Series Blurb: 

Northstar Security Firm is an elite private security agency whose mission statement: GUIDED BY THE TRUTH, is the guiding principle to provide justice for those who have been wronged. 

Founded by former CIA agents Byron O’Neal, Katherine O’Neal, and Sean Malone, Northstar Security has a ninety-nine percent success rate. That one percent is a still open case involving Katherine’s murder and Sean Malone’s career-ending gunshot wound. Nothing is a hundred percent guaranteed, and angst over one unsolved case doesn’t stop good men and women from fulfilling their duty.

Dead Reckoning

About the Book: 
Egan Maddox isn’t sure he’s the right man for the job when Northstar director, Byron O’Neal, asks him to find his missing daughter and protect her from an unknown danger. Egan’s never shaken off his attraction to Kellee O’Neal and hiding away with her, could be more than trouble than this former Navy SEAL can handle. Kellee is lost, with no memory, and believes someone wants to hurt her. When Egan appears and seems to know her, he convinces her she’ll be safe with him. As her memories resurface, she turns to Egan for comfort, and her youthful crush transforms into a womanly passion she can’t deny. With the Russian Mafia closing in, Kellee learns her entire life has been a lie. How can her love for Egan be enough to help her navigate the murky waters of her past and prove that her heritage doesn’t matter as much as the woman she’s become?

Excerpt:  

Share a bed with Egan? After what had just happened? Could she do it? Had they done it before?  

“I’m sleeping on the floor,” he said, as though sensing her thoughts. 

She whirled around. “I wasn’t…I was wondering if we…” Her cheeks grew hot. How did she ask that question?  

The corner of his mouth twitched. “No. We haven’t.”  

“Oh.” That settled the question about being lovers. Disappointment gnawed at her. She wasn’t his student anymore. She was a grown woman, with mature needs and desires. “I’m perfectly fine if you want to sleep on the bed with me.” At least she thought she was. “Besides, you’ll be uncomfortable, and might kink your neck, or worse.” 

He shrugged off her concern. “Comfort isn’t the issue.” 

“Then what is?” 

 “Let’s just say I don’t need the distraction.”  

Her? A distraction? His admission ignited a flare of hope. Without a second thought, she walked over to him, stood on her toes and planted a kiss on the same cheek she’d slapped earlier. His scruffy whiskers grazed her lips, searing a new memory into her brain. 

“What was that for?” Frustration edged his voice. 

“For slapping you. You didn’t deserve it. You were doing your job.” She returned to the bed and pulled down the covers, watching him out of the corner of her eye.  

Egan stood rooted to the carpet for a moment. Then he strode decisively into the bathroom.  

She smiled when she heard him swear just before slamming the door.

Breaking the Honor Code by Stanalei Fletcher (release day spotlight)

I am thrilled to showcase the newest addition to Stanalei Fletcher's delicious 'Northstar Security' series, Breaking the Honor Code, which releases today!

Stanalei is one of the authors I have the pleasure of working with at The Wild Rose Press, and in my (not so humble) opinion, the series just keeps getting better and better. This story definitely appealed to the geek in me!










Blurb:  Reformed playboy Sloan Cartland doesn’t work that hard to live down his reputation, especially when it gives him an advantage as Northstar’s profiler. But when the company’s network is hacked, he puts on his game face and joins forces with the firm’s cyber queen, Allison Richards, to track down the cyberterrorist.

Sparks fly between the total opposites as Sloan moves past Allison’s geeky-persona. The passion is unexpected but pleasurable, until Sloan receives evidence that implicates Allison as the hacker, compelling him to question her loyalty and his feelings.

Allison must choose between her heart and honor and find a way to use her formidable skills to turn the tables on her enemies before Sloan decides she’s a traitor.


