Sanctuary

Some secrets are worth dying for. Others are worth killing for. Morgan Drake never thought his life would be reduced to shadows and whispers. After witnessing the cold-blooded murder of a whistleblower at the hands of a corrupt cop, he becomes the only person who can testify—and the next target. When the FBI safe house is compromised and his handler goes dark, Morgan is forced to flee. He has nowhere left to turn… except Sanctuary. Nik Valentinov is used to high-risk protection—calm under fire, emotionally detached, and always prepared. But his latest assignment is anything but routine. Hiding out in a remote cabin with a terrified witness wasn’t part of the plan, and neither was falling for the man he's sworn to protect. As relentless enemies close in, Morgan and Nik must survive ambushes, deadly terrain, and their growing attraction. But in a world where every step could be their last, will love be their salvation—or their undoing?

Joseph Kinnon, active-duty SEAL, is reeling after the murder of his stepsister—an innocent woman caught in a web of crime. He returns home to hunt down her killer and serve justice his way, only to find Dale standing in his path. Forced to work together, their rivalry quickly ignites into something far more volatile. As bullets fly and bodies fall, trust is fragile, and emotions run deep. But when vengeance and love collide, will either make it out alive?

Sean is being hunted and the only place he can run to is somewhere mentioned in an old journal - the original Sanctuary Cabin. The cabin is no longer in official use but it would be a good place to heal and take stock of just what is going on with his life. Neither man is prepared for being stuck together for an entire week, nor for the secrets that threaten to get them both killed.

"The New York Times bestselling author of The Best of Enemies serves up a hilarious new novel of the "sandwich generation." Actuary Penny Sinclair has a head for business, and she always makes rational decisions. Knowing that 60% of spouses cheat and 50% of marriages end in divorce, she wasn't too surprised when her husband had an affair. (That he did so with a woman their daughter's age? Well, that part did sting a bit.) She just made sure she got everything in the divorce, including their lovely old Victorian house. And as soon as her middle daughter has her hipster-fabulous wedding in the backyard, she's trading it in for a condo in downtown Chicago... Well within the average market time in her area, Penny gets an offer on the house. But then life happens. Her children, her parents and her ex come flying back to the nest, all in need of Penny's emotional--and financial--support. Spread thin, Penny becomes the poster child for the "sandwich generation," when all she really wanted to do was make managing director, buy a white couch, and maybe go on a Match.com date.."--
