SEAL TEAM TIER 1 - HAZARD - IS RELEASED!

 OUT NOW!

 

 

Of all the women who had to be deployed with his team, it had to be difficult and outspoken US Attorney Leigh Waterford, a woman who got under his skin from the very beginning, one who slipped in under his radar and hit him broadside. Now he was back to being her bodyguard, and it was so very hard for him to get past that body of hers. But the most sensual part of the woman was her mouth...and what she could do to him in both debate and action. SEALs plan for all contingencies, but with wildcard Leigh it was all out of control and dangerous both behind doors and outside the wire. Leigh was used to being alone for a long time now, her work and career foremost in her mind, but Hazard was making her remember what it was like to be close to someone strong, warm, and seductive. He challenged her at every turn, but what was wending around her heart like gentle vines was his singular and exceptional way of showing how much he was on her side...all in all the time. How was she supposed to focus on the job at hand?

Description:
 
After apprehending the money man who caters to cartels, Hazard and the team discover a connection to the Alzate Cartel and their leader Angel. The lead takes them to Bogota, Colombia, one of the roughest cities in South America where he comes up against US Attorney Leigh Waterford, a difficult, beautiful, and determined lawyer. Hazard chaffs against her presence, believing that civilians didn't have any business being embedded with a SEAL Team. He'd previously acted as her bodyguard while NCIS handled a volatile, dangerous, and intense investigation. Now that his team were on the trail of Alzate, the mission was clear. Take him and his organization down. Hazard finds himself distracted for the first time ever on a mission. His focus is always on duty when he’s deployed, but Leigh is giving him a run for his money. She makes him crazy…her beauty, toughness, competence, and a body to die for. Could this woman make him break his cardinal rule?

Leigh has always been challenged in life by her parents, her significant others, and her bosses. She's not only out to prove everyone wrong, but to deliver one of the most wanted organizations on the planet. Alzate had ordered the deaths of government drug task force members in San Diego, and she was going to ensure that he didn't slip through any loopholes. As the special judicial attaché assigned to her only after she went to the mat for the job, she now has this mission on her shoulders, and failing isn't an option. She has always been on a mission and her personal life has always suffered, but she accepts that is the sacrifice she makes for justice. Except Hazard’s presence tempts her beyond belief and draws her closer and closer to breaking her one cardinal rule. Never get involved with anyone in uniform.

EASY - SEAL TEAM EAST - IS RELEASED!

   OUT NOW!


Sometimes they prepared for a mission for days, traveled for hours to get to the location, and the actual time it took to save the girl would take minutes. Easy grinned. He loved this shit. They’d get Astraea Jacqueline Devers out and be on their way home before the bad guys knew what happened. That was the plan, but Miss Devers, who went by Jack, had a different aim in mind. The woman had been falsely arrested, incarcerated and brutalized in the famous El Helicoide, a spiraling maze of a crumbling former shopping mall converted into a prison located in Caracas, Venezuela. She wasn't leaving without something that was stolen from her. That sets off the series of unfortunate incidents that leaves Easy and the lovely Jack thrown together, separated from his team, and on the run in a hostile country. Jack, who has lost all sanity in this punishing environment, finds herself under the protection of one of the sexiest alpha males she'd ever met. Sworn off these pushy types, she soon discovers that Easy doesn't fit any stereotype or box she tries to put him in. There's nothing but pure adrenaline both in and out bed with this man, and only part of her fascination with him is his mad, commando skills that add to a full package of gorgeous, intense, and unpredictable Navy SEAL. With her ruthless captor on their trail, can Jack not only live through this harrowing escape, but find a kind love that she's never known only to lose everything in the end?
