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?

Suspicious agents in suits roam the streets without an explanation. They're staring straight at me. The new Chemistry teacher is NOT who he says he is. I'm doing things I never thought I could. Like, mutant-level things... Lauren, Luc's dead twin sister, hid something from everyone. Something important that may have lead to her demise and that could lead to ours. Hunters are in town.

In the wake of ridding Oakwood of Wanderers, other dangers come creeping in and they're somehow linked to Luc's absent twin. The past returns to haunt the mutants in inconspicuous ways. Riley's life is yet again in jeopardy, but this time she's not alone. Luc and his family are all thrown into the teetering balance. More secrets are uncovered. A trap dawns on them all.

Tell Me It's Forever
"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?" She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers. What happened next really surprised me. *** Liya Abrechtt, a popular girl at college, starting her career, straight A student, everyone loves her, her life is practically normal. Until it isn't.

FRACTURED: A Broken series novel, Book 4 (PREVIEW)
They thought they had everything figured out, but the one thing they didn't plan for was me. One minute and ten seconds... Without a heartbeat. Without breath. Without thought. That's how long I was able to abandon my heartache before the doctors brought me back. I know I should've been thankful for the miracle. Few people get to experience death and live to tell about it. Yet, as I lay in a sterile hospital room, reliving the moment I became a martyr for the woman who didn't want me anymore-who gave her heart back to her last love-I felt the weight of some brutal truths. I'd lost my girl, my mobility, and my life. I wallowed in them. Took them out on the people unlucky enough to care for me. That included the beautiful blonde nurse with chocolate brown eyes and a smile that made me forget the pain that put me there. But I left her ten months ago, and I didn't expect to see her again. At the same mall. About thirty feet away. With a man's arm wrapped around her neck, restraining her. And he's not alone. His men have taken everyone hostage. He's holding her for ransom. And no one is getting out alive unless I risk it all again. ___________ PLEASE NOTE: This book contains dark themes and sensitive subject matter that may be difficult for some readers.

In the Line of Desire
"She's just my rookie." and "He's just my Sergeant." Only if it were that simple there'd be no story to tell... Lucy Chen joined the LAPD to prove herself. What she didn't expect was to be paired with someone likeTim Bradford-her no-nonsense training officer whose bark is exactly as sharp as his bite. At first, their partnership is a clash of wills, but underneath the tension simmers something neither of them dares name. When Lucy's personal life implodes and Tim's fractured relationship pushes him past his limits, the two find themselves circling closer-caught between duty, desire, and the unspoken bond that grows with every shift. From patrol calls in Los Angeles to an undercover operation in Las Vegas, where they must pose as lovers in order to bring down a dangerous drug syndicate, Tim and Lucy's act becomes harder to separate from reality. Every touch, every glance, every kiss blurs the lines between cover and confession. But with enemies closing in, secrets threatening to surface, and their careers hanging in the balance, one thing becomes clear: the most dangerous risk they'll take may not be the job-it may be each other.
