Lethal Attraction ─ Against the Rules / Fatal Affair

Two worlds collide in these timeless stories of love and deception...

Against the Rules

by Linda Howard

At seventeen, Cathryn Ashe fought her attraction to Rule Jackson and lost. Humiliated, she fled to the anonymity of the city. Now she's back, independent and more sure of herself than ever-and ready to challenge him again.

But Rule is raising the stakes, and what Cat stands to lose is something she's known all along is his for the taking-her heart.

Fatal Affair

by Marie Force

Detective Sergeant Sam Holland needs a big win to salvage her career-and her confidence-after a disastrous case. The perfect opportunity arises when she's assigned to the investigation of a senator's murder. But she has to team up with Nick Cappuano, the senator's friend and chief of staff...and the man she had a memorable one-night stand with years earlier. Their sexual chemistry still sizzles, but sleeping with a material witness is a mistake Sam can't afford-especially when the bodies keep piling up.
