DIAMOND SECURITY SERVICES
Lexie Ray - 2017
Free with Kindle Unlimited... Enjoy 5 military romance books in this discounted bundle. Currently FREE with the Kindle Unlimited Program or $0.99. All full length books. No cliffies! DEVON Devon Flint doesn’t believe in luck. Why should he? After a childhood full of abuse and a stint in the army that only added to his scars, he’s now living on street corners and preemptively balling up his fists when anybody approaches him, on the off chance that they may try to jump him. Even after Marshall Hagan unexpectedly invites Devon to work for Diamond Security Services, a package deal that includes all the sandwiches Devon can stuff in, and a comfortable couch to sleep on, to boot, Devon refuses to give fate a chance. But when Helena Thurman walks in and Devon is assigned to guard her, he’s forced to start seeing things in a different light. Maybe luck doesn’t exist. But it’s suddenly possible that love just might. LEE When Phoebe Mack and her mother Vanessa stumble into Diamond Security Services, Lee Armstead isn’t quite sure what to make of the frantic pair. When he hears their story about Phoebe’s chronic sleepwalking, and Vanessa’s insistence that he provide bodyguard services of a very unique kind—protect Phoebe against her sleeping self—Lee is intrigued enough that he takes the job. The last thing he expects is to fall for his client, or to discover that a decades-old, ultra-dark family secret is lurking in the shadows of her dreams. MATEO Years ago, Mateo Ortiz’s wife broke his heart while he was overseas, serving in the Middle East with his brothers in arms. Fast forward to the present day and Mat has made a life for himself with those same adopted brothers, working at Diamond Security. That carefully reconstructed life comes crashing down around his ears when he receives news that his estranged wife has been murdered. The investigation into her killing will take Mat to the darkest places within himself and will also open up the possibility of a new life, a new love, and a new hope—if he can allow himself to trust again. CAL Cal Tiller isn’t expecting to catch a glimpse of his childhood on a news broadcast. It’s surprise enough when Anya Birch, his high school sweetheart, flashes across the screen. When the reporter announces that Anya is in jail for murder … that’s something so implausible that Cal can’t let it stand. With Diamond Security’s full support, Cal flies to his hometown in Montana and sets about trying to clear Anya’s good name. The only problem is, Anya doesn’t seem to want to plead anything but guilty. MARSHALL For years, Marshall has tried to atone for his terrible mistake in Iraq. The secret has haunted his dreams, driving him to seek forgiveness both by establishing Diamond Security Investigations and by visiting the families of each of his accidental victims, paying out endless financial and emotional restitution. He’s almost come to believe that the past is truly behind him, when it suddenly walks right up to Diamond’s offices and puts a literal torch to all the work Marshall and his Army brothers have done. As they work together to rebuild from the ashes, Marshall is forced to confront the specter of his sins not only to finally cleanse his conscience once and for all, but to protect the people he loves—and one woman in particular, who is inadvertently caught in his nemesis’s cruel crosshairs.
BLAZE: A 5-Books Firefighter Romance Series
Lola Silverman - 2017
5 books and NO cliffies! Book 1: Light It Up Being a firefighter in Colfax means you drive around in a big red fire engine, put out a few kitchen fires, wink at hot chicks, and pray to Mother Nature that she doesn’t send a bolt of lightning to start a forest fire. One good fire like that could wipe the town off the map for eternity. So when a house fire comes along, we firefighters take things seriously. Add in a damsel in distress and I will eagerly run into a burning building, especially when the damsel happens to be one Tamsyn Albright. Book 2: Set it Off I don’t know what’s going on in this town. Businesses are burning. There are weird car wrecks all over town, and Delilah Vasquez just came sprinting out of the woods screaming about killer coyotes. Now normally I’d just consider her an irrational female and be done with it. But there is nothing irrational about Delilah. She’s hard as nails and about the most attractive woman in town. So not only do her claims get my attention, but I go check them out. That just seems to stir the pot and send bad luck in my direction. Book 3: Up in Smoke I don’t usually believe in bad luck, but then I’ve never had to deal with the kind of crap that Felicity Palmer has. The girl is like a magnet for trouble. And when an EMT can say he met a girl by responding to her car accident that’s a pretty big deal. Not only does the poor woman have a stalker, she’s also the third man out in one of those weird girl relationships where her best friends are also her worst enemies. Book 4: Into the Flames I’ve managed to get through the last few years since my divorce by living pretty much like a monk. For a guy who used to be considered the womanizer of Colfax, that’s a pretty big switch. Let’s just say I’ve realized that my behavior has a cost. And I was doing fine until Kiana came storming into my office a few months back to complain that we hadn’t caught the arsonist yet. Ever since then she’s like an itch I would love to scratch. Book 5: Burn it Down Anyone who looks at me thinks my life is charmed. I’m a good looking guy with a great job at the fire department. I get to rescue damsels in distress and look like the town hero on a pretty regular basis. But all of that is just the outside. Nobody sees what’s going on in the background. They don’t see that my parents love my older brother to a fault. Nobody realizes that my older brother just might be a sociopath who is trying to destroy my life.
