Their lives are on the line. So are their hearts…

Captain Penn Sullivan was no stranger to deadly conditions. So, he’s more than ready to chase an elusive drug trafficker through the Alaskan wilderness.

Cora doesn’t need a special ops unit with more muscles than brains to find the hijacked plane. She’s perfectly capable of figuring out where it went down on her own. But that doesn’t mean she can’t appreciate having a strong, sexy guy like Penn around to keep her warm on the frigid mountainside. When the mission goes sideways, it’s not long before Penn and Cora realize they’ll do anything to keep each other safe. Even if it takes extreme measures…

She wrecked his mission, but he stole her heart.

SEAL Team Blackout Operator Ronin Ramsey is confident that this will be a successful international op. Locate the enemy and get out—simple. Until all hell breaks loose and he discovers a group of women are being held hostage by the very terrorist his team’s after. And the surprises keep coming when a certain brave and stunningly beautiful hostage triggers big protective instincts he’s never felt before—not to mention the tension smoldering between them.

Farah Wolfe is just trying to make a difference in the world with her work in Nigeria. Now it seems the group that took her hostage isn’t finished terrorizing her. If not for Ramsey, she wouldn’t even be alive, though he doesn’t want to hear about her growing feelings. Keeping secrets from him is easy. Keeping her hands off all those steely hard muscles? Impossible.

For Ramsey, duty calls, and that means he can’t even hope for the things other men get in life. With time running out to stop the threats raining down on them, Ramsey and Farah have no choice but to break some rules of engagement…and more than a few when it comes to love.

She’s smart enough to know better, except when it comes to the SEAL trying to hack her heart.

SEAL Team Blackout Special Operator Drew Gunnison’s motto of duty, honor and integrity fit right in when given missions most special forces fail at. On their latest op to uncover who is funding the international terrorist the team’s been after, Gunnison is more than confident that his talent with technology will save the day. He’s prepared for any situation…until he’s partnered with a stunning hacker whose sexy librarian vibes have him even more eager for the long work days ahead.

Kit Wells has been secretly working as a white hat hacker for the government for years. She possesses all the skills to stop this terrorist in his tracks. But working alongside a man with abilities that almost measure up to hers is getting a little distracting. He can’t seem to keep his hands to himself. Or maybe she’s to blame? Either way, the steam in the office is making them both hot and bothered.

Gunnison and Kit might be able to crack the codes of the people changing stolen funds into cryptocurrency and diamonds, but breaking down Kit’s determination to keep him at arm’s length is harder. Just when he thinks he’s found a way into her heart, a secret is revealed about her true identity that threatens to end their hot, dirty affair…and wreck the mission.

Now that Noah’s spending so much time with Maya Ray, he’s starting to realize things might not have been perfect with his ex. But how long can they possibly keep up this act?

Opposites don’t only attract—they combust…

Retired pilot Michael Modeen is happy to be part of the WEST Protection security team. Usually, anyway. But his current mission has him grounded—and working with a snarky and very sexy woman who happens to be his boss’s little sister.
She’s totally off limits. And knowing that doesn’t make it any easier to keep his mind—or his hands—off her.

Corrine Wynton would rather be raising barrel-racing horses than overseeing security on an archaeological dig. But here she is, fighting fossil hunters and her irritating, overprotective coworker. And since he also makes her hotter than she cares to admit, this is shaping up to be the worst job ever.

When a security breach threatens the dig (and Corrine), Michael will do anything to keep the cowgirl safe, even if it means hogtying her with her own lasso.

Can they make it out alive? That’s anyone’s guess. The only thing they know for sure is that the road to happily ever after is a lot more dangerous than they ever thought possible…

A steamy former Marine getting ALL tangled up with his forbidden crush and a punch of action and adventure will set you on fire with every page you turn. Don’t miss out on this novel in the WEST Protection Series and 1-click your copy now!

After a big breakthrough with her gene editing project, Doctor Pippa Hamlin is neck-deep in danger and threats.
