I try to forget her.
It’s impossible.
Growing up together, Conor and I shared all our firsts.
First love, first kiss, first…
Not all our firsts.
We were sixteen the night she was violently assaulted while I helplessly watched.
I’ll never forget the sounds of her suffering.
Or my inconsolable agony when she left Oklahoma.
Years later, she returns to honor our teenage pact.
Except the boy she loved is gone, replaced by a ruthless cattle rancher knotted with secrets.
She doesn’t know my dark cravings or the trails of sin that lead to her.
I don’t deserve her, but one truth remains.
She’s mine.

She’ll do anything to escape her betrothed. Even if she has to plot her own kidnapping…
Grace Beaumont is desperate. Set to be forced into an arranged marriage to a depraved man, she’s out of options. Calling on The Kidnap Club—an elusive group of men who specialize in helping women escape difficult situations—is her last resort. She never thought she’d end up hopelessly attracted to the rake who kidnaps her. And yet…she is…
Lord Nash Fitzroy doesn’t get emotionally attached. To anyone. He especially doesn’t get attached to the women he rescues. He’s a protector, a defender, and an occasional shoulder to cry on. That’s all. But the longer he spends in the quick-witted Grace’s company, the more he finds himself struggling to maintain the professional distance he needs to do his job—and protect his heart…

During his first day at a new job, a veteran journalist is drawn into a strange closed society.
After years of churning out copy as a newspaper reporter, Dalton Walker still can’t resist a fire. When a circus tent goes up in smoke, seventeen are killed, and one body in particular draws his attention: a little girl, charred beyond recognition. The adult that brought her there must have survived, but no one comes forward to claim the body. Why? It is a strange case, and the more Walker digs, the stranger it becomes. At the same time, his new editor hands him a fluff piece—a profile of something New York City has never seen before: an Amish Rockette. As Walker investigates how a girl who was taught that dancing is a sin could have found her way to Radio City Music Hall, he begins to suspect that her apparent fear of reporters is more than just shyness. Danger surrounds the dancer, who is learning that life on the kickline can be just as perilous as a circus-tent fire.
