Detective Daniel Cardenas' protective detail becomes personal when he falls hard for the woman who's still grieving for the man she loved and who's afraid to love again. Don't read I'll Be Watching You* after dark.” –RT BookReviews


“I guess it was pretty good, although next time, could you consider bending the space-time continuum just a little? For me?” –Tracy’s sci-fi-loving husband José "I'd like you to come speak to my community group. But about your day job, not your books. Please ... don't talk about your books." —Ed R. “Could you stop blacking out certain scenes in your books before I can read them? This is getting old.” –Tracy’s little brother Troy “Is the guy on your cover wearing pants?” –Sharron McClellan, author of Athena Force: Breathless

April 2007 Finding His Child

He would do whatever it took to find his daughter.

It had been six long months since his beautiful daughter had disappeared. When another girl was kidnapped in the Washington State woods, Detective Aaron Donovan was convinced that the two crimes were related. After joining the search-and-rescue team, Aaron was forced to work with top-notch tracker Sabrina Adelante … and try to ignore the attraction they’d shared before his world was shattered. Offering up his military sniper skills, Aaron helped the group uncover some helpful clues. But then Sabrina nearly became a madman’s next victim, and Aaron wondered how he could possibly get close to another woman he cared about when he just might lose her.

Then again, how could he afford not to?

For Danny, being with Celia 24/7 was like a dream--and a nightmare.
