THE SILVER LINING

Meghan Bennett is a desperate woman running for her life, and the one place she's sure she'll be safe is the old cabin in the Eastern Sierras she inherited from her father. Exhausted, and fighting a nasty flu, Meg can't believe someone is squatting in her cabin. The tall, handsome, bearded stranger who answers the door is her worst nightmare. Grumpy, growly and intractable, she can't convince him to leave. When she nearly collapses, she finds herself on the couch in front of a welcome fire. Over the next few days she thinks she can trust this man with more than her safety. Too late, she learns he has betrayed her, and he shatters her trust right along with her heart.

Declan Murphy has been trying to rebuild his life, and he revels in the solitude his old friend and mentor's cabin provides. When a gorgeous, pissed-off woman shows up in the middle of a cold, snowy night insisting the cabin is hers and he needs to get out, Dex is ready to shut the door in her face - until he realizes she's sick, and even he's not that big a Neanderthal. When he finds out she's the daughter of the man who'd owned the cabin, and that she's the biggest asset in the investigation he's working on with the FBI, he can't believe how screwed he is. He's fallen hard for the stubborn, independent beauty, yet he can't tell her the truth about what he's doing. He knows when she finds out, he's going to lose the woman he hadn't been looking for but needs more than his next breath.

Yet, new resident Emma Kincaid is determined to keep him at arm's length, and with good reason. But vandalism, arson, and a violent attack have her rethinking her stance. Has someone from her past caught up with her, or is the escalating threat coming from within her newfound community? Sparks fly as Brad races against time to keep her safe, and passions combust when they join forces to combat the danger.

Series: The Jamesons US Marshals, Book 2

A BEAUTIFUL DECEPTION

US Marshal Ellie Jameson has moved on since a one-night stand with hot law student Sam Creed, a night he’d made her believe was so much more. She hardly ever thinks of him. Really. When assigned to a new case, she’s blindsided and comes face to face with the man who broke her heart. Federal judge Sam Creed is being threatened by domestic terrorists, and guess who’s assigned to pose as his fiancée? Good thing thirteen years was long enough for him to forget she ever existed.

Nothing’s more important to Judge Creed than the rule of law. His focus is bringing an extremist militia group to justice. Having a marshal pose as his girlfriend was his idea, but when Eleanor Jameson moves in with him, he finds her damned distracting, and he’s having a hard time remembering their engagement isn’t real. As the stakes get higher, Sam finds that love has a way of changing life’s priorities.

Hidden Loyalty

Author: Diane Benefiel
Series: The Jamesons US Marshals, Book 3

Chief Deputy US Marshal Seth Jameson has mastered the art of hiding his emotions. Some might call the skill a survival technique. He calls it smart. He doesn’t need anything that could trip him up and jeopardize the most important operation of his career.

Seth has managed to keep his attraction to Deputy Marshal Bella Nikolaev well hidden, but posing as an engaged couple while undercover blows his control to shreds.

Bella Nikolaev doesn’t trust anyone since she’s learned the people closest to you let you down. Case in point? She’s in love with her boss, the oh-so-hot Seth Jameson, and the one time she allows herself to believe in him, he proves that showing vulnerability is a big mistake. The problem is, the consequences of that one time can’t be ignored.

On a mission to find the kidnapped son of a federal judge, which would bring the fugitive Richard Jameson to justice, Bella and Seth are once again thrown together and are losing the battle of their hearts. In a situation where one wrong move can mean death, they have to depend on each other to survive in more ways than one.
