The gods have been known, in times of great need, to summon a hero from another world — mighty warriors to fight as their champion and save the world from darkness. Unfortunately, the gods are not all-knowing, and they can make mistakes. Sometimes what they get is not quite what they were expecting.

Navy SEAL Zack Pritchard is home on leave determined to avoid his brother's girlfriend, Chloe La Ruse — the object of some pretty erotic fantasies. His brother Gordy, meanwhile, has dropped out of college, is broke and frustrated, and has picked up a gig that's only a little illegal. Chloe herself just wants to finish her thesis and escape a life defined by people who only ask her out because she teaches sex education. Many love triangles involving thwarted ambitions, fraternal competition, drugs, and racecars work out well. Unfortunately, this one has some problems.

What if everything you knew about your marriage and your husband was wrong — and that knowledge put your life in danger? By the time Abigail Brooks discovered her husband was an international assassin, she was already in trouble. Travis Stevens, a former SEAL turned security specialist, rides to the rescue expecting everyone to follow his lead. Abby sees him as just one more man she can't afford to trust. Forced to work as a dysfunctional team, they first have to figure out who is truly the villain — and which version of her husband is real.

Detective Grant Matthews is holding his life together with duct tape and chewing gum: his three-year-old daughter is fighting leukemia, and the burglary ring he's investigating has morphed into a possible homicide with a dirty cop involved. The lynchpin is Dori Connors, ex-wife to the suspected dirty cop and caterer to the thief. Grant wants to believe she's innocent, but her name keeps appearing at all the wrong moments. Dori just wants a Mexico vacation. Instead, her last catered party ends with flashing lights and an arrested host — and the police are eyeing her with suspicion.

Nicole Layton's plan to escape her abusive senator husband during their Mediterranean anniversary cruise goes wrong when the ship wrecks off the coast of Italy. She makes it to the Italian mainland with nothing — no ID, no way home, and a very determined enemy behind her. Austin Stevens, hired by the senator's insurance company to investigate suspected foul play, is racing to find the presumed-dead woman before her husband's private paramilitary contractors do.

Former Navy SEAL, security specialist, and decorated detective Sam Samson has been successful by everyone's standards but his own. Five years ago, everything fell apart in the tiny town of Crenshaw Valley, Missouri — and now he's back. Imogene "Cricket" Driscoll needs help. Someone is stalking her, her production facility is under waves of sabotage, and the local sheriff is useless. Most of the county works for her; if she goes under, so do their jobs. Sam appears to be the answer to her prayers — but his return could open an entirely new can of worms.
