Now, imprisoned in an isolated compound, Mari has only chance for survival--escape. What she doesn't count on is Ken Norton, expert assassin and himself a Ghostwalker warrior, fighting to get behind the prison walls on a mission of his own--one that reaches into Mari's own past and the mysterious fate of her twin sister. . . and that will bind Ken and Mari in an intoxicating passion that raises the stakes on the deadliest game of survival they've ever played.

## Christine's Notes

I was reading descriptions of how people are tortured and it made me wonder what it would be like to have someone tortured and his face scarred. What would that man be like? He became scarred while being a hero. I realized he had a twin who wasn't as scarred and I wondered how he would feel about that. And then the big question was- who would love this scarred man? And the moment I knew, the book was born.

She is one of the original twelve girls “adopted” by Peter Whitney for his first experiment. She loves to sing.

## Early Life

The nurses and the other girls gave her the nickname she uses. Whitney disliked the nurses calling her Flame. At the age of four, she would use her nickname to get Whitney mad at her. She had cancer when she was little, and Whitney used it to experiment on her. She underwent chemotherapy numerous times. Dahlia Le Blanc and Lily Whitney often stayed with her while she was sick from the chemo and her hair would fall out. Due to the chemo, she became sterile.

When she contemplated escaping, she told Lily. Lily betrayed Flame’s trust by telling Whitney, who caught her. The three men that were in charge of taking her back to the underground lab took her to a room after one of them slapped Flame three times. Due to how upset she was over being caught and her things taken, Flame accidentally sent out a low frequency sound that caused two of the men to collapse and the one holding her still by her hair to burst and die, covering her in his  blood and organs. Whitney left them in the room with her for hours and she had to beg him to get rid of them.

From that time, she didn’t tell Lily anything and wouldn’t spend as much time near her. She unconsciously tied the experience of the men dying with what Lily did to save her life and Whitney’s inhuman ways. She managed to escape the lab, knowing the cancer Whitney always put in remission but never got rid of could return and kill her.

## Night Game

She spends much of her time looking for the other women from the original experiment or messing with Whitney’s computers. She told Raoul Fontenot of her childhood trauma and was able to finally forgive Lily for saving her life as a child and forgive Raoul for saving her life as an adult. She could now place all blame solely on Whitney’s shoulders, even if she still feels slightly guilty for her part in the three men dying.

## Lightning Game

Jonquille saved her from being raped when Flame was nine, killing Vern before he could do anything. Later, Jonquille secretly healed Flame as much as she could, though it wasn't enough to remove the cancer in her.

## Trivia

* Though she wasn’t mentioned by name in *Street Game*, she was described.
Art Patterson

He worked under Theodore Ranier. He believed he should have been part of the GhostWalker program. He didn’t feel bad for the girls Peter Whitney experimented on, believing they would have just ended up on the streets and that they had it good in the compounds. However, he felt Whitney tainted the program when the news got out. He didn’t like sacrificing Sam Johnson, but will do it because Sheila Benet, his bed mate, asked him to and gave him a lot of money. He was killed by Azami Yoshiie.

The man wasn’t a murderer but James made him into one by whispering to him. He carved a piece for each player in illegal ivory for them to leave at each scene so they know who killed the target. He is OCD about everything, and having Tommy on one of the teams upsets him.

When Tansy Meadows found him, he was intrigued, but knew he would have to kill her. Believing he drew her into her own nightmare, he nearly drowned her in a pool of blood before some GhostWalkers threw him out.

Mind Game

## Synopsis

Possessed of an extraordinary telekinetic gift, Dahlia Le Blanc has spent her life isolated from other people. And just when she thinks she's finally achieved some semblance of peace, her well-orchestrated world comes crashing down...

For a reason she cannot guess, she has become the target of deadly assassins. Suddenly no place is safe -- not even the secret refuge she's established long ago. Now she must rely on Nicolas Trevane -- a dangerous warrior sent to track her down and protect her. Together they generate a scorching heat Dahlia never imagined was possible. But can she trust this man with her secrets -- especially when some people would kill to get their hands on them?

