Edge of the Heat

What if your ex-husband was an abusive, dirty cop, and he was convinced he would get you back someday? What if he was willing to do anything to make that happen? Craig Masterson, the firefighter who saved Emma's life, finds himself falling for her. When he learns who her ex-husband is, he realizes that this is a battle he may not win. Choosing to love her is a deadly game. If he can stay alive, their love may flourish, but only if he can defeat her ex.

Following a near death experience, Emma Hill's world is turned upside down. Haunted by a vision of the man who could very well be her soulmate, Emma is desperate to find that man, but fear stands in her way. Craig Masterson, the firefighter who saved Emma's life, finds himself falling for her. When he learns who her ex-husband is, he realizes that this is a battle he may not win. Choosing to love her is a deadly game. If he can stay alive, their love may flourish, but only if he can defeat her ex.

Emma can run, but she can't hide. Her home bugged. Her ex-husband taunting her and still reeling from a vile attack that only her megalomaniac husband could be behind, Emma discovers that the man she's grown to love is missing. Finding him will require more courage than she believes she can muster, but cowering will guarantee that she will lose him forever.

Emma and Craig have secured their love and put Emma's evil ex-husband behind bars, but the biggest threat still looms. Now Hawk is forced on the run and only Vivian can save him. Vivian finds herself deeply desiring Hawk every time she sees him, but he still holds her at arm's length, and worse, he sometimes seems to push her away. She knows taking him to her family's cabin in the woods is a bad idea. A horrible idea. But she also knows she'll do anything to keep him safe.

Emma is marrying Craig, and Vivian is marrying Hawk. A dream come true for all of them. But their lives wouldn't be complete without a great surprise and a good shock. Too bad the night ends in devastation for someone.

Jerry Mansko, a fun-loving Paramedic/Firefighter is in physical therapy for a major injury to his leg. His therapist, Sara Acosta, fascinates him from the first time he sees her. But there's something unavailable and even a little dark about Sara. When she walks out on a date with him he checks her apartment to ensure she's OK. But Sara's not there...and the words written on the walls in blood indicate a mystery far beyond his abilities to solve. Can Jerry find Sara and convince her to let him in to her life?

Emma and Vivian finally find their brother, whom they were separated from at birth. But tragedy strikes the family once more as they discover he is a US Marine in the Middle East who has been taken hostage by terrorists. They beg Sara, a former killing machine for the secret DCIA, to help him and she agrees, but in the only way she knows how: she's going to do it all herself. But Sara's carefully laid plans are laid to waste as she finds it is impossible to carry out this mission by herself.

Vivian is pregnant and over-protective Hawk won't leave her side, so when it becomes clear that someone is trying to kill them, things heat up for the Heat gang, even as Emma wistfully watches her sister embark on the journey to motherhood. JT and Dani are visiting Westwood Harbor when all hell breaks loose for the triplets. They would turn to Sara for help, but she is battling her own private hell, leaving Craig and Hawk to fight for themselves and their family, with a little help from JT.

Emma finally has her big family, and she and Craig are dealing with the complexities of being new parents, while Hawk and Vivian have become parents of twins, again. When Hawk's personality suddenly changes, Vivian has a mystery to unravel that she will need everyone's help with, or risk losing her husband and the father of her children forever. Dani and JT, thrilled to be entering a new phase of their life, struggle with something nobody should have to deal with, but that veterans often do, leaving them unable to help Vivian.
