Now five of the brothers have found love, smack dab in the middle of them trying to chase down a madman who’s out to destroy them and everything they love. As the only two left standing, Quinn and Devon decided that their job now was to protect their brothers and their women. Though they got a kick out of watching the by-play between their brothers and their new sisters, neither man believed that life was for him. Quinn, who has a special gift that he keeps hidden from everyone but his brothers, didn’t think he’d ever fall into the marriage trap. What woman would saddle herself with someone with his history? Then in the middle of the night he’s awakened by his senses to the threat of danger. Since none of his family is in imminent danger, he can find no reason for his ‘gift’ to show up now. When the feeling persists, and he follows his mind, it leads him to the woman who would win his heart with just one look at her.

Kelly knew that one day her daddy’s time in the Navy was going to come back to bite her in the rear end.

But that all changes when she’s snatched and dragged across three states. She doesn’t know what’s going on but she knows one thing, she’s not going down without a fight. When she sees the figure off in the distance on the beach as her kidnappers are dragging her into the fog, she makes a run for it, and right into the arms of her destiny. Devon’s getting a kick out of the way his brothers had all fallen. Then his new sisters started whispering behind their hands and keeping him in their sights and he knew they were plotting his demise. Thankfully he and his brothers were embroiled in a dangerous game of cat and mouse that helped take the heat off. After they rescue Quinn’s woman from traffickers on the beach, she’s overheard mentioning another grab the kidnappers have planned and they head off to California to rescue the son of another one of the commander’s old team mates. Only when they get there there’s a surprise waiting. A surprise that will turn Devon’s world upside down and make him question the life he’d had planned for himself. Ariel Samson is a woman of mystery. Raised in secret her whole life, she doesn’t show up in anyone’s database. The men and their friends who have banded together to help them take care of the threat are left scrambling to put the pieces of who she is together. Her sweet innocence reminds Devon of the mother he lost so long ago, but there was something else growing inside him, something that refused to be denied. But the deeper he digs into who she is he finds that there might be more than just his doubts that can keep them apart.

A Christmas Special


Lynda Chance - 2014
    Wait a few days until it goes for free! Logan and Lauren--A 2014 Holiday Special--A stand alone short story EXCERPT: With the contractor gone, Logan turned back to Lauren, who was avoiding eye contact with him as she wiped the dust from her hands onto the back of her blue jean shorts. Shorts, for god’s sake . . . which she’d probably put on that morning, not giving a single thought to the strange man she was about to let enter the house. This just kept getting worse and worse; Logan felt his temperature kick up another notch as disbelief at her actions held him in its grip. Did she have to have such a trusting nature? Would she never learn? Did she think the world was one huge, safe playground? Somewhere in the furthest recesses of his mind, the knowledge that he wasn’t giving her enough credit entered his head; his wife was incredibly brilliant and capable, but he refused to allow the thought to soothe him. He was angry, probably more angry than he’d ever been in his life, and the reason was because she had scared him half-to-freaking-death, and that was the only thing he could concentrate on at the moment. While he held himself still, trying to breathe evenly, trying to get his raging emotions under control, he ran his gaze over her, up and down, just to make sure she was all in one piece. Her tongue shot out to lick her lips and despite his anger, he felt a bolt of white-hot lightning pierce his guts. He could clearly see that she knew he was angry; her lips quivered before she spoke. “Hi, babe . . . you’re home early.” Ahhh…so his little wife was feeling a bit apprehensive at this point and well she should be. His lips flattened as he took a single step toward her. “Sure am. What ‘ya doing, hon?” he spoke the words way too innocuously, allowing his tone to ring with sarcasm. “N-nothing.” He took another two steps forward and she quickly stepped back, bumping the back of her head on the slanted beam behind her. He winced for her and came to a halt; no matter how furious he was, he didn’t want her to hurt herself. “It didn’t look like ‘nothing’, babe,” he replied slowly. “No, it’s just the . . . just the—” her words trailed off as she motioned behind her toward where she’d been on the floor only moments ago. Logan didn’t take his eyes from her to see what she might be indicating. “Just the what?” She shook her head, as if she had no idea what to say. He took a deep breath and blew it out. “Lauren. Come here.” She glanced away before looking back at him. “No, I’m good.” At her denial, he felt his insides electrify with aggression, but he attempted to keep a cool head, even as the heated blood roaring through his veins reminded him he was on a short leash. “Come here, baby.” She licked her lips. “Are you mad?” He took another slow, deep breath. Yeah, he was mad. “Why would I be mad?” he asked a little too sarcastically as he placed his hands on the rafter above his head, feeling his biceps bulge against his short-sleeve t-shirt.
