  Three thrilling, romantic adventures featuring bodyguard partners Aidan Greene and Liam McCullough—now in one gripping audiobook collection. 
  Olives for the Stranger 
   In the midst of Tunisia’s Jasmine Revolution, Aidan and Liam are hired to protect a young girl caught between political unrest and family prejudice. As protests erupt, the bodyguards are forced to separate—Aidan fleeing with their charge to France, Liam left behind in dangerous territory. With danger on all sides and their bond tested by distance, they must rely on trust, training, and love to reunite and survive. 
  Under the Waterfall 
   Assigned to a wealthy family on Corsica, Aidan and Liam find themselves entangled in a Romeo-and-Julio romance between two college-aged sons—one the heir to a mining empire, the other the child of an impassioned eco-activist. As threats escalate and loyalties are tested, the bodyguards must navigate a volatile feud to protect the boys’ love—and their own. 
  The Noblest Vengeance 
   When Aidan’s Jewish cousin begs for help evacuating her endangered family from Istanbul, the duo steps into a web of political threats and ancestral secrets. As bullets fly and family tensions rise, Liam and Aidan must confront not only assassins but their own opposing views on family, faith, and responsibility. 
  Suspense, sizzling romance, and international intrigue await in this trio of emotionally rich adventures that push Aidan and Liam’s partnership—and their love—to the limit.

  Growing up on Rendol 4, Aiden Hill only ever wanted to help better his planet. Now a lieutenant in the Alliance Military, he is doing just that, defending the population from space pirates, slave traders and a rogue species fighting them for colonisation rights of the planet. 
   
  But during a mission gone awry, Aiden stumbles upon Kade, a brainwashed slave who immediately imprints on him and declares Aiden to be his master. But slavery in the Alliance is strictly forbidden, leaving Aiden attempting to rehabilitate his unexpected charge, despite Kade’s obvious reluctance to cooperate. 
   
  Kade has waited for years to meet his master, the man he can devote himself to for the rest of his life. But when they finally meet, his master seems oddly reluctant to make use of Kade’s many skills – including his skills in the bedroom! Instead of giving him orders, his master insists that Kade should make his own decisions and express opinions that conflict with his master’s desires. 
   
  A slave without a master is like a boat without a sail; directionless and destined to be swept up by the storms of life. But for Aiden to treat Kade as the slave he insists he is would be a moral travesty, defying both Alliance law and his own conscience. So how can the two of them ever find a middle ground, when the life Kade so ardently wants is one that Aiden finds so abhorrent? 
   
  Warning: Contains frequent military-style violence.

  Music pours out of Erika Alvarez through her voice and her fingertips. She's awed that the reclusive Dess Hampton wants to hear her sing, and then blown away when Dess agrees to sit in for a few gigs. 
   
   
   
  Dess can tell that Erika is destined for the life that she once had and wants no part of, ever again.
