This case may prove to be too hot to handle.

There’s silver out there: Sabrina Eckhart is sure of it. And when she finds the hidden mine on that big piece of West Texas desert, all of her financial problems are solved. That is, if she can find it. The man with the skills she needs is private investigator Alex Justice—a former navy fighter pilot and a current pain in the neck.

When mysterious “accidents” start to plague their search, it seems Rina’s multi-acre inheritance might be more a curse than a blessing. And yet, there’s still something sensual about the heat…his arrogance…her stubbornness…being thrust into each other’s arms by danger... But the vultures are circling, and if they don’t watch their backs, the relentless desert sun could be the last thing they ever see.

Praise for The Raines of Wind Canyon

Against the Wind

“This is definitely a page-turner full of compassion and love shared by two unlikely souls. This is a ‘don’t miss’ read… Kat Martin is a very gifted writer who takes you from the beginning to the end in total suspense.”

—Fresh Fiction

Against the Fire

“After reading the first book about the Raine brothers, I knew Kat Martin would have to do something pretty amazing to make her second book as much of a joy to read. As soon as I opened the book, I realized that she has succeeded.…”

“4 ½ quills! Ms. Martin has struck the motherlode… Against the Law is by far the most powerfully intense romantic suspense with its charismatic characters, [and] a story line that defies gravity.”

—Romantic Crush Junkies

Against the Storm

“I’ve never read a book by Kat Martin that wasn’t immediately headed for my keeper shelf. Historical or contemporary, she’s a must-read for me. With Against the Storm she proves once again why I keep coming back for more.”

—Joyfully Reviewed

“Fans of Martin’s Raines of Wind Canyon trilogy are going to love meeting more of this testosterone-and-honor-laden family…the romantic suspense is tautly compelling and the psychological terror ratchets up with each red herring. Readers aren’t going to be able to put the light out until the last page.”

—RT Book Reviews

Against the Night

“Kat Martin has done a fine job again…The characters are edgier in one sense, which gives them an air of unpredictability that adds to the suspense of the story…Very nicely done, Kat Martin!”

—The Best Reviews

“Against the Night is not like anything else I’ve read…I love a good suspense story and this one packs one heck of a wallop.”

—Long and Short Reviews

Against the Sun

“It doesn’t matter what Martin’s characters are up against—she dishes up romantic suspense, sizzling sex and international intrigue in healthy doses, and fans are going to be the winners. Readers better set aside a block of time to finish this unputdownable tale of adventure and romance.”

—RT Book Reviews Top Pick

“Tension sizzles in this contemporary story. As usual, Ms. Martin has come up with a plot that offers nonstop suspense mixed with the usual high-octane testosterone so prevalent in her books.”

To my great friends in Bakersfield, California, who know what that scorching desert heat can feel like. Miss you all.

“Mr. Justice! Mr. Justice, can you give us a moment of your time?”

Sabrina Eckhart stared at the news broadcast on KTRK-TV. She had watched the segment run on an earlier edition, but found herself watching it again.

The reporter, a small man with dark hair and a determined expression, hurried to keep up with Alex Justice’s long strides as he walked out of the downtown Houston Police Department building. “Mr. Justice!” At the sight of several TV cameras, Alex’s steps reluctantly slowed.

“Everyone in the city is grateful for what you did,” the reporter said. “People are calling you a hero. What do you think about that?” The man thrust a microphone into Alex’s handsome face. Six two, dark blond hair and blue eyes, always dressed as if he’d just stepped out of a GQ magazine, Alex Justice was an amazing-looking man.
