TRUSTING GRACE - NCIS SERIES BOOK 12 - IS RELEASED

  OUT NOW!

 The last NCIS Series Book! Stay Tuned for NCIS Annapolis!

With the classified drone disaster that destroyed Grace Harlan’s career buried deep in NCIS archives, she’s spent the last year surviving in exile. Quiet. Precise. Untouchable. But when an off-the-books anomaly surfaces at OrdoTech Strategies, she’s pulled back into the shadows—and partnered with the last person she expected.

Former SEAL Nashir “Nash” Rahim knows the signs of a system gone bad. What he doesn’t expect is the brilliant, redheaded analyst who’s been assigned to watch his six. Grace is guarded, sharp as hell, and entirely too close to the breach that almost killed them both.

Now they’re embedded inside the contractor that nearly ended them, and the deeper they dig, the more the system pushes back—glitches, surveillance, and shadows in the code that feel almost… aware. Justice may be the mission, but something colder is watching—and it's already rewriting the rules.

In a world of ghost code, artificial intelligence, and erased deployments, Grace and Nash must fight to uncover the truth—and confront the desire neither of them can afford. But when the system turns sentient, and the past threatens to finish what it started, survival might depend on the one thing both thought they lost forever…Trust.

Genre: Military Romantic Suspense

Release Date: May 26, 2025

Description:

A broken analyst. A former SEAL. One chance to uncover the truth and each other.

NCIS cyber specialist Grace Harlan was once the sharpest mind in military intelligence until a drone strike killed her team, left her scarred inside and out, and made her the convenient scapegoat. Exiled to a quiet NCIS facility in Phoenix, she’s been forced into dead-end work while secretly chasing justice. But when an off-the-books, technically illegal investigation opens a door, Grace is pulled into a high-stakes mission and partnered with the last man she expected.

Nashir “Prophet” Rahim doesn’t remember the events that got his team killed. Medically discharged and haunted by blank spots in his memory, he knows only one thing for certain, something went wrong with his black op mission, and the truth is hidden behind encrypted code, classified silence, and strategic lies. Grace is his last resort, her brilliance pitted against all odds, and the only chance he has to uncover what was stolen from him.

She’s there to hack. He’s there to protect her. But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the system becomes. Someone or something is manipulating the data. Watching them. Hunting them.

What begins as a covert insertion spirals into a deadly conspiracy with an evolving digital enemy… and a bond between Grace and Nash that neither of them saw coming.

The truth is buried. The risk is personal. The cost…is everything.

D-DAY - SEAL TEAM ALPHA - IS RELEASED!


  OUT NOW!


With the disaster between D-Day and Helen Buckard six months in the past, D-Day hasn't been able to let it go. He's grinding himself into the ground, and it isn't until he and Helen are thrown back together in the wild jungle of the Philippines that their relationship can move forward, but in such a hostile environment. The last person Helen expected to see while on her Doctors for the World assignment was Andrew "D-Day" Nolan who had left so abruptly from her family's ranch in Wyoming. She'd agonized over those last moments with him, sure that she wanted to pursue a relationship with him, but now they were thrust into his world of violence, spy craft, and subterfuge. How would they survive this mission, let alone reconcile themselves to the volatile relationship each of them desperately wanted?

Description:

Andrew “D-Day” Nolan came by his call sign naturally. With a great-grandfather and two uncles storming the Normandy Beaches, he has a proud ancestry. Due to a past that is full of heartache, especially with his family, he is wary of most people, women in general. At least, that was until he got tangled up with Sam “Buck” Buckard’s sister, Helen, against the stringent SEAL rule that sisters are off limits. He intends to avoid Helen, adding even more heartache since he’s been adopted by the whole Buckard clan after his frequent visits to Buck’s ranch in Wyoming. He’s going to miss that family and the ranch like hell. It had become more home to him than his own home. But when the team's ongoing mission sends them to the Philippines to prevent a terrible catastrophe, D-Day comes face-to-face with Helen who is working with a US medical group. In the past, he hasn’t been able to resist her, and he knows that given the opportunity, he’ll break his vow.

Helen had no idea when she went home on leave from her  job that she would run smack into Andrew “D-Day” Nolan while he was a guest at her family’s ranch. He had been reticent and distant until he wasn’t, and they had carried on a torrid affair right under her family’s noses. She had no idea there was any kind of SEAL rule about sisters, and to be honest, she didn’t much care. Still waters did run deep. Everything went to hell after Buck’s and Mari’s wedding reception, and now she had to deal with her unrequited love…until he shows up at her assignment in Manila. As a highly sought after trauma nurse, she was on a mission to help people in need. But little did she know how dangerous it was to be a pioneer in a country riddled with so many challenges. Criminals and terrorists only had one plan. Extortion, trafficking, and violence were at the top of their agenda. Helen soon discovers that D-Day’s big, strong arms and warrior attitude was all the security she needed.

Description:

On the same day that the city of Hiroshima was reduced to ash by the first atomic bomb, the USS Kittiwake became the last U.S. Navy ship sunk by the enemy during WWII. The submarine is thought to have been hit by depth charges dropped by a Japanese plane on August 6, 1945, off the coast of Bali. The wreck of the submarine has never been found. Until now. Oceanographers discover some of the wreckage of the sub. The team is assigned to provide protection to fleet divers to extract the remains and the wreck against growing unrest in Indonesia from a splinter faction of students who have grown violent, calling themselves Tujuh Tuntutan or Seven Demands. Twister comes up against sexy, sassy, fearless Sadie as one of the fleet divers for the site. His mind should be on protecting her body, not getting his hands on every beautiful curve.

Sadie is all about the job and the diving. She’s a career girl and has no interest in getting involved with a SEAL and trying to make long distance work. She wants to be free to take the assignments she chooses. So, a hot, steamy fling wouldn’t be out of the question, but it would be so temporary. Except Twister doesn’t live up to anyone’s stereotypes, including hers. As she gets to know him, it becomes harder and harder to resist thoughts of the long-term. That’s if they can make it out of Bali alive once the splinter group targets them for death.

EASY - SEAL TEAM EAST - IS RELEASED!

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.

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?
