What she doesn’t anticipate is meeting a handsome-as-sin stranger who will give her pleasure unlike any she’s ever known. Joe Sterling has spent his life avoiding relationships, his former job as a military sniper not allowing for such commitments. Now he’s come home to Texas, to let go of the past and to prove he is more than the killer he’s been trained to be. When Amanda’s life is threatened, Joe’s killer instinct is tested while Amanda struggles to protect her heart. Will they succumb to their overwhelming desire for each other, or lose it all by letting the past dictate their future?

A woman who won’t be controlled… When it comes to relationships, Samantha keeps things casual, unassuming. Safe. Caleb Martin is far from safe. His ‘my way or the highway’ attitude pushes all the wrong buttons, and she’d sworn no man would have that kind of power over her again. A hunger that won’t be denied… Protecting Samantha from the man that stalks her shouldn't test his patience—or his control—but her smart mouth and hot Irish temper stoke the fuel of his desire. She is pure sin—a distraction he doesn’t need, a temptation he can’t resist. Despite their animosity, Caleb has starred in her fantasies for years. His ruthless sensuality proves to be more potent than she ever imagined. As Caleb masters her body, Samantha must keep a tight grip her heart.

She has spent the last four years trying to forget the only man to own her heart. Seeing him again is torture, and she needs to find the strength to heal his wound while ignoring her own aching chest. Having Regan within reach is tormenting. The years have done nothing to dampen the sizzling heat between them. After a passionate night together, Ketcher knows it will take all of his self-control to let Regan go, to keep her away from the enemy hunting him. As Ketcher recovers, his worst nightmare comes to life. With Regan’s life in danger, Ketcher will stop at nothing to get her back. Even if it means trading his life for hers.
