On Sale Now!

He is every inch the desperado.

Tough, relentless and a force to be reckoned with, Cord Romero lives for the adrenaline rush that comes with being a mercenary for hire. Risking his neck is all in a day’s work.

But this time the job is personal.

Having barely survived a murder attempt, Cord is looking for vengeance. But to get to his target it means joining forces with Maggie Barton.

No longer the impressionable young woman he once knew, Maggie is strong and independent ’ and an expert in a profession that places her as Cord’s equal. But a tragic secret from Maggie’s past threatens her relationship with Cord—and makes her a pawn for his deadly enemy.

Forced to trust each other for their very survival, Cord and Maggie embark on a lethal game of cat and mouse that can leave only one winner standing.

Originally published by MIRA July 2002 in hardcover and June 2003 in mass market paperback.

Hunter (originally published in Silhouette Desire® #606, 11/90)
The desert was no place for a female. But as chief of security for a top secret operation, Hunter had his orders, and Jennifer Marist needed his protection. He thought he could handle spending a week on the rugged Arizona plains with the one woman he was determined never to touch.... But he hadn’t planned on the lure of Jenny’s wild, sweet passion—or on discovering a love he’d never dreamed possible.

Man in Control (originally published in Silhouette Desire® #1537, 10/03)
Ever since DEA agent Alexander Cobb had given Jodie Clayburn a Texas-size brush-off, they’d been sworn enemies. But eight years later, an undercover operation brought them back together again. This cynical Long, Tall Texan couldn’t believe the baby-faced schoolgirl was now an understated beauty who electrified his senses and his heart. Or that she’d help him crack the drug-smuggling case that threatened all of Jacobsville. Tantalized to the core, Alexander would risk everything to possess—and protect—the untouched young woman. This fearless secret agent always got his man—or in this case, woman. But this time, would the man in control get caught in his own web of danger...and desire?

Cole Whitehall had asked Lacy Jarrett to wait for him. But after the war, he returned to the rambling Whitehall cattle ranch a changed man, the promise of lasting love replaced by a cold, hard distance. Lacy yearned to reignite the once inseparable couple’s unquenched passion.

Unwittingly compromised into marriage, the handsome Texan refused to come under Lacy’s thumb. But the hard press of aching desire had her longing to learn the secrets Cole harbored in his heart. Tormented, she wouldn’t let him shoulder the burden alone, and soon the pursuit of an endless love would burn bright enough to set their world ablaze.

Like most of the young ladies in Fort Worth, Noelle Brown was smitten by handsome, charming Andrew Paige. But when she challenged the steely-eyed gaze of his stepbrother Jared, something inside her felt a little wild, a little thrilled...a little afraid.

He was a big-city lawyer with a killer's stance—a desperado turned lawman, disillusioned with life and haunted by a past he couldn't escape. But this tender, green girl, with her flashfire temper and her unconventional ways, tempted and tormented him with a sweet, maddening passion.

Rivalry would pit brother against brother and scandal would rock their lives. And Noelle would have to convince a man unwilling to believe in love that only he could still the anguish in her heart—and fulfill the promise of their destiny together....

A prophecy foretold...

Three years after the unprovoked attack on a peaceful colony, the war between the Rojok dynasty and the Tri-Galaxy Fleet rages on. Born of that war is the Morcai Battalion, a fleet comprised of Centaurians and humans—the first collaboration of its kind and a step toward an intergalactic alliance. But the fragile union is tested as their courageous Commander in Chief, Dtimun, is faced with the temptation of the forbidden—and human—Dr. Madeline Ruszel.

A combat surgeon, Ruszel is aware of the danger of inciting a Centaurian's interest, even if he is the most intriguing of men. Besides putting their mission at risk, personal relations between their kinds are still outlawed. But a prophecy that touches on both their lives and the future of all alien nations hints that a greater unity may be theirs for the taking...if they, and their crew, survive in the battle for peace.

Note: THE MORCAI BATTALION: The Recruit continues the saga of Dr. Madeline Ruszel, the only female member of the elite alien Cehn-Tahr Holconcom commandos. A new recruit threatens her place in the unit as the Rojok war escalates.
