Special Ops (Stone)

It was supposed to be his final mission. Until an operation gone bad swept a gorgeous, blue-eyed goddess into DEA agent Joe Corda's life. With her sensual beauty and surefire aim, Martine Duquesne made an ideal partner--in business and pleasure. But when a violent skirmish brought a vengeful drug lord after them, she became his new assignment. Forced to flee with Corda halfway across the world, Martine had to trust the rugged stranger with her life. With their very survival at stake, the last thing either expected was to be blindsided by a love that was coming down to the wire....

One minute she was tending an injured patient. The next, her familiar world had vanished and Dr. Solange Micheaux was on the run with Special Agent Jack Mercier, his reluctant partner in a deadly race against time. But his powerful sensuality posed a far graver threat. She was in the wrong place at the wrong time--Jack had no choice but to take her with him. Now Solange was critical to the success of his mission. All he had to do was keep her safe. But as the hours ticked down, the stakes were rising. For each passion-filled moment they shared could be their last...

SPIES, LIESAND…LOVERS… Special Agent Eric Vinland was in one hell of a fix. Because Dawn Moon had seen the killer who'd murdered her boss and stolen a valuable disk, she'd be masquerading as his wife on a Greek island where they hoped to outbid "other" terrorists for that disk. And he couldn't deny that Dawn did something powerful to him. The sexual attraction sparked between them like a high-voltage wire, and she caused him to lose his special, all-defining ability to read people's minds. Without that gift, he and Dawn might not survive Day One. And if they did? Well, this was going to be a long, long assignment…

Dr. Nick Sandro's top-secret mission: to help undercover agent Cate Olin recover from an attempt on her life. The safe house? His own apartment, where her body-which he'd dreamed about for years-was suddenly his responsibility. Nick had loved Cate since childhood, but he'd accepted this job as a favor to her family, to her boss. No way he'd cross the line. For a civilian, Cate's gorgeous doctor sure was secretive. About giving up his career as a surgeon. About not letting Cate in. But when a terrorist hell-bent on revenge came after both of them, saving each other's lives depended on sharing everything.

Compass agent Grant Tyndal had been dispatched to Germany to rescue CIA translator Marie Beauclair from her terrorist captors. But the mission had already been accomplished. The resourceful undercover agent not only escaped, she vowed to go after her kidnappers. Tyndal wouldn't let that happen. One, it was too dangerous. And two-he worked alone. Marie didn't need a bodyguard or a babysitter. What she needed was someone to help her complete a critical mission of her own. But the former Navy SEAL was already shattering her defenses. He awakened passion and tempted her to let down her guard...to risk everything for the promise of forever in his arms....

Her cover: sexy heiress on a French Riviera spree. Her mission: find the terrorist hacker threatening to shut down America's power grid. And SEXTANT agent Tess Bradshaw plans to play this first assignment strictly by the book. But to successfully stay under cover, she needs ex-CIA agent Cameron Cochran's wild-card expertise in breaking all the rules. Cameron has taken this case strictly to clear his name. Helping this innocent newbie strip down to her secrets to play bad-girl bait is a nice but distracting bonus. With the clock ticking and lethal mercenaries closing in, surrendering to each other might be their only chance….
