Special Agent Lucy Reynolds is searching for her missing sister in Atlanta. She'll do whatever it takes to find her, even if that means compromising the investigation of the sexy detective already on the case. Detective Kurt Milton doesn't play by rules when lives are at stake. He'll take the enigmatic agent with the conflict-of-interest along for the ride if it'll get him closer to the enemy... and to her. Will this untamed officer be Lucy's shield from the flames as they attempt to burn a sex-trafficking ring to the ground? Or will they both die, trying? **This novel was a Top Ten finalist in Harlequin's 2014 So You Think You Can Write competition.

When Helena finds a phone on the night train, she decides to text the first number in the list of contacts in order to figure out who it belongs to. ***** Helena Santos hasn't had the easiest life. At twenty-one, she's the legal guardian of her teenage sister, in the final year of her nursing degree, and working night shifts at her small-town's local bar. And things get a lot more complicated when she finds a phone on the train home and decides to text the first number in the list of contacts, in hopes of tracking down its owner. That contact? Adam Bauer; the charismatic, sweet, and refreshingly honest older brother of the person who lost their phone. As the two continue talking, they can't ignore the chemistry and growing feelings between them, but life is never that simple.

Though the more time she spends getting to know her new roommate, the more it becomes apparent that Ethan is the exact type of guy she could fall for. When lines begin to blur and drama from the past threatens to tear them apart, can the two of them find a way to keep both their friendship-and their relationship-from crumbling to pieces?

Franzela adalah seorang wanita yang terlihat normal dari luar. Tetapi sebenarnya ada luka yang menganga di dalam hatinya dan ia tidak sanggup untuk menyembuhkannya. Bukan luka dari seorang kekasih, tetapi luka atas kematian ayahnya yang ia saksikan. Kematian ayahnya yang ia pikir terjadi karena sang ibu serta pria idaman lainnya yang melakukannya. Pisau yang dipegang oleh sang ibu, serta botol kaca yang pecah dalam genggaman pria idaman lain yang merupakan sahabat karib dari ayahnya, kedua hal itu membuat Franzela yakin bahwa mereka adalah tersangka dari kematian sang ayah. Franzela selalu menjadikan apa yang ia lihat sebagai fakta bukan praduga. Ia menutup telinga, ia membiarkan kebenciannya pada ibu kandungnya sendiri mendarah daging. Hingga datang Ananda yang mengetahui segala hal tentang Franzela, bahkan tanpa ia mengisahkannya Siapakah Ananda ini? Dan apakah segala dugaan Franzela selama ini memang itulah kenyataannya ataukah ada fakta lain dari semua itu?
