Cerberus Tactical K9

Military training won't help when the enemy is a force of nature ... All Major Dani Addams wanted when she started up that trail was to mourn and honor her fallen friend. She has no way of knowing the weather is about to turn on her in the worst possible way-or that she's about to meet a man who will change her entire life. Ex-SEAL Trip Williams and his K9 Valor were brought in to rescue a film crew that got caught in the storm. He isn't expecting Dani. But once he finds her, he will keep her safe ... even if he has to disobey direct orders and fight Mother Nature herself. All Dani and Trip have to do to get to happily ever after is weather the storm. Should be simple, right? If only ... Contains mature themes.

He can protect her . . . but only if he can earn her trust first . . . Artist Harper Katz was in the wrong place at the wrong time and heard something she really shouldn't have. Now, she's on the run with a killer on her trail. Her only option is to lay low until she can get out of the country. She can't afford to trust anyone-no matter how much she wishes she could. Ex-Delta Force Operator Ridge Hansen has had a thing for Harper for a long time. So has his tactical K9, Zeus. But persuading Harper to move their relationship from friends to lovers has been tough. He'll still protect her from . . . whoever is after her. All he has to do is convince Harper to let him. Ridge will have to use every skill and protective instinct he has to keep the woman of his dreams alive. He can only hope it'll be enough to get them both safely to happily ever after . . . Contains mature themes.

It'll take more than his battle-hardened instincts to defend her... CIA linguist Sabrin Harris's plans for a relaxing vacation went up in smoke when twenty-six hostages disappeared just north of her grandmother's house in Slovakia. Now, she's been called into action. Her mission is fairly simple. Not allowing herself to be distracted by the hot-as-sin ex-Australian Commando who's sent in to help and defend her will be infinitely more difficult. Iniquus Security operative Ryder Kelly remembers Sabrin as the beautiful woman his dog picked out of the crowd at a tactical K9 competition. When they're assigned to work together, Ryder soon realizes he could fall for her just as easily as his dog Voodoo did. So, all he has to do now is keep Sabrin alive long enough to get to their happily ever after. Easy, right? Their timing is all wrong. Romance was never part of the plan. But with enemies closing in, the fragile bond Sabrin and Ryder have formed might be all that allows them to save the day-and each other. Contains mature themes.

It'll take every instinct this warrior has to get them out alive . . . Heath "Ares" Sterling thought he'd never see Hailey again. But now that fate-and Iniquus Logistics-has brought them together again, he'll do whatever it takes to earn a second chance with the one who got away. If only they were meeting under less deadly circumstances . . . Hailey Stapleton hates the idea of being a damsel in distress. But when her latest humanitarian efforts land her in a warzone, she needs help fast. It shouldn't surprise her that Ares races to her rescue-or that she's as attracted to him as ever. Too bad their timing couldn't be worse . . . Can Ares-and his K9 partner Judge-get Hailey to safety and convince her to take one more shot at happily ever after? His instincts say yes. Racing against time, Ares's job is keeping Hailey alive as they struggle together for survival and a chance at forever love. Contains mature themes.

His rescue instincts are top notch. But fighting Mother Nature might be tough, even for him . . . Dr. Tara Alvarez has spent so much time in her lab that she almost forgets how to interact with humans. But all her sacrifices will be worth it when her experiments succeed, and she's able to help save the world. Hopefully, an impending hurricane, a dangerous misunderstanding, and the heroic arrival of her childhood crush won't drag her too far off track . . . Ex-Navy SEAL Austin Mace has executed countless missions with his K9 partner, Diesel. But nothing in his training prepared him for rescuing Tara-his best friend's little sister-or the protective, possessive feelings she stirs in him. Now all he has to do is figure out how to get her to safety before the hurricane destroys everything in its path . . . including them . . . Is happily ever after possible in the eye of a storm? Contains mature themes.

He has the instincts of a hero. Whether he can be her hero again remains to be seen . . . Ex-SEAL Asher Gideon's work at Cerberus Tactical with his K9 partner, Hoover, keeps him busy and content. He didn't even know his life was missing anything until he saw her again. Now, he has to fight to get through the mission without losing focus and ruining everything . . . or getting them both killed. CIA officer McKayla Pickard never thought she'd see Asher again. At one time, she'd been sure he was the love of her life. But with a dangerous mission ahead, she'll have to decide if a second chance at happily ever after is worth the potential devastating-and deadly-fallout. Her mission is simple. Find the pressure points amongst the Russian elite to develop CIA assets. His is even simpler. Keep her safe. But all it takes is an unexpected explosion to raise the stakes to an uncomfortable height. To survive with their heads (and hearts) intact, they'll have to rely on the one thing they thought they'd lost long ago. Each other . . . Contains mature themes.
