"Cut & Run Series Book Four - Sequel to Fish & Chips" Baltimore, Maryland, is a city in alarming distress. Rising violence is fanning the flames of public outrage, and all law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, are catching blame. Thus the FBI's latest ideas to improve public relations: a municipal softball league and workshops for community leaders. But the new commitments just mean more time Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett have to spend apart when they're happily exploring how to be more than by-the-book partners. Then the latest spate of crime explodes in their faces-literally-throwing the city, the Bureau, and Ty and Zane's volatile partnership both in and out of the office into chaos. They're hip-deep in trouble, trying to track down bombers and bank robbers in the dark with very few clues, and the only way to reach the light at the end of the tunnel together requires Ty and Zane to close their eyes and trust each other to the fiery end.

Cut & Run Series Book Three: Sequel to Sticks & Stones Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett are back on the job, settled into a personal and professional relationship built on fierce protectiveness and blistering passion. Now they're assigned to impersonate two members of an international smuggling ring-an out-and-proud married couple-on a Christmas cruise in the Caribbean. As their boss says, surely they'd rather kiss each other than be shot at, and he has no idea how right he is. Portraying the wealthy criminals requires a particular change in attitude from Ty and Zane while dealing with the frustrating waiting game of their assignment. As it begins to affect how they treat each other in private, Ty and Zane realize there's more to being partners than watching each other's backs, and when the case takes an unexpected turn and threatens Ty's life, Ty and Zane will have to navigate seas of white lies and stormy secrets, including some of their own.

Six months after nearly losing their lives to a serial killer in New York City, FBI Special Agents Ty Grady and Zane Garrett are suffering through something almost as frightening: the monotony of desk duty. When they're ordered to take a vacation for the good of everyone's sanity, Ty bites the bullet and takes Zane home with him to West Virginia, hoping the peace and quiet of the mountains will give them the chance to explore the explosive attraction they've so far been unable to reconcile with their professional partnership. Ty and Zane, along with Ty's father and brother, head up into the Appalachian mountains for a nice, relaxing hike deep into the woods... where no one will hear them scream. They find themselves facing danger from all directions: unpredictable weather, the unrelenting mountains, wild animals, fellow hikers with nothing to lose, and the most terrifying challenge of all. Each other.

When by-the-book meets off-the-record, the story's just starting . . .Special Agent Ty Grady is pretty sure he's about to get fired. His last perp skipped town before he could make an arrest, leaving him with a lot of means and precious few ends. When he's called into the boss's office, he expects the worst. And he isn't exactly wrong.Chained to a desk in cybercrimes, Special Agent Zane Garrett dots his i's and crosses his t's. He doesn't have much of a choice in the matter-his record can't handle another black mark. When he learns he's getting reassigned, he doesn't miss the ironic pronunciation on "promotion." Wherever he's going, it's nowhere good. When they're partnered to solve a series of murders, their chances of success look low. They're fantastic agents, but the case seems more like a punishment than an assignment. They can't stop driving each other crazy. . . and not just in a bad way. This killer already took out the previous agents assigned to the case, and it's not long before he's on Ty and Zane's trail, as well. They'll have to set their frustrations aside, before it's too late.
