The protectors. They’ll risk their lives to protect a woman in danger. But will they risk their hearts?
Book One:
When his stepbrother disappears and his niece and nephew are in danger, wealthy security expert Brett Jarvis doesn’t hesitate. His responsibility is keep the twins safe. Even when they come as a package deal with their pretty, faith-filled nanny. Being forced to spend more time with her convinces him he’s not the man for her. She’s a forever kind of girl, and as he can’t offer her that.
Ashley Lamott won’t leave the children she cares for when their lives are threatened. But that means going on the run with their uncle. Surely she can deal with her attraction to the man she’s spent the past year avoiding. In her experience, men don’t stay around, especially men like Brett. The last thing she wants is to fall for him.
But as the danger escalates, she sees beyond Brett’s bad-boy reputation to the man he really is. And more, the man he could become, if he’ll surrender his painful past to God. Can they not only keep the children and Brett’s brother safe, but let faith and love heal their wounded hearts?
Book Two:
When the ex-wife scientist Colt Jarvis assumed left him for another man returns, his attraction to her flares. But he can’t trust her. During their brief marriage, she kept way too many secrets. She still does. For the past year, they’ve only seen each other during her visits to their children.
Fiercely independent security expert Mirabella Jarvis didn’t choose to leave her husband and children. An accident followed by years of amnesia weren’t part of her plan. Slowly, she’s picking up the pieces of her old life, including rebuilding the trust of her twins again. Her husband’s trust is far tougher to gain, especially as he never trusted her in the first place.
When the serial killer who almost murdered her once before threatens her life, Colt will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Even if it means falling in love with her all over again.
Book Three:
A cowboy, a celebrity TV journalist, and a baby in danger…
After losing his leg and the love of his life in an explosion, David King dedicates himself to the charity he founded in her memory, and to the Texas ranches he inherited. But when he finds an abandoned baby, he needs to keep the baby safe and uncover why someone is ready to kill to get the child. Unexpected help comes from the celebrity investigative reporter who crashes into his vehicle. But can he trust the famed serial dater who just wants to rehab a ruined reputation?
Aster Andrade has made many mistakes in her life. Like a teenage pregnancy, staying in an abusive marriage far too long, and failing as a mom. Now it seems she’s lost the career she gave up so much for, too. Helping the innocent baby is not a mistake. The reclusive cowboy intrigues her. But she’s not about to fall for the wrong man again.
As the danger surrounding them escalates, can David and Aster keep the baby safe – along with their hearts?
Good morning Paula, ladies!
I love to read a book where, male/female, are in danger or accused falsely of something and they have to depend on one or the other to help with the situation, even when they don’t want to. Even if they are old or new flame and romance and love develops from it.
The suspense is always the key to the story. This is one of my favorite genres.
Thanks for the chance!

I like how the suspense/mystery/danger aspect is used to draw the couple together. Situations like that really create a bond.
Susan, I love how suspense aspect draws the couple together, too! Thank you for commenting!
That is all true, Susan…good insight!
I love clean suspense books. Just purchased and wish I could stay home and read, but alas, I must work 🙁
Gloria, awww, thank you very much for purchasing the set!
Lol, yes, Gloria…would be lovely if we could make reading books we love our job too, lol!!
Mystery/suspense is my first love but I do enjoy it when a couple find a common bond through solving a crime or a mystery. I also enjoy seeing their faith develop/grow in their efforts.
Thanks for the giveaway. I am ordering this great collection!
Happy New Year!

Hello Paula Marie,
I hope you had an amazing Christmas with family and friends.
I can’t wait to find time to read these books, I’ve had them for a bit but need to find time to read them as a series.
Thanks for the amazing chance to win the $5.00 gift card, it may not be a large amount to some but to me it means more books I can buy from my favourite authors.
Have an amazing week and remainder of 2019.
Thank you, Betty, we had a very quiet day! Hope you enjoyed it as well! I know what you mean…must find more time to read, lol!!
