When He Loves by Cynthia Eden

He’s been in love with her since the day they met.  Love at first sight? Sure, you can call it that. Love, obsession, whatever. All Nash Quinn knows is that from the instant he met Delaney Daniels, he fell for her. Hard. Completely. And now…she’s marrying someone else. A man who most people believe to be a prince charming, but Nash knows the guy is a real nightmare, and there is no way– no way– that he can let his Delaney go through with the marriage. Because as soon as she’s married, she’ll be dead. So he has to kidnap the bride. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it. Nash rides in on his motorcycle, and when the priest asks if anyone objects, Nash steals the bride. Only…Delaney comes far too willingly. She jumps on the back of his motorcycle, and they ride off into the night…even as the groom gives chase. She’s in trouble, and the man who once shattered her heart is the only one who can help her. Right before her wedding, Delaney found out just how dangerous and evil her groom-to-be truly was. Desperate and afraid, she’d sent a frantic text to her former best friend, Agnes, hoping for some miracle. She never expected her miracle to come in the form of Agnes’s brother Nash–gorgeous, big, powerful Nash. He storms the wedding and carries her out into the night. Yes, she’s heard the whispers about him. She even has secretly suspected that he might work for the government, but when she learns that big, bad Nash is actually a spy…A spy who just saved her from certain death… everything changes.  The CIA wants to use her. Nash just wants to protect her.  He has to hide Delaney. Has to whisk her away and stay close to her every moment. But emotions and needs that Nash has held in check for far too long are pushing past his control. This is finally his chance–his chance to have Delaney, and Nash is not going to let her slip through his fingers again. He’ll be the one to put a ring on her finger. And to set a trap for her ex. Another wedding? Sure, why not? When the CIA wants to nab her ex, Delaney is all-in on the plan. Even if that plan means traveling to Vegas, fake marrying the hot and brooding Nash, and risking everything to bring down a killer. She can do this…but, she may just lose her heart to Nash along the way. Her heart, and potentially, her life. Author’s Note: He’s stealing a bride, and he will not give her back. Nash has been in love with Delaney for years, and he is not going to let anyone hurt her. He’ll step from the shadows, he’ll protect her, and he’ll finally claim the woman who owns his soul. If anyone tries to get in his way, he’ll show them just how dangerous a real protector can truly be…

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Lieutenant Eve Dallas must hunt down the deadly snipers terrorizing Manhattan in this fast-paced In Death thriller from J. D.

The victims: a talented young skater, a doctor, and a teacher. As random as random can be. Eve Dallas has seen a lot of killers during her time with the NYPSD but never one like this. A review of the security videos reveals that the victims were killed with a tactical laser rifle fired by a sniper, who could have been miles away when the trigger was pulled. And though the list of locations where the shooter could have set up seems endless, the number of people with that particular skill set is finite: police, military, professional killer. Eve’s husband, Roarke, has unlimited resources—and genius—at his disposal. And when his computer program leads Eve to the location of the sniper, she learns a shocking fact: There were two—one older, one younger. Someone is being trained by an expert in the science of killing, and they have an agenda. Central Park was just a warm-up.

His latest case involves him playing the role of a wealthy and bored businessman as he sneaks into the inner circle of some very dangerous individuals. The tool he uses to get into that circle? The lovely and innocent Simone Sailor. Fun fact…She’s using  him . Men always underestimate her…Too bad. That’s their mistake. Simone has a job to do, and nothing will stop her from achieving her goal. She has some trinkets to retrieve for a very upset family.  Retrieval specialist– yep, that’s her .  She thinks that title sounds so much better than say…thief. So she lies, she pretends, and she gets the job done.  One hundred percent success rate . Playing innocent and fooling her marks?  Please . That’s something that she can do in her sleep. Except this time, she finds herself getting a little too close to one of her targets…the gorgeous and seemingly clueless Ryan. A bored but way too sexy billionaire. A man who has a touch that sends wildfire racing through her veins. She’s distracted during her heist.  He  distracts her, and she gets caught in the act of  retrieving  property. And death is the punishment. For her…and for Ryan. Uh, oh. Simone  may  have underestimated the danger in her latest job. When she and Ryan are suddenly kidnapped, she realizes that, for the first time in her life, she could seriously use a hero…and turns out, Ryan is not the useless rich boy that she assumed. He’s smart, he’s incredibly dangerous…and Ryan just killed someone without blinking in order to save her life. Oh, and also…he’s saying that she’s under arrest. That he has to keep her close, twenty-four, seven, and that there is now an exceedingly large bounty on her head. She’s his prisoner. His leverage. And…his absolute obsession. Simone is not innocent. She is not sweet. She  is  going to drive Ryan absolutely and utterly insane. He crossed lines with her–so many complicated lines. He’s killed for her, and he will do whatever it takes to keep her  alive.  She’s now a very important witness, and the CIA intends to leverage her knowledge of the international crime world. But…Ryan just wants  her.  And the longer they are together, the hotter the desire between them blazes. But liars aren’t supposed to fall in love. Too bad because Ryan is pretty sure that he’s falling hard for gorgeous Simone. Now, if he can just keep her alive, if he can capture all the bad guys who want her dead, and if he can prove to her that, for the first time in her life, she’s finally found someone that she can truly trust…then maybe this spy will have a chance at a happy ending with the pretty thief who may have stolen his heart. Author’s note: Simone never thought that she’d need a protector, but now, her life is on the line, and a  good guy  is the only one who can keep her alive. On the run, thrown together in close confines and chaos, with their enemies fast on their trail…she has no choice but to rely on Ryan. As for Ryan, he’s about to prove to Simone that this  good guy  knows all about playing dirty, fighting hard, and burning down the world in order to protect the woman who was meant to be his.

A chance encounter reunites two old friends. They never imagined finding each other again, or the attraction and danger that would result. Lexie Greene hasn’t thought about Pierce Cagle in years. So when the popular boy she knew in high school shows up in the middle of the Somali desert, part of the SEAL team rescuing her and a coworker from kidnappers, she’s more than a little shocked. But her surprise turns to awe, then awe to respect…and attraction…when he saves her not once, but twice before they make it safely back to a US Naval ship. Before she can blink, he’s gone from her life again, but not before an emotional goodbye and a promise to keep in touch. Pierce “Midas” Cagle hasn’t thought about Lexie in years. Though he’s not surprised in the least to learn that the shy, kind girl he knew is now an international aid worker, serving the poor both at home and abroad. His attraction to the woman she’s become, however…that’s definitely unexpected. He hates leaving her behind after his mission, but Midas is more thrilled than he can say when she chooses the Hawaiian branch of Food For All for her next assignment.  Their chemistry is just as strong as it was in Somalia, and neither Lexie nor Midas has ever been so happy. Nor could they possibly suspect someone is outraged that Lexie made it out of the desert alive.  ** Finding Lexie is the 2nd book in the SEAL Team Hawaii Series.
