About this book

My name is Merri Walters. I'm twenty-seven years old. Two years ago, I suddenly went deaf....My teaching career ended and my fiance walked out. I survived—and learned to lip-read. I grew very good at it. Maybe too good. So here I am, two years later, starting my new life as a cold-case file clerk turned undercover agent for the police.My task: Infiltrate the mansion of a ruthless crime boss and read his deadly plans off his lips. My contact to the outside world: Detective Steven Barlow, a tough cop who's convinced I'm on a suicide mission. And in a way, he's right—because if I'm caught, I'll be dead without ever hearing the bad guys coming....

Nowhere to hide

RaeAnne Thayne

As an on-the-run single mother out to protect her little girls, Lisa Connors needed two things: money, and to keep her identity secret. But it was just her luck that the possibility of the former would threaten the latter—for as the caretaker of the hunk-next-door with two broken legs, her ability to keep her distance was already shaky. When she found out said hunk's profession—FBI agent—it was downright demolished....Gage McKinnon had spent most of his life trying to keep away from all things familial, so the last thing he needed was to have two adorable little girls take root next door. But it was their mother who posed his greatest threat. For in Lisa he felt that door in his heart—the one that had been slammed shut twenty-five years ago—start to open, just a crack.

"For Mattie Keith it's the best and the worst of times. She should be reveling in the joy that one of her closest friends is getting married. Instead, she's being sued. All because of the three kids she recently inherited. She's trying to do what's best for them ... even if it means fighting in court with the children's uncle, Dr. Finn Wallace. None other than Mattie's first and last crush."--Page 4 of cover.
