Mountain Investigation Jessica Andersen Bear Claw Creek Crime Lab |
FBI special agent Michael "Gray" Grayson had an agenda...and it didn't include protecting a beautiful loner in the wilds of Colorado who probably knew more than she was sharing. Still, the fear in Mariah Shore's amber eyes after he rescued her from the clutches of a terrorist mastermind seemed all too real. And since Gray wasn't about to watch another person suffer while he felt helpless to stop it, Mariah was now his unwilling partner in uncovering a deadly plot. Before long, looking for answers and hiding out in the cold, tight canyons of the Colorado mountains turned their investigation much more intimate. And believing in Mariah's claims of innocence gave Gray that much more to lose. | ||||||||||||||||||

Special Abilities Team--S.A.T.
Psychologist Morgan Cabot commands a special military support team that
provides a unique service. While they are highly trained for military

Dr. Cabot and her teammates, Taylor Lee and Jazie Craig, are "highly
intuitive": they hear, feel, and see things that others can't. They are
the Special Abilities Team, and they function outside of normal
protocol-and the American public can never know of their existence.
The Secretary of Defense of the United States has called upon Cabot's
team to stop Thomas Kunz, a sadistic terrorist who specializes in black
market arms sales and intelligence brokering. |

court-martialed his friends. Academy graduate Julianne Decatur is tough, tenacious, and driven by her belief in military law. She has zero patience for hotshot Spec Ops cowboys who think the rules don't apply to them--and even less tolerance for Dallas's tough-as-nails Texas attitude. But when they're assigned to investigate a Navy flyer's apparent suicide, they discover the trail of a ruthless killer-and an attraction between them that can't be denied. And when their prey turns the tables on them, Julianne will have to depend on the one man daring and reckless enough to keep them both alive. |
