Buried Lies Release!

Dear reader,

Noah and Poppy's book is here! The villain in this one is super creepy. You'll also catch up with Beckett and Sierra, see more of what's going on with Molly and Carter and Jase, and get more of an introduction to Aidan and Tiana.

She left her painful past behind.

 Poppy Larsen is finally free. She moved to Crimson Point to make a new life for herself, full of bright possibilities. A whole new world awaits her, if she can find the courage to trust again—even her gorgeous neighbor, the town sheriff. But darkness lurks in the picturesque Oregon Coast town, concealing a deadly threat that’s closer than she ever imagined.

Now a killer is watching her from the shadows.

 Sheriff Noah Buchanan can’t help but be intrigued by his new neighbor. She’s hard working, sexy as hell, and unlike most of the women in town, she hasn’t thrown herself at him. After it becomes clear that she plans to put down roots here, he finds himself falling more and more for Poppy and her big heart. When someone from her past tries to hurt her, it triggers all his protective instincts. But the real danger is hiding in plain sight. When the unthinkable happens, Noah is thrust into a race against time to save her before it’s too late.

I'm just wrapping up the draft of Aidan and Tiana's story—Rocky Ground will be the 4th and likely the final book of the Crimson Point Series, releasing late March.

After that, I'll be dreaming up a new series about the lost Valkyries I mentioned in my Hostage Rescue Team and Colebrook Siblings series. I'm meeting Katie Reus down in New Orleans for an intensive plotting retreat in mid-January, so she'll help me brainstorm and nail down all the details. 

In the meantime, happy reading, and Happy Holidays!

Fractured Honor Release!

Dear reader,

It's here!!! The first book of my brand new Crimson Point Series! I'm excited for you to meet this fresh cast of characters and their beautiful fictional town on the Oregon Coast, and I hope you'll fall in love with them.


An elite warrior struggling to find his place in the civilian world.
Weary from his years on the battlefield, SF Captain Beckett Hollister has returned home to Crimson Point to take over the family business for his dying father. But adjusting to life outside the military is harder than he imagined, and being back home forces him to confront things he’d rather not face. Including the one woman he shouldn’t want and can’t have—his best friend’s little sister.
A love that was always meant to be.
Town vet Sierra Buchanan has known Beckett her entire life. She’s crushed on him for years, but because of his relationship with her family, the stubborn man refuses to see her as more than the girl he grew up with. As tragedy brings them together, neither of them realizes that the sins of Beckett’s past have come home to haunt him. When Sierra becomes the target of his unforeseen enemy, Beckett must vanquish his demons to save her.

I've also just finished the draft of book 2 in the series, so I'm sharing the cover with you now. Preorder links for Buried Lies will be live in another few weeks. Look for it to release in late November.

Hostage Rescue Team Series Release: Guarded

Have you missed the Hostage Rescue Team crew? Wondered what everyone was up to? Well you're about to find out, because Guarded is out today! This story features Commander Matt DeLuca and his badass wife Briar, and I hope it will keep you glued to the pages :). 
 

She’s a warrior at heart.

Briar’s life was changed forever by a childhood marked by loss and trauma. When she was an orphan the government recruited her into a secret program and turned her into a contract killer. No matter how hard she tries to leave that life behind her, it’s still a part of who she is. She loves and trusts her husband deeply, but old habits die hard. Now everything is about to change for them. When things take a life-threatening turn, Briar is forced to confront her most deeply buried insecurities and find the courage to lay herself bare to the man who has promised to stand by her always.

But this is one battle she can’t win alone. 

Matt loves his independent, badass wife more than anything, but she’s also the most stubborn and frustrating woman he’s ever known. Haunted by a loss that shook him to his core, he’s even more determined to protect Briar now that their lives are about to be altered forever. He’ll do anything for her, but if they’re going to have a shot at a happily ever after as a family, his fierce Valkyrie must first learn to lower her guard and let him in completely.

What am I working on now? Well, I've finished the first story in my new Crimson Point Series, set in a fictional town on the rugged Oregon Coast. Right now Fractured Honor is set to release in late September, and I'm halfway through book two at the moment. I'm planning four books in total for the series, and all the heroes are either former military or current law enforcement. I'm even including a Scottish Royal Marine Commando in the series, because the Scottish accent is the sexiest. And yes, he will wear a kilt at some point :). 


After that, I can't decide whether I want to FINALLY finish the Empowered Series that so many of you have asked me about (book one was Darkest Caress, my one and only paranormal romance), or perhaps staring a brand new series about PJs. Because you know how much I love those guys. Let me know what you think!

Happy reading.

Fast Fury: DEA FAST Series book #5

Dear reader,

Fast Fury is here! I always have a favorite couple for each series, and so far, Kai and Abby are my front runners for the FAST Bravo crew. 

I've mostly set this one in Maui, a beautiful place I will be returning to this March. I love this setting so much and hope you will too. Also, I predict a good number of you will wind up with severe crushes on Kai as you read this one, because that man is just delicious. Fair warning :). 

She’s a woman worth fighting for.
 
Abby McKinley misses her sexy former neighbor from across the hall more than she expected—because he means more to her than she was ready to admit. When she learns the feeling is mutual, she balks at the idea of getting involved with a man who is sure to break her heart. But the pull between them is too strong to deny. Putting caution aside, she agrees to meet up with him in Maui and see where things go. Then, just as she begins to lose her heart to him, her trip to paradise turns into a waking nightmare.
 
He’ll do whatever it takes to make her his.
 
With a series of bad relationships under his belt, FAST Bravo member Kai Maka is ready for something real, and he wants it with Abby. Spending time with her on his home island of Maui gives him the perfect chance to show her how good they could be together. But a shadow has followed him home. A deadly drug cartel has set its sights on him, putting him and those close to him in the crosshairs. When unimaginable tragedy strikes, Kai is powerless to stop it. In the wake of that loss, he’s more determined than ever to keep Abby safe. But he can’t protect her from a threat he can’t see coming. If he can’t stop it in time, Kai will be forced to watch the woman he loves die.

Also, I recently attended the 1,001 Dark Nights Cruise, where I got to hang out with all kinds of amazing authors and readers for a few days at sea. Here are a couple of pictures:
Me with Carrie Ann Ryan, at her colouring party, which of course I was beyond excited to attend, since I'm a colouring geek.


Me with Jessica Scott, active duty Army officer currently teaching at West Point. She's got her master's degree and writes amazing military romances. Holy moly.








Me, Avery Flynn, J. Kenner, and Kimberly Kincaid. They've probably all got master's or PhDs too, but at this point I was afraid to even ask, because I'm over here with my plain old bachelor's degree feeling totally inadequate... haha.


I just wrapped up the draft of FAST book #6, Fast Justice, featuring the team's sexy point man, Special Agent Malcolm Freeman. Now I'm dreaming up all the delicious angst and fireworks of Hamilton and Victoria to wrap up the series. 

Until then, I hope Kai's story keeps you up past your bedtime.

Kaylea :)
