She was the reason for his newly discovered distraction. He couldn't hold it together in meetings or during the endless conference calls he found himself involved in lately. His thoughts always drifted, as did his gaze.

Sweet Surrender
Under Faith Malone's deceptively soft exterior lies a woman who knows exactly what she wants: a strong man who'll take without asking - because she's willing to give him everything...
Dallas cop Gray Montgomery is on a mission: find the guy who killed his partner and bring him to justice. So far, he's found a link between the killer and Faith - and if Gray has to get close to her to catch the killer, so be it.
Faith is sweet and feminine, everything Gray wants and desires in a woman, but he suspects she's playing games. No way would she allow a man to call the shots in their relationship. Or would she?
Faith sees in Gray the strong, dominant man she needs, but he seems determined to keep her at a distance. So she takes matters into her own hands to prove to him it's no game she's playing. She's willing to surrender to the right man. Gray would like to be that man. But catching his partner's killer has to be his first priority - until Faith is threatened and Gray realizes he will do anything to protect her...

Wow! Much better than the Fifty Shades series! Written before it & this Gray came first! Go figure!!
So Gray is trying to catch his partner's murderer. Faith's mother is living with the man Gray is after. He takes leave from th police department in Dallas & goes to work for Faith's adoptive father at his security firm under the pretense of getting close to Faith to catch the mother leading to her lover.
Faith as it turns out is an innocent victim of her mother & Gray decides he needs to protect her. She wants to be dominated. He wants to dominate... Sooo it happens!
I loved it! I was so embarrassed for her a few times, I felt her frustration & then it got HOT! All in all it was great!

"Oh for heaven's sake." She gestured impatiently. "You don't have to keep it up when we're alone." He raised an eyebrow and she flushed.
"I don't think that would be a problem." His bold gaze drifted down her body.

The Bridegroom Wore Plaid
In an effort to preserve the family estate, Ian MacGregor, the Earl of Balfour, must marry for money. When a promising match emerges in the form of Genie Daniels, a rich English heiress, Ian begins devising a strategy to woo her. When he meets Genie's poor cousin Augusta, he discovers a new avenue to Genie's heart. But after spending time with Augusta and falling for her charms, Ian begins to question whether or not he's willing to forfeit his heart to save the family name…
Review:
There are three other romances weaving through the main one involving Augusta and Ian's families. All short but very satisfying.
Both Ian and Augusta are likeable characters. Ian is extremely devoted to his family and Augusta once a wealthy woman now penniless, making the most of her situation. And of course love blooms!
Maybe a bit over the top having four MacGregors marrying four Danieles and the villain was super evil.
A recommendable read.
