Dan Daly - 2015
    The boats patrolled the coast and rivers of South Vietnam, with the average age of the crew being twenty-four. Their days consisted of deadly combat, intense lightning firefights, storms and many hidden dangers.This action-packed story of combat written by Dan Daly, a Vietnam combat veteran who was the Officer in Charge of PCF 76 makes you part of the Swift Boat crew. The six man crew of PCF 76 were volunteers from all over the United States, eager to serve their country in a highly unique type of duty not seen since the PT boats of WWII. This inexperienced and disparate group of men would meld into a combat team - a team that formed an unbreakable, lifelong bond.After training they were plunged into a 12 month tour of duty. Combat took place in the closest confines imaginable, where the enemy were hidden behind a passing sand dune or a single sniper could be concealed in an onshore bunker, mines might be submerged at every fork in the river. The enemy was all around you, hiding, waiting, while your fifty-foot Swift Boat works its way upriver. In many cases the rivers became so narrow there was barely room to maneuver or turn around. The only way out might be into a deadly ambush. Humor and a touch of romance relieve the tension in this thrilling ride with America's finest.

Blaze


Renee Rose - 2018

Except for the captain. They call him Blaze and he's got a streak of controlling cop for sure. It's a trait that unfortunately makes my knees go weak in a boss. Especially a beefy fire captain boss. Blaze: Having smoking hot Lia Burke in my firehouse might be the death of me. I can't stand the other guys ogling her. They are not exactly PC. It's locker room talk around here twenty-four seven. I swear I'm going to have a sexual harassment claim on my hands in less than a month. And I'll probably be the guy who crosses the line first. Note: This stand-alone steamy romance contains a dominant, dirty talking fireman, a fiery new recruit and enough kink to start a three alarm fire.
