Remember ...The haunting refrain torments Bethany, almost as much as the horrors of what she's forgotten. Chased, terrified, and injured, she races away from a gunman into the woods, determined to once again escape those after her.Hunter's first meeting with Bethany reveals an injured, exhausted, and possibly dangerous psychic. Plus she was uncooperative, barely civil, keeping everyone at arm's length. Only she needs help, ... and he is the one available. Time for the hunted to turn hunter, and that is his domain. Especially if he gets to champion the underdog, which, in this case, is a prickly and way-too-beautiful woman, whom he doesn't want to let out of his sight.Not only is she being tracked but they want her back as a captive. A captive to do their bidding. And they've enlisted another of their group, her ex-best friend Lizzy, to hunt down Bethany.They want, no need, her to remember who she really is ...With Hunter at her side, Bethany fights for survival, racing toward an explosive reveal that leaves them all gasping, as their world turns upside down.

Traveling to China to retrieve a kidnapped scientist shows Diesel the depths of human depravity. Not that he needs more proof. He's been doing this type of work for a decade. This is the first time though the person he was rescuing was this interesting.Eva Langston had been kidnapped while walking across the street and then locked up in a lab half a world away. Joining two other scientists, both letting her know there was no escape, she refuses to give up hope. When the rescue does come, it wasn't smooth or easy.Still she was damn glad to be free. Until she realizes that freedom is a long way off, as, one by one, her science team is picked off, leaving her the last one to be dealt with.

Zack wasn't someone to focus on his mistakes, but he'd made a big one, and it was hard to move on from it. Still he was determined to work with Levi's team to find new meaning in his life and to get his head on straight. At least that was the plan. When he ends up part of a two-man team to rescue a kidnapped woman, the daughter of a former politician, Zack doesn't know how to react-she's certainly unique. Not the least of which, she didn't appreciate the rescue.... At least not once she learns the details. Zadie knew her father was guilty of the crimes he'd been accused of. She was more concerned about her mother, who'd always been the downtrodden and obedient wife. But, as more and more evidence shines a light on their lives and her kidnapping, the issue is no longer as clear. Heartbroken at the losses that keep mounting, Zadie knows she needs a second rescue-hopefully by her same rescuer. Only it's not as simple this time, and it's infinitely more dangerous...

Sheriff Angela Zimmerman is not what Bonaparte expects when he arrives in her district. But he was here to help her out at Levi's request. A little matchmaking by Levi was going on too but didn't change the fact that she was in trouble. When Levi said he was sending a man over, she didn't realize he meant this gentle mountain of a man. Still Bonaparte was confident and capable, and that's what mattered. Something rotten was happening in her town, and getting to the bottom of it alone was nearly impossible. Especially when all her deputies had been coerced to quit.Sensing something much bigger was going on is one thing, but proving it is another. So the two set out to get the proof they need-no matter the danger. No one expected what they found ...

Her kidnappers demanded Shane arrive. Finding out his best friend was held as a pawn just pissed him off. Finding out rescuing her was a test made him seriously angry. He hates being used. These men mean business though, as Shane finds a body count too high for comfort.Shelly knew Shane would come for her. No way he wouldn't. She was lucky to have Shane there for her, especially when learning a second woman had been kidnapped and held for over six months. The simple rescue of Shelly turns into something more to find this second woman.But is there one killer boss out there or two? As the pair try to secure their own freedom, it gets even murkier, until finding a way through is paramount. Otherwise no one gets a happy ending.

Riches to rags. ... Chaos calms. ... Suddenly it's quiet. ...

Someone clobbers Doreen over the head and leaves her facedown among the funeral flowers.Is it random violence? Revenge? A warning of worse to come?No one knows, not even Doreen, but one thing is certain: the attack enabled the disappearance-perhaps the abduction?-of Doreen's beloved African gray parrot, Thaddeus. Frantic, Doreen foregoes a trip to the emergency room in favor of heading straight home, where she hopes Thaddeus will return sooner rather than later.When he does show up, riding a branch down the river, coming right home, he's different, and all he can talk about is Big Guy. He's also sporting an SOS message fastened around his ankle... Doreen sets out to retrace Thaddeus's path, while Mack hunts down her attacker.Between birds and boys and Corporal Mack Moreau's brother, the lawyer looking into her divorce situation, Doreen has her hands full.

And, of course, she's been ordered to stay away from the case, ... but she can't help being interested. So she enlists Mack's brother, Nick-her new lawyer-to help.Mack's first priority is to clear Doreen as a suspect. No one in their right mind would seriously believe she'd done the deed, of course. ... But, the fact is, she had both motive and opportunity, so clearing her of suspicion isn't the walk in the park that Mack would like it to be. Especially not when she insists on sticking her nose into his case, where it doesn't belong.And just when Doreen is certain things can't get any worse, answering her doorbell shows her that this nightmare has just started. Who just walked into her life? None other than her soon-to-be-ex-husband, ... Mathew ...
