Blindsided: A Titanium Security Christmas Novella

I'm thrilled to bring you my first ever Christmas story today. Blindsided is about the Titanium Security team. This is no fluffy holiday story, however, so get ready to do some nail biting as I bring the team together for a roller coaster of a reunion. I hope you'll hold your breath, cry and laugh along with this cast of characters I've missed so much. It’s a Titanium Christmas reunion… Grace and Alex Rycroft have just moved into their newly renovated house in upstate New York and they’ve invited the whole Titanium Security crew to celebrate an early Christmas with them. But not all is merry and bright. Unfortunately things don’t go as planned. When the unthinkable happens at a veteran’s charity event in the middle of Manhattan, the team must pull together to take down the attacker and rally around a wounded teammate in the tragic aftermath. With one of their own left fighting for his life, it’s going to take a Christmas miracle to pull him through and make the holiday season bright. (*Note: This novella is a final wrap-up of the Titanium Security Series and is not meant to be read as a stand-alone.)

She is an absolute hoot, and modeled after my own darling late grandma. I had SO much fun writing this one! Can't wait for you to read it. Last but not least, yesterday I finished up the draft of Falling Fast, the first book of my new DEA FAST Series, which will release in late January. It features Charlie and Jamie, and picks up right at the end of their part in Easton's Claim, the final book of the Colebrook Siblings Trilogy. Now I'm on to the next one. That's all the news for now! Wishing you all a safe and wonderful holiday season, from my family to yours. Lots of love and happy reading, Kaylea :)

New Release: Marked

Yay, it's summer! Here in North America, just in time for Canada Day and the Fourth of July, the first book of my new Hostage Rescue Series is out! This one features sexy FBI Special Agent Jake Evers, whom you might remember from the Titanium Security Series.
 

When danger lurks behind a familiar face…
Successful architect Rachel Granger loves her job and her life, but when a terrorist on the FBI’s most wanted list targets her, there’s only one man she can trust. She hasn’t seen Jake in years but her former college friend told her he’d always be there for her and she definitely needs him now. Even though her feelings for him go far deeper than friendship and just being around him risks her heart, she would do anything to keep those she loves safe from a madman bent on unleashing hell.
 

Only one man from her past can help
FBI Special Agent Jake Evers made the biggest mistake of his life when he let Rachel slip through his fingers over two years ago. It doesn’t matter that he hasn’t seen her since then—if she needs him, he’ll be there. When he learns that she’s the target of a domestic terror cell, he’ll do everything in his power to keep her safe. He’s never gotten over her and won’t risk losing her again now that she’s reappeared in his life. But the threat is more widespread than they realized and now it’s a race against time to keep her and scores of innocent civilians alive.

This series will have at least four books, but possibly more. Unlike my previous series, each book will focus on a separate operation with its own unique villain/crisis. I'm working on book 2 of the series right now and hope to release it in late summer. 

 

Hope you enjoy Jake and Rachel's story!

Also, for those of you who have asked, there are two Bagram Special Ops Series books currently available in print: Deadly Descent (book 1) and Danger Close (book 4, which I self published). The remaining two books in the series are only in digital and audio formats right now, but I'm crossing my fingers and toes that my publisher, Carina Press, will put them out in paperback format one day as well.

 

Happy reading!

Rekindled is Live!

I have so much to share with you this post! Okay, here goes...

First off, Rekindled is officially live on Amazon. It will appear in the near future on Barnes & Noble, Kobo and iBooks (Apple), and in paperback as well. Woot! I'm so excited for you to read Alex and Grace's story.

Secondly, I've bundled the first three books of the Titanium Security Series, for those of you who prefer box sets. This first set includes Ignited, Singed and Burned, for $5.99.

Thirdly, I've received the rights back to 4 of the 5 books in my Suspense Series, and have revised them. Some are already up for sale in both digital and paperback, and hopefully all of them will be available in both formats by next weekend.

Here are the gorgeous new covers and the scoop on the new editions: 

Book #1, Out of Her League: has been heavily revised, and I'm offering it for $0.99 until the end of the month. It's basically still the same storyline, but stronger and tighter.

Book #2, Cover of Darkness: has not been changed at all, since my publisher still holds the rights and will continue to do so for several more years.

Book #3, No Turning Back: same story, only tighter.

Book #4, Relentless: ditto, although it's not expected to be up at retail sites until late next week.

Book #5, Absolution: my favorite book of the series! I've tightened it and tweaked a few things. I love the cover image of Luke with his distinguished head of gray-streaked hair, and Em wearing her long wig while she faces her brave battle with breast cancer.

I hope you love this new look for the Suspense Series as much as I do! I'll be holding a Facebook and Twitter party to celebrate the release of Rekindled in about 10 days, so stay tuned for more details!

Until then, happy reading.

Minecraft Madness

First off, a huge thank you to all my readers for their support of my Titanium Security Series! To be honest I'm kind of stunned at the reception the books have received so far--stunned in the best way possible :).

I'm slowly but surely making headway on Burned, Sean and Zahra's story but of course with my boys home all summer I don't have as much time at the computer as I do when they're in school. I also promised both of them I'd make them each a quilt to fit their beds. My 9 year old wanted a Minecraft quilt so last week I got out a piece of graph paper and drew up the quilt top on it for a "creeper" design.

On Monday afternoon I took the boys with me to the fabric shop and bought all the material for the top, then I went home and got busy cutting and piecing. On Tuesday I went back for the border fabric and bought the backing, batting and binding material as well. I used a black "minkee" fabric for the backing, layered and quilted the whole thing and finally put on the binding. Hand stitching the binding onto the backing to finish on Thursday took almost as long as it did to make the quilt top, but I can say beyond doubt that this quilt was handmade with love.

Luckily, big weasel was thrilled with it. I told him even if Minecraft is no longer "the" thing when he goes off to college, too bad, he still has to take it with him :).

I'll be starting little weasel's quilt next week but first I've got to make a serious dent in the draft of Sean and Zahra's story!
