Overview

Jonah Blackhawk knew forbidden fruit when he tasted it, and Ally Fletcher definitely fell into that category. The lanky blonde wasn't just a cop, she was also the police commissioner's daughter. No matter how sharp or constant Blackhawk's hunger may be, Ally was off-limits. She needed to finish her case, get out of his club and out of his life, before the memory of their passionate embrace consumed him.

Overview

Jonah Blackhawk knew forbidden fruit when he tasted it, and Ally Fletcher definitely fell into that category. The lanky blonde wasn't just a cop, she was also the police commissioner's daughter. No matter how sharp or constant Blackhawk's hunger may be, Ally was off-limits. She needed to finish her case, get out of his club and out of his life, before the memory of their passionate embrace consumed him. Until then, he'd stay away from her and keep to his own world, protected by the cover of night, his Night Shield.

Maggie Fitzgerald had retreated from her fast-paced life, seeking solitude to heal her tattered heart. But if landscaper Cliff Delaney's rude manner and irresistible sexuality weren't disturbing enough, now an old murder shattered her peace entirely, imperiling her life and forcing her right into the protective arms of the most irritating man alive! Delaney's Night Moves were enough to make even the saddest woman smile…but were they also those of a killer?

Meet the Author

Nora Roberts
Nora Roberts
One of the most prolific and popular writers in the world, Nora Roberts (who also writes as her edgier alter-ego J. D. Robb) publishes multiple books a year. Not that it’s enough for her fans, who tear through her unconventional romances. With her trademark mix of fantasy, mystery, and romance, Roberts has created her own genre -- and romance fans are grateful for it!

Biography

Not only has Nora Roberts written more bestsellers than anyone else in the world (according to Publishers Weekly), she’s also created a hybrid genre of her own: the futuristic detective romance. And that’s on top of mastering every subgenre in the romance pie: the family saga, the historical, the suspense novel. But this most prolific and versatile of authors might never have tapped into her native talent if it hadn't been for one fateful snowstorm.

As her fans well know, in 1979 a blizzard trapped Roberts at home for a week with two bored little kids and a dwindling supply of chocolate. To maintain her sanity, Roberts started scribbling a story -- a romance novel like the Harlequin paperbacks she'd recently begun reading. The resulting manuscript was rejected by Harlequin, but that didn't matter to Roberts. She was hooked on writing. Several rejected manuscripts later, her first book was accepted for publication by Silhouette.

For several years, Roberts wrote category romances for Silhouette -- short books written to the publisher's specifications for length, subject matter and style, and marketed as part of a series of similar books. Roberts has said she never found the form restrictive. "If you write in category, you write knowing there's a framework, there are reader expectations," she explained. "If this doesn't suit you, you shouldn't write it. I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure."

Roberts never violated the reader's expectations, but she did show a gift for bringing something fresh to the romance formula. Her first book, Irish Thoroughbred (1981), had as its heroine a strong-willed horse groom, in contrast to the fluttering young nurses and secretaries who populated most romances at the time. But Roberts's books didn't make significant waves until 1985, when she published Playing the Odds, which introduced the MacGregor clan. It was the first bestseller of many.

Roberts soon made a name for herself as a writer of spellbinding multigenerational sagas, creating families like the Scottish MacGregors, the Irish Donovans and the Ukrainian Stanislaskis. She also began working on romantic suspense novels, in which the love story unfolds beneath a looming threat of violence or disaster. She grew so prolific that she outstripped her publishers' ability to print and market Nora Roberts books, so she created an alter ego, J.D. Robb. Under the pseudonym, she began writing romantic detective novels set in the future. By then, millions of readers had discovered what Publishers Weekly called her "immeasurable diversity and talent."

Although the style and substance of her books has grown, Roberts remains loyal to the genre that launched her career. As she says, "The romance novel at its core celebrates that rush of emotions you have when you are falling in love, and it's a lovely thing to relive those feelings through a book."

