Standalone Romances

MS Heat

In the small town of Tatesville, Mississippi, teenage girls are vanishing without a trace. Girls like Lacey Fuller's best friends, Claire and Jo. But Lacey was the lucky one… she managed to escape when she was taken. Desperate to get away from the whispers and stares from people in town, Lacey left for college shortly after graduation and never looked back.

Now, ten years later, Lacey has returned home, hoping to put that dark time in her past behind her. When Jo's older brother, Brooks Harding, comes back into her life, Lacey finds herself unable to resist the feelings she once had for him. Lacey’s life is falling into place and she’s feeling a long-forgotten sense of peace… until the killer makes contact.

Fear blankets the town as girls once again start disappearing at a rapid rate. And with Lacey in the killer’s sights, she and Brooks know that until the person behind these abductions is caught, they have no chance at making a life together. But the truth they uncover is more than anyone ever expected.

Living with an alcoholic father during her teenage years, McKenna Parker grew up learning to fend for herself. The one constant in an otherwise chaotic life has been her high-school-sweetheart-turned-fiancé, Andrew Livingston. Before they could wed, however, her world is turned upside down when the Livingston family is implicated in the disappearance of a famous socialite. She can’t make herself believe any of them could be involved. Not even her future father-in-law, the prominent politician… even with his penchant for not-so-secretive affairs. Yet, when the accusations point even closer to home, she can’t escape the scrutiny. Or the death threat she receives: either leave now, or the man she loves will lose his life.

Making the only choice she can, McKenna flees. For three years she’s hidden from the public eye, before taking a job as the online media manger for a prominent horse farm. She’s kept to herself yet hasn’t been able to hide from the watchful eye of the farm manager, Jordan Anderson. It seems he’s determined to break through her protective walls. And with his undeniable charisma, not to mention his rugged good looks, McKenna might actually let him.

When Jordan discovers her secret – and a private investigator working for Andrew discovers her whereabouts – her life is again irrevocably altered. Torn between two men, McKenna isn’t sure where to turn. When lives are once again threatened, she’s not even sure she’s safe… anywhere. After all, where can someone turn when they don't know who to trust?
