Exclusive Chapter 1 of Rescuing Isabelle

Somedays, I want to pinch myself, because this kind of life never happens to a girl like me. 

Now, if I could only get my four, overprotective, overbearing, and overly paternalistic brothers to back off, this could be the perfect life.

Perfect except for the whole abduction-in-the-jungles-of-Nicaragua bit and the subsequent running-for-my-life thing. 

Except my brothers will not get off my case. They demand I go home. 

Where it’s safe. 

Safe feels a whole hell of a lot like oppressively smothering. I love my brothers, but they can be way over the top when it comes to their baby sister.

However, I’ve successfully put them off. 

At least for a bit.

That trip home needs to happen, but I’m going to stonewall them for a little bit more.

I’m not ready to step away, especially when it comes to days like today.

And my view?

It’s one in a million.

“Whatcha thinking, Izzy?” My best friend in the whole wide world, my abduction-and-running-for-my-life-buddy, Angie, gives me the eye. 

She knows exactly what I’m thinking.

Hell, every female within sight of the spectacle in front of us is thinking the same damn thing.

That’s due to the six mighty fine Guardians flexing their muscles in a virile display of jaw-dropping, fantasy-inducing, testosterone-infused masculinity, and my dirty mind is overflowing with all kinds of wicked fantasies.

“I’m not thinking anything you’re not.” I cross my arms and give her a look. “Your mouth is open, and you’re drooling.” I call her out for calling me out.

Angie likes to think, since she’s got a ring on her finger, that she’s above ogling the drool-worthy display, but she’s totally guilty of checking out not just her beau, Brady, but all the men of Bravo team.

Just.

Like.

Me.

Her heart may belong to Brady Malone, but she watches them all.

“Oh yes, you are.” She reaches over and pinches me. “And if I’m drooling, you’re foaming at the mouth. You so want a piece of Booker Holloway.” She pinches me.

“Hey, stop that.” I yank away and rub at my skin. “That hurt.”

“Not until you admit you’ve got an eye for Bravo Two.” Her light hazel eyes twinkle with amusement. Yeah, she’s having fun with me.

“I won’t.”

But the thing is…she’s totally right. I’ve got a major lady boner for Booker Holloway, especially after what the women of Alpha team told me about how he made ends meet before he became a Guardian.

Before he became a US Navy SEAL.

It’s deliciously naughty.

My man is an ex-exotic dancer—was an exotic dancer. Evidently he doesn’t do that anymore. 

Bummer.

Although, he supposedly taught the men of Alpha team how to bump and grind on their women. 

In Vegas, no less. 

But that’s a different story.

“You don’t have to say it because it’s scrawled all over your face.” Angie makes a circle in front of my face, then preens in victory because she knows she’s right.

Booker used to star in an all male review on the strip in Vegas. He’s got the moves and the body for it. I don’t doubt it for a second. Not that I didn’t due my due diligence and confirm for myself.

I’ve got the pictures and the proof; after a little detective work and an assist from Mitzy, the technical lead for Guardian HRS. I call her a wizard, because that woman is amazing. She makes me feel like an underachiever.

Which I’m totally not. 

Straight A’s in high school were followed by straight A’s in undergrad, and those continued in Pharmacy school, where I graduated…with honors.

I’m a valedictorian three times over. I thought that was pretty bad ass until I met Mitzy. I’ve come to realize, I’m merely ordinary; at least when I try to measure myself up against the talent hired on at Guardian HRS.

“I hate you.” I tighten my arms and hunch inward. 

I hate that Angie’s right, but there’s no denying the truth. The scariest thing is I think he may like me too.

“Want me to ask Brady if Booker’s into you?”

“No!” That makes me cringe.

Isn’t it funny how no matter how old we get, we never leave the schoolyard? Here I am, pining over a boy, thinking he might like me, but too chickenshit to get off my ass and find out.

“Hey, lunch break is almost over.” Angie starts packing up the remnants of her meal. “We’ve have to get back to orientation.”

Our new employer definitely offered us one sweet deal. Two actually. One for each of us. They hired me on as a pharmacist. I’ll be working at Guardian HQ’s onsite hospital during my initial onboarding, but then I’ll shift to the pharmacy at the Facility where Guardian HRS is looking to expand.  

