An onshore hookup that tempts fate and breaks all the rules, could cost them their careers. Lt. Nicole Riley has lived her entire life in the shadow of her highly decorated father and brothers. She can’t risk her heart… or her career falling for a one-night stand. But the strikingly hot stranger she celebrated with after acing her submarine training isn’t going anywhere, at least not without her. He’s on her first undersea assignment and under her skin. Dedicated Naval officer Kyle Hutchinson usually plays by the rules. But temptation strikes when he finds himself serving alongside the beautiful woman he can’t stop thinking about. The cramped quarters of the boat suddenly become much tighter. And with a no-fraternizing rule sinking their attraction into the danger zone, he fights to keep her out of his mind, heart… and bed. As the only female on the sub, Nicole has to work twice as hard to prove she’s capable, all while ignoring her undeniable attraction to her fellow Lieutenant. When a scandal surfaces that could ruin the woman he wants, Kyle puts his reputation… and their future on the line to make things right before it’s too late. Can these two dedicated officers navigate the rocky waters of love and loyalty? Love Runs Deep is the first book in the compelling Changing Tides Contemporary Military Romance series.

When Homicide Inspector Rebecca Mayfield's would-be boyfriend, Richie Amalfi, is named as one of San Francisco's "most enticing bachelors," she's not amused, but she never expected it would lead to his life being threatened. As a restaurant owner, men's upscale clothing store owner, hotelier, and more--handsome bachelors all--are attacked, Rebecca realizes the danger is very real. Who's killing the city's "enticing bachelors" and why? Rebecca must answer those questions as she grapples with her own questions and feelings about Richie. Rebecca soon discovers that where there's smoke there's fire. As she gets closer to the bachelors to learn why they're in danger, she finds their happy surface images hide troubling conflagrations below. When she's forced to dive below the steamy surfaces to learn what's really going on, only Richie has the insider knowledge she needs to do it. And while she might sizzle over Richie, the more she learns about both him and the case, the more she realizes that she may have just moved from the frying pan into the fire--with equally deadly results.

An eerie discovery brings danger and painful reminders of a tragic past ...

Two O'Clock Heist sends San Francisco Homicide Inspector Rebecca Mayfield out of her jurisdiction and out of her depth when her inquiries into the murder of an old friend gain the attention of a gang of Russian mobsters. Richie Amalfi, who Rebecca sees as a charmer with an indifference to the fine points of the law, seems to know a little too much (or maybe a lot too much) about the people who are not only trying to stop Rebecca's investigation, but to stop her permanently. This only makes her question, even more, exactly who Richie is. But for now, he's the only one helping her in the face of threats to her life. Rebecca's interest in Richie grows as the situation takes a deadly turn. Through him, she looks beyond hard evidence to the secrets at the heart of the case, and in turn, to the secrets of her own heart. But through it all, Rebecca has to wonder if she'll end up as dead as a cold Russian winter.

On the run, accused of murder. One cop believes him. And it's her job to bring him in. Rebecca Mayfield has always been a by-the-book cop until Richie Amalfi enters her life--and makes her want to throw the book at him! Now, Richie's accused of murder and runs to Rebecca to help him prove his innocence. She's completely flummoxed by this, but the more she learns about the case, the more convinced she is that he's not guilty. Will she break all the rules to help him, or do her job the way she's been taught? And what are the consequences for either choice? As dangers lurk and more deaths happen, Rebecca discovers there's a lot more to Richie than she thought and a lot more to like than she imagined, she fears not only for her life, but also her heart. If you've missed TV shows like Castle or Remington Steele, you'll enjoy reading about Rebecca and Richie because they, too, give you mystery and humor with a touch of romance.
