Rescuing Harley (2016)

## Series

Delta Force Heroes, Book 3

Originally published on November 15, 2016

## Official Blurb

> Video game coder, Harley Kelso, thought a tandem skydive would help her make her latest game more realistic. Instead, it literally put her in the arms of the sexiest man she’s ever seen. Geeky to the core, Harley is the polar opposite of big and burly Beckett, but that doesn’t stop her from wanting to play more carnal games with the sexy soldier.
>
>

> When Beckett “Coach” Ralston offers to fill-in at a friend’s skydiving club, he doesn’t suspect he’ll meet a woman who will change his life—and he definitely doesn’t expect her to save it. But that’s exactly what happens when an accident mid-air forces Harley to land them both safely. She’s earned Coach’s complete gratitude, and even more, sexual interest…
>
>

> Until she disappears without a trace.
>
>

> With Harley missing, a happy ending might not be in the cards for the man who loves her—especially when he becomes the main suspect.

> Living in Southern California, Cheyenne was used to seeing hot military men as she went about her daily business. An anonymous encounter at the grocery store cemented her crush on one such man.

## Biography

### Career

Dude received his injury during his time with the team.

> Wolf remembered when Dude was almost blown up trying to secure a building. As their resident explosives expert, Dude found a booby trapped M14 mine duct taped to a door jamb during one of their missions. The mine was nicknamed "toe popper" because it was designed to main and slow down people entering a room, rather than kill them.
> Dude had immediately recognized the type of mine and had moved to re-insert the safety clip to disarm bit, but something had gone wrong and the bomb went off. The mine did what it was intended to do; resulting in Dude losing parts of three of his fingers on his left hand. He had extensive scarring as well as missing parts of this hand as a consequence of being too close to the mine when it exploded.

## Official Blurb

> Over the years, Storm North has witnessed two teams of Navy SEALs under his command find true love. He doesn’t expect the same for himself. He’s too old. Too jaded. Too set in his ways. Until a woman who’s been right in front of him for years manages to impress Storm in a way very few women—or men—ever have.
>
>

> Jane Hamilton knows it’s ridiculous to have a crush on the charismatic and handsome commander. She’s the divorced mother of a twenty-six-year-old daughter. Too old for crushes. Too old for a lot of things. There’s no chance she’ll ever catch the eye of a man like Storm North.
>
>

> Until someone delivers a bomb to the base.

>

> As the civilian contractor in charge of the mail room, Jane finds herself in the direct line of fire, enduring a series of events that leads to a budding relationship with the very man she’s been longing for. She couldn’t be happier, and Storm feels the same.
>
>

> The only one unhappy, in fact, is the thwarted bomber. Unhappy enough to do something drastic. Now Storm and Jane have to work together to save innocent sailors—and themselves—from an explosive situation threatening their happily ever after.

Protecting Remi (2024)

## Series

SEAL of Protection: Alliance book 1

Anticipated publication date: July 2, 2024

## Official Blurb

> **The start of a brand-new series featuring Navy SEALs who will do whatever it takes to keep their women safe.**
>
>
> Meeting a handsome, muscular, brave Navy SEAL when they both get stranded in the middle of the ocean after being purposely left by the captain of their privately hired boat wasn't how Remi Stephenson thought the day would go. The curvy, nerdy, cartoonist hadn't thought she'd earn more than a second glance from the SEAL, but their connection was undeniable. Even before they were rescued, they were making plans to get together when they returned to Southern California.
>
>
> Vincent "Kevlar" Hill had always wanted what his mentor and friend, Wolf Steel, had. A loving partner to share his life with. But his job as a Navy SEAL seemed to be a barrier he couldn't overcome. Until he found himself bobbing in the middle of the ocean with the most intriguing, sexy woman he'd ever met.
>
>
> It seemed as if fate had handed him a woman he could love for the rest of his days on a silver platter, especially since they essentially lived in the same city. But someone had arranged for them to be left in the water, miles from shore. And if Kevlar couldn't figure out who, neither he or Remi would get a chance to find out how perfect they could be together.
>
>
>
> Kevlar has to use the expertise of his teammates, a former SEAL named Tex, and all of Wolf's connections to find out not only who hated either him or Remi enough to try to get rid of them, but to keep their secret enemy from succeeding in ending not only their budding relationship, but their lives as well.