Angie got the same offer…to work for Guardian HRS, that is. She’s not a pharmacist, but rather an ophthalmologist. She’ll remain at the onsite hospital, joining their current Ophtho team.

“What if we fake tummy aches? Tell them we need fresh air to recover?” My gaze turns back to the men scaling the sixty-foot wall in front of us. Bravo team is a little over two thirds of the way to their objective. They’re joined on the wall by two robots. Four footed things, they scale the wall like it’s nothing, putting the Guardians to shame. Every day at Guardian HRS some new futuristic tech makes me shake my head. 

“I think that’ll go over like a ton of bricks. Come on. You can watch them tomorrow too.”

Bravo team is in between assignments, which means they fill their days working various scenarios and honing their skills. As for Bravo team, my bestie is currently engaged to Brady; the man who single-handedly rescued us from the Coralos cartel after they abducted our entire medical team. 

He’s the lead for Bravo team. They call him Bravo One. 

Booker’s Bravo Two. Then there’s the rest of the team: Rafe, Hayes, Alec, and Zeb. 

The whole team looks like they’re carved out of granite; all hard lines and rough edges, perfect specimens of the male form.

“Le sigh.” I lean back and press the back of my hand over my forehead in a dramatic gesture. “They’re all stinking hot.”

“But you have the hots for one.” Angie giggles. “And from the looks he gives you, the feeling has to be reciprocated. I could ask Brady to look into it.”

“No! Don’t you dare. And I’m not into Booker. He’s an over-protective, over-bearing ass.” My lips twist, turning my smile into a frown. “That man is flawed, with a capital F, as in over-bearing, over-protective, and over-everything. He’s just like my brothers, and you see how I react to their demands.”

“I do, and you love that about Booker.” She continues to tidy up our picnic spot. “It’s what draws you to him.” 

“Does not.”

“You can’t lie to me.” She turns her attention back to the rock wall the men scale as a part of one of their training exercises. “The air sizzles when the two of you get close.”

“Don’t know what you’re talking about, and as far as sizzle, look who’s talking? You and Brady are like lightning with the way you make the air crackle.” I lean back and tilt my head, getting a really fabulous look at the way Booker’s ass fills out his pants. He traverses an overhead reverse incline with a full ruck on his back. One of the robotic dogs waits patiently for its turn to traverse the same overhang. Working with the robots, Bravo team is testing their operational readiness.

The man reaches out with those powerful arms. Those deft fingers feel around for a blind grip. Once he’s set, his body swings out into open space. I can’t help but gasp, worried he might fall the fifty feet between him and the ground. 

But he doesn’t.

Booker uses the momentum of his body to his advantage. He hooks a boot on a rock overhead, then hand over hand, pulls himself up the rock face. That gives me plenty of time to admire the way he fills out those black tactical pants of his. The man has a mighty fine ass, and from what little I’ve seen of the front package, there are delights there to be had as well.

Once he’s past that obstacle, it’s time for the robot to follow. It scrambles across the inverted overhang like it’s nothing, reminding me of a spider or a crab. Unlike either of those, the robots only have the four legs, plus one armlike appendage that does double duty as a head and arm.

As for Booker, my mind is totally in the gutter. As for the gutter, Angie leads me into a trap.

“I bet you’d kill for Booker to get bossy with you.”

“Shut up.” I smack her in the arm, but the heat in my cheeks tells the truth. 

Can’t help it. I love a man who knows what he wants. When he goes after it with single-minded determination, I turn into a swoony puddle of goo. 

It’s true. I like a man who knows how to take charge, but only in the bedroom, and only when I’m in the mood. Meaning, that overprotective shit better not flow into any other part of my life.

The problem with Booker is he’s not the kind of man who knows how to turn off his natural protectiveness. His take charge attitude is a 24/7 kind of thing as well.

And I don’t respond well to that; except the bedroom.

With my cheeks aflame, I gather my trash and pack up the rest of my lunch. 

“I really hate you.”

“You love me far too much to hate me.”

