Millionaire's Last Stand There are plenty of people in Serenade with motive to murder Teresa Donovan. But no one doubts that her estranged husband, Cole, killed her -- no one except FBI profiler Jamie Crawford. Though their attraction threatens her objectivity, Jamie's instinct tells her Cole is innocent. Cole's disastrous marriage has shattered his trust. But in Jamie's alluring presence, his protective armour melts away. Now, as their mutual fascination ignites, a killer is targeting Jamie. And Cole will risk anything to protect the woman who's restored his shattered heart. The Heartbreak Sheriff Sarah Connelly can't believe the man she used to be in love with is throwing her in jail. Sheriff Patrick Finnegan keeps assuring Sarah he'll get her out of this mess, but her trust in him vanished long ago. Still, just being in his presence sets Sarah's pulse racing... Finn knows in his heart Sarah is innocent of murder. But he can't ignore the overwhelming evidence against her -- nor the desire he still feels... Her Private Avenger Journalist Morgan Kerr shouldn't be surprised that ex-fianc� Adam Quinn wants nothing to do with her. Two years ago, the rugged mercenary ran out on her, believing she'd betrayed him. But with her best friend murdered, she needs Adam's help and forgiveness. With old feelings reigniting, their investigation turns fiercely passionate. But when a killer takes Morgan hostage, Adam realises it is something more than just passion... a second chance.
