COLTON’S WILDERNESS RESCUE
by Kacy Cross

When a body is discovered by patrolling Forest Service officer Sabrina West, Noah Colton responds to her SOS.  Once the Search and Rescue specialist’s K-9 companion zeroes in, it’s clear the victim wasn’t just a lost hiker.  As a former journalist, Noah feels compelled to investigate the mystery… and fiercely independent Sabrina is determined to help. Though they feel a powerful attraction to one another, their strong personalities have them butting heads at every turn as they attempt to unravel the complicated crime. But as danger stalks their investigation, can their reliance on each other breach Sabrina’s defenses… and keep her alive?

SHADOWED PAST
by Tara Taylor Quinn

Over the course of a few disorienting hours, Kara Latimer’s life turns upside down. First, she learns that she’s pregnant, and that the mother she thought was dead is alive and in the witness protection program. Then, Kara is abducted. Her husband, an investigative lawyer, is certain that the attack on Kara is related to the case he’s working. Tension mounts between them in their already rocky relationship. But when the threats against Kara escalate, she agrees to go into hiding. Can they identify the assailant before he finds her, and ultimately make their way back to each other?

SACRED SECRETS
by Kimberly Van Meter

The discovery of human remains on the Blackfeet Reservation brings together forensic anthropologist Kira Redfeather and local lawman Declan Hawthorne. Though both seek justice for the dead, their personalities and professional methods clash. Both bear long buried emotional wounds that drive their deep distrust of each other. But as they strike an uneasy partnership, their pursuit of the truth is rocked by escalating threats and violence …and unexpected closeness. Are they solving one case…or is a young Indigenous girl’s death just a piece of a bigger, deadly puzzle?

WITNESS PROTECTOR
by Jude Bayton

Witness to a murder. No passport to go home. Mia Jones never expected to run into Jack Brannon in the middle of nowhere. Their affair years ago left her heartbroken but now Jack is her only hope. The Law Enforcement Park Ranger thinks his eyes are playing tricks on him when he spots Mia at a local diner. He’s even more surprised when he learns she’s in hiding—and why. Determined to keep her safe and bring a killer to justice, Jack takes the woman he never forgot on a road trip in search of answers…and the ultimate retribution.