Good To Know

Roberts still lives in the same Maryland house she occupied when she first started writing -- though her carpenter husband has built on some additions. She and her husband also own Turn the Page Bookstore Café in Boonsboro, Maryland. When Roberts isn't busy writing, she likes to drop by the store, which specializes in Civil War titles as well as autographed copies of her own books.

Roberts sued fellow writer Janet Dailey in 1997, accusing her of plagiarizing numerous passages of her work over a period of years. Dailey paid a settlement and publicly apologized, blaming stress and a psychological disorder for her misconduct.

Read an Excerpt

He didn't like cops.

His attitude had deep roots, and stemmed from spending his formative years dodging them, outrunning them—usually—or being hassled by them when his feet weren't fast enough.

He'd picked his share of pockets by the time he'd turned twelve and knew the best and most lucrative channels for turning a hot watch into cold cash.

He'd learned back then that knowing what time it was couldn't buy happiness, but the twenty bucks the watch brought in paid for a nice slice of the happiness pie. And twenty bucks cannily wagered swelled into sixty at three-to-one.

The same year he'd turned twelve, he'd invested his carefully hoarded takes and winnings in a small gambling enterprise that centered around point spreads and indulged his interest in sports.

He was a businessman at heart.

He hadn't run with gangs. First of all he'd never had the urge to join groups, and more importantly he didn't care for the pecking order such organizations required. Someone had to be in charge—and he preferred it to be himself.

Some people might say Jonah Blackhawk had a problem with authority.

They would be right.

He supposed the tide had turned right after he'd turned thirteen. His gambling interests had grown nicely—a little too nicely to suit certain more established syndicates.

He'd been warned off in the accepted way—he'd had the hell beat out of him. Jonah acknowledged the bruised kidneys, split lip and blackened eyes as a business risk. But before he could make his decision to move territories or dig in, he'd been busted. And busted solid.

Cops were a great deal more of an annoyance than business rivals.

But the cop who'd hauled his arrogant butt in had been different. Jonah had never pinned down what exactly separated this cop from the others in the line of shields and rule books. So, instead of being tossed into juvie—to which he was no stranger—he'd found himself yanked into programs, youth centers, counseling.

Oh, he'd squirmed and snapped in his own coldblooded way, but this cop had a grip like a bear trap and hadn't let go. The sheer tenacity had been a shock. No one had held on to him before. Jonah had found himself rehabilitated almost despite himself, at least enough to see there were certain advantages to, if not working in the system, at least working the system.

Now, at thirty, no one would call him a pillar of Denver's community, but he was a legitimate businessman whose enterprises turned a solid profit and allowed him a lifestyle the hustling street kid couldn't have dreamed of.

He owed the cop, and he always paid his debts.

Otherwise, he'd have chosen to be chained naked and honey-smeared to a hill of fire ants rather than sit tamely in the outer office of the commissioner of police of Denver.

Even if the commissioner was Boyd Fletcher.

Jonah didn't pace. Nervous motion was wasted motion and gave too much away. The woman manning the station outside the commissioner's double doors was young, attractive with a very interesting and wanton mass of curling red hair. But he didn't flirt. It wasn't the wedding ring on her finger that stopped him as much as her proximity to Boyd, and through him, the long blue line.

He sat, patient and still, in one of the hunter-green chairs in the waiting area, a tall man with a long-legged, tough build wearing a three thousand dollar jacket over a twenty-dollar T-shirt. His hair was raven-black, rain straight and thick. That and the pale gold of his skin, the whiplash of cheekbones were gifts from his great-grandfather, an Apache.

The cool, clear green eyes might have been a legacy from his Irish great-grandmother, who'd been stolen from her family by the Apache and had given the brave who'd claimed her three sons.

Jonah knew little of his family history. His own parents had been more interested in fighting with each other over the last beer in the six-pack than tucking their only son in with bedtime stories. Occasionally Jonah's father had boasted about his lineage, but Jonah had never been sure what was fact and what was convenient fiction.

