Her Hot Pursuit (Entangled Flirts)

Book excerpt: Her Hot Pursuit by Lucianne Rivers Hold Me Still reeling from her mother's death, news anchor Jane Caldwell's life is upended further when she learns the father she lost twenty years ago is still alive. Her mother's will unleashes a manhunt--the Caldwell sisters must find their father, or their mother's estate will not be settled, and their questions about his disappearance will remain unanswered. Jane's search leads her to Guatemala to investigate a man who claims to be her father and heir to the family fortune. Needing a translator, she enlists enigmatic Harrison DeNeuve, a sexy expatriate with a penchant for wearing dark sunglasses in public. As Jane struggles to reunite with her would-be father, Harrison fights to suppress his desire for Jane. He has a secret--one he's sequestered himself in a third-world jungle hideaway to keep safe--and falling for Jane puts more than his heart at risk. Jane finds two men in Guatemala--a father and a lover--but can she trust either of them? Thrill Me Santa Fe Police Detective Margo Caldwell needs a vacation, but the wild goose chase her mother's death triggers isn't quite what she had in mind. Margo and her sisters must locate their father, or the Caldwell estate will remain unsettled--and they'll never know why their father didn't return from the Gulf War. ?Pursuing a lead, Margo heads to the Virgin Islands in search of Zach Caldwell. To navigate the waters of the Caribbean, she needs a boat and a captain. Too bad Captain Adrian Prince, with his mesmerizing muscles and wicked grin, may be a gunrunner. Adrian takes Margo on his delivery route to small islands near St. Thomas that hide more than wildlife, booze, and sexy boaters. On a remote, mangrove-ridden patch of sand, they find gun-toting Zach Caldwell. When their mission turns deadly, Margo must save Adrian's life--and her own--even if she loses her heart in the process. Entice Me Robert Rivera, private investigator and former Navy SEAL, alerts Allison to new intel identifying her father as a P.O.W. in Afghanistan. With her sisters out of the country pursuing leads, Allison insists on heading to the war-ravaged country to find him. Robert doesn't want his naïve client to take the risk. He knows what danger lies in that godforsaken land...he's lived through it. Barely. But Allison is determined to go, and Robert can't let her travel alone. Reluctantly appreciative, Allison quickly realizes how much she needs his guidance and protection, and how deeply she longs for his love. Robert struggles to understand her effect on his battle-weary heart. The path to Allison's father is blocked by terrorists, traps and treachery--all demons of Robert's past. Can he survive a second round with the enemy and keep Allison out of harm's way?
