But I danced in the strip clubs before I joined the Army and I knew that world. I knew I could find the evidence Joss needed to stop the men using The Red Door Gentleman’s Club to use and discard women who were desperate to bring their families to this country. The images of those poor women, beaten and abused, haunted my thoughts each time I looked at the men responsible. How could anyone be that cruel? How could anyone be that heartless? Yet, Xavier Damico was different from what I expected. Had Gray Wolf gotten it wrong this time? SHAW Joss Matthews was a badass and I wanted nothing more than to prove myself to be just as good as she was. Fresh out of the Marines, I thought I had it in the bag when Ash Grayson hired me himself. It didn’t matter that my first operation turned out to be babysitting a drunk. It was still a chance to prove myself. ERIN I don’t do well with intimacy. I don’t like to be touched. I don’t even like men to look at me. Then why was I in a bar, setting some guy up to see if he could be faithful to his wife? I was relieved when the assignment was over and he was out of my life. Yet, he wasn’t. He kept showing up. First at a restaurant and then in my house. And the story he had to tell…either I was about to be a hero, or I was about to magnificently lose my job. KARI I walk into that room expecting a stranger, someone I can manipulate, maybe even drug. Instead, there stands my neighbor, but he’s not the same, kind, gentle man I thought I knew. And we're caught up on this case together, both working toward a separate end, both aware of the consequences should our covers be blown. Can I trust him? Can trust even exist in this screwed up world? JOSS Eleven years ago, Joss Grant Hernandez Matthews lost her son and husband in a tragic accident after a drunk driver made the choice to get behind the wheel. Four years later, she found a good man who brought her out of her grief and gave her a new purpose. But that accident has come back to haunt her. The family of the drunk driver want her to pay for what they see as his tragic death by his own hand. Her daughter is missing and her husband has become a target of this same enemy. Joss is carrying the weight of it all on her own shoulders, unsure of who she can trust and unwilling to place anyone else she loves in danger. They’ve all lost so much. How can she ask them to risk more? However, Joss is forgetting one thing. Gray Wolf is a family. And family doesn’t let family walk alone.

    She’s never failed on a mission, and she’s not about to fail on the most important mission ever-keeping her newly designed security system safe.

Dylan Mason and his brothers have put everything on the line to form The Arsenal. When the paramilitary arena is rocked by Edge’s capture, he’ll do whatever it takes to get the fearless operative back, but his wary heart isn’t ready to handle the vulnerable woman buried beneath the hardened shell.

    No cliffhangers. Book 1: Peter I was dead for two years. My death faked, I was held captive by a rogue CIA agent who was crazy enough to use an international terrorist cell to steal from everyone. He was literally getting rich on terror. Rescued, my life is no longer my own. My brother is married to my girl, raising my son. He even works at the family business, taking over my goal of stepping into Dad’s role when he retires. I’m unmoored, fighting the current of my own life. But then I meet her and she turns everything upside down. Am I even capable of commitment? Of love? Or am I too broken to be the man she needs me to be? Book 2: Rhett He doesn’t know who he is. A year ago he woke in a hospital with no memory of his name, his occupation, or how he got himself in that predicament. All he had was a security badge from an unknown business and a duffle bag full of money. I was supposed to find his past for him. The thing was, I found it characteristically impossible to think whenever I looked at him. God knew what he was doing when he made Richard Chandler. Or was his name Xander King? Book 3: Kevin I couldn’t believe it was her voice on the other end of the phone. She was the love of my life, my bride at the ripe old age of eight. But she crushed my heart and my reputation the moment we reached high school. We hadn’t spoken in nearly nine years, yet I was the first call she made when she needed help. Her sister was getting married and Kirsten wanted to stop the wedding. She knew I’d do anything for her baby sister, but she didn’t anticipate that I’d take Dallas’ side over hers. As fun as it was to annoy her, I hadn’t anticipated the rush of old feelings that would come out as we spent the weekend trapped together. And when the groom-to-be turned up dead with Kirsten’s gun under his body…I suddenly found myself in a trap that was bigger than old history. Book 4: Kasey I don’t believe in aliens. I don’t go running from city to city hoping to find evidence of something that simply doesn’t exist beyond some Hollywood writer’s imagination. But I understand mental illness. When I was sent to find Rosalie Matthias, I went with the understanding that she was off her meds and she needed someone who could handle her case with diplomacy. I didn’t expect to run into an aura reading, spiritual spouting, alien believing woman who would make it completely impossible for me to stay on task. Karma Meyers was one of the most beautiful women I’d ever met, but she had more secrets than the aliens she was trying to prove existed. Book 5: Amelia How cliché is it, a woman in love with her boss? I hate clichés, but who wouldn’t fall for a guy like Hayden Dubois? He wanted the world to think he was made of stone, but everyone knew about the grief he suffered at the death of his love. What was it about grief that made a man more of a romantic figure? That was until Rowan McGregor walked into my life. Covered in blood and demanding protection, he insisted that the woman found dead in his bed was not there by his own hand. Having the blood of an innocent woman on his hands didn’t stop him from being a cocky ass who thought he knew everything about me with one glance at the fangirl pics on my fridge. I hated him, hated everything about him, but then we were on the run, dependent on one another, acting as husband and wife, and…what is it they say? One thing led to another… Book 6: Hayden Nope. Not giving you any clues about Hayden's story here ;)

