He's a Texas lawman carrying a badge...and a grudge. And he could die protecting his unintended bride. They're a perfect pair, both tough, wary, and the walking wounded. When their quests for vengeance collide, Undercover DEA Agent Dallas McQuade and Mia Linden, a disbarred lawyer whose personal life has been destroyed by drug lord Esteban Montoya, are forced into a reluctant partnership—and a quickie Las Vegas wedding. Dallas vows to protect his temporary wife, but Mia has plans of her own, and they don't include leaving all the heavy lifting—or bullet-dodging—to Dallas. Neither of them planned on falling in lust, let alone love. But they can’t fight the passion…and emotions…ricocheting between them. But will Dallas choose vengeance—or love? Maybe they can heal each other. And their make-believe marriage can become real. If they survive.

FBI Special Agent Zane Wolfe fears nothing... Except fatherhood. So suddenly discovering he's the father of a five-year-old son terrifies him. Jillian Ramsay has had temporary custody of her best friend’s little boy since his mother recently died. As the assistant director of a school for disadvantaged children, she recognizes the signs that Zane is a survivor of childhood abuse. While Jillian understands Zane's trepidation, she also sees that behind his protective barricades, her Big Bad Wolfe is good-hearted and caring. She’s in a desperate fight for custody against the child’s vicious maternal uncle, who views the boy as a life-style accessory instead of a person…and she needs Zane to man-up and face his fears—at least long enough to help her win permanent custody of his son. Zane's ready to turn tail and run for the first time in his life. Until he realizes there's something sinister behind the death of his son’s mother. And that both the boy and Jillian may be in danger. As Zane works with Jillian to secure his son's future, keeping his heart-armor intact becomes far more difficult than he imagined. Because while Jillian might not huff and puff, her patience and tenderness are relentlessly chipping away at his barricades. The Big Bad Wolfe fears nothing. Except failing those he loves. He’ll do anything to protect his son…including temporarily marrying Jillian. Then he’s determined to return to his safe, solitary existence. But when his past and present collide in a devastating barrage of emotions…which future will Zane choose? Words: 104,204

Chemistry is one thing. Heart-tugging is another. And damned if both father and son aren’t soon tugging on Christie’s previously-broken heart-strings. A child’s unshakeable faith in Santa, his seemingly impossible Christmas wishes of the Jolly Old Man, and a whole lot of holiday magic may lead Damian and Christie to the biggest surprise of all…love. Although the first two books in this series are Romantic Suspense, this special Christmas novel does not contain suspense.

However readers of "Laws of Attraction" and "Big Bad Wolfe" will love revisiting their favorite characters and celebrating with them during the holidays.