“I do.” I tilt my head back, wanting one last view of the spectacle that is Bravo team. 

They’re near the top of the sixty-foot artificial rock wall. Not aware of the specific objective of this training exercise, I don’t know if they did well or failed. Knowing the way Brady leads his team, and how Booker backs him up, I bet they busted expectations.

Angie and I stand, then police our picnic spot, making sure we leave nothing behind. As we do, my phone rings. I pull out my cellphone and glance at the screen.

“Ugh! Will they ever stop?”

“Your brothers?” Angie’s eyes flash with mirth. “Which one?”

“Elder Dingleberry.” That’s what I call my oldest brother. 

He’s a decade older than me and likes to think that gives him parental privilege over my life, and my life choices. 

He was the loudest when it came to expressing concern when I first joined Doctors Without Borders. 

I loved that job. 

Absolutely loved it. 

My first nine-month contract found me in the Caribbean where I worked with my team to stamp out parasitic infection, provide live-saving immunizations, and dole out anti-malarials and antibiotics like they were going out of style. 

Talk about a dream job.

My life’s been blessed. I’ve never wanted for anything. To give something back to those less fortunate than myself is the golden goose of selfless acts. 

My second contract brought me to Nicaragua, and while the first two months were amazing, the abduction thing was less than stellar.

Elder Dingleberry feels that proves his point about how dangerous my work with Doctors Without Borders was. He wants me close to home where he, and the other Dingleberries, can watch over me.

I’m one of those people who believe every cloud has a silver lining. As horrific, and terrifying as that might have been, it brought Angie and me together. Before that event, we were cordial colleagues. We worked side-by-side, but never connected. Now, we’re practically inseparable. 

We’ll still be together when we’re old and gray. It’s one of those life-ships. That’s what my mother calls a lifetime friendship. Angie’s definitely my life-ship.

Even when she’s being a pain in the ass when it comes to Booker.

The hissing of rope running through carabiners snaps my head up in time to see the six Guardians rappelling down that sixty-foot rock face. I don’t know how they do it, but they all kick off the wall at the same time, swing out, then gently arc back inward. Their feet touch the wall one time, then they kick off and drop to the ground. 

It’s like watching water ballet. They’re so in synch with each other, it’s like they’re a living, breathing, machine working in unison.

Since I’m currently holding my breath, I’m going to call it breathtaking, because I’m certainly amazed, impressed, overwhelmed, and a little bit tingly down there. More so when Booker looks my direction and gives one of his devastating winks.

Dear lord, just shoot me now. Because now he knows I’ve been watching him.

Angie clutches the ring tied around her neckless. Like me, she’s breathless and overtaken by these strange emotions. 

The ring on that necklace belongs to her late husband. On her finger, however, the diamond engagement ring Brady gave her glitters in the light.

I envy my best friend. She found, not just one, but two soulmates to love. Whereas I’ve never dated. Never experienced young love—thank you Dingleberries.

No man stands a chance against my brothers.

My phone rings…again.

“Aren’t you going to answer?” Angie looks down at my phone. 

I swipe away the incoming call with a growl forming in the back of my throat.

“No.”

“They’ll just keep calling.”

Angie’s not wrong about that. After our Nicaraguan jungle adventure, we both moved to California. We share a small two bedroom townhouse while we figure out our lives. 

In this case, figure out means however long Angie’s going to make Brady wait to tie the knot for real.

He’s always at our place, and where Brady goes, Booker follows. Those two are tight.

All that’s to say, Angie hears my phone go off day and night. My brothers are persistent bastards.

“You know…” she gives me a sideways glance. “If you don’t talk to them, one of them, if not all four, are going to come out here and drag you home.”

“They’d like to think they could.” I shove the phone deep into my back pocket. 

“All I’m saying is what they’ve told me.”

I forget my brothers text Angie as well. It’s a two pronged attack. Annoy me, and my bestie, and one of us will cave.

“You’re not answering those texts, are you?” I narrow my eyes with suspicion.

“I wouldn’t do that to you.” She gives me a look, almost offended, but smoothes it out with a smile. “But I will tell you the texts are getting more and more insistent.”

