Ben Sheridan sends ex-detective Will Tiernay to Boston to investigate the forgery and impending theft of the priceless Eudoxia Reliquary. Will is a smooth charmer with a penchant for expensive suits; a wolf in sheep's clothing, some might even say. Will is expecting the assignment to be an easy one — until he runs into Mia Dolan, the girl who broke his heart twelve years ago. The attraction between them is as strong as ever, and even though she's a prime suspect, Will can't help falling for Mia all over again. For Mia, Will has always been "the one that got away" — and the one she deeply wronged long ago. With his unexpected reappearance in her life, she finally has a chance to right past wrongs, and dares to hope they'll have a second chance at love. But Mia's hopes fade as she realizes there's something darker hidden behind Will's genial façade — and that "something" threatens not only their fragile, new-found trust in each other, but her very life.

"She's hit her stride in a big way; this series is a surefire winner!"

Fiona Kennedy can tell a forgery from the genuine article in a snap. Drop-dead-sexy Griffith Laughton, however, is not so easy to read. He's clearly a masterpiece of the male variety — and the attraction he sparks is definitely the real thing. But Grif is a man of secrets, and the potentially priceless manuscript he's asked her to appraise is just one of them. When it becomes clear someone is willing to kill for the manuscript, Grif reveals that he's a mercenary, hired to protect Fiona. Is he really who he seems, or is he just using her as bait? On the run from an unknown enemy, Fiona gives in to her all-consuming need for the man who may be her one chance for survival — or her final chapter.

"A dangerous man, a clever woman, and a twisty, high-risk chase
that kept me up half the night...hot, hot, hot!" — Julia Spencer-Fleming

Sexy fossil hunter Cassie Ashton and hunky by-the-book paleontologist Alex Martinelli are sworn enemies. She thinks he's a snooty Ph.D. with a womanizing streak (and denies his dangerously rugged appeal). He thinks she's just in it for the money (and pretends he doesn't notice those legs). Their legendary sparring is the source of much gossip across the rocky canyons of Wyoming, where they compete for discoveries. Yet the chemistry between them is blistering. To their dismay, Cassie and Alex are forced to team up to protect Cassie's latest discovery — a priceless prehistoric skeleton. For it quickly becomes clear that someone will stop at nothing to steal it. Thrown together in the face of danger, the two rivals try to fight their passionate, long-suppressed attraction. But sometimes, when you're on the run and falling in love, there's only one way out.

Connected Books Info...

There are recurring characters in a loosely-connected series for the following books: Getting Her Man (2002), Off Limits (2003), One Way Out (2005), and Hide in Plain Sight (2006). Additionally, Bobby Halloran from Off Limits was introduced in my first book, Absolute Trouble.

Although Tough Enough is technically the first book of the Avalon Series, Ben Sheridan and Rainert von Lahr are first mentioned in One Way Out. Avalon, Sheridan, and von Lahr all play an important part in Hide in Plain Sight. The hero of that book, Griffith Laughton, is an Avalon operative who has tangled with von Lahr in the past.

These books are still available through various used book stores, and here are the original Avon covers:
