bestselling author Marie Force, now in one box set.
Fatal Jeopardy (includes a bonus story!)
Washington, D.C., Police Lieutenant Sam Holland and her husband, U.S. Senator Nick Cappuano, have been looking forward to a quiet Thanksgiving with their son. But any thoughts of a restful holiday are dashed when Sam and Nick return home to a gruesome scene: Sam’s seventeen-year-old niece Brooke, barely conscious and covered in blood on their front stoop.
With lines between personal and professional blurring in this emotionally charged, deeply personal case, Sam will need to decide how far she’s willing to go to prove Brooke is a victim, not a murderer.
Fatal Scandal
As a new year dawns in the capital city, dual scandals rock the Metropolitan PD—and Lieutenant Sam Holland is right in the middle of them. Chief Farnsworth is catching heat for the way he handled a recent homicide investigation, and Detective Gonzales is accused of failing to disclose an earlier connection to the judge who decided his custody hearing.
When Gonzo’s fight for his child turns deadly and he has a shaky alibi, Sam must defend two of her closest colleagues. All while her husband, Vice President Nick Cappuano, settles into his new office at the White House. As the evidence against Gonzo piles up, Sam suspects someone is gunning for her—and her team.
Fatal Frenzy
Lieutenant Sam Holland is on leave, recovering from an attack that shook her to the core. With no case to distract her, she’s trying to stay busy—even voluntarily meeting with her new White House staff. But it’s not enough to keep the horrific memories at bay, and her family is worried…especially her husband, Vice President Nick Cappuano.
When two college girls go missing in the midst of inauguration madness, the chief of police needs the one cop he can count on to find them and save the Metro PD from disgrace. In a case full of ugly twists and turns, Sam will have to confront her past and find her strength again…before it’s too late.

Three books in one, difficult to put down.
Book 7: Fatal Jeopardy - Sam finds her niece Brooke wrapped in a sheet covered in blood dropped on her door step. This book covers a deadly high school party and how it got so out of hand. Teens are “indestructible “, Brooke will carry the scars of this night with her forever. Gonzo gets good news. A team member gets shot.
Book 8: Fatal Scandal - Sam’s team is having individual crisis. Gonzo, hailed as a hero is recovering from the gunshot wound in Book 7 is now being accused of murder. Elin gets beat up at her gym, Cruz is off with her. The threads from Book 7 seem to still exist. As Sam pulls them her nemesis has a plan none of us saw coming.
Nick starts work, what work?, at the White House.
Book 9: Fatal Frenzy - Sam is off kilter from the events ending in Book 8. She is actually questioning if she wants to return to police work. She is cleaning, cooking, and meeting with her staff at the White House. Even Scotty knows this isn’t the real Sam. While putting off the shrink at cop central Nick asks Harry to talk w Sam. Gonzo is in charge of a knife killer while Sam is off and soon Cruz is off too.
Sam speaks to Harry and begins to see the light at the end of the tunnel. While she has the nerve she goes to see the cop shrink who ends up giving Sam her “go back to work” papers - when she is ready.
Unfortunately it takes a member of their team to be fatally hit for Sam to come back to work. All just days before the inauguration. While hunting a killer and being fitted for a gown to wear to the inaugural balls the team continues to take hits. This inaugural parade is the likes of why we get lost in books. The very ending good news...Scotty is legally a Cappuano.
All three of these books tie together. What happens in Book 7 still has things reeling in Book 9. I admit I cried in Book 9. These characters are no questions - family.

R. I. P. DOUBLE LOUNGE CHAIR
I have heard through the grapevine that the double lounge change that this auth makes sure to mention in EVERY SINGLE BOOK since book 4 well...it has a run in with a rusted steak knife and is slashed to threads. There is pillow filler everywhere in the loft and now, unfortunately, the lost resemble less of Bora Bora and more of Gora Gora. Another rumor, oh please let this be true is that Detective Archeletta, who Sam has mentioned having a one night stand with in EVERY SINGLE BOOK since book is now so depressed that there won’t be a number two in his future. Despondent, while passing by a Spensers Gift at the Potomac Mall there’s a sale on Sam Holland/second lady inflatable dolls. Archie must own one. Paying cash ( no paper trail) he takes his new lady strapped in the passenger car supplied by MPD and is now eligible for the carpool lane. But at night, when the lights go down and they are all alone....oooo weeee. I have been on pins and needles since hearing that “the ramp” might be getting a spin off. We hear so much about how people just walk over the ramp leading to Nick and Sam’s home...there must be 100 stories that ramp can hear...after all HE’s BEEN IN ALMOST EVER BOOK..MUPTIPLE TIMES. Hopefully Dr. Harry and Alex Kavanaugh will soon find matches but in terms of outstanding characters the double lounger, the blow up Sam doll and most especially the ramp makes for much more interesting stories.

Love this series! When you read each one in this combined volume (as I did with volumes 1 and 2, and will with 4), it does tend to get a bit repetitive when the story line begins, since the author catches you up on some of the action from the previous story. That aside, the action in each of these stories flows well, and the characters are well developed and make you root for them, hoping they get past the trauma they have encountered or the difficulties they're dealing with. Fatal Frenzy and (spoiler alert) the death of Detective Arnold was well written, and I just loved the denouement - it's Sam at her best, Louboutin heels and all! Thanks for writing such an engaging series! Just one complaint - the last couple of paragraphs when Nick and Sam get home after the Inauguration events - I know they're in the loft ("Not sure I've got the loft in me tonight, babe" Sam says), but the description appears to come from their bedroom ("bedside" table, bringing the plate to the "bed") rather than the lounge chair up there.

100% Reading Enjoyment
These three books are fast paced romantic suspense fill with intriguing twists and turns as Sam and her team investigatd murders that hit close to home and cope with scandals that rock their entire department. Sam's life is put in jeopardy. Her teammate's each have crises of their own to deal with. At home, Nick and Sam adjust to a new way of life when Nick becomes vice president. Scotty's adoption comes closer to being a reality. Nick and Sam struggle with the right balance of their careers, home and family life.
Sam and Nick have become my favorite book couple. Their tender, loving, lusty relationship is the cornerstone of this series. They are so likeable as are all the characters in this series that you become invested in the lives. The fast paced storylines are dynamic and intense with the right mix of romance and suspense.

EXCELLENT!!!!!!
Loved all three of these stories! I lMarie Force is such a wonderful writer! This series is so good!!!! I love all the characters. I love the way she weaves in the personal stories of all the supporting characters as well as the main story of Nick, Sam and Scotty!!! It makes the books so richly textured and interesting! The suspense and action in these books is unpredictable and riveting. The books are sexy, sweet, funny, heartwarming, and filled with family, friends, and co-workers that we all would love to have! So far every book in this series has been excellent and I am thinking to myself that I have to read "slower" because I don't want to get to the last book 😁

Heartbreak
This volume had main characters getting wounded but the last book resulted in a member of the police force getting killed. This was shocking and sad to read.