I hope you had an amazing Christmas, too! Best wishes in the giveaway!
My review is posted for this boxed set. I had already ready these individually but I so enjoyed them that I read them a second time.
Aww, Margie, that is so sweet! I love when I enjoy reading a story again!
Margie, you’re beyond kind! Loved your review! Thank you so much!
These are some of my favorite books!! I love the mystery and suspense element, and the romance just makes it better!! What I loved the most was I didn’t solve it before they did! I don’t like solving the mystery before hand, as it loses something for me then. These kept me wanting more, which is also a requirement for me!! I like the sense at the end of everything coming together, but I like to want more, too!!
Ah, I know exactly what you mean, Trudy! While a part of me thinks wow, I am so smart… another part wishes for the surprise ending!!
Trudy, you just made my day! I’m thrilled to be among your favorite authors! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
oh my – this looks amazing from 2 of my fav authors!!!
You will love the set, Bonny!!
Bonny, you just made my day! So grateful to be one of your favorite authors! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’m excited about the set.
And thank you wonderful readers for your comments. I’m so sorry I won’t be able to reply to you all (I have a book to finish writing and a tight deadline!), but your comments will be read and appreciated!
I have Brett and Colt, but, not David! Should I buy the 3 or just get David’s! How much is his story?
Well, David is $2.99 by itself, so you can have all three for just .99¢!
Linda, if you’d like to have all three stories together, the set is only $0.99. Thank you for buying Brett’s and Colt’s stories! Much appreciated!
I brought the set, but, I ‘m not a fan of suspense. I am a fan of romance, though!
Oh, there is a lot of romance in these stories as well, Linda!
I love the excitement and intrigue that suspense/mystery add to a romance story.
Me too, Lisa! Thanks for participating!
Great answer, Lisa! Thank you for commenting! 🙂
This is some really great authors to be boxed together! Sounds really good!
It really is a find, Christie!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Christie!
I love the suspense & back & forth of working out romance & mystery/danger at the same time.
Yes, Carol..always fun to be in the journey!
Carol, thank you! It is a lot of fun indeed. 🙂
I love suspense that is woven into the romance of the story. It keeps me on the edge until the end of the book!
I love that part too, Edwina… fingernail biting, lol!!
Edwina, thank you very much! Love edge-of-the-seat suspense, too! 🙂
I love mysteries, suspense and thrillers or a combination of all three!
Me too, Mary! Thank you for sharing!
Mary, glad to hear it! Thank you for commenting!
Hi!
I like it when the author pays attention to detail…proper police procedures are followed, characters act realistically and yet Im kept guessing about how things are going to work out. Especially like it when all the clues were there but you are still surprised. 🙂
Yes, Joanna! I get frustrated if I see alarming mistakes. I love being shocked by the ending too🤣
Joanna, I so agree! I love when I don’t figure it out until the end, though clues are there!
It’s the unknown that keeps you on the edge of the seat…plus the dash of romance! Best combination ❤️
Blessings and Happy New Year!
Agreed, Natalya! Happy New Year to you as well! Thank you for participating!
Happy New Year, Natalya!
I want it to be suspenseful so that I can’t wait to read the next page and the next page!
Romance and humor helps to make for a successful story.
All great reaons Joye!!
Joyce, I couldn’t agree more. I think suspense, humor, and romance make a great combination!
I have already read all 3 and I enjoyed them all. Great books!
Happy New Year!
Kim in NC
Yay! So glad to hear that, Kim!
Kim, awww, thank you very much for buying them and for your kind words!
Suspense adds a sparkle to a romance situation. That doubles the interest.
Hi, Gladys! Thank you for sharing!
I agree, Gladys! Thank you for commenting!
I love romantic suspense. What could be better than wondering what is going to happen next while the characters try to deny or embrace their feelings for each other. That keeps me turning the pages.
Very good points, Lori!!
Lori, that’s so true! It help turning pages. Thank you for commenting!
I love a mystery, so when I want romance, romantic suspense covers both!
Yes, best of both worlds, Beverly!
