"Murder comes to the White House ... The wife of the White House deputy chief of staff has been beaten to death, and their one-year-old daughter is missing. DC police lieutenant Sam Holland is in charge of the murder investigation, but she's forced to collaborate with Special Victims Unit detectives as well as thorn-in-her-side FBI special agent Avery Hill. Then, a cold case of her father's resurrects old hurts--a distraction Sam cannot afford. As Sam's investigation heats up, so does Nick's political career--and the heat carries over to their bedroom. Will Sam put the pieces together in time to catch a killer and find the baby, or will ambition, greed and lies prove fatal?"--

Fatal identity
Another Sam Holland case with a missing-child mystery and political pressure; the bedroom scenes are tamer and the couple is firmly established.
Fatal affair
Same detective and DC murder investigation, but this is the series opener where the romance starts as a forbidden rekindled fling rather than settled marriage.
Lethal attraction
Pairs the first Sam Holland murder case with a fiery boss-employee enemies story, so more heat and a full HEA alongside the police procedural.
Dangerous games
