    About this series

    It's not a mid-life crisis if you're finally doing something you love, right?

    Separating from the Air Force after thirteen years may seem drastic to some, but Zoe Acevedo is finally doing something for herself. Opening an independent bookstore in Haven Springs, North Carolina, is a major undertaking, but Zoe has a plan and a list. What she doesn't have is time for distractions like her interfering family, her cheating ex, or the sexy neighbor who always manages to find her in the most awkward situations.

    As a Haven Springs police officer, Tim Larken has dedicated his life to protecting and serving. He learned the hard way that the damsel in distress doesn't always want to be saved, but somehow he manages to help his curvy new neighbor out of one tight spot after another.

    Their attraction is undeniable, but when true disaster strikes will that be enough for two Imperfect Hearts to heal together?

    Contains mature themes.

      As an Air Force medic, Bree Marks saw the worst the War on Terror had to dish out. Now a physical therapist, she uses her experience to help other veterans heal from their physical wounds while she battles her own emotional damage. Blaming himself for his best friend's suicide, former Army Ranger Jase Larken, retreated from life. To honor his best friend's memory and assuage his guilt, he started an outdoor adventure company to help veterans with PTSD. Bree had better things to do than catch her cheating fiance in bed with another woman. Jase is something better-for a night at least. For the first time in years, Jase wanted more. When he finds her again, he doesn't give her another chance to run. Jase's protectiveness grates on Bree's independent nature. She's dealt with her fair share of alpha-male door kickers and doesn't need one telling her what to do now. But as a new danger emerges, Bree and Jase must face their pasts, before someone's obsession with Bree destroys any chance they have of a future. Contains mature themes.

      Denise Reynolds's tightly controlled life is thrown off kilter when she's given custody of her young cousins. There are days she has a hard enough time getting herself out of bed, never mind two precocious kids. If that wasn't enough, Chris Nolton comes strolling back into town as suddenly as he left it. She'd broken her own rules and given him a chance once before, only to have him ghost on her. But he's not there for her this time. No, he's leading the FBI Task Force intent on capturing the kids' biological father. A man who was sent to prison for manslaughter. A man who was released five years too early. A man who wants his kids back. The past has a way of repeating itself and once again, Denise finds herself defending the innocent against the evil of the world. One wrong decision, one second guess, could have devastating consequences. To protect the most important people in her life, she'll need to trust the one man with the power to break her. Contains mature themes.

      "Please, Jordan. It's Emme." The last thing Major Jordan Grant expected was to be pulled off his unit's deployment for a civilian mission. But when Titan calls, you answer-especially when the mission is to rescue the younger sister of your childhood best friend. Moments away from death, NGO nurse Emme France could only pray for a miracle. The last person she expected to see in the smoke and dust was Jordan Grant, her teenage crush and litmus test of all the men she'd dated ever since. Lying low at Titan's exotic Abu Dhabi headquarters while the media furor around her rescue settles, Emme and Jordan explore a mutual attraction that is no longer young and innocent. Days in the desert paradise ignite desire and blur reality . . . until they return home, where Jordan rejoins his deployed unit and Emme is left alone to reevaluate her life and priorities. Their passion was forged in the fires of combat. Will the home fires be enough to keep the burn alive? Contains mature themes.
