  Off the Clock
  When paramedic Gabe Brenner witnesses an accident and rushes in to help, he's surprised to find his best friend's sister is in the car. And she's pregnant.
  
  Carly's never been so glad to see a friendly face. But having just closed the book on a crumbling marriage, she's not too keen on opening herself up to hurt again. Not even for the one man who's always seemed to be there when she needed him most.
  
  Gabe knows he shouldn't be falling for Carly, but the chemistry still simmering between them after all these years is no accident. All he has to do is convince her she belongs in the space he's always held open for her.
  
  In the Line of Duty
  Ex-soldier Jake Symonds has been a thorn in Constable Kendra Givens's side since the night they first met, when she had to throw him in a cell. Two years later, she's called to a break-and-enter at his pub and is surprised by the now-competent businessman offering to cook her breakfast.
  
  Their emotional baggage might be stacked too high to risk anything deeper--but Kendra soon realizes the greatest danger Jake presents is to her heart.
