You can tell a lot about a person by the way they like to be touched. How much power does a simple touch possess? When Hannah Hayes put in her bid at the charity auction little did she know she’d impulsively won an auction for one unforgettable night, or that being touched could be so transformative. Ptero and Jackal understand the incredible power of physical contact. They understand its ability to awaken desires never experienced before. Will Hannah be ready to accept this challenge, or will she discover that the power of touching can be too much to handle?
After a special ops mission goes south, Colton shows up in his best friend’s hometown, determined to honor the promise he made when his platoon brother was dying in his arms: to look after the man’s little sister, Meadow. He didn’t know that promise would mean working on a mountainside ranch, raising cattle while she trains the horses. Or that his new boss would be his friend’s father—a man who doesn’t hide his contempt that Colton caused the death of his only son. Which is what makes what comes next even harder, because the ranch isn’t helping subdue Colton’s bad boy nature any more than the military did…and while claiming his boss’s daughter for his own seems unconscionable when he’s already taken his boss’s son’s life, Meadow’s relentless teasing sparks Colton’s darkest inclinations yet.
Eli is handsome, suave, and oozes charm. He’s a master of getting out of sticky situations and getting what he wants. After a sweet kiss for my 18th birthday, I once thought he wanted me. I was wrong, and when he turned his back and walked away, I was sure we’d never see each other again. But as Eli wades through the treacherous waters of political corruption, an underground drug ring, and a cop killer on the loose, he finds himself in over his head and his hands bound by bureaucracy. I can cut through the red tape. Having been raised on the streets of Seattle and familiar with the seedy underground, I’m tasked to help Eli with his investigation. I return to the place where my old life ended and my new one began, but I’m fearless—armed with faith, a weapon, and a team at my six. Do I dare risk my heart once again as Eli and I discover we work better together than apart? And if I do, what will it cost me in the end?

With the past and future vying for her attention, Scarlett is forced to make a choice: live with the mess she’s created, or place her trust in someone who has always let her down — herself.