## Christine's Notes

Set in the steamy Louisiana bayou, Nicolas Travane, a GhostWalker, approaches the sanitarium where Dahlia Le Blanc has spent most of her life. He walks into a gun battle and if forced to go on the run with Dahlia. With Dahlia's tremendous psychic powers and terrible drawbacks, he can only hope he unravels the mysteries before it's too late for both of them.

My second thriller is a mixture of romance, suspense and paranormal. I really enjoy writing these books. It allows me to use a very contemporary setting, mix in my love of paranormal, and blend a satisfying romance with action!

At age nine, he came out of the house to see his father beating Ken after having killed their mother. Ken’s arms were broken. Jack attacked and killed his father, protecting Ken, who refused to leave. They both made a pact with each other that they would never be like their father, which was one of their greatest fears.

After that, they were bounced between foster homes. They would cause problems and be sent back to the state home. If they were broken up, they would run away and find each other. It wasn’t until Miss Judith came into their lives did they find a home. Despite their reputation and history, she took them in. They loved her dearly, but when they joined the service, the three of them put on an act where there was an argument and Miss Judith disowned the boys. But all of them knew it was for her protection.

Lightning Game

This is the seventeenth book in the series. It shows how Jonquille and Rubin Campo meet face-to-face for the first time.

## Synopsis

GhostWalker Rubin Campo's rough upbringing made him into the man he is today: strong, steadfast, and wary of outsiders. When he and his brother return to their family's homestead in the Appalachian Mountains, he can immediately sense that a stranger has taken up residence in their cabin &mdash a woman who just happens to be a GhostWalker too.

Jonquille is deceptively delicate, but clearly a fighter. She also doesn't seem to care that Rubin could kill her where she stands. She sought him out, wanting to connect on their shared interest in electrical charges. One of the first failed GhostWalker experiments, Jonquille can produce lightning with her body, but she can't control it.

Their connection is magnetic, their abilities in sync. Rubin knows she's his match, the answer to a lifetime of pain and intense loneliness. But Jonquille came to him with hidden intentions, ones that threaten to destroy their bond before it can truly begin....

## Christine's Notes

The research for this book was so fascinating to me. I learned so much about lightning; Ball Lightning, strategies different countries use to weaponize lightning and how they try to harness its power. I learned how they try to divert its destructive power away from crops and cities.

I also learned a great deal about the Appalachian Mountains and its people. It's such a vast and beautiful place.

My hero, Rubin, is such an extraordinary mix of gentleman and predator. And the hero is strong and full of heart.

This book is so full of twists and surprises that it even shocked me! I have no doubt it is going to shock my readers as well.

Jess's song to Saber

Jess Calhoun sang this song to Saber Wynter, who he wrote it for.

She moves like an artist, graceful and free
Like the paint on a canvas that flows easily
Oh, but those haunting eyes
They make me realize
The depths of my emotions stirring inside
She's the woman I dream of
A child at play
Crusading for others, in her own special way
When I think that it's over, it's only began
When I look in her eyes...
Oh, but those haunting eyes
They make me realize
The depths of my emotions stirring inside
Like the flight of the butterfly in gentle breeze
Her delicate features are so clear to see
She's a woman, a warrior who never gives up
Oh, but my elusive butterfly
She makes me realize
The depths of my emotions stirring inside

## Synopsis

Games should be fun, but for two expert teams across the country, they're murder -- because the winning team is the one that gets the most kills. The participants in this violent challenge rumored to be GhostWalkers. And Kadan Montague isn't happy about it.

Kadan is a GhostWalker and he's determined to clear the GhostWalker name of the rumors. To do it, he's going to need the help of psychic Tansy Meadows. But as soon as he sees her, he knows his mission will be more complicated than he imagined -- and the "murder game" may not be at all what it seems.

