SLEEPWALKER
It's not that Micayla Lange is afraid of the clinking she hears coming
from the first floor of the empty McMansion she's housesitting for her
Uncle Nicco. She's a cop, after all. It's just that finding out her
boyfriend was cheating on her was enough drama for one night. Now she's
alone on New Year's Eve, wearing flannel pajamas and wielding a Glock 22
as she zeroes in on the unmistakable source of the sound: Uncle Nicco's
private office. Jason Davis steals things for a living, so unexpected
developments are a natural part of the job. Getting caught red-handed by
a hot, pigtail-sporting police officer in what is supposed to be a
gangster's deserted house is just one more twist in the game. Kind of
like finding incriminating photos in Nicco Marino's safe, only to
discover the cop--and the security cameras--have gotten a real good look
at his face. Unfortunately for Mick, she also got a good look at the
damned pictures. Her "uncle" might love her like family, but if he knows
she's seen evidence that implicates him in the murder of a city
councilman, she doesn't like her chances. Which is why she's having a
hard time reconciling her professional instincts with what she is
rapidly concluding is an inescapable fact: she's about to help a
criminal get away with a suitcase full of stolen money. And she's going
with him. Mick and Jason's race for their lives hurtles them through the
dangerous Michigan wilderness on speedboat and snowmobile. As their
adventure heats up and their enemies close in, Mick is torn between her
duty to the force and the combustible passion engulfing her and her
unlikely partner in crime. She'll have to turn Jason in sooner or
later...if they survive. But will they ever get a second chance at love?
SHIVER
If driving a piece-of-crap tow truck through the seediest part of town
with a Smith & Wesson beside her means putting a roof over her son's
head, then Samantha Jones is going to be the best damn repo woman on the
books. The streetwalkers, the drug pushers, the bands of
looking-for-trouble punks haunting the mean streets at midnight don't
intimidate her. These are her people. The guy she finds bound and
bloodied in the trunk of her latest conquest, a flashy new BMW, is a
different breed entirely. Daniel Panterro was certain he was going to
die. Instead, by a stroke of luck, he was beaten to within an inch of
his life and left for dead. But if he's having a bad day, Sam's day is
about to get way worse. Danny knows he hasn't seen the last of the
vicious drug runners who kidnapped him from protective custody. His only
recourse is to take his pretty savior hostage and force her to help him.
There's no going back for Sam and her four-year-old son, Tyler. They're
in way too deep. With ruthless killers stalking their trail, Sam's only
choice is to trust this handsome, menacing stranger. But as she
relinquishes control, Sam feels an unmistakable desire. Could she be
tempted by Danny, who seems intent on protecting her and Tyler from even
his own darkest secrets? And what is the price of falling in love with a
man who operates on the edge of danger -- her heart, her life...or both?
