Colton On Guard - Karen Whiddon

He aches for her forgiveness... and yearns to protect her from danger.

Her job at Rough Terrain Adventures would be perfect if it didn’t require working alongside Parker Colton. Before Genna MacDougal left town, they shared a spectacular night of passion. Then he ghosted her. Now she’s back and struggling to suppress her attraction in his inescapable presence. But Parker is also struggling... with regret and longing. So when a stalker targets Genna, Parker must overcome Genna’s resistance to his protection. The stakes couldn’t be higher because the stalker could be the serial killer who’s murdering women in their town.

Desperate Justice - Bonnie Vanak

His work is all that matters. But one woman could change all that.

Rafael Rodriguez is determined to get his man. Especially after he narrowly escapes death on the hunt for drug kingpin Hector Hernandez. But as the FBI special agent inches closer to his prey, he didn’t bargain on Allison Lexington. After infiltrating the Devil’s Patrol, his one-time confidential informant’s now on the straight-and-narrow. With her sister set to marry Hector’s nephew, Allison topples head-first into danger. Then her sister vanishes and the motorcycle-riding trauma nurse might be the one who needs saving. And Rafe’s just the one to do it...
