Preorder Alert

We are 4 weeks away from the launch of my newest romantic suspense series! I'm excited to unleash these ladies on their enemies.

In Stealing Vengeance you'll get reacquainted with the Valkyrie assassins you've already met in my Hostage Rescue Team and Colebrook Siblings series, along with a new cast of badass female operatives. Read an excerpt below.

She’s an expert at getting into places she doesn’t belong.
But this is one situation she can’t escape from on her own.

EXCERPT:
Megan bit back a gasp as two hard hands wrapped around her upper arms and whirled her around. “Hey—” Her words cut off as Tyler yanked her off her feet and dragged her into the men’s room, then crowded her up against the door.
She shoved the heels of her hands against his solid chest and opened her mouth to tell him to back the fuck off, but the look on his face made her voice dry up. He was livid, his slate blue gaze drilling into hers, jaw so tight the muscles stood out on either side.
He caged her in against the door with a hand on either side of her head, his huge frame barring her way.
She could have gotten away. A knee to the balls or a shot to the throat and she could easily have escaped. But that look on his face froze her.
“Don’t ever do something that fucking stupid again,” he snarled, right in her face.
“Do what?” she shot back, strangely torn between kneeing him and soothing his ruffled feathers. Or maybe kissing him senseless.
“Argue when I tell you to run. Stand there and fucking argue about who’s covering who when there’s an armed assassin after us. If I give you an order, it’s not because I’m on some male power trip. It’s for your safety. So if I give you an order, you follow it. Got me?” His gaze was so hot it was a wonder she hadn’t melted under the force of it.
Or maybe…maybe she was melting.
It wasn’t male pride she heard in his words. Beneath the anger and frustration, she heard his concern for her. His worry about her safety.
No one had worried about her before. No one except a handler, and only because they had been concerned she might fail to complete her mission. But for some reason, Tyler seemed to care about her.
She didn’t like what that did to her head. Or the flipping sensation it caused deep in her abdomen.
She lifted her chin, refusing to be cowed. She was his equal, dammit, not some helpless female who needed to be coddled and protected, and he needed to recognize that. “Or what?” she demanded.
“Or nothing.” His eyes roved over her face. They dipped to her mouth, and he gave a tight, frustrated shake of his head. “Goddamn it,” he muttered, then plunged a hand into her hair and brought his mouth down on hers.
*END EXCERPT*
Book 2 of the series is up for preorder now as well! Covert Vengeancereleases July 30th.

Revenge came at a heavy price.
 Valkyrie hacker Amber Brown is deadly in her own right, but her preferred weapon is a keyboard. So after her teammates left her for dead, she took her revenge the way she was trained to—swiftly and brutally. Except one of her targets might be innocent. To right that wrong, Amber vows to rescue the at-risk Valkyrie no matter the cost, and this time she’s working alone. So when a sexy stranger shows up in the middle of a firefight and announces he’s been sent by her sister, it’s going to take a whole lot more than his word to make her trust him.

Chasing redemption may prove deadly. 
 Elite gun for hire Jesse Cordova lives on the edge of the law. When a new job offer sets off warning bells, he digs deeper and finds the startling truth. The woman he’s been tasked with capturing is a secret government assassin, and Amber Brown is unlike any target he’s gone after before.  But bringing her in opens them up to a whole new level of danger, pitting them against one of the most ruthless assassins in the world. Now that the sexy Valkyrie has stolen his heart, Jesse will risk everything to see their mission through—knowing that the only way this ends is with one of them dying.
I'm starting book 3 of the series today. Look for Explosive Vengeance to release in late October :).
Happy reading!

Rocky Ground Release!

Dear reader,

It's release day for Aidan and Tiana! Hope you enjoy the conclusion to the Crimson Point Series.


She’s been hurt too many times…
Single mom Tiana Fitzgerald has sworn off all romantic relationships to protect herself and her daughter. Her track record is disastrous and she’s done getting hurt. But a certain sexy Scotsman in Crimson Point has other ideas, and somehow manages to sneak past her defenses at every turn. As the hits keep coming and her life implodes, she begins to see he’s unlike any man she’s ever known. Now he’s become the greatest threat to her heart, because there’s no possible future for them. Not when he’s leaving the country in a few weeks. And when her worst fears are realized, she must risk everything by placing her trust in in his hands.
He’s determined to capture her heart.
Scotsman Aidan MacIntyre never saw the fiery, beautiful Tiana coming. The prickly redhead has gotten under his skin as badly as he wants to get under hers. But she’s determined to keep walls between them. Luckily the former Royal Marine doesn’t know how to give up. Someone from her past wants to hurt her, but Aidan will stand between her and any threat. He’ll stop at nothing to protect her and the little girl who have completely stolen his heart—and fight for them to have a future together.
As a special bonus, Fractured Honor (book 1) is on sale for the next few days for just $0.99 at all retailers. 


And don't forget, the first book in my upcoming Valkyrie Vengeance Series is up for preorder! Stealing Vengeance releases May 28th.