“I’ll go home when I go home, and not a minute sooner.”

“Hey, I’m on your side. Just telling you what they’re saying to me.” 

I stop and pivot. Grasping her hands, I give them a little squeeze. “And that’s what I love about you.”

“What?”

“That you put up with my family drama. I regret ever giving them your number. You’re a saint for putting up with them.”

“It’s not that hard to ignore a text.” 

She gives me a look like I’m over reacting and am overly grateful, but Angie doesn’t know my brothers. They’re not ones to stop at a text.

“Well, how about we get through the rest of the afternoon. I’ll text them when we get home.”

“Um, Izzy…” She gives me a look. “You didn’t forget, did you?”

“Forget about what?”

“Brady and…”

“Oh shit.” I cover my mouth. “I did.”

It’s Friday night, which means Brady and Booker are coming over for dinner. Since Angie can’t cook worth a damn, I volunteered to whip up one of my amazing dishes.

“But that’s perfect.” My step lightens. “I can talk while I’m cooking. It’s a natural kicking them off the phone stopping point.” 

“Okay, but please no drama with Booker tonight. Will you promise to behave?”

“I always behave.” With a shake of my head, I skip a step or two ahead of her. “He’s the one who’s always putting his foot in his mouth.”

“Great…” Angie rolls her eyes. She almost looks disappointed, but she loves me. “You’re not going to behave.”

“I will if he does.”

“Just shoot me now.” 

There it is. Angie’s eyes do a double flip and triple twist with that eye roll.

“What do you care? The moment the food’s done, you and Brady are going to get all lovey-dovey, leaving Booker and me to…”

“You could get cozy with him.”

“Not happening.”

“I’m telling you. The two of you make a nice couple.”

“I don’t want nice.” Nope. That’s not what I want at all.

And I’m not wrong about Booker. He’s over the top, moving from tolerable to unbearable Alpha asshole in a split second.

Unfortunately, he’s exactly the kind of man I’m attracted to.

MARIA

Criminals. Mafia. That’s what everyone said we were.

I never believed the rumors, though. I’d know if anything shady was happening in my family.

Except…I didn’t. 

When my best friend disappears from the Belvedere, I knew I could find her. Because while I might be clueless about my family, I know everything that happens in my hotel.    

That’s when I found him.

I thought he was the bad guy. My enemy.

He wasn’t. 

But just because I misjudged him doesn’t mean he can’t destroy me….and my heart…

LIAM

 The Rossi crime family is going down. 

 As a Guardian, it’s my job to make it happen. I was ready for anything. 

 Except her. 

 Maria’s clearly innocent. I didn’t want to give her the dose of reality that destroyed her perfect world.

But I had no choice. 

See, I need her. Being her fake boyfriend is the only way to get close to her family. She’s a means to an end.

Except now, she’s so much more. What I feel for her could ruin everything. 

For both of us…

The Guardian Hostage Rescue series gets more intense with every book. With dangerous missions, heroic rescues, nail-biting suspense, and sizzling romance, it’s an addictive adrenalin rush.

Rescuing Maria is the seventh book of The Guardians: Hostage Rescue Specialists series. It’s a fast-paced, steamy, contemporary, military, romantic suspense that will tug at your heartstrings and leave your heart racing. If you love over-the-top protective military men that like to take charge, steamy couples, and happily ever afters, Rescuing Maria is for you.

Although the books in the series are standalone, much is gained by reading them in order, as the story of the Guardians is ongoing throughout the series.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

 Ellie Masters has outdone herself in her final Guardian HRS book. She has found a soul mate for Liam, the last man standing, and finally brought closure and answers to all the questions. Her readers will be thrilled with the outcome, shocked by all the craziness, and will most definitely swoon for the lovestruck hero.

Maria and Liam make an ideal pair. Before they are thrown into battle together, the chemistry between them already sizzled when their eyes first met. Maria is feisty, ready to battle anyone who gets in her way, and is full of passion for what she believes in. She is totally capable of protecting herself and ready to put her skills to the test.

