Description:
 
With the shadowy organization still eluding capture, GQ and the team head to London where the next attacks are expected to occur. The SEALs, CIA and MI6 team up to discover the targets. GQ is still working at handling his mom’s death and the information that he has to the possible whereabouts of his father whom he thought was dead. He’s not sure he wants to confirm his mother’s bitter rantings impugning his dad’s character. With his own personal stuff clogging up his head, he’s disconcerted to find himself attracted to the reserved, quirky Dr. Celeste Potter, the cryptologist the NSA has sent to break the encryption on the laptop recovered from the NSH goons in Bolivia. GQ never hurts for female companionship, but his partners never seem to measure up to his expectations. He’s not sure he should even bother courting more disappointment, but the woman proves to be much more than meets the eye.

Initially, Celeste is horrified and unbalanced when her boss assigns her to work not only in London, away from her comfortable home base and her perfect office, but he expects her to collaborate with people—a lot of people. It’s imperative she work alone and only rely on her own personal friend. Then he mentions NSH and everything changes. She does care about what the terrorist group is doing, all those deaths were definitely distressing, but her main interest in them is that they are hidden. There’s no information on the mastermind at all. That intrigues her immensely. She agrees to go. But the reality of interacting with so many causes her stress until Petty Officer Remington “GQ” Nash steps in and seems to know exactly what she needs. Men had never been on her radar—they took up too much time, were messy, and had needs she just didn’t want to understand. But she couldn’t seem to dismiss this particular man, who makes her think too hard and want too much. But she is going to need him when NSH reveals their catastrophic plan that chillingly includes her.

Lily must think on her feet to navigate these new tests and get to her ultimate goal of tracking down the person responsible for ordering Olivia's death, while juggling two enigmatic and sexy males. The aftermath of her afterlife is turning into one complicated mess.

Description:

On leave from the SEALs, Arlo "Scarecrow" Porter heads home to Red River Parish, Louisiana to care for his recently widowed mom and come to terms with his dad's unexpected death. He'd asked Scarecrow to come home because he wanted to reveal a secret to him, but Scarecrow couldn't make it in time. Before his dad passed, he'd been raving about their next door neighbor who had leased some of his parents' land to grow chilies. He finds the owner and grower of Puckerbottom Peppers is beautiful and secretive and very British, Scarlett Jones. His warrior attention piqued and his protective instincts on alert, he intends to discover all her dark secrets.

MI-6 operative, Scarlett Jones had gone off the grid. She’d heard about sweet talking, rough around the edges Arlo Porter, but when he shows up on her doorstep with his slow, southern accent and his instant suspicious demeanor regarding her intentions with his parents’ land, she can’t trust anyone. His suspicions are founded, but she’s given up everything to reclaim her family’s heirlooms that were stolen when her small Russian town had been ransacked by a sadistic rebel leader. She needs to keep this dangerous man close. What she doesn’t bargain on is this man with his deep, penetrating eyes and warrior attitude will challenge everything she’s believed in her whole life.

She’d never been a damsel in distress, but she can’t seem to resist those strong arms and his protective nature. Can there be a happily ever after for her with this man?

BLUE
SEAL Team Alpha
Coming March 27, 2018

Unknown location
Wilds of Kirikhan Province, Russia


From where he was huddling, completely naked and shaking from shock and cold, Petty Officer Ocean “Blue” Beckett could see Justin "Speed" Myerson, the SEAL they’d come to rescue lying in a crumpled heap, wet and, from the looks of him, dead. Tortured, Blue was certain, with the bleak rig of ropes and pulleys hanging from the ceiling over the edge of an above ground pool. There was no waterboarding for these fucks, it was going to be a whole-body experience, like BUD/S. As a surfer, swimmer and survivor of BUD/S—Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training he had an affinity for water. In his class, he’d been able to hold his breath the longest, his aquatic past had served him well. He closed his eyes and could almost envision knifing through the liquid with ease, his breathing even and strong. He’d excelled at every water sport he’d ever attempted. His BUD/S experience had been something he wouldn’t trade for anything. It had made him stronger, more assured, tough as nails.

BUD/S, even with the almost drowning exercise or as it was referred to combat diving, students, using swimming and diving techniques as a way to transport from the launch point to their mission objective, had prepared him for this. Every deployment had tempered him for this. He wasn’t going to give in…ever.

He trembled, shivering when he looked at Myerson’s body, partly from the cold, partly from the terror and shock, but mostly because he wanted to check him, administer first aid, save him. He was so pissed off that he was in this cell and he was so close, yet too far from him to help.

Yeah, the wet, dead lump of Myerson pissed him off, and so did the other two men in the basement, one of whom was behind him somewhere in the dark, silent and waiting, a man he’d recognized as Boris Golovkin one of their High-value targets or HVTs. Myerson had been sent in to take him, but instead, his team had been ambushed and Myerson had been taken hostage. The second team, Blue’s team had also been decimated, Tank wounded, Echo either severely wounded or killed in action in a fearless effort to protect them all. That dog…his eyes welled up, so much a part of their team. He didn’t know how Scarecrow, Hollywood, Ruckus, Kid, Wicked or Cowboy had fared, the rocket propelled grenade or RPG had blown off Blue’s helmet and fucked his comm. As their corpsman, it was his responsibility to know.

It made him sick not to know.

The other rebel HVT wasn’t a man and she was standing in full light, right in front of him—calm, in control, soft-spoken, harder than iron, and the most ruthless Kirikhan rebel second only to Boris.

Blue had memorized the rebel leaders’ bios. He knew who he was dealing with, and it galvanized him. For Natasha Golovkin, there was no tool of destruction, no obstacle too steep and no intellectual path or strategic configuration too complicated to bring to bear on current circumstances. Blue had seen firsthand what they could do.

Blue was a current circumstance, and he felt the weight of that truth with every breath he took. Even if he lived, which wasn’t a given, he’d be run to ground and ruined in a thousand unforeseen ways, ad infinitum, unless his team got him out. He was betting on those relentless bastards, hands down, every goddamn day, hoo-fuck-yah.

Trapped in this fucking place, in the bowels of God-knew-where Kirikhan, face-to-face with Natasha Golovkin, he was lost behind enemy lines. He was about to find out what the husband and wife team was capable of and make no mistake, he was in a fight for his life and his honor.

Both precious, one he could lose, but the other would redeem him, make his life worth something other than the failure of his last mission.

Honor and resistance was the way a SEAL went out.

It would be the way he went out.
