I’m thrilled to announce that the next book in my Titanium Security Series, Singed, is out now for only $2.99!

This is Gage and Claire’s story, both of whom you met in Ignited. It’s a reunion/second chance at love story (I love those so much!) and it also touches on the very serious epidemic of PTSD/suicide among our returning veterans today.

She walked away from him once…
Struggling to live with her decision to walk away from the only man she
ever loved and watching helplessly while her brother succumbs to his
battle with severe PTSD, NSA analyst Claire Tierney’s life is at an all
time low. The final hit comes when she accesses classified information
at work that might get her fired. Instead, she’s assigned to a joint
taskforce charged with hunting down a Taliban assassin planning an
attack on American soil, and finally has something productive to focus
on. Until she meets the rest of the team and learns she’ll be working
with the last person on earth she wants further contact with; her ex.
She knows letting him go was the biggest mistake of her life, but just
when she thinks things can’t get any worse, new intel points to the
assassin’s intended target. Her.

This time he’s not letting her go…
As a former Special Forces Master Sergeant and second-in-command of his
Titanium Security team, Gage Wallace can handle anything, except being
forced to go through life without Claire. When she abruptly walked out
on him six months ago, his whole world caved in. It’s clear she’s still
determined to keep her distance, but when she’s named a possible target
of the very cell they’re trying to dismantle, Gage will stop at nothing
to ensure she’s safe. When tragedy destroys Claire’s defenses and the
explosive desire between them ignites once more, this time he’s not
letting her go. Too late they discover that the danger confronting them
is far greater than anyone ever realized, and it’s a race against time
to stop a terrorist from unleashing hell on them all.

Happy summer to you all! My boys have just two days of school left and then they’re home with me for the entire summer, so I’d best get all the work done I can today and tomorrow. I’m *this* close to being done with Gage’s story, then I’m moving on to Sean’s. Woot!

Ignited is off to a great start, and the lovely Cynthia Eden was kind enough to host me on her blog last week to talk about the book and the Titanium Security Series.

Today I’m giving away a digital copy of her hot new romantic suspense release, Mine To Take, to a commenter here on my blog. Tell me your favorite thing about romantic suspense to enter. This contest is open to Kindle and Nook readers, and will close at 5 pm EST this evening.

Sometimes you want someone so much…

Author’s
Note: MINE TO TAKE is a sexy romantic suspense novella–it contains
approximately 41,000 words. MINE TO TAKE is intended for adults. Sexy
situations and adult language will be found within the pages of this
story–please consider yourself warned.

A few weeks sooner than anticipated, my new Titanium Security Series launches today with book #1, Ignited! I’m super excited about this series, which will have at least four books, each featuring one of my ex-Spec Ops band of brothers heroes.

Book 2 (Singed) will be out in August, and book 3 late this year.

When her father is murdered by a Taliban cell in the tribal regions of
Pakistan, Khalia Patterson reluctantly steps into his shoes to carry on
the legacy of Fair Start Foundation, a non-profit group dedicated to
furthering the education of girls. There she meets Hunter Phillips, the
ex-SEAL and head of her Titanium security team, and quickly learns that
coming to Pakistan might prove to be a deadly decision.

Battling
demons of his own, Hunter grudgingly leads Khalia’s protective detail
as a favor to his boss. From their first meeting it’s clear she’s going
to be trouble, and that the cell that killed her father is hell bent on
taking her out as well. Keeping her alive is one of the toughest
assignments he’s ever faced, yet through one harrowing situation after
another she continually impresses him with her strength and inner
courage. Even though he fights his feelings for her, it’s a losing
battle. And when the job is over, he doesn’t know how he’ll let her go.

Happy reading!

Back Cover Blurb:

The Civil War has torn Brianna Taylor’s family apart and made her a
widow. Determined to ease the suffering of the wounded crowding the
Union hospitals and honor the memory of the man she loved, she embarks
on a career as a nurse. But then he arrives—a patient who makes her feel alive again in spite of her resolve to stay detached.

Captain Justin Thompson understands the cost of war all too well, yet
he felt compelled to fight for the Union his father died defending.
Wounded at Cold Harbor and left to die at a military hospital, he owes
his life to Brianna, who seems determined to guard her professional
boundaries despite his best efforts to breach them. Just as he’s winning
