PROTECTIVE INSTINCTS

Harlequin Intrigue, ISBN#0-373-69337-5, June 2008

 
He Swore a Vow to Protect and Serve Both Mother and Child

Kansas City had no better guardian than Sawyer Kincaid. The decorated police officer had a family legacy to uphold and a reputation that none could rival. Until one distress call ignited the most personal case of his career.…

He’d saved Melissa Teague’s life once—long before she had a son. The boy would be safe with Sawyer, but she wasn’t so sure how she could bear his presence again, not when their feelings endangered them both. A man that powerful—however gentle—scared her, no matter how right Sawyer fit. But this time her protector would not walk away, not with his family’s lives on the line. This was his sworn duty.

She Was Just A Secretary…A Virgin No Less—And He Was All Male With Sex Appeal To Burn!

When did plain, mousy personal assistant Brooke Hansford sprout miles of long, smooth, creamy legs? And more important, why did Detective Atticus Kincaid suddenly notice? Their relationship had always been of the "good friend" variety. But now Brooke was in his thoughts and under his skin. The fact that she was receiving unwanted male attention in the form of some creep's anonymous psychological terror brought out all of Atticus's protective instincts.

Now Brooke found herself virtually surrounded by the badge and broad shoulders of Atticus. Her awkward affection for him erupted into a raw need that she'd never known. But would the fuel of newfound passion ignite a killer's revenge...?

UP AGAINST THE WALL  The Precinct: Vice Squad mini-series

Harlequin Intrigue, ISBN#0-373-69276-7, August 2007

Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place

He was built like a tank, and he was undercover in Kansas City’s seediest district. Waist-deep in the trouble that came along with the Vice Squad, Seth Cartwright had unwanted company.
After several years, investigative reporter Rebecca Page was finally getting her chance to uncover the truth behind her father’s death—if she could swing Seth to her side.


There was no debating that Seth ignited her temper, along with something else at her core. He said he was no longer a cop, though Rebecca suspected there was more to Seth than met the eye. And awaiting them was a deadly secret that KC’s most ruthless criminal minds would do anything to keep buried deep forever.

"Up Against the Wall (4.5 *) is one novel designed to keep you up reading past your bedtime." --Debby Guyette, Cataromance

A Cop's Crusade . . .

Detective T.

POLICE BUSINESS Book #2 in the Precinct

Harlequin Intrigue, April 2005

Cop in Shining Armor

While investigating a reported crime, Detective A.J. Rodriguez discovered there wasn't a trace of any murder having been committed!  But hearing-impaired heiress Claire Winthrop insisted she'd stumbled upon a slain employee in her father's high-rise building and claimed she could ID the hit man.  Although the lack of evidence pointed to an open-and-shut case of a pampered socialite clamoring for attention, A.J. sniffed a deadly cover-up.  Powerfully drawn together, the street-tough lawman soothed the shell-shocked princess with a tantalizing kiss that bewitched both their hearts.  However, when A.J. pulled Claire into his dark, dangerous world, he knew he'd better stick to police business---or the killer could permanently silence his beloved witness . . .

"A courageous heroine and a hot hero with more then just POLICE BUSINESS on his mind make Julie Miller's latest and irresistible read."---Romantic Times BOOKClub

BABY JANE DOE  Book #4 in the Precinct

Harlequin Intrigue,  ISBN# 0-373-22947-X, Oct. 2006

Who's the Boss?

Commissioner Shauna Cartwright knew she was stirring up a hornet's nest by reopening the Baby Jane Doe murder case. Now she faced the further wrath of KCPD by recruiting the much-maligned Eli Masterson to get the job done. After witnessing the handsome, hard-nosed detective in action during a botched bank robbery, she sensed he would face down her enemies. However, she was overpowered by her scandalous sexual attraction to the IA investigator who pushed the limits of her authority in his die-hard need to protect her from a sadistic killer. Surrendering to temptation broke every departmental rule imaginable... but as the case of Baby Jane Doe emerges from the shadows, would they risk their badges for love--and systematically stop a lethal traitor in his tracks?

"Julie Miller's Baby Jane Doe notches up the danger as it puts Eli and Shauna on a collision course with a killer and their own outrageous and forbidden attraction."---Romantic Times BOOKreviews

"Baby Jane Doe has it all, romance, intrigue and non-stop action. Together Shauna and Eli are a couple that quickly had me begging for them to say, “forget the rules” and admit their feelings for each other. Once they do, it’s worth every minute that I spent anxiously flipping pages. Julie Miller has written a book that epitomizes the words romantic suspense. Readers who enjoy romantic suspense won’t want to miss Baby Jane Doe!"---Melissa, Joyfully Reviewed.
