In the Company of Snipers
This Military Romance series is a compilation of suspense-filled love stories of men and women tough enough to take on the world alone--and win. All ex-military snipers, some Marines, some Army Rangers or Navy SEALs, they've fought the good fight, served their country well, but all still feel the need to serve. Their final deployments might be over, but evil is still alive and well. There's still work to be done.
WARNING: These are not sweet romances, so if that's what you're looking for, stop reading right now. These are not always wholesome guys. Some are broken. They've been there, and some have seen or done too much. They've lost. They've won . But sometimes in the middle of serving, they've forgotten who they really are. So grab a cold one and put your boots up. Hunker down for a good read.
By the end of the telling, it's my hope you too will come to realize that
Love changes everything...

She’s determined to save the ancient legends… Despite the current state of the country, Tess sees beauty and grace in Afghanistan. She sees hope. Working as a foreign-aid worker by day and cat burglar by night, she’s stolen back from the despicable Hasim Nizari, the Taliban banker, what he stole from the museum in Kabul.

KY
|
TEAM Agent Ky Winchester survived a brutal encounter with a Taliban madman because of a woman with green eyes, an angel he thought he’d dreamed in the depths of torment. She came to him in that far off torture chamber, cloaked in the tender magic of hope, and he was willing to believe he might survive his nightmare. It’s too bad he never thought to ask her name. Too bad he’ll spend the rest of his days searching for her.
Whoever she is… FBI Agent Eden Stark is the Bureau’s number one and very top-secret psychic asset. While running from a different kind of madman, this one intent on mechanizing America’s military, turning them into controllable drones, Eden’s plane goes down in the frigid Canadian north. It’s very probable she won’t survive the night. Two meched-up FBI agents are already tracking her. Maybe wolves. Maybe someone else. |

Devil dogs weren’t meant to have hearts…

The one he left behind… She used to be a cheerleader... Now Meredith Flynn is in the jungles of Brazil beta testing the latest Active Camouflage System out of McCormack Industries. The last man she expected to see there was Hunter Christian. They used to be friends. They could've been lovers. Only now, his once gentle heart is as hard and unforgiving as the profane ink on his chest and arms. He wears his tattoos like defiant badges. Are all soldiers as cold as he is? She’ll never know. |
