Mike Harkin is one lucky guy. Not just because he’s miraculously survived a traumatic accident, but because he’s finally met the elusive Ms. Right: the surgeon who saved his life. Dr. Catherine Cady doesn’t know it yet, but Mike is about to transform himself into a man who’s worthy of the second chance she’s given him—and worthy of a woman like her…
The only bedside Catherine intends to share with Mike is in the hospital. It’s not that she isn’t powerfully attracted to his decadent good looks-after all, she’s only human. Still, a roguish casino mogul is hardly husband material—even if he does seem to have become an overnight philanthropist.
The more Catherine struggles to resist his devilish charm, the more tempted she is to celebrate the life she saved—by agreeing to share the rest of it.

An arresting situation
The last thing police lieutenant Nick Cruz needs is somebody cramping his style. But the word has come down from the top brass—some behavioral psychologist wants to study him for a college paper. And to top it off, the student shrink is a woman! Nick can tell the sweet, innocent beauty can’t read even one of his thoughts or she wouldn’t be taking notes—she’d be blushing from head to toe.
Caroline Summers has always been fascinated by people and their behavior. But Nick Cruz is her most compelling subject yet. Sure, there’s his built-for-speed physique and sexy bedroom eyes. But it’s what lies behind those eyes that Caroline wants access to…something warm, provocative and just a little dangerous. The spirited scholar intends to do her own investigation—if she can just keep her mind from wandering into forbidden territory…

It seems like only yesterday that she was Julia Templeton, a happy go-lucky redhead with a fabulous Boston apartment, thriving publishing career, and a hopping social calendar.
Now shes drab brunette Sally Andersen, teaching second grade in small town Idaho. Thanks to the Witness Protection program, shes alive—but doomed to a life of looking over her shoulder. And the day she finds a brawny stranger looming there, she does what any helpless, hunted female would do; she knocks him out cold. Rumor has it that the pretty new schoolteacher is standoffish, but this is ridiculous.
Richard Cooper figures sassy-yet-skittish Sally must be hiding something. But never in his wildest dreams does he suspect that shes on the run from murderous mobsters—or that hell feel compelled to protect her. With any luck, when all this is over, he might even be able to talk her into taking yet another name: his.