Scheduled for publication on November 15, 2022

## Official Blurb

> **She was lost once, but found. He's not willing to lose her twice.**
>
>

> Getting lost in the woods isn’t on Bristol Wingham’s agenda. Neither is being abandoned by her friends or getting injured. Luckily for her, she’s found by one of Fallport’s search and rescue members. She hadn’t planned on staying in the small town, but when her rescuer offers her a place to recuperate…she can’t resist.
>
>

> Cohen “Rocky” Watson has rescued his fair share of lost hikers, but there’s something about Bristol that makes him sit up and take notice. The world-renowned artist could definitely afford to go back home to Tennessee and pay someone to look after her until her broken leg heals, but the more time he spends around her, the more he wants her to stay.
>
>

> Slowly but surely, as Bristol heals, the former Navy SEAL and the artist find themselves falling in love. But someone is less than happy with the budding relationship. When Bristol disappears, it’ll take Rocky, his entire team, and every colorful, gossip-loving Fallport local to find her—and the clock is ticking.

## Official Blurb

> **She knew she wasn’t brave, but time was running out and she was the only one who could save his life.**​​​
>
>

> ​Kason “Benny” Sawyer was the last single man on his Navy SEAL team. He loved his teammates like brothers and respected each and every one of their women. They’d all been through hell and they deserved their current happiness. But seeing the love between his friends and their women made it tough to be the odd man out all the time.
>
>

> Jessyka Allen had a good life, until it wasn’t anymore. Finding herself in an impossible situation, with no noticeable way out, her job was an escape. Working at the small Bar and Grill put her in contact with some wonderful people, who Jess figured couldn’t ever understand what she was going through.
>
>

> Being a SEAL, Benny thought he knew the true meaning of teamwork and friendship. But Jess would show him that everything he thought he knew about sacrifice, trust, and love, paled in comparison to what she brought into his world.

## Note From the Author

> After the first few SEAL of Protection books came out, I started to get questions from the readers if "Jess," from *Aces Bar and Grill*, was going to get a story. I always smiled, proud that the little teasers of Jessyka I'd put in the other books had done their job...made readers interested in her story.
>
>

> I wanted to have a heroine who was disabled, but it didn't faze her. She didn't talk about it, it didn't slow her down...it was just a part of who she was and a normal part of her life.
>
>

> I've seen comments from readers who complained that each story in the series was the "same". I've tried really hard to make them different, but I *am* a fan of the damsel in distress...and while most of my heroines are tough women in their own right, they all need a hand in the end.
>
>

> With that in mind, I tried to make Jess's story a *bit* different. I hope you'll see what I mean when you read it.
>
>

> Thank you all for your support of the SEALs. From the messages I've received online, to the support from readers at book signings, to the day in and day out encouragement from my PA, Amy - thank you.
>
>

> As long as you, the reader, keeps on enjoying my stories, I'll keep writing them.
>
>

> Enjoy Jessyka and Benny's story.
>

## Biography

### Early Life

Logan, Blake, and Nathan Anderson were born to Ace and Rose Anderson. The fraternal triplets were abused by their mother throughout their childhood.

Growing up, Logan thought that Blake was often lost in the shuffle. Logan was the "tough one" and Nathan the "smart one," leaving Blake to be "just Blake." To compensate, Blake often picked fights with his brothers, bringing him negative attention from their mother. As the de facto leader of the triplets, Logan often stood up to protect his brothers from their mother's ire.

### Career

At age 18, Blake joined the Army and worked as an MP. After four years, he got out of the Army and worked for a private investigation company, with a side gig working security for concerts and large events. Blake also earned his associate's degree in computer science.

## Characteristics

* More cautious than his brothers
* Enjoys solving mysteries
* Is on a quest to discover why their mother was the way she was
* Lives in his childhood home (and site of his parents' deaths)
* Observant
* Drives a Mustang

## Physical Description

* Middle child of the triplets, by a matter of minutes
* Just over 6' tall
* Sandy-brown hair
* Muscular  (especially his arms and thighs)
* Strong jawline
* Broad shoulders
* Thin waist
* Large feet

## Relationships

### Romantic

* Alexis Grant Anderson
	+ Blake was initially hesitant to be around Alexis in any way, but much less romantically. After working together for several months, he started developing feelings for her. Blake noticed that Alexis was physically attracted to him, which made him look at her in a different light. He noticed, however, that Alexis feigned confidence when she discussed dating or being with men, so he decided to take it slow with her.
