Candle Sutton - 2015
Running a group home for at-risk kids is challenging enough, but everything changes when he witnesses a murder. And not just any murder. A serial killer has stalked the city for weeks and Paul is the only witness. The press haunts his every move, broadcasting his identity to the world, ensuring the killer not only knows who he is, but where to find him. The media spotlight could destroy the life he's so carefully constructed, because the killer isn't the only one hiding a secret. Not even the woman he loves knows the truth about his past. His secret is between him and God, and Paul's determined to keep it that way. US Marshal Milana Tanner is as tough as she is stubborn. The threat to Paul is real and experience has demonstrated the dire consequences of the wrong decision. In spite of her best efforts, Paul refuses all offers of protection. Between professional threats and the dangers facing Paul, she's spread thin, but she won't give up - or back down - until she knows Paul is safe... even if it requires putting herself in harm's way. As the killer escalates and circles closer, Paul and Milana fight to shield the people around them from a man with nothing to lose. Together, they'll do anything, and risk everything, to keep the children in Paul's care safe. When the killer strikes again, Paul goes after him personally. Stopping the killer will shake his faith in God and force him to confront his dark past. Will he be forced to sacrifice everything he holds dear to protect the people he loves most?

Jump Wings And Secrets
Raymond Hunter Pyle - 2015
For some it was a war with loneliness, boredom, and endless fatigue. For others it was a war with unyielding jungle, mountains, and disease. For still others it was a war with terror and death and all of the above. And then there was the secret war fought mostly by Army Special Forces and Navy Seals. For these secret warriors, the war was seldom boring and always dangerous. The mountains and jungles of Laos and Cambodia were their playground, and disease, terror, and death stalked them on every mission. Sergeant First Class Ed Potter, returning for his third tour in-country with the 101st Airborne, was on a short tour, just six months this time. While in the states, he had passed the Special Forces selection battery and did well in all phases of the SF assessment course. He expected orders to the SF Q course in six months. In the meantime he expected to be placed in a platoon sergeant’s job with the 101st at Camp Eagle or Camp Evans. His first surprise came when the replacement battalion sent him for an interview with a Special Forces Major who asked him if he would be interested in working for MACV-SOG and training and leading an airmobile quick reaction force to support Special Forces recon teams operating out of FOB1 at Phu Bai. His second surprise came when the major wouldn’t tell him what MACV-SOG, or the FOB was, did, or where they operated until after he volunteered and signed a confidentiality agreement. Ed jumped at the chance to work with the Special Forces instead of waiting out his time in a regular airborne infantry unit. He wouldn’t be Special Forces, but he would be working for them with the potential to share in part of their missions and training. What could be better for an NCO waiting to attend the Special Forces Qualification Course at Fort Bragg? An hour after the interview, Ed found himself on a helicopter heading for headquarters 5th Special Forces at Nha Trang and the beginning of a short tour that would seem longer and more dangerous than anything he had ever experienced.
