"He'd been hired to transport precious cargo-and it put a beautiful twist in his solitary life
Former operative turned pilot Dylan Branson has one mission: deliver vital codes to Omega Sector before millions of lives are lost. Surprisingly, the codes reside in the photographic memory of Shelby Keelan, a beautiful computer expert who's so far survived two murder attempts. Used to doing things solo, Dylan will get Shelby to Washington, DC, then walk away. So he's stunned to discover she's as much a loner as he is-and how much that appeals to him. Now, with both their lives in danger after his plane is sabotaged midair, Dylan no longer thinks of Shelby as just a job. Or that he'll be able to let her go once it's over.

"Posing as a married couple to save the world was easy compared to the very real feelings between them…
As Bob and Lisa Sinclair, Omega Sector agents Evan Karcz and Juliet Branson were a formidable couple-until a brutal attack left Juliet traumatized. But with a powerful crime boss selling military secrets, the safety of millions depends on the undercover operatives. It's up to Evan to rehabilitate Juliet…and not fail her as he did on the mission that still haunts him.
Evan's strategy is to be near Juliet night and day to practice posing as a loving couple. But soon he realizes there's a sizzling passion between them. And it's being threatened by forces stronger than they ever realized. With a killer stalking Lisa Sinclair, her "husband" knows he'd risk his cover-and his life-to protect her."
"First published as Countermeasures, a ticking clock and opposites attracting will keep readers on the edge of their seat in this classic story from USA TODAY bestselling author Janie Crouch!
At first it looked like a glorified babysitting job: safeguard a scientist while she created a countermeasure to neutralize a dangerous weapon that had fallen into the wrong hands. But when Dr. Megan Fuller's life is threatened, undercover agent Sawyer Branson knows the enemy is closing in. Sticking by Megan 24/7 isn't something he takes lightly, even if Megan doesn't seem to appreciate his constant presence. But she soon becomes a challenge he enjoys. Because beneath her boxy lab coat and pinned-back hair lay a brilliant and beautiful warrior. One he's determined to protect at all costs.

"In this classic tale, originally known as Infiltration, from USA TODAY bestselling author Janie Crouch, two people reunite when they're forced to worked undercover-and sparks still fly.
The wrong place at the wrong time-that's the only way Sophia Reardon could explain her predicament. She wasn't even an FBI field agent and now she was being taken hostage. By her ex-boyfriend Cameron Branson. The moment Sophia walked into his undercover operation, Cameron warned her that his "employers" would want to break her. So keeping her by his side, pretending not to have feelings for her, was the best way to maintain his role in the dangerous organization, and the only way to keep them both safe. Because if they got their hands on her, she could expose him and his secrets. And then they'd no longer have any reason to keep her around…

"Tasha Volkov has been on the run for three years from a brutal cartel who want her dead.
Aka: her family.
She already paid a heavy price for crossing them, and has the scars to prove it. Her only choice is to keep running, even if the tiny town of Pine Valley feels more like home to her than anywhere else she's ever been.
The last place Zodiac Tactical agent Andrew Zimmerman expected to find the missing Volkov sister was with his friends at the Crossroads Mountain Retreat in the mountains of Tennessee—a place for wounded law enforcement and veterans to heal.
Tasha may not have been the one who gave the order that killed his wife—and very nearly killed him and his twin baby girls—but she can lead Andrew to the man who did.
And Andrew's willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen.
No matter how much Tasha's vulnerability pulls at him. No matter if everything about her screams innocent, not guilty. No matter how his gut says to keep her safe and close to him.
He thinks he knows all her secrets. But he doesn't.
Turns out, neither does she..."
"Air Force Combat Controller Derek Bollinger knows what it is to feel that every breath might be his last. Enduring hell in an enemy prison for five weeks taught him that.
The only thing that got him through it was the thought of his family, his hometown of Oak Creek, Wyoming, and especially of Becky Mackay.
He survived, but with blood on his hands. His own. His friends’ who died beside him. His enemies’.
And then...Becky’s.
A night that should’ve been perfect for them both turned into a nightmare Derek can never wake up from, leaving him with only one option: staying the hell away.
But Becky has almost lost the man she loves too many times—first to that prison camp, then to his own demons. She’s not going to lose him again.
Yes, that night between them changed everything. Changed her. But change isn’t always a bad thing. And it’s time for them to stand together to face his PTSD and their future.
Especially when an unexpected danger comes after them both. Together will be the only way to survive."
"Dorian Lindstrom, Codename Ghost, weiß, dass jeder unter Folter zerbricht.
Seine fünf Wochen in den Händen von Terroristen haben ihn das mit unbarmherziger Gründlichkeit gelehrt. Mit der Hilfe seiner Kameraden von Linear Tactical hat er sein Leben so gut es geht wieder in den Griff bekommen.
Aber über seine Liebe zu Grace Brandt, ihre Rolle bei seiner Gefangennahme und die Tatsache, dass sie gestorben ist, ist er nie hinweggekommen.
Aber Totgesagte leben bekanntlich länger.
Grace weiß, dass sie unverzeihliche Dinge getan hat. Sie hat sich so lange versteckt, wie sie konnte, aber nun kommen die Geheimnisse, an denen sie langsam erstickt, allmählich ans Licht.
Und der Mann, den sie zu zerbrechen half, der Mann, den sie immer geliebt hat, ist der Einzige, der diesen Albtraum beenden kann."
"Breathe in. Breathe out. Survive.
Marilyn Ellis is finally putting her life back together. The domestic abuse she suffered may be labeled textbook by therapists, but it’s the parts she’s never told anyone that haunt her.
She refuses to get trapped in that hell ever again.
Former Special Forces soldier turned rancher Noah Dempsey is more than capable of training the delicate single mom in moves and tactics that will help her feel safe. But his own tortured past makes him decidedly less qualified for anything more.
No matter how much her big eyes—and even bigger heart—draw him in.
However, when unexpected danger arrives in their small town, Noah knows this is a woman worth fighting for. Worth fighting beside. And he’s going to be the one to do it.
She needs a hero.
He’ll have to remember how to be one."
"Eva Dempsey is out of options.
She’s made it to Oak Creek, Wyoming with two traumatized dogs, twenty dollars, and a fear of damned near everything.
Things that didn’t make it with her? Her self-esteem, confidence, or any way of supporting herself.
Theo Lindstrom knows how to survive. He proved it as a child when he had to keep himself and sister alive in the wilderness. Now he runs Linear Tactical, the company his adoptive father helped create, and teaches survival skills to others.
So he recognizes the desperation in the eyes of the petite beauty who’s pulled into town, and knows there’s more to her story than she’s letting on.
He normally keeps to himself—for very good reasons—but he can’t this time. Something about Eva draws him in a way he can’t resist, even knowing she’s got secrets. The deadly kind.
When the danger she's running from shows up, Theo’s not going to let her fight it alone.
This is his town.
This is his woman.
And he’ll protect both to his last breath."