She’s an expert at getting into places she doesn’t belong.
The government created Megan, transforming her into a Valkyrie—a deadly operative only whispered about in certain circles. They took everything from her and made her into a weapon. Now someone is leaking secret information about her sisters-in-arms, betraying them for money. Loyal Unto Death is the Valkyrie motto. So when Megan is recruited to find who leaked the files, she takes the high-risk assignment. Even if it means working with the man who betrayed her trust long ago. Even if it means giving her life. Because she’ll do whatever it takes to find justice.
But this is one situation she can’t escape from on her own.
Tyler Bergstrom never forgot the resourceful woman who escaped during the toughest phase of SERE school. So when he learns the stunning truth about her and his unwitting part in her past, he volunteers to work alongside Megan for a chance at redemption. Except she doesn't want a partner. Doesn’t want to let anyone into her life, including him—hell, especially him. Yet whether she likes it or not, for this mission they’re partners. Now it’s a race against the clock to bring down the shadowy figure targeting Valkyries. But the threat goes deeper then they ever imagined. No one is safe. And if they can’t overcome the past and learn to trust each other, they’re both dead.
At the moment I'm working on book two of this series, Covert Vengeance, and hope to release it in late July or August. Stay tuned for an official release date.

*Last but definitely not least, I have signed a multi-series option agreement with Kafka Pictures, and they hope to develop the Hostage Rescue Team Series into a TV series!!!!*

As the press release stated:

 
"In a joint statement, Kafka Pictures partners Alicia Kafka and Jim Rapsas said: "The moment we started reading Kaylea's novels, we knew this was a treasure trove of fresh, pulse-pounding material that was poised to break ground on television as a brand new category of programming for female audiences.""

Please keep your fingers and toes crossed that a network will be interested.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy Rocky Ground!

Happy reading.

DEA FAST Series #6: Fast Justice



Dear reader,

Aloha from the beautiful island of Maui—FAST Bravo member Kai Maka's homeland. I'm excited to announce that book #6 of the DEA FAST Series is out now!

Sacrifice is a requirement of the job.

Rowan Stewart walked away from the love of a lifetime to focus on the demands of her job as Assistant US Attorney. Now she’s working on the biggest case of her career, prosecuting one of the Veneno cartel’s most notorious members. Except the case presents unexpected challenges—including the man she can’t forget…and a threat she could not foresee.

But this time, it could cost her life.

Special Agent Malcolm Freeman is FAST Bravo’s point man. On an op he’s the first one through the door, leading the way for his team. Professionally, he’s at the top of his game. His personal life is a different story. After Rowan ripped his heart out a year ago he closed himself off to any relationships. When fate throws them together he steps up to ensure she’s protected, even though it might mean getting his heart broken again. But protection isn’t enough. The enemy is determined to use Rowan to get what they want. With her life hanging in the balance, Malcolm and his team race to find her before it’s too late.

He lost her once. He can’t lose her now. This time, failure is not an option.


Victoria and Hamilton's story (DEA FAST Series book #7: Fast Vengeance) is off to my editor this week. Right now I'm gearing up to start an HRT novella featuring Matt and Briar DeLuca once I get home. Guarded is due to release in the summer.

 




Here I am fine-tuning my notes for it. 

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy Rowan and Freeman's story. Happy reading!

Shattered: Hostage Rescue Team Series #11

Dear reader,

It's release day for my latest book in the Hostage Rescue Team Series! I hadn't planned on writing any more stories for this group of characters, but I missed them so much and this story idea popped into my head, so…here we are.

This one is a real nail-biter, focusing mostly on Taya and Nate, with a subplot featuring Carm and Vance. It also has a very special dedication to two readers who touched my heart in a most profound way in the wake of a terrible and recent tragedy.
 
Hostage Rescue Team Series #11
Release Date: November 16, 2017
ISBN: 978-1-928044-24-6
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Format: ebook & print
Length: Novella (40,000 words)
Blurb:
Servare Vitas. 
To save lives. For the men of the FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team, it’s not just a motto; it’s a creed they live by. Nobody knows that better than Special Agent Nate “Doc” Schroder, the team medic. As a former Pararescueman, Nate is accustomed to going into harm’s way to save people—including his wife, Taya—no matter the risk to his own life. But when a catastrophic event turns the tables on the team, suddenly he’s the one whose life needs saving.
However, survival is merely the start of Nate’s battle, because it’s going to take a lot more than medical expertise to pull him through the dark days ahead. While his teammates rally around him, Taya fights to drag the man she loves back into the land of the living. With her at his side and his team at his back, Nate must find new reason to dig deep as he struggles to become whole again.

Also, for a limited time, the Colebrook Siblings Trilogy Box Set, which contains all three books in the series, is on sale for just $1.99. You can find the boy links HERE.

In terms of writing news, I'm just wrapping up the draft of book #5 in the DEA FAST Series. Fast Fury features Agent Kai Maka, and his feisty neighbour Abby. It's mostly set in Maui, so I hope you'll enjoy this unique location as much as I did writing it. I expect to release it in mid-to-late January.

After that manuscript goes off to my editor, I'll be starting on FAST book #6, Fast Justice. The hero will be Agent Freeman, the team's point man, and the heroine a certain US Attorney he can't get over.

Until then, happy reading!

Kaylea :)
