Lone Star Standoff/Lethal Ransom by Laurie Alice Eakes

Lone Star Standoff - Maegaret Daley

A high-profile trial turns lethal...

Presiding over the trial of a powerful drug cartel member, Judge Aubrey Madison finds her life threatened, and Texas Ranger Sean McNair isn’t taking any chances. Protecting the widow and her twins comes naturally to Sean — maybe too naturally for a guy who’s convinced he shouldn’t have a family. But he can’t help wishing for a future with Aubrey...if he can keep her alive.

Lethal Ransom - Laurie Alice Eakes

A kidnapper with deadly intentions...and a U.S. Marshal who must save her.

The carjacking that ended with Kristen Lang running for her life — and her federal judge mother kidnapped — was a nightmare. The ransom, however, is worse: Kristen in exchange for her mother. Deputy US Marshal Nick Sandoval will do almost anything to safely recover the judge — except trade Kristen. But can he shield the woman he’s falling for and bring her mother home?
