His wife, state police trooper Tessa Leoni, claims to have shot him in self-defence and for Boston detective D.D. Warren it should be an open-and-shut case. But where is their six-year-old daughter?

Alone
Same Boston cop procedural with a hostage-standoff split second and a woman with buried secrets, but darker on assault and captivity threads.
The Survivors Club
Another Gardner case where the obvious suspect is a wronged woman; more revenge-driven and less about a missing child.
Colton's Deep Cover
Keeps the abuse-and-stalking danger but adds a protective bodyguard romance with a guaranteed happy ending, lighter and mildly steamy.
Missing Mother-to-be
Kidnapping and a threatened child again, but framed as a spicy second-chance romance with a hopeful resolution instead of bleak investigation.
Silver Bay
Another mother shielding her daughter from a violent past, but the danger stays background noise while a gentle coastal romance takes over.
The Girl You Left Behind
Keeps the women-fighting-for-what-they-love-at-any-cost core and wartime menace, though it trades police procedural tension for historical romance and slow ache.
