He also works security for Lauren's father so he has never acted on the feelings that he has for Lauren.  That became even harder when Royce had a chance to meet and talk with Lauren and discover that she was much more than he thought.  Now the thought of being with Lauren is more than just a passing maybe and she is more than a person across the room.Royce has a very big secret that means acting on his feelings for Lauren would be a huge mistake right now, yet when passion comes calling Royce cannot resist either his feelings or Lauren.

Lauren finds her answers when she is suddenly faced with the danger that has been stalking her for weeks and needs to hold on until Royce can find her.Danger and politics twist together when Royce and Lauren finally answer the call of their hearts in Hot Secrets.  I knew that Royce was going to be in deep trouble when I found out about the job he had taken just when he started to get personal with Lauren.  Lauren was proud and backed her father's work but she had no wish to ever be involved in it.  She changed that a bit when Royce became more than the head of her father's security.  I loved how their feelings ramped up just as things began to get crazy and suddenly Royce and Lauren's future depended on them solving just who was out to harm Lauren.  I had figured out some of who was behind the attempts on Lauren but not the entire story until it was revealed.  I really love it when that happens.  Hot Secrets is very hot when Lauren and Royce come together with the perfect amount of suspense and humor to add in the mixture.DANGEROUS SECRETSLuke Walker is an ex-Navy Seal and now one of the three brothers who own and run Walker Security.  Being the middle brother, Luke is the peacemaker and the easiest going of his brothers.

Just before Luke left for his last SEAL mission, Luke met a woman that he hasn't been able to stop thinking about.  One that is the best friend to his new sister-in-law and one that Luke is determined to get back into his bed and his life again.Julie Harrison is a sexy divorce attorney, one whose clientele are among the rich and famous celebrities of the world.

When Julie learns that a client's spouse has turned up dead and starts feeling that someone is watching her, Luke is ready and willing to step in and find out what's going on.  As Luke and Julie uncover more answers, a dark secret of illegal transactions comes to light and threatens to end the budding passion that Luke and Julie have finally given into.  Those same threats might just end Luke and/or Julie if they can't find out who is the double agent in their mists.  When all heck breaks loose, will Julie and Luke see the morning together or will they just be two more notches on a turncoat's gun belt?A leave fling turns into a passionate future as two lovers race to find out what is behind the death of a judge's spouse in Dangerous Secrets.  Julie might have the looks and body of a Vegas dancer but she is one vivacious attorney who wins for her clients.  Luke had to leave the SEALs after an injury ended that career early, but that hasn't stopped how he acts when danger threatens those under his protection.  I loved watching as Julie and Luke circled each other trying to fight the attraction between them that was threatening to explode into erotic flames yet again.  I could tell that behind the tense situations was the fact that Julie was scared of being hurt.  I was hardly surprised when those flames burst into erotic encounters between Luke and Julie.  When both partners are determined to save and keep the other safe it leads to some interesting discussions and situations and that is exactly what Julie and Luke faced time and again.  I was surprised at what was behind the first murder that looked like a spousal conflict.  However, I was not surprised when Julie and Luke were able to come out on top when all was said and done.  Dangerous Secrets is very hot and spicy with the perfect touch of suspense to keep you guessing until the end.All three reviewed by Jo for Joyfully Reviewed
