Bounty Hunter Naya Blade never thought she'd step foot in Surrender, Montana again. Especially since there was a warrant out for her arrest. But when her skip ends up in the normally peaceful town, she has no choice but to go after him to claim her reward. Even at the cost of running into the cop that makes her blood run hot and her sense of self-preservation run cold.
Deputy Lane Greyson wants to see Naya in handcuffs, but he'd much prefer them attached to his bed instead of in a cold jail cell. She drove him crazy once before and then drove right out of town, leaving havoc in her wake. He's determined to help her hunt down the bad guy so he can claim his own bounty—her.
* * * *
Lane knew the moment Naya had stepped back into his town. There was something about her that called to him, like she was a siren song and he couldn’t help but answer.
It had been just over a year since he’d seen her last. Since she’d ridden into town on that wicked bike looking for her brother. Colton Blade had been in the military with Cooper MacKenzie, and he’d always told his sister that if he ever got into trouble, then Cooper was who he’d go to for help.
But Colt turned out to be a bad seed—alcohol, drugs, assault charges, bar fights…and attempted murder. Colt Blade was more trouble than he was worth in Lane’s opinion—someone who’d been given too many second chances and pissed them all away. Naya knew it too. But she’d still come after him, hoping he’d listen to her when she asked him to go back and face trial.
Naya had found Cooper, hoping he’d seen or heard from her brother, but Cooper hadn’t been in touch with Colt for more than a decade. Lane had just come in from lunch to see her standing there in the office, and despite her brave front, he’d seen the despair etched on her face.
The sight of her had been like a punch to the solar plexus. Her face was a study. It shouldn’t have been beautiful—not if you looked at her features individually. Her face was angular and her cheekbones flat, attributing her Native American heritage. Her nose was long and straight and her chin slightly pointed. But her eyes were what made a man lose his mind—exotic in shape and the color of dark chocolate, fringed with full black lashes. Thick brows winged above them, giving her a perpetual look of challenge.
She was tall—close to six feet—and her jeans had hugged her curves in all the right places. The belly-baring top she’d worn had shown a pierced navel, and the muscles in her arms were sinewy and lean.
He’d been struck speechless at the sight of her, his cock going rock hard in an instant and the wild lust of need surging through his body like it never had before. He’d have done anything to keep her around longer, just to satisfy his curiosity and see if her lips were as soft as he imagined they were. To see if she felt the connection the same as he did. He’d seen the way her nipples had hardened when she turned her dark gaze on him.
It had been a no-brainer to volunteer to help her search for her brother. He’d done it as much for himself as for her.
He’d never believed in love at first sight, but the moment he’d met Naya, those beliefs had been reevaluated. Their chemistry had been palpable—a living, breathing thing. And the heat that sizzled between them was hot enough to singe anyone who got too close. He’d had no control over his body in that instant, and that’s something that had never happened to him before.
It looked like things hadn’t changed much. His dick was hard enough to hammer nails and the feel of her against him, the challenge in her eyes daring him to do something about it, made him want to bend her over the bike, strip off those skin-tight jeans, and slide right between the creamy folds of her pussy.
“You’re under arrest,” he said instead, taking a step back so she couldn’t feel his arousal. He didn’t recognize the sound of his voice, the low rasp of desire.
“Oh, come on now, Deputy.” Her lips quirked as if they were sharing a private joke. “That fight wasn’t my fault, and I am hardly to blame for all the damage that was done. If you remember, I believe I was otherwise—” she took a step closer to him so her breasts rubbed against his arm, and she whispered the words so he felt them blow across his lips, “—occupied when the fight started.”
She’d definitely been occupied. They’d been in one of the back rooms at Duffey’s Bar. They’d started out doing body shots of tequila, getting more daring with each one. A lick of salt across the top of her breast before the shot was thrown back, burning the whole way down. Another lick low on his belly, so her cheek pressed against his hardness as she swiped with her tongue.
It hadn’t taken long until she’d borrowed his handcuffs and latched him to the gold bar that rimmed the pool table. And then she’d knelt in front of him and taken every inch of his cock like it was her last meal.
He remembered the bite of her nails on his thighs and the way she stared up at him with those dark bedroom eyes—dreamed about it for the past year until his body was so hot and his cock so hard that he’d had no choice but to stroke himself to completion just so he could get some damn sleep.

It’s been twelve years since Liza Carmichael stepped foot in Surrender, but after her great aunt’s death she has no choice but to return and settle her estate. Which includes the corner bakery that’s been a staple in Surrender for more than fifty years.
After twenty-five years on the job, Lieutenant Grant Boone finds himself at loose ends now that he’s retired. He’s gotten a number of job offers—one from MacKenzie Security—but he's burned out and jaded, and the last thing he wants to do is carry the burden of another badge and weapon. He almost turns down the invitation from his good friend Cooper MacKenzie to stay as their guest for a few weeks while he’s deciding what to do with the rest of his life. But he packs his bag and heads to Surrender anyway.
The only thing Boone knows is that his future plans don’t include Liza Carmichael. She’s bossy, temperamental, and the confections she bakes are sweet enough to tempt a saint. Thank God he’s never pretended to be one. But after he gets one taste of Liza and things start heating up in the kitchen, he realizes how delicious new beginnings can be.
Dear Readers,
I’m thrilled to be able to introduce the MacKenzie Family World to you. I asked five of my favorite authors to create their own characters and put them into the world you all know and love. These amazing authors revisited Surrender, Montana, and through their imagination you’ll get to meet new characters, while reuniting with some of your favorites.
These stories are hot, hot, hot—exactly what you’d expect from a MacKenzie story—and it was pure pleasure for me to read each and every one of them and see my world through someone else’s eyes. They definitely did the series justice, and I hope you discover five new authors to put on your auto-buy list.
Make sure you check out
Troublemaker,
a brand new, full-length MacKenzie novel written by me.
And yes, you’ll get to see more glimpses of Shane before his book comes out next year.
So grab a glass of wine, pour a bubble bath, and prepare to Surrender.
Love Always,
Liliana Hart

Trouble Maker

Nestled among rolling hills and painted with vibrant wildflowers, the bucolic town of Storm, Texas, seems like nothing short of perfection.
But there are secrets beneath the facade. Dark secrets. Powerful secrets. The kind that can destroy lives and tear families apart. The kind that can cut through a town like a tempest, leaving jealousy and destruction in its wake, along with shattered hopes and broken dreams. All it takes is one little thing to shatter that polish.
Reading like an on-going drama in the tradition of classic day and night-time soap operas like Dallas, Dynasty, and All My Children,
Rising Storm
is full of scandal, deceit, romance, passion, and secrets.
With 1001 Dark Nights as the “producer,” Julie Kenner and Dee Davis use a television model with each week building on the last to create a storyline that fulfills the promise of a drama-filled soap opera. Joining Kenner and Davis in the “writer’s room” is an incredible group of
New York Times
bestselling authors such as Lexi Blake, Elisabeth Naughton, Jennifer Probst, Larissa Ione, Rebecca Zanetti and Lisa Mondello who have brought their vision of Storm to life.
A serial soap opera containing eight episodes in season one, the season premiere of
Rising Storm,
TEMPEST RISING, debuted September 24th with each subsequent episode released consecutively that fall.
So get ready. The storm is coming.