And didn't really give a damn.

You were what you made yourself.

That was a lesson Boyd Fletcher had taught him. For that alone, Jonah would have walked on hot coals for him.

"Mr. Blackhawk? The commissioner will see you now."

    This is not a new release

    This is not a new release, but a re-release of an old title. Please be honest about that, Nora/Silhouette/Barnes & Noble. I read this series years ago.

    Nora Roberts has done it again!!!!!!!!!!

    Another good one from Ms. Nora Roberts! I was sad to see the series end because I love the characters so much. It's fun to eatch a couple get together and get married and have children and read about their children growing up and having their own story. It's like you lived their whole life in a few days. Which is what I did. I waited for all the books to come out and took a 3 day vacation and just sat and read all day and night. And since these books have actually 2 novels inside, I think I might have beat the record for most books read in a day ( not really but close enough). But it couldn't be helped. They were all so good, I couldn't put them down until I had finished them. i can't wait until her new one comes out June 29, Sweet Rains. I'll be the first in line!!!

    I love this book

    I really like the characters in the Night Tales series. In Night Shield, Jonah and Ally were good together and I liked the mystery of the story. I liked how Nora Roberts brought Ally's family in the story and the history of how Jonah fit in with her father. In Night Moves, Maggie and Cliff were good together and I liked figuring out the mystery of the house and what happened. I liked the small town atmosphere and how everybody knows everybody and what they do.

    LUV NORA ROBERTS

    LUV NORA ROBERTS. This is 1 of a set of 3 books, each with 2 stories.
    Should be read in order as the characters overlap in each of the books.
    However they could each be read on their own.

    Night Tales is a great continuation in the "Night" series. I really enjoyed how the characters spond from the family. Could not put it down until I was completely finished. Thanks Nora Roberts for writing such great books!

    A great conclusion to the trilogy. I'm sorry there are no more to look forward to.

    The book was up to Nora Robert's usual standards. I am never disappointed with her books, and look forward to her next publications.

    Nora Roberts Does It Again!

    Night Tales: Nightshade & Night Smoke is the second book in the Night Tales series. While I didn't realize until I got into it that this was the second book in the series, it was still an excellent read. Nora Roberts is terrific at spinning tales of love, suspense and danger, creating characters who aren't perfect but are human, making them easy to identify with. All of the characters are linked throughout the series, the stories are short, but still tell a good story. I found I couldn't put it down and stayed up half the night one night reading!! Plus several of the stories take place in Denver where I am, so that is always fun!

    I love Nora Roberts and will now have to go back and read the first and third books in the series. I am hooked! JA in Denver

    Nora Roberts keeps you entertained

    A typical Nora Roberts but like her other books, it is right on the money. If you like Nora Roberts, you'll love these stories. They make great weekend reads. She hooks you in on the first page and you can't stop until you get to the inevitable end.

    Even better than the first two in the series

    I enjoyed these two stories even more that the first book in the series, and cannot wait for the third to be published. Great characters that are related to the first two books and very different story lines.

    Another Great Nora Roberts Series

    This is another great series from Nora Roberts. I loved the characters in these two books and how they are all connected. The plot was a little different from the usual Nora romances, so it was a nice change. This is a definite page turner.

    Nora Roberts

    This is a reissue of an old book. I wish it would tell you that so that you don't have to start looking through reviews to see if it is one that you have already read. Also, if it is part of a series. it would be nice to know what the rest of the books in the series are, if we want to order those. I am a recent Nora Roberts fan, but I have read many of her old books. Let us know which are new and which are reissue.

    Eagerly awaiting the next volume in this series.....

    By now, you know that I'm a die-hard fan of Ms. Roberts, and it's hard to come up with new superlatives. I like volumes like this, where the characters are related and the story continues with the introduction of new characters. I hadn't read this before, and I'm looking forward to the next volume in the series. Good escapism, great writing--all the hallmarks I've come to expect from a NR offering. As addictive as chocolate, and every bit as yummy!
