With her short and regrettable marriage over, she is thrilled to enter her very own cafe each morning, and determined to keep men on the sideline for a while. Business is good, and her customers need her for their morning jolt of caffeine as well as her vivacious personality. Those who call the streets their home also depend on her kindness and compassion for an occasional warm drink or bite to eat. But for some of those unfortunate souls, Hannah’s cafe is turning out to be the wrong place to be found! One by one, three men have been found dead in the alley behind her bistro. The causes of death are different, but the scenes are spookily similar. And to her, they all mean one thing: a murderer is in her midst. Enter a handsome alpha male - Chicago Police Detective Sam Jeffers. His charm and undeniable physical appeal awaken desires in Hannah that she thought she had put on hold. And the persistence and determination that make him an effective homicide detective are wearing down her resolve... Will their feelings for each other have a chance to grow before the murderer gets even closer? Enjoy Intimate Desires - book one in The Love and Danger Series! less

He’d only known her a couple hours, but already he wanted her. Now, if only she wasn’t a murder suspect… Detective Brock Transom eyed Nina Jansen across her desk. In the short span of time since the body of her boss had been found, he’d picked up a number of interesting insights. Some had been freely given – from the crime scene techs and medical examiner, as expected. Others had come, knowingly or unintentionally, from the man’s coworkers, including the beautiful brunette in front of him... moreHe’d only known her a couple hours, but already he wanted her. Now, if only she wasn’t a murder suspect… Detective Brock Transom eyed Nina Jansen across her desk. In the short span of time since the body of her boss had been found, he’d picked up a number of interesting insights. Some had been freely given – from the crime scene techs and medical examiner, as expected. Others had come, knowingly or unintentionally, from the man’s coworkers, including the beautiful brunette in front of him. Two things about her were clear: she had strong negative feelings about the deceased, and she was hiding something. His challenge was going to be to separate his investigative instincts from the compelling attraction he felt for this woman. Nina felt like she was on a roller coaster. In the dark. Going backwards. Since the day began, she had been unexpectedly jerked up, down, and sideways. The big “drop from the ride’s peak” being the revelation that her lecherous creep of a boss had been murdered! Now, the detective whose presence had so electrified her as the police screened arriving employees was questioning her with more than a casual interest. His inquiries about her boss were easy – she had detested the man, but she certainly hadn’t killed him! But accounting for her time outside the office could expose activities that she wasn’t ready to reveal. Now – how to remove herself from suspicion when Detective Transom’s mere touch made her stomach flutter and her heartbeat race? Enjoy Intimate Caresses - book two in The Love and Danger Series! less

She’d hurt him deeply, but he couldn’t stay away, especially if she was in trouble. Detective Walker Myers’ heart skipped a beat when he saw the name on the incident list. He hadn’t seen her in over a year, but the thought of Amy Rossi still affected him more than he liked or wanted to admit. He’d thought she was “the one”, but she’d killed any chance of a future when she’d betrayed him in such an fundamental way... moreShe’d hurt him deeply, but he couldn’t stay away, especially if she was in trouble. Detective Walker Myers’ heart skipped a beat when he saw the name on the incident list. He hadn’t seen her in over a year, but the thought of Amy Rossi still affected him more than he liked or wanted to admit. He’d thought she was “the one”, but she’d killed any chance of a future when she’d betrayed him in such an fundamental way. So why was he on her doorstep? Why was he giving up his free time to investigate who was stalking his achingly beautiful ex-lover? No one had ever come close to stirring the same intensity as Amy could with just a touch or a look. But how could he ever trust her? Amy shivered when Walker showed up in her classroom. She couldn’t believe her eyes, nor could she believe how much her body longed to be with him again. But she couldn't go down that road again. He’d deserted her when she’d needed him the most. He couldn’t be trusted. Never would she put herself in that place where he could hurt her again. So why was she watching him with painful longing? Why was she letting him help her now? less

How about a tasty sandwich for lunch, with a side of … death threats? Detective Colt Mallory and his partner get much more than they bargained for during their brief midday meal break, when an excited waiter beckons them to help his boss. Skeptical and expecting an exaggerated “menace” from a viewer of too many crime dramas, Colt agrees to talk to the owner. He doesn’t anticipate the feisty and beautiful sandwich maker, nor the stack of increasingly threatening letters... moreHow about a tasty sandwich for lunch, with a side of … death threats? Detective Colt Mallory and his partner get much more than they bargained for during their brief midday meal break, when an excited waiter beckons them to help his boss. Skeptical and expecting an exaggerated “menace” from a viewer of too many crime dramas, Colt agrees to talk to the owner. He doesn’t anticipate the feisty and beautiful sandwich maker, nor the stack of increasingly threatening letters. Clearly both will require additional investigation. Chloe is less than pleased with how the day is going, for several reasons. One of her waiters invites police detectives into her kitchen and her annoying ex shows up again to brag and try to get her to come back to work for him – all after another bothersome letter arrives that morning! Chloe is determined to handle them all herself. Never again will she be subservient to, or dependent on someone else – especially a man. So when the big and frustratingly handsome Detective Mallory literally picks her up to prevent her from “handling” her ex with a wooden spoon, she’s exasperated at his intrusion. But she’s also flustered at how much she likes the feel of his muscular arm around her. Colt and Chloe’s meeting could signal the start of something interesting, if the writer of those letters doesn’t get his way first… less