Travers Security
Evie Nichole - 2017
FIVE full-length books. Guaranteed NO CLIFFHANGERS. A ranger, two navy seals, an idealistic young man and a man who grew right out of the mountains. These mountain men might not be perfect, but they get the job done… Book 1 Sadie Bradshaw smiles as hot celebrity Peter Dailey flirts with her. He's too clean and neat for her tastes though, not unlike Marcus Black who is a man's man in every sense of the word. She and the former navy-SEAL-turned-security-agent could have had a great thing going for them, except for that one night that ruined everything. But one hard, bloody knock to the back of the head later, Sadie realizes that she has to rely on Marcus to keep her safe from a deranged fan who will stop at nothing to lock her object of affection - even if it means eliminating the competition. Book 2 It all started on a cold, rainy day for Nate Colvin and Angelina Masters - and not under the best of circumstances either. There is no denying the chemistry between the two, despite all the miserable water and muddy roads getting in the way. But when a crazed serial killer comes into the sleepy town of Blossom Hill to track his prey, both Nate and Angelina must find a way to guard each other's back lest they become the latest victims of the Rainy Day Slasher. Book 3 Rosa always had a weird effect on Grant. He thought he could take it nice and slow in their sleepy town of Blossom Hill, where gossip reigns supreme - except Rosa's mysterious past finally caught up to her. Now both Grant and Rosa need to escape the clutches of a crime lord hell-bent on claiming what is his, even if it means stepping over the bodies of all who gets in his way. Book 4 Constantly dodging the paparazzi, pressure to churn out that next big hit, always putting a show for the fans - Joy Casey just wanted to get away from it all. That's why she went incognito to rest and recharge in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. It helps that her new next-door neighbor, Billy, is as hot as they come. Billy is more than meets the eye, though, and he might be all that stands between her and a deranged animal looking for more challenging prey to play with. Book 5 Cade Travers can't believe it: he's a father! The bad news, however, is that his son was stolen from him even before he knew he had a son. Now he's torn between pursuing his lost child and keeping his men safe in one of their most dangerous assignments. His decisions will either save him and the people he calls family - or damn them all together when a far-reaching drug lord sets them firmly in his sights.

Free Fish Friday: Introducing Slacker Mills
Lee Stone - 2014
A vagabond fisherman extraordinaire, the self-indulgent Slacker has just two goals in life. The first is to spend every conscious hour doing only what he loves – hooking and battling big game fish on the ocean by day and hooking up with bar stool sirens at night. The second goal is to avoid any responsibilities that might get in the way of achieving the first. His persistent search for the ultimate angling experience takes him from one ocean paradise to another, where he inevitably becomes entangled in a mystery adventure. His story begins in Key West, Florida, where the 37-year-old Slacker believed he had finally found the ideal life and a lasting home. With his mounted trophies covering the walls of the famous Rusty Hook tavern, he was acclaimed as the best saltwater angler around and never had to pay for a beer. Because every Friday night at the tavern was celebrated with a complimentary banquet of his catch, he also was recognized as a benevolent hero. Through wandering eyes of vacationing ladies, he was typically viewed as "The Catch of the Night." Slacker’s dream lifestyle was attributable to the influence of his best friend and benefactor Jerry Porter, who had landed in Key West aboard his yacht five years earlier. Due to a unique talent for engaging people to talk about themselves while revealing nothing about himself, Jerry quickly bonded with everyone around him. Using those bonds as foundations, he tried to build what he viewed as better and more successful people ... and Slacker was his pet project. The transformation of the Rusty Hook from a local fishermen’s haunt to a Key West landmark was Jerry's crowning achievement. No one had inquired or even speculated much about Jerry Porter’s personal history prior to his arrival in Key West; all were content to revel in his presence. However, when Porter is the victim of a violent death, the traditionally peaceful community is shocked by revelations that there may be a killer in their midst and that perhaps not all of Porter's deeds were worthy of celebration. The charter fishing industry had been losing major clients and perhaps Jerry was the reason for it. A criminal investigation turns up information that damages dozens of families, fractures friendships, and leads to unwelcome national publicity for a town that relies on tourism to fuel the local economy. The police also single out Slacker as the prime suspect, destroying his treasured image among most Islanders, even his closest friends. Exactly who was the mysterious Jerry Porter? How and why did he meet such a violent end? Slacker Mills discovers the answers, and begins to discover himself, in Free Fish Friday.
