Summary

When Air Force cop Sarah Stevens is discharged for being overweight, she thinks her life is over. But after shedding 75 pounds at a mysterious desert camp, she's recruited into the CIA's elite Special Activities Division. Her first mission? Seduce Hassan al-Rashid, a devastatingly handsome Saudi terrorist financier, and infiltrate his deadly network.
 
Sarah must use her newfound beauty as a weapon, playing the role of socialite while gathering intelligence that could save thousands of lives. But as she navigates Hassan's world of luxury yachts and Libyan training camps, she battles her growing attraction to Vince Hennessee, her team leader whose dark eyes and protective nature threaten to compromise everything.
 
With terrorists planning attacks, pirates on the Mediterranean, and a web of international conspiracies, Sarah must decide how far she'll go for her country—and whether she can kill the man she's seducing before he discovers her true identity. In this high-stakes game where one wrong move means death, Sarah learns that the most dangerous weapon isn't a gun or a knife—it's a woman who's been underestimated.
 
A sizzling blend of military action and romance, "The Path to Freedom" delivers heart-pounding suspense, steamy encounters, and a heroine who proves that sometimes the best revenge is becoming exactly who you were meant to be.
 
Fans of Suzanne Brockman, Vince Flynn, and Brittney Sahin will love Task Force 125.

    🧺 Artisan basket weaver Willow Wicker is thrilled when her handmade creations are chosen for the prestigious Craft Fair Gala. But her excitement unravels when the event's snobbish organizer is found dead, crushed under a collapsing display of Willow's signature wicker baskets. The police call it a tragic accident, but Willow notices the basket bases were deliberately weakened and the victim's notes contain coded messages about craft community scandals. With her small business basket case, Willow must weave together an investigation with help from her elderly weaving mentor and the charming woodworker in the booth next door. From suspicious dye patterns that form a hidden map to unique weaving techniques that point to specific artisans, every strand tells a story. But when Willow discovers the victim was running a craft supply black market and blackmailing local artisans, she realizes the killer is someone she's shared coffee with at craft fairs for years. With the final gala event approaching, Willow must mend the broken pieces of this mystery before her own basket gets permanently retired.
