Romance Series

Anna Mendes, a/k/a Anna Perez is undercover for the Sterling Security & Investigations posing as a nanny for 5 year old Spencer Keene. Carter Keene, a movie director and his actress wife Tawny have received threatening notes endangering Spencer.

Annie brings Spencer to join his parents who are filming a horror movie using Beau Soleil, a mansion owned by Picou Dufrene as the backdrop. There Annie immediately notices that one of Picou's sons, Nate, is a tall, long and sexy drink of water. Nate is also a police officer.

Nate and his family have suffered their own tragedy when 5 year old Della was kidnapped and murdered 20 years ago. Nate believes it was his fault and has carried the guilt ever since for his sister's death. Picou has never given up hope that Della is still alive.

When Spencer goes missing Nate is called in. Even though he is found in the home, this alerts everyone his life is still at risk. Other threatening notes are appearing at the mansion and every friend, co-worker and family member of the Keene's is suspect.

Annie and Nate desperately work to uncover the culprit. Delving into the possibility it's someone on the movie crew holding a vengeance against Carter or Tawny, they attend a party at a night club, hoping that someone will stand out among the crew. What Annie doesn't expect is she and Nate getting caught up in a passion that ends in hot frantic sex; minus a condom, under the outside tiki bar. Both are shocked they have allowed their horniness to override common sense; they are now in fear of a possible pregnancy.

The throes of passion between Annie and Nate are soon recognized for more than just physical attraction but neither believes it can become lasting.

WATERS RUN DEEP is full of suspense and mystery with hot searing sex thrown in. Spencer will steal your heart as the feisty but loveable little boy whose life is in danger. Be prepared to feel the deep sorrow and pain inflicted upon Nate and his family at the loss of a small child. Duty soon becomes real love for the child Annie is responsible for.

I cannot wait to read the next story of the Dufrene family and Beau Soleil! WATERS RUN DEEP is extremely well written and will grab your attention from the get go!

SUMMARY

This is starting over...not putting down roots Getting attached to someone nearly sidelined agent Annie Perez's career. So she's not about to make the same mistake twice. This latest undercover assignment in Louisiana- acting as nanny for a famous couple under threat-suits her perfectly. She can investigate quietly and under the radar. That is, provided she can stay clear of way-too-suspicious detective Nate Dufrene. Easier said than done when Nate seems to be around every corner. And with each encounter, Annie is tempted a little more by this son of Bayou Bridge. Yet regardless of their chemistry, they are worlds apart, and she's not willing to compromise for love again. But when she needs an ally, Nate has her back. And that could convince her to get very attached!
