Chasing Wendy Chase Owen doesn’t sleep much. What he does do is watch the world very carefully, keeping a wary eye out to make sure that his Marine brothers, recently returned with him from Iraq and Afghanistan, are safe. Another thing Owen doesn’t do much of is open up to anyone about the painful scars he bears from losing his dear friend overseas. Then Wendy walks into his life one night at a diner, and Owen’s life takes a sharp right turn. So does Wendy’s, for that matter. Neither the diner waitress nor the Marine have any idea that, together, they will begin to rebuild each other’s lives—and each other. There’s just the matter of Wendy’s abusive ex to be dealt with, along with the stalker terrorizing Owen’s deceased brother-in-arm’s wife. Hacking Taylor Brynn Hardy made a mistake in high school that has haunted her into her twenties. Arriving at Walsh Technologies, she is in no way looking for a new start—the same demons that have always ridden her are right there in the cubicle beside her. When Bradley Taylor, head of the contract team Brynn will be working with, starts asking dangerous questions, Brynn knows it’s only a matter of time before her shady past comes to light. Will Taylor trust the rapport they’ve built between each other enough to listen to Brynn’s side of things, or will he turn her in and blow up her carefully reconstructed life? Finding Thomson Ever since returning from Iraq, Rory Thomson has been making his way through life day by day, basically at survival level. He’s found fulfillment in his work at a rec center with urban teenagers, but it doesn’t fill the void that his experiences in the war have left in him. Then Beth walks in, desperately searching for a student in her class who has gone missing, and Thomson is drawn into not only the mystery of Aiden’s disappearance, but of how he can develop a relationship with the beautiful, caring woman. Ultimately, Beth’s love might just prove the anchor that saves Aiden and Thomson from their demons. And they just might her saviors, too. Chasing Jensen Chloe’s evenings as a bartender, working to pay for grad school, are fairly routine. Loud music, drunk people, and obnoxious jerks who hit her on nonstop are the norm. But when one particular guy’s flirtation turns into protection when he defends her from an assault by a customer, Chloe starts to look at the handsome Marine differently. She has no idea that, in starting to explore a relationship with Byrne Jensen, she is putting her life in danger. Nor does she have any idea that he will put himself in the line of fire again and again, to defend the beautiful woman who is helping him begin to heal from the trauma of war. Loose Ends After months of living rough on the streets and in sleazy motels, Chelsea is more than ready for some kind of a break. She doesn’t anticipate that it will come in the form of Garrett Moss, a former Marine who is hot on the trail of her former boyfriend’s boss—a crime boss, to be more precise. Joining forces with Moss has the unexpected side effect of giving Chelsea a warm, clean bed to sleep on, with a solid, protective body beside her. A less pleasant side effect is the arrival of the crime boss’s goons, hell-bent on ending Moss—and now Chelsea, too, due to her association with him.

    Now someone’s willing to kill to stop her investigation. And only secretive deputy Quinn Dawson, whose grandfather may have faked Dana’s death to protect her, can keep her safe. But a killer’s dead set on burying the past—and them—for good.
