only survivor. The only witness to the crime.
As Jamie Danby, she's lived the past ten years looking over her shoulder. She doesn't remember much of that night, but Texas Ranger Kellen Harding hopes to change that through forensic hypnosis.