Beverly, thank you! Like Paula said, best of both worlds!
I love that they are more thought provoking!
Right, Alison? Making our brains work to figure out the mystery!
Alison, they certainly are! Thank you for stopping by!
I love trying to figure out the answer to the mystery /suspense. A really good story keeps me guessing
I agree, Melinda, I like to be surprised too, lol!
Melinda, love when the story keeps me guessing, too! Thank you very much for sharing!
Love figuring out who did it in mysteries. I also like to see how the heroes and heroines handle the different situations
Melinda, yes, it’s great to see how they act in dangerous situations!
I enjoy a mystery mixed in with romance. I enjoy trying to figure out the mystery and still be able to see the attraction between the characters. It had to be hard to write a mystery romance to keep both plots working together.
You are right, Nancy, almost like writing two books at the same time!
Nancy, thank you very much! I find that it’s much more difficult to write romantic suspense than romance. Thank you for stopping by!
I vacillate between genres. Sometimes a straightforward romance is what I need. There are other times when I am feeling spicy and want that extra bit of edginess that suspense can bring.
When romance is included in the suspense? The best.of both worlds!
I know what you mean, Linda! I like to change it up too now and then!
Linda Christie, that’s a great idea to alternate between genres! That’s what I do sometimes. Thank you very much for stopping by!
Ths plot twists…adds another layer to tales.
Yes, Dawn, and sometimes more than one layer, lol!!
Dawn , that’s so true! And it makes it more interesting! Thank you for commenting!

Thank you for sharing, Freda!
Glad you like the set, Freda! Hope you’ll enjoy reading it! Thank you for commenting.
I loved this trilogy! I was just recently able to read it & was blown away!!!
I have always been a romance fan. One day I was directed (from Autumn) to one of Alexa’s books. I loved the extra depth that the suspense/mystery added to the story. It helped to engage my brain and added a new dimension to the stories.
I am so blessed to have found these authors as well, Erica! Totally agree with you on the suspense angle!
Erica, I loved this answer! And so glad Autumn introduced my books to you!
I Love a great mystery suspense book keeps you turning the page to find out what’s happening next putting these on my TBR pile Happy New Year Ladies!
Wonderful, Sarah, hope you enjoy and Happy New Year to you as well!
Great reason to love suspense! Happy New Year to you, too! Thank you for commenting, Sarah!
My favorite genre to read is romantic suspense. I like a little bit of both!
Glad to hear it’s your favorite genre! Thank you for commenting.
I love reading suspense and thriller books but adding a bit of romance is great. It brings me into another world.
That’s part of my enjoyment too, Victoria! Thank you for visiting with us today!
Victoria, that’s so true! Thank you for commenting!
I really enjoy books by Alex and Autumn.
Lol, Carisa, you can never go wrong with these two authors!
Carisa, awww, you made my day! Thank you so much!
I’m relatively new to the suspense and mystery genre, but I enjoy the ‘turn-the-page-urgency” that they give me. 😉
Makes for a nice added twist, right, Cheryl?
Cheryl, love books that make me turn pages, too. I hope you’ll enjoy suspense genre!
Sounds like my kind of book, all my favorite things all in one book so to speak. I like all of those things so it should be good reading. It is hard to find good interesting books that are clean reading because people are afraid that won’t sale if the write good clean books in this day & age so I am so glad when I meet authors that are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in.
You will love all the authors featured on this blog then, Mae!!
Mae Carr, thank you very much for your kind words!
This sounds like a book that I must read! Suspense with action and love thrown in for good measure will be a great read.
I am.sure you will enjoy this then, June!
Thank you so much, June!
Christian suspense and thriller books are among my favorites!
Me too, Martha!
Glad to hear that, Martha!
I love how the hero and heroine are often drawn together to work to solve the mystery and the added tension if they realize the parson they’re falling for might be in danger.
Right, Jessica? Nothing stirs our emotions up to the surface like a little danger! Thank you for sharing!
Jessica, yes! I love that, too!
