Books in the Guardian Security series

They're trying to kill her, and she doesn't know why...Kathryn Burke knows only that she has to get far away as fast as she can. In a frantic, cross-country odyssey, she transforms from pliable Kathryn to feisty, determined Kate Griffin, staying one step ahead of the killers on her trail. Then Fate delivers her into the hands of a dark knight with a tortured past. The safety he offers is as tempting as he is.After having his perfect life ripped apart, recluse Quinn sees protecting Kate as his chance for redemption. He never plans on wanting the guarded beauty, never mind falling for her. Denying the explosive chemistry between them is useless, and as danger closes in, he must fight to expose the killer or risk history repeating itself.

Lisa Mallory's marriage from hell ended with her husband's unsolved murder. Four years later, her eight-year-old son, Jamie, is kidnapped. When every other avenue of finding him fails, she turns to her brother's best friend. He's not the man she'd have chosen, but to get her son back, she'll suffer anything...even the desire he stirs that she'd thought long dead. Ethan Caine, former Marine/special ops agent, is dealing with his own private hell. All he wants is to be left alone with a bottle of whiskey to drown the guilt of surviving a mission gone wrong. When he finally agrees to go after Jamie, he certainly doesn't want the boy's mother slowing him down. Besides, she makes him ache to have her naked and beneath him. Worse, she stirs dreams of the future...something he doesn't deserve. Passion explodes between Ethan and Lisa in the exotic Quintana Roo jungle, even as the past and present threaten to steal it all. This book was previously published under the title Redemption and has been heavily revised.
