Either way he was a condemned man.

So here I sit, writing letters that have no hope of reaching you until I am free to deliver them myself. With luck, that will be soon. For your eighteenth birthday is coming, and I intend to be there...

For years, a trumped-up charge--and a Central American prison cell--kept Jax Winchester from claiming the girl he loved. Now he was a free man. Or was he?

For only the memory of Kelly O'Brien-- and the letters he'd composed to her--had kept him going. But once he was released, he knew he was still a prisoner--in a jail of his own making. The way out this time? Keep that promise he'd made to Kelly all those years ago--and claim her for his own...

Agent: Jared Sullivan

Mission: Rescue missing agent Dr. Morrow and discover Rebelian Dictator General DeBruzkya's plan for his collection of stolen gems.

Deepest Secret: Jared believed nothing could restore his belief in the future, until he met the woman he wanted to build one with.
Retired search and rescue specialist Jared Sullivan had gotten out of the secret agent game--a fact that meant nothing to ARIES director Sam Hatch. Against his better judgment, Jared agreed to his mentor's request to take on one last mission. He had no idea doing so would lead him to Alexis Warner, a beautiful but unknown ARIES agent determined to discover what was hiding behind Jared's dark amber eyes. But Alexis has shocking secrets of her own. Somewhere in her missing memory is the key to DeBruzkya's insidious intent. And if the truth doesn't surface soon, not only will Jared and Alexis lose their chance for a life together, they might not have a world left to live it in.

FAMILY SECRETS: No one is who they seem.

THE STAKES HAD NEVER BEEN HIGHER

Tracking a dangerous serial killer was all in a day's work for Special Agent Mary Paris. She had the badge, the gun, the years of training, to handle it. What she couldn't handle was Clint Sinclair.

The sinfully sexy slow-talkin', bull-ridin' cowboy was responsible for helping her go undercover as a rodeo clown. There were just two small problems. One, the big-city agent didn't like bulls. And two, her new teacher was driving her to distraction. And if she couldn't start keeping her head on her job and her hands off of Clint, she'd wind up with more than just a broken heart . . .

A WHISPER IN THE DARKNESS

Eve Abernathy knows that her fiancé, paranormal expert Lucien Thorpe, is terribly absentminded, but she can't quite believe that he's left her at the altar . . . again. Eve is ready to call the whole thing off when a note delivered to the church chills her to the bone. "I didn't forget," it says . . . in several frighteningly different hands - none of them Lucien's.

Soon Eve is on her way to the abandoned hotel where Lucien has been researching supernatural activity, accompanied by members of the Plummerville Ghost Society, in town for the wedding. She's not prepared to see the man she loves drained and exhausted by the spirits he'd channeled - and when things begin to go bump in the night with a vengeance, she's terrified. That the earthbound shades haunting the echoing rooms will not let Lucien rest. That she and Lucien will never escape the snowbound hotel. That their wedding - their marriage - is simply an empty dream . . .
