Fake Dating the Unsuspecting Heiress
Maggie Dallen - 2020
Well, she's ready for anything...except Colton Parker. Nothing could have prepared this sheltered heiress for the hottie deputy with his sexy smiles and flirty charm. After a lifetime of avoiding the spotlight, she's not used to being noticed, let alone pursued by a guy as charming and charismatic as Colton. Not unless they have ulterior motives, at least. But here in this small town, no one knows her true identity, right? So maybe she's ready to give love another shot. Even if Colton does seem too good to be true...
When Addison's father hires Colton to be her security detail without her knowledge, he assumes she's going to be the sort of spoiled brat he's seen time and time again come through their tiny little ski town. But then he gets close and realizes...she's not what he expects. But maybe that's all part of her act. Because Addison Reginalds can't really be this sweet or this trusting.

Besides, even if she is as perfect as she seems, he's got plans for the money her father promised. Plans he's not about to throw away just because his new assignment makes his jaded heart feel something. Something alarmingly like love...

Reina Torres - 2018
Defending those in danger comes as easily as breathing.
As a Special Agent for the FBI, Vicente was treated to a front row seat to see how those ‘with’ have an easier shake than those without.

Debutante turned charity maven, everyone sings her praises, until someone wants her dead. Charged with keeping Sloane alive until the threat to her is neutralized, Vincente finds himself up to his neck in contradictions, including how much he wants more than just a few breathless moments with the feisty woman who challenges everything he’s come to believe about the world around him.
As the search for the source of danger comes to a head, it will take the combined resources of San Antonio’s best first responders to protect and save the woman he’s come to love. Will that be enough?
Rogue Love (Kings of Corruption #1)
Michelle St. James - 2017
That’s where he learned the hardest lesson of all — we’re all alone in the end. And nobody can save us. When a raid goes terribly wrong, walking out is almost instinctual. Following the rules is for suckers. There’s only one way to get things done, and that’s to do it off the books. By the time he walks out, he knows there’s only one thing he’ll miss. Her. Nora Murphy never really had a choice. Law enforcement was in her blood. Raised by an old-school Irishman in a houseful of brothers, she learned early on there was only one way to survive. Be stronger. Be smarter. Be better. There was no time for romance. And certainly no time for love. Which made tabling her attraction to friend and fellow agent Braden Kane a no-brainer. But Braden’s defection from the FBI opens the door to their relationship in a new and surprising way. Nora’s still getting her head around the possibilities when she’s assigned an important case involving a string of high-profile crimes with a shocking purpose. She can’t wait to bring down the ring of brash vigilantes — until a connection to Braden reveals itself in the investigation. Now they’re on opposite sides of the law and order coin. Will their love be enough to bridge the gap? Will they survive long enough to find out?
