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.

When she returns to Oregon after failing her first Northstar Security assignment and stumbles across a plot to steal deadly pathogens, she sees a chance at redemption. For USDA Forest Ranger, John ‘Mac’ MacAlistair, having Caitlin home again brings up feelings that are better left buried. When Caitlin is trapped by the wildfire, started by the terrorists, her only hope of rescue is pinned on Mac, the man she's tried two years to forget.

Dead Reckoning

Northstar Security Series Book #2

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!

Breaking the Honor Code

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.

Bitter Legacy

release date 6/7/17

Gun for Hire

release date 6/17

(feel free to click on the covers or titles and add to your wishlist...or even better, to pre-order them!)




Over the past few years I've had the opportunity to work with several delightful romantic suspense authors. Somehow...three of them have books being released a week apart, starting at the end of May. (yep, there's a reason why I haven't been keeping up with the blog and/or my reviews, lol)

A couple of them will be at the Writerspace Chat at this link on June 16, 2017 at 6 p.m. (west coast time) and/or at the Night Owl Chat at this link on June 19, 2017 at 5 p.m. (west coast time)

Those of you who haven't participated in typing chats, try these out. We're all friendly and happy to meet other avid readers, and it's so fascinating to be able to chat with the person behind the stories. Some of us (dinosaurs, lol) who don't use Facebook (I refuse to get caught in the FB/Twitter/Pinterest/Instagram black hole) enjoy this opportunity to interact with authors, and we always find plenty of titles to add to our tottering TBR mountains. There is a chance you can win a giveaway (make sure you register ahead of time at Night Owl if you want to be eligible) and you just need to be ready to discuss books (and sometimes other subjects, lol).

I will warn you, that things can go by pretty fast, but at Night Owl you can place your cursor over the screen where the conversation is going on and stop the scroll. At Writerspace, you can always use the scrollbar on the right to go back and review the conversation.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the comments and I will answer to the best of my ability.

Happy reading!