## Christine's Notes

*Murder Game* was a wonderful book to write. My hero continually surprised me. He was a very strong character and never let me get off track when I was writing his story. The moment I tried to lead him in a direction, he refused to go. I should have known, he took so long to speak to me. My heroine is a strong woman who needed to be very understanding with her man. I think she was really born for him. I loved both of them so much and I know this will remain one of my all time favorites.

Edward Freeman

Edward was married to Violet Smythe.

## Deadly Game

Marigold Smith had joined the group of Peter Whitney’s enhanced soldiers to guard Ed and Violet. She wanted to talk to him to free herself and the other women from Whitney’s breeding program. He doesn’t like Whitney, but to get himself placed as a vice president candidate, he was bait to lure Jack Norton to the Congo before Ken Norton. Jack and Ken do not trust him. When he visited the facility where Mari and the women were held, he was shot in the head.

## Predatory Game

He is in a coma. The recording Louise Charter brought in was badly damaged, but it clearly had Ed’s voice on it, along with an unknown man. At the end, the vice president walked into the room. Ed, the unknown man, and possibly the vice president are working on wiping out the GhostWalkers, even Ed’s wife.

## Trivia

* Though not mentioned by name or occupation, Ed was one of the civilians rescued in *Night Game* and remembered in *Conspiracy Game*.
Jerry Lannis

He was injured on a mission in the Afghanistan mountains. His arm and leg were badly injured. He survived the injuries but lost the arm and leg. His wife, Denise Lannis pampers him and his daughter thinks his prosthetics look cool. She wants one of her own. They are renting a home to get used to the humidity before moving to New Orleans.
Larry

Nonny Fontenot was gathering herbs when Larry found her. He patted her down and, when she kicked him in the groin, he pushed her to the ground. Wyatt Fontenot came and taught him a lesson in manners. Pepper escaped that same night and hurt his dog. He was glad that the dog wouldn’t die. Later, looking for Pepper and Ginger Fontenot, he came to apologize to Nonny.
Cesar Lopez

While he had all of his family together with the extra guards in place, the Team 3 launched a psychological assault on him. They knocked everyone out and procured all their IDs from them as proof they could have killed everyone, showing that he was just as vulnerable as everyone else. Because of this, he retracted the bounty on Rose Patterson, saying it was a mistake.
Joy Chaisson

She is twenty-two and a friend to the Fontenots.

## Night Game

She went missing, causing Gator, Wyatt Fontenot, Ian McGillicuddy, and Flame to look for her. She had been engaged with James Parsons. James took her before his parents, who said she wasn’t good enough for him to marry in front of her and embarrass her. She broke it off with him after that. She believed she was meeting with Emanuel Parsons, but James and his chauffeur, Carl Raines, were in the car instead. James, Carl, and Vicq Corneaux took turns using her and were getting her used to being hooked on drugs as they filmed everything. Kurt Sanders would direct and watch the others as it all took place. But she was rescued and, though her life would be forever changed, Flame encouraged her to live her life anyway, making each day count.

## Viper Game

Joy had only used Wyatt. When he asked why she was leaving with another man after everything, she said not so nice things about him. She ran off with the man to get out of the bayou. She wasn’t happy that Wyatt, who could have gotten her out, wanted to stay in the swamp.

## Spider Game

She didn’t like Wyatt in school, after he returned to the bayou, or after her rescue. Though she acted polite and respectful, she didn’t like Nonny Fontenot.
Adam Cox

He used to work for Whitney as one of Bellisia’s handler. He also paired Adam with Bellisia, but because Whitney doesn’t understand emotion, his feelings never went beyond caring for her as a sister. He and Gerald Perkins were infected and told to bring Bellisia back. However, they saw she was happy and snuck onto the crew building her house. They were going to make it their final gift to her. But Rubin was able to save them and they stopped working for Whitney, choosing to stay and help Team 4.
Night Game

This is the third book in the series. It shows how the common sense of right and wrong brought Iris "Flame" Johnson and Raoul "Gator" Fontenot together.

