Looking for a quick buck to
help feed her addiction, Cressa “Goldie” Locke helps herself
to a nice looking house, hoping to score some jewelry to
pawn. She’s perfected the art of small-time crime to keep
from getting busted, but this time she may have gotten a
little more than she bargained for. She picked the wrong
house...or maybe it was just right.
When she wakes up in a
hospital bed, Cressa knows she’s been caught red-handed and
there’s no getting out of it, so she has no other choice
than to come clean. She wasn’t expecting the owner of the
house to also be a doctor, or for him to actually care for
her. Why would he, when no one else ever had?
Dr. Myles Ursa has a soft
spot for taking care of those in need. After all, he took an oath
when he became a physician. So when he realizes the thief he
found in his house is more than just a common criminal, but
someone needing help, instead of pressing
charges, he vows to save her, against Detective Horner’s advice.
But she could also be the golden opportunity the police need
to bust the drug dealers for good.
Unfortunately, word on the street is Cressa’s a
snitch, and she’s got some big baddies looking for her.
Enemies come in all forms, and Myles may have bitten off
more than he can chew. But he’s determined to help Cressa
turn her life around and clear her name, no matter how
dangerous things could get.
Warning! Contains fake costume jewelry, sesame, illegal
nudity, a flophouse, a cold breakfast, radios without mics,
subterfuge, a sigil of safety, and a misunderstanding that, when cleared,
enables a heart to accept the love of another.

Special Agent Rob Ariello has been assigned to go
undercover on a cruise to Ireland for a month to protect the
duke and duchess of Edelweiss. A thief has been targeting the
richest of the rich, and this couple could make them more than
wealthy. Rob's job is to make sure that doesn’t happen.
Naia Meer is a civilian tagged to help with the mission
because of her “special abilities”, but what are they? She’s
posing as Rob’s wife, but even he doesn’t know. All he knows is
she’s a static, and he finds himself being drawn to the
redheaded beauty as time passes. He knows he shouldn’t mix
business with pleasure, but he almost can’t help himself.
He soon learns that someone on the ship knows who they
both are, and they want them dead. Who can Rob and Naia trust?
The couple’s job is to stop the jewel thief, but can they
protect each other in the meantime? When the truth about their
real natures surface, can they look past their prejudices and
follow their hearts?
Warning! Contains secret missions; corned beef on rye
(with a big fat juicy pickle slice); damn mushrooms; sharks,
sharks, and more sharks; and two people thrown together who
discover they should be enemies, but can't deny the growing
attraction between them.
