In COLD DECEIT, forensic anthropologist Zoe Miller stumbles upon a corpse in the scorching Sonoran Desert—unwittingly triggering a deadly chain of events. When she becomes the target of a ruthless killer, FBI Hostage Rescue Team operator Seth Hopper is assigned to protect her. Their cross-country journey to uncover the truth ignites a slow-burn attraction neither can ignore. But danger is closing in, and as buried secrets rise to the surface, Seth and Zoe must face the past—and their hearts—before a relentless killer silences them both.

In COLD SNAP, FBI Hostage Rescue Team operator Grady Steel returns to his coastal Maine hometown on a covert mission to hunt one of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives.
