Title: Under The Tycoon's Protection
Description: Under the Tycoon's Protection by Anna DePalo

"Hello, princess."

She was a grown woman and a successful prosecutor, yet Connor Rafferty's raffish greeting made Allison Whittaker feel like that privileged teen he'd hauled from a blue-collar bar years before. It seemed that her family had employed the security tycoon's services to safeguard her from recent death threats. Well, she could take care of herself.

It was his kiss she could hardly handle.

His barely restrained ardor should have been her warning never to let him move into her home, mere footsteps from her bedroom. After all, he'd featured prominently in her fantasies, even though he'd resisted being anything other than brotherly toward her. Until now. When neither of them could afford to be distracted . . . .

Between Strangers
Rescuing a stranded mother and baby from a raging blizzard hadn't been a part of Lance White Eagle Steele's plans. He'd wanted to be home in Montana for Christmas Eve, but he couldn't abandon Marcy Griffin. His plans hadn't included getting snowed in with her, either...or tasting those fiery kisses. She was all wrong for him, so why did she feel so right in his arms?

Marcy wasn't sure what to think of Lance, except that he was generous, charming and absolutely mouthwateringly sexy. And entirely off-limits - she didn't need another man controlling her life. Her heart and body had other ideas, however. Could this spark of passion between strangers ignite into something much more?
