Keeping secrets close…and an enemy closer… 

His protection instincts on high alert, KCPD detective Trent Dixon knew something was wrong with Katie Rinaldi. The special investigator had obviously uncovered a dangerous piece of evidence while looking into a cold case. So dangerous, in fact, that the single mother's life was now in jeopardy.

As much as Trent told himself he was keeping tabs on Katie and her young son as part of his job, he couldn't ignore the very real feelings he had for her. Still, as a professional, he was bound to the badge and would give Katie all the security she deserved. And not give in to the attraction he was having trouble containing…

She cheated death once…but a killer still lurks.

When a gunshot rips streetwise police officer Gina Galvan from the line of duty, all she wants is to return to the front line and stop a shooter. But good guy physical therapist Mike Cutler won't back down from a challenge, or his blazing attraction to Gina. Without a badge or a gun, Mike is ready to face anyone – including a killer – to prove he's every inch a hero.

They may have battled in the courtroom, but KCPD detective Keir Watson wasn't going to let their turbulent past stop him from protecting attorney Kenna Parker.  She'd been attacked, escaping with her life but with no memory of who wanted to end it.  And the only person she dared trust was Keir.

With the clock ticking, every second grows more precious…their feelings more intense. If Keir is going to discover Kenna's would–be killer, he has to focus on the case. But his attraction to Kenna is making this determined bachelor reconsider just what his idea of forever could mean.

Political intrigue, an undercover investigation and a very mutual attraction.

As the Kansas City Police Department's archenemy, reporter Gabriel Knight never expected to need its help. But the sexy journalist suspects the death of a politician's aide will shed light on the long-unsolved murder of his fiancée. He demands to team up with tough, beautiful detective Olivia Watson. Sharing a mutual distrust — and a disturbingly mutual attraction — Gabe and Olivia discover that someone's working hard to keep old secrets buried and stop their investigation dead. But as they come closer to the truth they edge closer to each other. Until now, neither has had room in their lives — or hearts — for a relationship. Yet all that could change if Gabe can prevent them from becoming tomorrow's headline.

This was one cold case a hard-nosed detective had every intention of solving — with or without a beautiful victim's help...

Six years ago Rosemary March's fiancé was murdered. Now, someone is stalking her, intent on stopping her memories of the murder from being revealed. And Detective Max Krolikowski, her protector, only wants her alive for the truth she might be hiding.

But Max is hiding his own secrets, such as the acute PTSD the ex-solder lives with. As part of Kansas City's Cold Case Squad, the officer's work should have been simply investigative. But with his potential key witness's life jeopardised, he must keep her safe at any cost. And keep himself from falling for a woman who could be a true innocent…or a killer waiting to strike again.

Working together almost 24/7 to bring the perp to justice–and sharing kisses passionate enough to ignite a Kansas City heat wave–George and Elise had forged the kind of partnership that could keep her out of harm's way and potentially lead to happily ever after.

But he's more than ready to muss those same bedclothes with the right woman

And an under–the–covers operative

Meanwhile Dr Cyn (real name Josephine Cynthia Gardner) is on a mission to scout out a hot military man, seduce him and report back.

Assistant district attorney Audrey Kline has privilege at her feet until her latest courtroom battle brings danger to her door. Her quest to convict a cold–blooded gang leader makes her a target. The threats point to something beyond gang revenge... like the work of a serial stalker.

He's survived the gritty city streets and refuses to let the captivating, determined woman out of his protection...or under his skin. But to rescue her from evil, he must be willing to confront anything including the powerful passion that binds them.

A stalker named Secret Santa is targeting the kindhearted teacher…and the pranks are growing deadly. In Daisy, Harry's finally found the safe haven he needs. And he'll be damned if anyone is going to take her from him.