Liam falls hard and fast for Maria Rossi. Her striking eyes are like lasers to his heart, and without even trying, she pierces it and makes him hers. Her head knows they are on a mission, but her heart does not get the message. Maybe because Liam has a little side mission of his own going named Operation Maria. Looks like there is a new lover boy in town!

While this story may have a romantic focus on Liam and Maria, it is also about shutting down the infamous human-trafficking operation and sniffing out the elusive “Snuff Guy.” Many secrets are revealed, and questions are finally answered, as Liam and Maria work together to uncover if or how the Rossi family is involved.

Maria may be left wheeling from all that is uncovered, but like all the Guardian women, she has a new family ready to wrap her in their embrace, now that she has been rescued. Readers will be happy to see some favorite characters from the past make appearances, and she also throws in a few flashbacks and reminders of past storylines, making sure no one forgets how it all began, how it all played out, and now, how it ends.

I’m certain I am not the only one who will miss the Guardians, and I know I will not be the only one encouraging author Ellie Masters to write more words in this world. She is a master, after all, so there is nothing she can’t accomplish.

Rescuing Maria gets a full 5 stars from me. She managed to shock me while also making the “snuff guy” plot totally make sense, in a sociopathic and psychotic kind of way!

Achieving

a Dream!

A little over a week ago, I was riding Cloud 9, because, after a year of hard work of pushing Desire After Dark, me and my fellow authors in this anthology, were well situated to make the USAT list with over 5000 preorders. 

The USAT list is a weekly list that puts out the top 150 selling books in the US. To hit the low end of the list, general wisdom suggests around 5000 sales. 

So you can imagine how thrilled we were, and excited, for the book to release last Tuesday.

But then…

It didn’t.

Well, it released on Apple and Barnes and Noble, but Amazon (where the bulk of our preorders were located) GLITCHED and failed to publish the book.

 I felt complete and utter devastation, just really this gut-churning overwhelming sense of defeat.

All that work…a year’s worth of pushing…for nothing.

Dream crushed.

We agonized all day Tuesday…Wednesday…Thursday as Amazon said they were ‘fixing’ the problem.

(FYI: USAT counts sales from Monday to Sunday…so the clock was ticking.)

The authors talked, and we made the heartbreaking decision to pull the original book and republish it, losing all those preorders, and attempt to accomplish in THREE days, what we’d done in over a year.

Talk about knuckling under, calling in favors, begging, pleading…

It was rough.

And you came through for me, and for the other authors in the set.

In three days we sold over 7500 copies!!!

OMG…I could not believe it.

It really does take a village and you are my village.

This is my sappy post, and I wanted to share something deeply personal with you.

This picture encompasses achieving a 10-year dream.

Each little bit of this picture symbolizes something special to me.

The bottle of champagne…I didn’t buy it for this reletase.

That bottle of BRUT? I bought it when I released my first Indie Book, Heart’s Insanity. You may notice it was never opened. Which is kind of sad when I look back on it. I bought that bottle to CELEBRATE publishing my first book. That’s something to celebrate, but the day the book published, other things were happening. Jet and I put off celebrating to the next day, and then the next, and then the next. Days turned to weeks, as that bottle just sat in the fridge.

We bought a house and sold a house, and when moving all our things to the new house, that unopened bottle came with us. I’d look at it now and then, always remembering how it’s the bottle I never opened, the milestone never celebrated. I should’ve opened it that day, way back when. I shouldn’t have postponed the celebration. After weeks, months, and years pass (Heart’s Insanity was published in 2016!) that bottle started to represent something else to me.

It represented a failure of sorts. Failure to be present in the moment. Failure to celebrate wins. Failure to share success with others. I kind of became this weird anchor weighing me down.

A bottle of champagne.

Isn’t that funny?

So when I hit #80 on the USA Today Bestselling author list, the first thing I did when I got home was to grab that lonely, unopened bottle of champagne. We were going to celebrate.

But then Jet said…WAIT! We need a picture.

So we took a picture of the bottle.

But then, I wanted to stage it, and I went for the champagne flutes. In getting those, I came across the MCCS (Marine Corps Camp Services) engraved glasses we brought home from Okinawa, and I thought THESE need to be in the picture.

Why?

