Struggling with a tragedy in his family, winery manager, Brodie Butler, needs to put his grief on hold to carry out the promise of delivering the tragic news of his brother’s death and a special box to the enigmatic Peyton Wolf. But instead of closing a chapter in his late brother’s life, Brodie opens a new one in his own after he meets a woman he could envision himself being with forever. Torn between familial loyalty and his desire for Peyton, Brodie’s guilty conscience threatens to destroy any chance he may have with her. Will they find a future together when Peyton’s heart belonged to a hero Brodie could never measure up to? Maddox The Hatfields and McCoys have nothing on the Butler and Avila families. The feud between them had been going on for years when Maddox Butler came to the rescue and saved the Avila’s Los Caballeros winery from certain ruin. Now it’s Maddox and his brothers that are threatening the winery’s future—at least that what Alex’s family believes. Neither the feud, nor the fence between the vineyards has ever been enough to keep the two determined young lovers apart. Will their love heal the wounds of the past to reunite the families a second time? Or will it drive the wedge deeper and make them choose family over love? Naughton He’s a loner by choice. She’s a winemaker in a man’s world. Harboring a secret that could tear his family apart, Naughton Butler chooses to take on life alone. But when he and his brother inherit four hundred acres of prime vineyard property, it’s up to them to decide how to manage both. To do so, the brothers hire the new kick-ass, hotter-than-hell winemaker, Bradley St. John. Landing a job at the Butler Ranch is Bradley’s dream come true. But when Naughton thinks she’s nothing more than a joke, she sets out to prove that a woman is the best person for a man’s job. As she shows off her skills and talents, Naughton realizes Bradley’s more woman than he ever imagined. Mercer He promised to protect her… Not to love her. Mercer Bryant promised his deceased partner that he’d secretly protect Quinn Sullivan at any cost. As a former CIA operative, Mercer knows his way around intense and stealthy operations. Trained in combat, he can get out of any situation—and into any woman’s bed. But when he starts to feel something more for the stunning Quinn, he can’t stay away. Shipped off to boarding school at a young age, the feisty Quinn doesn’t need a man to watch over her. But when she finds herself in danger, the only place she feels safe is the arms of the irresistible and rugged Marine. Hell bent on protecting her, Mercer takes on the vengeful Russians who are responsible for his partner’s disappearance.

    But he is then presented with a case that challenges his research skills in his quest to find the killer of a woman murdered more than one hundred and eighty years ago. Thoughts of his own family history are quickly and violently pushed to one side as Morton rushes to complete his investigation before other sinister elements succeed in derailing the case. The Spyglass File: Morton Farrier was no longer at the top of his game. His forensic genealogy career was faltering and he was refusing to accept any new cases, preferring instead to concentrate on locating his own elusive biological father. Yet, when a particular case presents itself, that of finding the family of a woman abandoned in the midst of the Battle of Britain, Morton is compelled to help her to unravel her past. Using all of his genealogical skills, he soon discovers that the case is connected to The Spyglass File—a secretive document which throws up links which threaten to disturb the wrongdoings of others, who would rather its contents, as well as their actions, remain hidden forever. The Missing Man: It was to be the most important case of Morton Farrier’s career in forensic genealogy so far. A case that had eluded him for many years: finding his own father. Harley ‘Jack’ Jacklin disappeared just six days after a fatal fire at his Cape Cod home on Christmas Eve in 1976, leaving no trace behind. Now his son, Morton must travel to the East Coast of America to unravel the family’s dark secrets in order to discover what happened to him.

    A long-awaited vacation in Grand Cayman ends too soon for Rutledge and Detective Beth Watkins when Beth learns that someone has killed her houseguest, Elaine Ogilvy. They return quickly to Key West and, from the moment of their arrival, events suggest they might be in danger as well. A photographer who prefers ad agency and magazine jobs, Alex has no training in police work. Still, he often gets drawn into Florida Keys investigations. Monroe County Sheriff, Fred Chicken Neck Liska, has Alex’s back (usually), and The Aristocrats—off-kilter private eyes Dubbie Tanner and Wiley Fecko—provide off-the-books surveillance, background checks and info gathering. Everyone knows that success is not guaranteed. The victim’s father, Parke Ogilvy, whom Watkins knew long ago, comes to the island and offers the names of the ex-lovers of his daughter, one of whom could be in the Florida Keys. DNA crime evidence, a second murder, threats against friends and, for Alex, a solid link to events in the past boost the peril. Even with law enforcement at full force, Rutledge senses that only his actions will lead to a crime solution.

    Since then, twelve more children have been abducted, and the man responsible is still at large. With the abductor taunting the detectives with mysterious texts, they have pushed themselves to the brink, and their obsession of bringing the kidnapper to justice could cost them everything.

When Noah fails to recognize this fact, Sarah becomes a hostage and pawn in a battle to the death.There's only one tiny chance to save her, but it will mean Noah must go unarmed and alone to meet his nemesis.
