Eve lay with her head cradled on her arms. She heard the sound of the waves rolling  onto shore. She smelled the sea, the sand and the lotion. She felt the nubby texture of a towel under her and the soothing, knowing fingers smoothing lotion across her...

Tracks stared caught between horror and fascination as he watched the woman twitch where she fell. He didn’t doubt for a minute that the command he had sent at Messing’s order resulted in Dallas convulsing on the...

Tara watched Summerset lead Messing out of the room. She had been uncertain how the formal, older servant would fare, despite Roarke's reputation for success. Even when she saw him fully made up as Uncle Rex, it wasn't until they walked into the clinic that he slid into character like sliding into a well-worn glove.


Not that she hadn’t seen her own...

It had been a hostile takeover, Roarke decided. He’d succeeded in the past with these type of negotiations and failure this time, with so much at risk, was not on option.


Feeney, McNab, Peabody and Summerset took persuasion. Whitney and Tibble took arm twisting. The FBI took some “my way or the highway” hardball. They couldn’t stop...

Home had seldom looked so good to Messing. The visit from the government agents and the showdown he had lost left him shakey. Tracks had insisted the problem wasn’t his fault. Probably having two like symptoms in close proximity had alerted the Feds. The unfortunate fact was, Tracks was probably right. Messing himself had miscalculated.

Roarke sat in his home office and frowned at the report on Trueheart. He’d sent his top drug R&D woman to the hospital. She didn’t recognize the symptoms. She did predict that without intervention Trueheart would probably fall into a vegetative state.

Reluctantly, Roarke connected to a top secret number. The bland features of the man only...

Roarke leaned against the edge of his desk and looked at the faces in the room.

“Dr. Mira, Dr. Zea, in your opinion, what would the kidnapper’s response be if we went public?” Roarke asked.

“Roarke, this will be out before today’s end,” Mira said. “Too many people saw it happen.”

He nodded, “But we...

If she caught the little man using the nuclear jackhammer inside her head, Dallas would grind him to dust. She desperately hoped that Roarke was standing nearby to force a blocker on her. She’d give him a hard time, of course, but it would be for show.

She opened her eyes and nearly screamed with pain as the blinding bright light seared into her...

Rance Tennent leaned against the building, idly wondering how long Lt. Dallas was going to take in front of Tiffany’s. God knew she didn’t need to window shop like his wife did. Roarke could buy everything in the store without breaking a sweat.

The light changed but the red van at the corner did not move. Rance contacted his partner, Rachel...

Now that rescue was close, Carolyn couldn’t seem to stop crying. It wasn’t as if the crying helped the headache or the God-awful nausea. Now every muscle hurt, joints felt like bone grating on bone.

Phoebe studied the girl. She was afraid to offer a blocker. Since Roarke had mentioned drugs who knew what the interaction would be. Options were...
