Midwife Susan Davidson‘s new life in Marietta, Montana will not only reunite her with her siblings, she’ll get to meet the guy she’s secretly been in touch with all year: Dr. Thomas Reynolds. Now, all she has to do is survive the robbery she just walked in on and deliver a baby. During a snowstorm.

Thomas Reynolds has almost given up on the idea of becoming an adoptive dad, because his single status always works against him. And then he foils a robbery, supports a young woman during childbirth and finally meets Susan–the woman of his dreams. There’s flirting, instant chemistry, plenty of push and the miracle of birth. And a young mother who always planned to give up her baby for adoption and thinks Susan and Reynolds will make the perfect parents!

Susan and Reynolds haven’t even been on a date yet, when they agree to a perfectly rational, logical, platonic co-parenting arrangement while adoption plans proceed. But can their instant connection, best intentions, and desire to give this baby girl their very best withstand the potential heartbreak of the adoption falling through?

I’ve always been a sucker for a guy with muscles and a handsome face. If that makes me sound shallow, maybe I am. I’ve never had a real relationship, unless you consider the guys in my Marine Corps Recon unit. I had a great relationship with those guys. Yeah, yeah, I know we’re splitting hairs. These days, long after my retirement from active duty, the only kind of relationships I really do now are with fictional characters.

I love to read, and lately, I’ve been frequenting the pages of my favorite blog, Bestreads, to escape my real-life job, one I’m not very well suited for. One reviewer on there—Nightcrawler—absolutely slays me. He always makes me laugh, steering me clear of some of the worst trash out there when I’m not trying to earn money as a bounty hunter. Maybe someday the right man will come along, and he won’t simply be a book boyfriend.

Someday.

Lately, I can’t get intrigued by any of the guys I’ve met in bars. Hookups are becoming less and less interesting for me. I’m a reader and of late, I’m also a half decent reviewer. I write exclusively for a blog called Bestreads, working under the name of Nightcrawler and I’m not ashamed to admit, I try to make them funny. In my line of work as a recovery agent for a big insurance company, I’m finding my off hours much more pleasurable.

I think about my next review and my next blog post all the time. Whenever I put up a funny two-star review, I dream of the guy who might be at home reading it, but pretty sure the kind of man who reads me, is probably living in his mother’s basement. Still, I’m a romantic at heart. Someday I might just run into him in one of my stories.

Someday.

Willow

In the past three weeks, I've gone from a boring adjunct college professor to seeing my own ghostly doppelg?nger around every corner.

I'm apparently a witch. Thanks, Universe. A little heads up would have been nice.

Now, a secret government organization is trying to force me to wield my power for their own dark desires.

Just as they're about to bring the pain, I'm saved by an honest-to-God—yes, that God—angel.

He smells nice. His voice is like spun gold. And when he holds me? I'm ashamed to admit…I swoon. But I can't trust anyone—not even a celestial.

I'm so screwed.

Because somewhere between running for my life and running from him, I've fallen in love with my angel protector—and soon, he'll have to go back home.

Gabriel

I am the Archangel Gabriel. Bringer of Justice, Revealer of Truth, and the Interpreter of the Almighty's plan.

I came to earth to help a demon, but the experience turned my celestial existence upside down.

As it turns out, this realm is not all sunshine and rainbows. More like a swirling vortex of chaos. I have not seen a single harp. Wings are actively frowned upon. As are robes, for that matter.

But humans—and their emotions—are fascinating. One human in particular. Willow Saunders. She's in trouble. I alone can protect her. And I will.

The murder scene is bizarre, with a crop circle of petals around the body, and Giordano's skin is strangely red. Scarpetta's niece Lucy believes he was dropped from an unidentified flying craft. Scarpetta knows an autopsy can reveal the dead's secrets, but she is shocked to find her friend seems to have deliberately left her a clue.

As the investigators are torn between suspicions of otherworldly forces, and of Giordano himself, Scarpetta detects an explanation closer to home that, in her mind, is far more evil . . .

“I despise the way I yearn for you…”

Even from himself.

Doc

I was Air Force Pararescue. Until a helo crash ended my career. I lost everything. Including myself.

Then a scarred, broken man offered me a job.

It's illegal, irresponsible, and dangerous.

The resort's caretaker has a story she doesn't want to share. Fine by me. Or…is it?

Doc almost dies saving me, and I lose a piece of my heart to him in the process.