Excerpt:


Taking the opportunity to inspect her, Kane realized she wasn’t an old lady at all. The full skirt of her black cocktail dress draped over her knees and gave the illusion of being demure. But with her hands pulled behind her back, the outline of small breasts jutted temptingly forward, and the deeply scooped neckline rising from a high waistline revealed an expanse of ivory skin. Toned shoulders peeked through the sheer fluttery sleeves that barely reached her elbows. Her eyes seemed too large in the unlined smoothness of her heart-shaped face. He tried to put her appearance in context with his first impression. The silvery-white hair had thrown him off. There was no way she was the age her hair color proclaimed.

Proving Ground by Stanalei Fletcher (spotlight)

It is my pleasure to have the talented Stanalei Fletcher visiting my blog today.  I am thrilled to be able to share both a guest post and to feature the first story in her Northstar Security series, as I have the honor of being her editor and I am enjoying the romantic suspense tales that are flowing from her fertile imagination!


Where Did the Idea For Northstar Security Firm Come From?
by Stanalei Fletcher

 
It’s no secret that my all-time favorite author is Alistair MacLean. From the moment I watched The Guns of Navarone with Gregory Peck, I was hooked. I was a kid, so yeah, I’m dating myself. That movie hooked me on war movies for a lot of years. And then one day, in my older brother’s stash of paperbacks, I found a book by Alistair MacLean-The Way to Dusty Death. While other girls my age, (junior high), were reading romance or mysterious, I was gobbling up stories about alpha heroes and espionage. And guess what Mr. MacLean did? He threw in a dash of romance. Not much, but enough for me to want a bit more. Thus was born my desire to write a techno-thriller romance. I can’t claim to have accomplished the techno-thriller part, but I hope that readers do enjoy the rush of a fast-pace action story with a bit of romance to keep the character’s motivations strong. 

Northstar Security Firm was conceived with that goal in mind. An elite private security agency whose mission is to bring truth to the wronged and closure to those who need justice, Northstar Security agents search out wrong-doers, even at the risk of own lives. Founded by former CIA agents (retired), Northstar Security has a ninety-nine percent success record of closing every case. The one percent is a still open case involving co-founder Byron O’Neal’s wife’s murder and Sean Malone’s career-ending gunshot wound. But that one case doesn’t stop these men from helping others when the call comes in. Nothing is a hundred percent guaranteed, and angst over an unsolved case doesn’t keep good men and women from fulfilling their duty. Just like Mr. MacLean’s characters do in his stories.

You can meet Bryon O’Neal and Sean Malone in the first book of my Northstar Security series, Proving Ground. For more information, visit my website.





Northstar Security Series, #1

Tag Line:
Her only hope of saving the town, maybe even the country, is pinned on the man who broke her heart.


Blurb:
Screw-ups don’t get second chances. That’s what Caitlin Malone believes when she returns to Oregon after failing her first Northstar Security assignment. When she inadvertently stumbles across a plot to steal deadly pathogens from the bio-lab near her hometown, she sees a chance at redemption.

USDA Forest Ranger, John ‘Mac’ MacAlistair, doesn’t want to babysit the motorcycle club holding their annual rally in his national forest. To make matters worse, Caitlin is attending the rally with Mac’s estranged uncle. Having her home again brings up feelings that are better left buried.

It’s early September. Any spark will send the dry timber into a raging fire. The terrorists are counting on that distraction to work in their favor. When Caitlin is trapped by the wildfire, her only hope of rescue is pinned on Mac, the man she's tried two years to forget. Before they can share their feelings, Mac and Caitlin must first escape the burning forest and stop the terrorists from releasing the deadly pathogens.






Excerpt:

“I’m sorry.” She bit down on the pain that jolted through her, stealing away the passionate moment forever. She’d waited a lifetime for Mac to kiss her like that. Even though the kiss was over, blood still sang in her veins. A joyful song. Wild and untamed as the forest. With Mac she was complete. Finally, at home where she belonged. Just when things were going right, his embrace had crushed her tender ribs.


“I should never have kissed—”


“No!” Caitlin pleaded with her eyes. “You can’t take it back.” Please, don’t take it back.


Mac swallowed.


Something shifted. Something changed. She couldn’t put a name on it, but his eyes softened, warmed when they looked into hers. Whatever had happened was irreversible. She sighed and closed her eyes.
