Fear Inc.

Ex-cop Maxwell Fear knows all too well what can happen to a witness of a violent crime-which is why he has no choice but to protect her. Sloane Robertson is no longer the woman he met at a dinner party, or the woman he kissed at the front door. She's a client, a job, nothing more than a person who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong damn time. He will keep it professional. He won't get involved in her personal life. And he sure as hell won't try to convince her to ditch the scumbag who calls himself her boyfriend. There's only one thing Max needs to do, one thing he's determined to do-keep Sloane alive. Nothing and no one will stop him from doing his job…not even her.

Ex-Cop Paxton "Tank" Sokolofski's life is shattered-first by a bullet, then by a woman. Now he passes his days tracking down cheating spouses. Not his idea of a good time. When Cori Transue moves in next door, things get a little more interesting. She's a sultry little firecracker, and the way she looks at him definitely gets his attention. However, he doesn't need a woman added to the mix, especially one with even more baggage than he has. But when he hears her screaming, he finds himself knee-deep in a mystery no cop could ignore…and closer to Cori than he'd like. Tank's weathered more than his fair share of broken hearts, broken dreams, and broken noses. But he doesn't know if he can handle Cori…or the brutal monster who's stalking her.

Ex-cop Kasper "Gutter Mouth" Guttenmuth has always been a playboy. Love was a four-letter word. He learned that lesson as he watched his father run around on his mom before she died. Until he fell hard for the wrong woman-his best friend's baby sister. Krysta Sokolofski has been in love with the same man since she was a teenager. For a brief time, he held more than her heart in his hands. Until he pushed her away. A dirty secret he wanted distance from. It took her years to move on. They've hidden their brief affair from everyone for six years. Watching the woman he still loves disappear inside a white van, he knows he needs to come clean. Not only with her brother, but with himself as well. Kasper's ready to beg if he must. For forgiveness. For a second chance. He won't give up until he can make her his. First… he needs to find her.