I’ve never pretended to be anything more, but that didn’t give her the right to pretend that I wasn’t smart enough to have read all those fancy books she taught her students, or that I wasn’t brave enough to have served my country. Her and her privileged background—what did she know about working for a living? What did she know about pride and bravery? But there was something about her, something irresistible. And when she got herself caught up in the middle of the very first case Gray Wolf Security’s newest office was assigned to handle—that I was assigned to handle—I couldn’t quite find a way to keep my distance from her. Would I have kept my distance if I’d known I’d have to make a choice between her and Sutherland Knight, my best friend’s widow, and my boss? What the hell have I gotten myself into? GRAINGER I grew up on a farm, but I left there the moment I could to join the Navy and then I got myself engaged to a Santa Monica beauty. The last thing I wanted was to be shipped off to Wyoming to go back to the life I'd left behind. But here I was, pretending to be married to a short, curvy woman who was nothing like the beauty who ran off with my best buddy. I don't know why Ash Grayson would think joining this new satellite office of Gray Wolf would help heal my broken heart. Yet, there was something beautiful in the simplicity of small town life. And Eve Spraberry might not be the angel the town seemed to think she was, but she was angelic enough to distract me from the life I left behind and that was kind of the point, wasn't it? LANCE Becky was a mystery from the moment I set eyes on her. I knew she was a single mother and that sometimes came with some wariness, but her resistance to my charms was extraordinarily strong. She wanted me—I could feel it in her kisses—but she pulled away when things got too deep. I could never have imagined, however, how dark the mystery really was. No one could have guessed that Becky, MidKnight Ranch's reliable employee over the past five years, was on the run from the FBI. Yet, here we were, running from an FBI agent, sleeping on the frozen ground and planning on abandoning everything we'd ever known—including her daughter. What had I gotten myself into with this woman? And how was I going to get out? Did I even want to get out? CLINTON I came here for my own reasons, the job just playing a secondary role to my prime objective. It was fortuitous when the Mahoney raid was suggested and my captain gave me the opportunity to take part. After all, I'd worked with the DEA in Florida, at least as far as he knew. Taking down a drug operation like the Mahoney Cartel should be just a walk in the park for me. I didn't anticipate it turning into a complete ambush or that she would be the one to come to my rescue. She was beautiful and resourceful, but she was a distraction. I couldn't let anything stand in the way of me and my prime objective. SUTHERLAND I’m a widow. I’m a mother. I’m a rancher. Nowhere in that description is lover or savior. But some cosmic force thought it would be hilarious to throw in the Hollywood hunk next door at the same time some massive criminal organization decides to kidnap my dead husband’s best friend, my mentor, my friend. To add to the list, someone’s been sabotaging my ranch and someone else has been stealing secrets from my office and giving them to the enemy. Or maybe it’s the same person.

    Traveling around the globe, hobnobbing with the elite, she did things other people could only dream of, but it was all a cover. As a covert operative of Deimos, a US black-ops agency that has more secrets than the CIA, she knew how to handle herself in any given situation, even if it required killing someone. But when her latest mission goes awry, leaving her in a wheelchair, she feels she has nothing left to live for. Delta Force member, Sergeant First Class Lucas “Frisco” Ingram, will never forget the day he met the pretty spy whose life was turned upside down in a split second. Torn and bleeding, she begged him to leave her to die, but he couldn’t do it. Now he can’t get her out of his head, and she wants nothing to do with him. But when a terrorist threatens an attack on American soil, Haven might be the only one who can help him and his teammates stop it. While forced to work together, can Lucas convince Haven his feelings for her are not a result of guilt or pity and he has truly fallen for her? Will Haven figure out she has something worth fighting for staring her right in the face? Or will their chance for a happy-ever-after be blown to hell? 
In addition to being part of Susan Stoker's Special Forces: Operation Alpha Kindle World, Handling Haven is Book 1 in the Deimos series, which is a spinoff of Samantha A. Cole's popular Trident Security series.

I mean, he did work for my big brothers and they could be a huge obstacle in any relationship I was involved in. And his best friend was my other brother.

But then a vendetta some motorcycle club held against his brothers came to roost on my doorstep and we were thrown together, forced to breathe the same air again for the first time in ten years.

Soon Shannon is wondering just what it would take for John to want her the way she wants him. When an old enemy tries to settle a vendetta against Shannon, John insists on protecting her. Will the connection that they’ve found survive when they’re thrust into a fight for their lives?

Embattled Home Failure is never an option regardless of circumstances. Chad needs to stop Lost and Found's deranged client from using the information he gathered to stalk and abuse his ex.

