Book 2 in The Men of CLEU miniseries, part of the Moonshell Bay romance series! Only in his dreams … It’s tough on a girl when her big sister is a high-powered investigator with CLEU, Washington State’s Covert Law Enforcement Unit, but Tessa Nichols is doing her best to work through a master’s degree and handle life like an adult. Hardly anyone takes her seriously, anyway, which is frustrating when the visions she’s had all her life and the warnings of the Tarot get to be too much to take. But when she sees a young girl tied to a bed, there’s no way she can let that go, so she offers her abilities to the girl’s father—a computer exec with an estate in Moonshell Bay—in an attempt to help him find his missing child. Security expert Griffin Knox is about to wring his employer’s neck for bringing this laughing, bohemian female in on his case. He relies on facts, on order—and locating his boss’s daughter fast can only happen if he uses the skills he gained when he was a cop. Not Tarot cards, for Pete’s sake. But Tessa’s visions have an eerie habit of revealing more than just the truth … and when she starts showing up in his own dreams, what’s a cool-headed ex-cop to do? “Her hero and heroine shine … with a good paranormal theme, [Adina’s] read is compelling.” —RT Book Reviews Note to readers: This book contains sexual tension but no sex on the page.

Book 3 in The Men of CLEU miniseries, part of the Moonshell Bay romance series! Investigator Joanna MacPherson is trying to make her way in a man’s world, and if sometimes she goes a little overboard in bringing the bad guys to justice, well, at least she’s getting the job done. But now she’s been put on probation at Washington State’s Covert Law Enforcement Unit (CLEU) … and one more screw-up could mean dismissal and a short trip back down to patrol. So she’s willing to take on any case in order to prove herself—even the weirdest one she’s ever seen. Lead investigator Cooper Maxwell has been trying to track down an elusive group of people who use a strange form of physical and mental coercion to make their victims do the unthinkable. They seem to be hitting on women, so the logical candidate for the case is Investigator MacPherson. Why not use one slightly out-of-control loose cannon to catch another? Except that Joanna is way too smart, to say nothing of beautiful, for Cooper’s peace of mind … and suddenly the last thing he wants is to put her in harm’s way. Note to readers: This book contains sexual tension but no sex on the page. The bedroom door is firmly closed.
