YOU CAN RUN FROM YOUR PAST

The dead always have a story to tell. All he has to do is wait for the truth to be revealed to him. The living trust him with their grief - and their dirty little secrets. Only then is he able to ensure that the dead are given the happy ending they'd been deprived of in life. Only then can he set about playing matchmaker, uniting the dead with their true soul mates ... for all eternity ...

BUT IT WILL CATCH UP TO YOU

Exhuming a body over a contested will is the last thing former FBI profiler Greer Lomax wants to do. Just the thought of it brings on the panic attacks she's fought for two years. Now, as deputy sheriff, Greer Lomax is going to have to face her darkest fears. Becaue the body she's exhumed isn't alone. He's joined by a young woman whose name is on a missing person's list.

WITH A VENGEANCE

The one person Greer can call for help is FBI agent Ash Keller. Ash hasn't forgotten the hot blonde with the too-sexy smile - the one who spend many sizzling nights in his bed - and he hasn't forgiven her for leaving him behind when she quit the Bureau. But he's not about to let her go solo on this one, not after last time. Working the case sparks the fiery attraction they've tried to deny for too long and unleashes a passion they can't control - one that could blind them to the most dangerous mistakes of the past ...

When it's this hot, someone's bound to get burned!

To say Emily Dugan's life has been a blur is an understatement. She's lost her job, her boyfriend is in love with someone else and he's kicked her out of their apartment. Ready to recoup, she's heading to sunny California to visit her grandmother for some relaxation. But when she finds out Grandy's cooking school has been plagued by a series of mysterious fires, Emily's shocked. Only her surprise turns to instant heat when she meets sexy-as-sin arson investigator Drew Perry.

When Emily literally faints at his feet, Drew's certainly flattered. Of course, her collapse may have had more to do with her pregnancy than him! Now, instead of focusing on the firebug on the loose, Drew finds himself fantasizing about Emily…day and night. And what's a guy to do when the woman you want makes it crystal clear she's having the same delicious thoughts?
