Against The Law

Former U.S. Army Ranger Devlin Raines is mostly retired from his investigation business – and definitely retired from getting involved with beautiful women. But when Lark Delaney asks him to find her four-year-old niece who was put up for adoption as a baby, Dev can’t say no.

The investigation soon takes a dangerous turn when Dev discovers that the girl’s parents have been murdered and the toddler has been taken. Lark needs Dev now more than ever, and he struggles to fight his growing attraction to her. He can’t trust his judgment around Lark, and with the life of the little girl – and their own – at stake, Dev can’t afford to let down his guard...

Against The Storm

Maggie O’Connell, a well-known Houston photographer, is being followed. Desperate for help, she hires Trace Rawlins, a former army ranger turned private investigator. When Trace meets Maggie, he knows she’s trouble. He takes her case anyway, thinking it will be an easy job. However, he soon senses that something’s wrong – and it becomes clear Maggie isn’t telling him everything. If the menacing calls and messages are real, why won’t the police help her? And if they aren’t real, what is she hiding?

As Trace digs deeper to find the source of Maggie’s threats, he discovers a secret that no one was meant to uncover. And the only puzzle left to be solved is whether the danger comes from an unknown stalker...or from the woman he’s trying his hardest not to fall for.
