The three-year-old girl sitting on the steps of Brown’s Club for Distinguished Gentlemen insists that one of its members is her papa. Aidan de Quincy feels obligated to help the wee thing, even though she certainly isn’t his—or is she? To find answers, Aidan must first track down the lovely widow he swore to forget when their passionate affair came to a painful end. It doesn’t help that Madeleine Chandler is as sensual and enticing as ever…
For three years, Madeleine had dreamed of seeing Aidan on her doorstep. The secret that once forced her to leave him now compels her to pretend that this sweet child is hers—a lie Aidan will surely never forgive. Yet the contented days and exquisite nights that follow are worth the heartbreak she knows must come. The truth will out—and when it does, there will be the devil to pay…

and I look forward to each publish date. The plots are good and show careful thought. Her writing style is so easy to read, and the stories always have plenty of what we read this genre for - let's be honest - escapism! Thanks, Celeste. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

For three years Adrian de Quincy has been holding on to his broken heart. He loved a woman, who apparently didn't love him. One evening while coming home to Browns Home for Distinguished Gentlemen, he finds a three year old little girl waiting on the steps. She says her daddy lives in the building, but she doesn't know who he is. His thoughts automatically go back three years and he becomes angry. How could Madeline not have told him he was a father? He and his friend Colin, hide Melody in his rooms and Adrian goes off to find Madeline Chandler. Madeline has a secret that she kept from Adrian, and when he finds her, Madeline automatically agrees that she is Melody's mother. Adrian kidnaps her and brings her to his rooms, where he's now hiding a woman and a child from the authorities of the building.
I loved how this book started. It was so unique you wouldn't believe it. I know I'm going to love the rest of the series. I know I won't get to know who Melody's father is until book three, but I'm having such a great time just reading it.
NSA's Recovery Enforcement Division operative Lexi Steele lusts after her partner Nick Donovan, but knows the mission comes before her raging libido. Someone is running an international traffic ring out of New York by enticing girls to come to the Big Apple as models only to sell them as sex slaves. Lexi goes undercover pretending to be a madam interested in buying merchandise.
Lexi also believes Nick is concealing something from her though they are lovers when not on a case. He also fears their relationship will end if she learns the truth about what he hides from her from his Special Forces day; but in a quandary because telling the truth will end their relationship even sooner. However, he agrees with her assessment first there is a notorious trafficker that needs to be stopped.
After they broke the rules of teaming with THE FIRST SIN, Lexi and Nick are back to break the rules again as operatives in RED's Human Trafficking and Sex Crimes Division. The case comes first though she has issues with her lover. Fans will enjoy their escapades as this time the Hudson is the focus of dirty water in Cheyenne McCray's gritty look at trafficking. IAW the author's afterward quoting the State Department: "up to two million people are trafficked worldwide every year, with an estimated 15000 to 18000 in the U.S."