## Synopsis

Gator Fontenot of the Special Forces paranormal squad can't refuse an urgent request to save the elusive Iris Johnson, a victim of the same horrific experiments that warped Gator. Now unleashed, she's a flame-haired weapon of unimaginable destructive powers, a walking time bomb bent on revenge in the sultry bayous of New Orleans, and hunted by a shadowy assassin. It's Gator's job to reel Iris in. But can two people haunted by violent betrayals trust the passion that soon ignites between them? Or is one of them just playing another seductive and deadly night game?

## Christine's Notes

Gator has gone back to his home in the Louisiana bayou in the hopes of finding the elusive "Flame". Iris "Flame" is a traveler, a ghost always on the move, impossible to pin down. He's heard she might be in the area after reading about a hidden sanitarium that burned to the ground and the only occupant's escape. Unfortunately Flame has a few bad habits and one of them is seeking justice for those she believes deserve it and are operating outside the law. The smooth talking lady's man with his Cajun drawl and easy going manner finds himself in hot water and more steam than a man should have to handle in this thriller.

He is the eldest of four brothers.

## Early Life

His parents died in a flood when he and his brothers were little. His grandmother, Nonny Fontenot, raised them out in the bayou. They never knew they were poor and often got into fights when other children made fun of their clothes. This didn’t change as they grew up, but he began to charm the ladies around him. Though Nonny insisted that Raoul get an education, Raoul loved being out in the bayou and would work to help pay bills. He would leave the money on Nonny’s dresser. However, when his brothers tried to follow his example, he would beat them up and make them go to school.

He went into the service after he graduated, and then joined Team 1 when Peter Whitney went looking for volunteers. His abilities were strong regarding sound. He accidentally sent out a low frequency that not only took out the enemy, but some civilians and a few of the men he was working with. He still carries that guilt, but he doesn’t let it hold him back from doing his duty or living his life. He accepted that it was due to his inexperience after undergoing the psychic enhancements.

## Night Game

When a family friend, Joy Chaisson, went missing, he decided he would go looking for her at the behest of his grandmother. Lily Whitney asked him to look for Flame while back home. Raoul didn’t think, even with Flame enjoying singing in the same kinds of clubs Joy did, he would be likely to find her. But he did and he was instantly lost in her. Knowing she was hunted and her cancer had returned, he did what was necessary to save her life, risking their relationship. After hearing what she had done as a child, he revealed what he had done as an adult, helping her to come to the realization that she wasn’t responsible for what she did anymore than him and giving her the ability to forgive him and Lily for saving her life out of love for her.

## Viper Game

He is out of the country. He gave Nonny a gun for her birthday.
Predatory Game

This is the sixth book in the series. This is how Saber Wynter and Jess Calhoun learned to accept their relationship.

## Synopsis

Saber Wynter is running from her past when she meets Jess Calhoun, an ex-Navy SEAL who is physically and emotionally compromised by his own mysterious and violent history as a GhostWalker. What Jess senses in Saber is a kindred spirit, a lost soul desperate for sanctuary. He offers her a home, job, and a haven where she can safely reveal the secrets that shadow her. But danger follows her, too. Now, the riddles of both their pasts are about to collide, shattering the promise of their future with the ultimate betrayal.

## Christine's Notes

After being tortured, his legs smashed beyond repair, former Navy SEAL and GhostWalker, Jess Calhoun, retreats to his home town of Sheridan, Wyoming where he owns the local radio station. He appears to be making a new life for himself, writing songs and living quietly. He does his physical therapy and looks innocent and gentle in his wheel chair.

Saber Winter answers an ad for the radio station, the perfect night job for someone on the run. She gets a lucky break renting the upstairs of radio station owner Jess Calhoun's, home where she can work also as a part time housekeeper. He spends most of his time locked in his private, off-limits office or doing physical therapy. She's small and fragile looking, almost child-like and appears in need of protection.

Who would ever suspect that two deadly predators live side by side in the same house?
