For Review:
Her Perfect Mate (X-Ops)
Their attraction is more dangerous than any weapon of mass destruction.
When
Special Forces Captain Landon Donovan is chosen for an assignment with
the Department of Covert Operations, he's stunned to find his new
partner is a beautiful woman who looks like she couldn't hurt a fly,
much less take down a terrorist.
Ivy Halliwell isn't your
average covert op. Her feline DNA means she can literally bring out the
claws when things get dicey. She isn't thrilled to be paired with yet
another military grunt, but Landon is different. He doesn't think she's a
freak-and he's smokin' hot. Soon they're facing a threat even greater
than anyone imagines and an animal magnetism impossible to ignore.
Hell for Leather: Black Knights Inc.
Bad-boy
bikers by day & special ops team by night-these New York Times
bestselling Black Knights keep you on the edge of your seat!
Only
the most urgent crisis could force Delilah Fairchild to abandon her
beloved biker bar and ask the surly Bryan "Mac" McMillan for help. What
the ex-FBI agent has against her is a mystery...but when the bullets
start to fly, Mac is her only chance for finding her uncle alive. Mac
knows that beautiful women can't be trusted, but he has to put his
natural wariness of Delilah aside to help her. With the clock ticking,
Mac and Delilah find themselves holding on to each other in the wildest
adventure of their lives.
Pure Heat (Firehawks)
These daredevil smokejumpers fight more than fires.
The elite fire experts of Mount Hood Aviation fly into places even the CIA can't penetrate.
She lives to fight fires
Carly Thomas could read burn patterns before she knew the alphabet. A
third-generation forest fire specialist who lost both her father and her
fiancé to the flames, she's learned to live life like she fights fires:
with emotions shut down.
But he's lit an inferno she can't quench
Former smokejumper Steve "Merks" Mercer can no longer fight fires up
close and personal, but he can still use his intimate knowledge of
wildland burns as a spotter and drone specialist. Assigned to copilot a
Firehawk with Carly, they take to the skies to battle the worst wildfire
in decades and discover a terrorist threat hidden deep in the Oregon
wilderness — but it's the heat between them that really sizzles.
Crossbone Yard: A Thriller (Alice Quentin)
Introducing
Alice Quentin, a London psychologist with family baggage, who finds
herself at the center of a grisly series of murders.
Alice
Quentin is a psychologist with some painful family secrets, but she has a
good job, a good-looking boyfriend, and excellent coping skills, even
when that job includes evaluating a convicted killer who’s about to be
released from prison. One of the highlights of her day is going for a
nice, long run around her beloved London — it's impossible to fret or
feel guilty about your mother or brother when you're concentrating on
your breathing — until she stumbles upon a dead body at a former
graveyard for prostitutes, Crossbones Yard.
The dead woman’s
wounds are alarmingly similar to the signature style of Ray and Marie
Benson, who tortured and killed thirteen women before they were caught
and sent to jail. Five of their victims were never found. That was six
years ago, and the last thing Alice wants to do is to enter the sordid
world of the Bensons or anyone like them. But when the police ask for
her help in building a psychological profile of the new murderer, she
finds that the killer — and the danger to her and the people she cares
about — may already be closer than she ever imagined.
Murder in the Afternoon (Kate Shackleton)
Dead one minute
Young
Harriet and her brother Austin have always been scared of the quarry
where their stone mason father works. So when they find him dead on the
cold ground, they rush off quickly to look for some help.
Alive the next?
When help arrives, however, the quarry is deserted and there is no sign
of the body. Were the children mistaken? Is their father not dead? Did
he simply get up and run away?
A sinister disappearing act
It seems like another unusual case requiring the expertise of Kate
Shackleton -- and Mary Jane, the children's mother, is adamant that only
she can help. But Mary Jane is hiding something -- a secret from
Kate's past that raises the stakes and puts both Kate and her family at
risk.
Prototype
The stunning debut that began with Archetype — and has readers buzzing — concludes in Prototype, when a woman’s dual pasts lock onto a collision course, threatening her present and future.
Emma looks forward to the day when she can let go of her past — both of them. After more than a year on the run, with clues to her parents’ whereabouts within her grasp, she may finally find a place to settle down. Start a new life. Maybe even create new memories with a new family.
But the past rises to haunt her and to make sure there’s nowhere on the planet she can hide. Declan Burke wants his wife back, and with a little manipulation and a lot of reward money, he’s got the entire world on his side. Except for the one man she dreads confronting the most: Noah Tucker.
Emma returns to face what she’s done but finds that the past isn’t the problem. It’s the present — and the future it represents. Noah has moved on and another woman is raising their daughter.
In the shocking conclusion to M.D. Waters’s spectacular debut, Emma battles for her life and her freedom, tearing down walls and ripping off masks to reveal the truth. She’s decided to play their game and prove she isn’t the woman they thought she was. Even if it means she winds up dead. Or worse, reborn.
