Deadly Sins

Berkley Sensation

ISBN: 0425240681

An unknown assassin has appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner, brutally taking out high-level human targets citywide. And the list of suspects is a sensitive one: an Iranian diplomat, a U.S. senator, and a vengeful priest. It's just the kind of case to test the resolve of tough FBI agent, Jaid Marlowe. Especially when her new partner is Adam Raiker, Jaid's former colleague and ex-lover. But that's history—and it left scars.

Determined to leave it behind them, Jaid and Adam dive into the most shocking investigation of their careers. But when Adam himself becomes a suspect, Jaid must choose between past and present. Her choice plunges them into a far-reaching, high-level conspiracy of shadows—and on the run not only from secrets and lies, but for their lives. Now, despite their history, they have only each other, and the desperate hope that love can keep them alive.

Deadly Dreams

Berkley Sensation

ISBN: 0425240681

Risa Chandler's prescient dreams of death and murder haunted her nights. They also proved invaluable for Adam Raiker's brilliant team of forensic criminologists, the Mindhunters—until a tragic end to one case shattered Risa's confidence, and drove her into seclusion. But for Risa, there's no hiding from death—or from her dreams.

Though skeptical, Philadelphia homicide detective Nate McGuire enlists Risa's help in finding a serial killer who has claimed three victims. Reluctantly, she agrees. Because she's been dreaming again—rituals by fire, charred horrors, tortured screams. But Risa's feeling something else: the heat of a stranger who's watching her just as closely, a madman with dreams of his own—to make Risa his ultimate fiery sacrifice.

"Kylie Brant has a winning series with the Mindhunters! I can hardly wait for the next installment. A complex, page-turning mystery plus a heart-felt romance blends into a fast-paced story that kept me reading until the wee hours. Deadly Dreams has everything a great romantic thriller needs." — Allison Brennan, New York Times bestselling author of Love Me To Death

"This is another winning Mindhunters novel as Brant takes readers on a nonstop ride full of action, suspense and intrigue. Winning characters and genuine romance help create a full-bodied romantic suspense." — Annette Elton, Romantic Times Magazine

"Kylie Brant provides another powerful 'Deadly' thriller that grips the audience from the first meeting between Nate and Risa at a horrific homicide scene and never lets go until the final fiery confrontation. Fans will enjoy this exhilarating taut romantic suspense." — Harriet Klausner, The Mystery Gazette

Deadly Intent

Berkley Sensation

ISBN: 0425238539

No one knows the patterns and nuances of communication like forensic linguist Macy Reid. She is also an expert on kidnapping, having experienced firsthand the stark terror of being abducted when she was a child. So she is the perfect investigator to be called in when a Denver tycoon's eleven-year-old daughter is abducted—for the second time.

The biggest stumbling block for Macy may be a member of her own team: Kellan Burke, the wisecracking, rule-breaking investigator who relishes getting under Macy's skin. Their styles couldn't be more different; the attraction between them more explosive. And when it becomes apparent that Macy can't solve the case without confronting the demons from her past, Kell is just the man to take her there—and back.

"Deadly Intent yanks you gut first into a story filled with masterful suspense. It's an edge-of-your-seat read from start to finish with memorable characters and a villian that will haunt your dreams. Can't wait to find out what happens next." — New York Times bestselling author Sharon Sala 

"Brant follows up last year's Waking the Dead with another fantastic read in The Mindhunters series. Deadly Intent is gripping, action packed and thoroughly compelling." — Anette Elton, Romantic Times

"…spine-chilling." — Kathy Andrico, ReaderToReader.com

Waking Nightmare

Berkley Sensation

ISBN: 0425230236

First he learns your darkest fears. Then he makes you live them.

With a serial rapist on the loose on the streets of Savannah, hot-shot detective Ryne Robel needs all the help he can get for his task force. And he needs it now, before another woman falls victim. But Abbie Phillips isn't what he bargained for. Sent from an exclusive group of the best criminologists in the country, she's smart, fierce…and distracting. She may be a brilliant forensic profiler, but Ryne needs answers, not pyschobabble and head games.

However, Abbie convinces him that head games are exactly what this elusive suspect is all about. The seemingly random acts or torture are actually calculated to match each victim's darkest fears. And the stakes are rising. While they study the devious psychopath, he's watching them—the next objects of his horrifying obsession.

"Brant and romantic suspense are a dynamic duo!" — Jill Smith, Romantic Times

"The writing is vivid and strong…suspense fans will love the unexpected twist and pulse-pounding climax." — Publishers Weekly

Waking Evil

Berkley Sensation

ISBN: 0425230716

Buffalo Springs, Tennessee is a neighborly kind of place where folks leave their doors unlocked and crime is unheard of. But once every generation, a strange red mist settles over the town, and with it comes omens of death…

When the body of a young woman is found, forensic investigator Ramsey Clark is called in. She knows about the legend of the mist and about the curse that has the entire town afraid of the dark. But Ramsey believes in evidence, not superstition, despite what she’s told by the parapsychologist who has been dogging her every step. Then another murder rocks Buffalo Springs, and Ramsey begins to wonder if a killer is playing on everyone’s fears or if a prophecy is indeed being fulfilled—one victim at a time.

"This is fantastic romantic suspense! A genuine and thorough whodunit coupled with one of the sweetest slow-burn romances ever put on paper." — Annette Elton

"…a superb police procedural romantic suspense enhanced by the supernatural and the romance." — Harriet Klausner, Genre Go Round Reviews

"…a totally engrossing read." — The Romance Studio, 5 out of 5 stars

Berkley Sensation

ISBN: 0425231143

Former forensic anthropologist Caitlin Fleming knows bones. So the investigator is the first one called when seven sets of skeletal remains are found dumped in a makeshift graveyard in the Oregon wilderness. Each skeleton bears the same distinctive marks. And each is minus a skull.

Cait needs outdoors guide Zach Sharper for one reason only—to help her find her way through the Willamette Forest as she pieces together clues. Despite the attraction that burns between them, nothing will be allowed to shake her focus. Until the killer closes in to terminate the investigation…and the ones on the verge of unmasking him…
