Stories by Roxanne
Ambition
No
one has ever challenged Parker's position inside the Centre, but
when Broots suddenly disappears from the Centre records, Parker
realizes someone is mounting a serious offensive against
her. By the time she discovers the enemy, she's already in
the hands of the Committee, and Jarod, expecting Parker, may be
unable to outwit this new, more ruthless opponent.
In Dreams
Faced with personal consequences for her failure
to bring in Jarod, Miss Parker redoubles the efforts of her team to locate him.
While they race to catch him, one of Jarod's elegantly planned revenge scenarios
goes critically wrong, robbing him of the will to make his escape. But now
that she has Jarod firmly in her grasp, doubts begin to creep into Parker's mind
-- about her father, the Centre, and her own ability to sentence Jarod to a life
of slavery.
Legacy
Broots' discovery that Jarod's one-time lover Nia
has vanished leads Parker to believe that the Centre is behind it, and that Nia
may be carrying a Pretender's child -- something Dr. Raines will kill to
possess. Parker must weigh her ethics against her position, and find a way
to save both Nia and the child from her own people.
Permanent Vacation
Parker is officially persona non grata
at the Centre, and her father sends her on an enforced vacation to her least
favorite spot in the world, Cozumel, Mexico. She's thoroughly miserable by
the time that an unexpected visitor shows up ... Jarod, who's well aware that
she can't get word to the Centre. What starts as a simple flirtation
quickly takes a more serious turn ... and then a deadly one
Stalking
the Tiger
A tiger preserve can be a dangerous place, even for Jarod,
when events begin to spiral out of control. Alone, wounded, hunted by
tigers, unforeseen enemies, and Miss Parker, Jarod must come to terms with his
most tenacious pursuer. As survival becomes more and more a matter of
cooperation, Miss Parker must choose between her desire for Jarod's capture and
her desire to see him alive at all.
[animal lovers beware]
Whiteout
Miss Parker is walking a delicate line -- chasing Jarod, but with conflicted
loyalties that make her job doubly dangerous. When she ends up trapped
with her prey in an isolated mountain cabin, the dynamics of the situation shift
... and shift again as another, deadlier player enters the game.
