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.
