His Secret Agenda Beth Andrews Harlequin Superromance ISBN: 9780373715916 |
Dean Garret is about to
break the number one rule of undercover work. And it's all because his
new "boss" is as pretty as a professional cheerleader and has a
do-gooder's heart. Who can resist that combination? Still, Dean suspects
Allison Martin is hiding something behind her dazzling smile. That
something being the runaway mother and son he's been hired to find. To get the job done, he needs to gain Allie's trust. Only, the lawyer-turned-bar-owner isn't cooperating. But she can't remain immune to his good ol' boy charm and sexy drawl forever. Because Dean never fails. And he'll do anything to solve a case. Even if it means he has to break all the rules. |

The Man She Once
Knew Jean Brashear
Harlequin Superromance ISBN: 9780373715954 |
David Langley was the golden boy of Oak Hollow, the one everyone
looked up to--then Callie Hunter came to town, Goth-wannabe teen in full
rebellion, bringing trouble right along with her. David stood by her in
her darkest hour, never realizing that the price would be his
star-bright future. Fifteen years after the tragedy that parted them, Callie has returned to town to bury her great-aunt. Her path crosses David's, but the hard, angry man she encounters is nothing like the boy she loved. Their fortunes are reversed-Callie is now an ambitious prosecutor, and David is a convict barely released from prison after serving fifteen years for murder, newly charged with assault. Will Callie take his side as he once did for her and risk the career she painstakingly built from the rubble of her life? And even if she tries, how will she deal with a man who refuses to have anything to do with her, ready to go to prison again rather than help her uncover the one thing that could clear him? |
