Kidnapped In Dark Waters - Carla Cassidy

She’s out for justice. All he can do is protect her.

With a suspect for her mother’s murder within reach, Dominique Santori has a plan to capture the killer. And although police detective Luke Madison believes that plan is reckless, she won’t refuse his offer to watch her back as she wades into the dark waters of the swamp. As the spark between them starts burning hot, Luke unsurprisingly goes into full bodyguard mode... following her on her never-ending quest for justice. Only when Dominique is kidnapped does she begin to fear the answers she’s seeking have jeopardised the man she loves. Because Luke will never stop searching... no matter how much it costs him.

Protective Refuge - Janie Crouch

The danger they fear is even closer than they think...

Hannah Davies has always had a crush on her big brother’s best friend, Xavier Michaels. When she sees the former CIA agent spiralling into darkness after a suspicious fire at his sanctuary for wounded warriors, she refuses to let him push her away. She knows that he’s trying to protect her from an elusive assailant who is not afraid to kill. They quickly realise it’s time to stop denying their shared attraction and maybe even act on it. As the threats against them escalate, they must fight for survival — and a love worth risking everything for.
