In JACKED, Debra has the birthday of her life thanks to her husband Jack. But now it’s Christmas. How is she going to one-up him on the present scale? Or maybe two-up him? It’s a Christmas neither one of them will ever forget in this erotic holiday season.

On his fortieth birthday Jack Manning had his own private pity party until a pixie showed up and he was soon "all jacked up". Jack Manning had carried an image with him all of his adult life of the woman he planned to marry. She'd be every man's ideal-slender with masses of blonde curls and sapphire blue eyes. Darcy O'Connor has been the odd-girl-out all her life. Barely five feet tall, she wears outrageous clothes, styles her short black hair in spikes and has developed a smart mouth to cover her insecurities. When she walks into Eli's, the favoured neighbourhood hangout, and meets Jack on his birthday, it's like a collision of the planets. Instantly they rub each other the wrong way. But very hot sex keeps drawing them together. Will they burn each other out before they realise what their feelings really are?

An action-packed debut that pits a scholarly beauty against a cocky and sexier-than-sin FBI agent. When brains meets brawn, the bad guys don’t stand a chance FBI agent Jack Mitchell’s arrogance and take-charge attitude usually garner him the best assignments in the field—and the most compliant assets. But Aubrey Sullivan, a brilliant librarian with a photographic memory, is no ordinary asset...without realizing it, she’s managed to piss off the biggest mobster in North America. And somewhere in her picture-perfect memory is a secret that many would kill to keep quiet... But since Jack barged into her life, librarian Aubrey Sullivan has been abducted at gunpoint, taken on a death-defying car chase, and kissed to within an inch of madness—and she’s starting to think it may be smarter to ditch Mr. Sexy FBI. Jack has never met a more infuriating (or alluring) asset in the field. If she would just do what he says, they may have a chance of getting out of this mess alive. “McCall knows how to deliver!” – New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Enoch “Snappy dialogue, nonstop action, and sexy writing.