    Lots of suspense, mystery, and romance. No cliffhangers! Altering the Ego My boss told me to hire a psychiatrist to do an evaluation on a client. It should have been a simple thing. We were an investigative firm. Our client is most definitely not a serial killer. My task? Hire a shrink. Get her to agree that the client isn’t a psychopath. Boom. Except the boom wasn’t my task getting checked off my list. It was more like my life exploding into a million pieces because nothing is simple when it comes to Dr. Harley Seward. The woman is mental health dynamite and when I’m around her there is no shrinking going on. Cat’s Claw The world is full of a whole lot of sickos. That’s no real surprise. Since I’m a private investigator by trade, I might be biased. But right now I’m looking at a whole string of bodies and a justice system that wants to put the wrong man in jail. So pardon me if I’m not real impressed with the local detectives right now. And double pardon me if I have orders from my boss to get in their way and make myself a regular nuisance while I try to get these guys to do their job. Not that it’s a hardship since the guy I’m following around happens to be the best looking guy in the department. Of course he’s also a big of an odd duck. He seems to be immune to my charm and that is what I call a challenge. Judge Not Someone is threatening to kill my mother. Of course it’s not that I’ve never felt like the woman needed a few good threats, but I’m her daughter. That’s sort of my right. See my mother is a judge and someone really wants to sway her opinion on a case she’s currently presiding over. So what better way to do that than to threaten her family? Of course if the idiots knew her at all they’d focus on my sister. She’s the favorite. But me? I’m the tough one. My mother might be willing to turn down a little help from an outside private investigations company, but I’m not. If a super hot investigator named Zeke wants to help me find out who’s threatening my family. I’m all in. No matter what it takes. Bending the Rules I am sick to death of my job as a private investigator and ready for a change. Is there a man out there who doesn’t cheat, lie, or completely wimp out when the chips are down? If there is, I can’t find him, and that absolutely includes the parade of MMA fighters I’ve been dating recently. Of course my search for Mr. Nonexistent will have to wait until after I deal with the joker that my boss has ordered me to work with on his current pet project. Not only does he live upstairs, but he’s also a lawyer. The fact that he sort of fascinates me is irrelevant. Really. If my boss’s daughter wasn’t such a good friend, I think I would have walked away. When it All Falls Down Letting my wife divorce me was probably the stupidest thing I ever did. I would never say that out loud though and I’ll deny it if anyone asks. Colleen is an amazing woman. I just wish she would stay out of the way and let me use every resource at my fingertips to find our daughter. Does the woman not understand that the city is a powder keg and we’re running around out there with matches? I know what to do. I know where to look. I’ve got a crack team of investigators and I’ve assembled all of the specialists I could ever want. In the end though, it’s going to take both of us to find our little girl.

But when I realize that her brother is missing because of something that happened in my club, there’s really nothing for me to do but help her out. Something isn’t right around here and I’m ashamed to say that I’ve been a little blind to some stuff that was right under my nose. Lexi has woken me up in so many ways and I’m not sure I’ll ever be the same again. Book 2: Aaron I’m in Boston for one reason, to chase down a lead on my boss’s missing son. Joshua is the owner and CEO of Joshua Pettit Investigations and he tells me where to go and when. But it’s always up to me to find the best way to crack a case wide open. Of course this is the first time that my main informant in any case turned out to be a prostitute. For the moment she and I have mutual goals. But the more time I spend with Johanna, the more time I realize that there’s a lot more to her than anyone has ever given her credit for. Book 3: Zandry Coming to Denver in search of some runaway teens that might or might not be my boss’s kid is about the vaguest assignment I’ve ever had.

Something isn’t quite adding up here and it has nothing to do with the carnies coming to town. Of course hanging out with pickpockets occasionally means you get accused of doing the deed yourself. Fortunately for me there is a super hot cop that doesn’t mind coming to my rescue. Book 4: Liam Finding the bodies of dead runaway in a hole in the desert isn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen, but it does come close. These kids are young and their lives had promise. But now I’m here in Albuquerque to see if my boss’s kid might be one of the unfortunates. I’m hoping not because the CEO of JPI is not the type of man who will take the murder of his son lightly. Fortunately for me I’ve happened onto a woman who is up to her ears in the business of runaway teens and also happens to look like an exotic angel come to take my poor Irish butt to heaven. Book 5: Joshua Beth is probably one of the best things that’s ever happened to me. Of course that probably makes me an idiot for constantly telling her that we can’t be a couple. The problem is that I shouldn’t be sleeping with employees. And of course my kid ran away and I’ve been tapping all of my resources trying to find him. Now I’m in New Orleans with Beth following one last lead. Of course this also happens to bring my ex wife out to help. Between her theatrics, a sarcastic local cop, and a voodoo priestess who can’t keep her nose out of other people’s business, all I can hope for is a happy ending that doesn’t end with a permanent stay in one of the Big Easy’s famous crypts.
