Mission
Statement - About the Collection: The
purpose of this short story collection is to educate individuals on
duties, positions, and/or areas within the Intelligence Community and to
promote goodwill; to support our IC Community and our Troops; to entertain
readers; and to promote the field of romance.
There are five stories within the Highland Press anthology
representing the FBI, DEA, I&A, NSA, and Treasury.
Each story explores the nature of a dedicated man or woman from the
intelligence field and a romantic liaison.
The rating of this collection is sweet, though there is quite a bit
of action and adventure as befits the topic, the branch, and/or
organization. Our gratitude to

Community, especially those who contributed interviews, materials, and
research; to our military - past, present, and future; and our dedicated
and outstanding fans.

only to delightedly discover that they had, in fact, found the love of
their lives. When she's not

time with Charles and their two cat masters, Tiger and Angel.

LOVE
ACTS - DEA
by Leslie Wainger
DEA agent Beth
Belfrey was all set to prove that you can
go home again, but instead of impressing Will Devlin - the best thing she
remembered from Nohoken, CT - with her success, she ended up sending him
to jail. Then he turned police informant and the two of them were
assigned to feign an undercover romance to bring a drug lord to justice.
Suddenly everything Beth thought she knew about love - and Will -
was turned completely upside down.
THE
FATED HEART - FBI
by Chryssa Carson
FBI
Agent John Scott worked hard to distance himself from the awkward teen
he’d once been. Now he’s
been assigned to protect corporate whistle-blower Gretchen Zimmerman from
the results of her own good deed. The
problem for John … they’ve been thrown together again.
Gretchen doesn’t recognize him, while he remembers her and his
own teenage crush.
