Two undercover agents take the greatest risk of their careers—and lives—in these thrilling first two books in Loreth Anne White’s Bellona Channel series! MELTING THE ICE Hannah McGuire’s resort-town life had been quiet, happy and safe. Until her best friend was murdered and the investigation forced her into a partnership with Dr. Rex Logan—the man she’d loved, lost and been hiding from for six years. Rex had put Hannah’s life in danger once before. Now he had to face her again. And this time, to protect her, he was staying close—very close. Working to expose a terrorist who possessed a weapon that could threaten global security, Rex was defenseless in the face of the powerful passion that still simmered between them. But was passion enough? And when Hannah told Rex her own secret—that she’d borne him a son—would she put all their lives in grave danger? SAFE PASSAGE Wounded government agent Scott Armstrong hated his newest assignment—baby-sitting scientist Dr. Skye Van Rijn. He missed the excitement of working in the field, his only salvation from the tragedy that haunted his dreams. But the mission turned dangerous when he discovered an evil terrorist was also after the mysterious—and beautiful—doctor. Skye was a genius at developing biological antidotes to new diseases. Her tender touch and warm body soon began to heal Scott’s battered heart, but the deadly secrets she hid put both their lives at risk, sending them on the run, into the harsh wilderness. As their enemy closed in, Scott was forced to choose between his loyalties to his job—and his passion for the woman who might just be able to save his soul . . .

The dead woman, whose husband had disappeared years earlier, turns out to have had mysterious ties to Kesho, the African American bride-to-be.

Another murder gives Simona a much-needed clue, but her zeal for the truth puts Willy and her in danger. Thanks to Simona's gutsiness and Willy's fast thinking, the murderer gets his due, Kesho walks down the aisle and Greenhouse asks a question. A recipe for Comfort Pasta is included. "Simona exercises her adorable ways with a vengeance but it is her keen intelligence, not her bubbly personality, that wins." -Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review "Rich in atmosphere and buoyed by wry wit, Crespi's briskly paced narrative calls for an encore." -Publishers Weekly starred review "Crespi turns out a nicely complicated story that includes both unexpected twists and credible interpersonal tensions Simona's voice is personable. She deals deftly with racism and, more generally, with stereotyping, whether it is used to pigeonhole blacks, Italians, or New Yorkers." -Wilson Library Journal "The Trouble With Thin Ice is the best Simona Griffo yet, a fast-paced puzzle with the trademark recipe included." -M.E.