Because my writing journey began in Okinawa. We loved the six years we spent in Okinawa and I would go back in a heartbeat if I could. It was truly the best six years of my time with Jet and the boys. I was an Air Force officer, living on a Marine base, working in a Navy hospital, with special forces friends all around me. I mean, it doesn’t get better than that.

The ONLY reason I became an author is because Thing I, my new Space Force specialist son, came home with an English assignment. He had to write a descriptive paragraph about a girl looking out over a cliff.

AND THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE! (his words)

So we sat down and I told him don’t worry about writing the paragraph. What do you think that girl is looking at? And he told me. Then I asked him, what is she wearing? And he told me. I asked if it was day or night? Cold or hot? What did she see when looking over that cliff? Was there wind, or was the air still?

We created this world between us and once he imagined what was happening, he wrote his descriptive paragraph. He got an A on that assignment.

The next day, he asked me, so what comes next?

I was like, what do you mean?

For the girl? What comes next?..he said.

And it was like getting struck by lightning. My very first book came out of that one assignment. It’s called Calagonia, a young adult science fiction novel, that’s never been published.

Calagonia launched my journey into writing.

I then wrote another young adult science fiction novel, Vendel Rising, which had romantic elements.

And I knew my writing needed help. With the help of the internet, I joined an online critique group and learned the mechanics and art of writing and story telling.

I wrote The Princess Murders, which became Twist of Fate, which became Rescuing Melissa (as you know the story now).

Then I wrote more…the Angel Fire series was formed, then more stories came after that.

In that picture, I’m toasting with Jet…THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!

He always encouraged me to write, even when my stories weren’t his cup of tea. When I turned to romance, he turned away for a time. Not that he didn’t like the stories, he’s read everyone, but it—again—wasn’t his cup of tea.

But then…

He got more involved. When I needed to talk through a plot point, he’d brainstorm with me. Brainstorming turned to plotting. Plotting turned into our first co-created series THE ONE I WANT. He envisioned, plotted, and helped form that entire series.

Saving Abby is the story included in the Desire After Dark anthology. I wrote the novella, Finding Peace, years ago, and it never felt complete to me, or to readers like you. So I took Finding Peace (20 thousand word novella) and tripled its size, fleshed out the story, and WOW, I love SAVING ABBY far better than its anemic start as Finding Peace.

All this is to say, I didn’t become a USA Today Bestselling Author alone. I did it with the best person I know, the man I love, the man who is the other piece of me. The man I met and married in less than four months.

If you wonder how, or why, most of my characters fall in love in the span of days or weeks, it’s because of Jet. I knew he was my one the first day we met.

Love at First Sight, I’m a believer, and I’m thrilled to be on this crazy author journey with him by my side.

So the bottle of champagne is to remind me to celebrate all the wins. Small, medium, or large…CELEBRATE your wins.

The MCCS (Marine Corps Camp Services) Okinawa is where my writing journey began.

Jet…what can I say? Without him, none of this would be possible.

And then there’s you, the most important part. Writing stories is no fun without the ability to share them with others. To join you in escaping this world by diving into another one is a tremendous gift.

So, I wanted to thank YOU. Without you, my dream would not have been possible. AND I can’t wait to see where we go from here!

He takes a step toward me.

I shift back.“You’re not running from this.” The muscles of his jaw bunch, and he gives a slow shake of his head.“Caleb …”“You’re more beautiful than freshly fallen snow.”I hold out a hand, trying to stave him off, and take another step back.He steps toward me. “You’re mesmerizing like a spring rain and more vibrant than the flowers poking up through the snow. You’re wild like fall leaves blowing with wintery gusts. You’re my eternal summer, my endless fall, the warm embrace of winter, with all the hopes of spring to carry me through. You can’t run from this. You can’t run from us.”I stare at him, defiant and afraid. He isn’t letting this go.Our gazes lock in a silent battle while he advances and I retreat. A war rages between us until tears rise in my eyes when I can no longer deny the truth.“Why did you have to come back? Why couldn’t you stay away?” Tears roll down my cheeks as he heaves a deep sigh.We stand for a moment, simply feeling each other’s presence.For what seems an eternity, I feel the beating of my heart. It wants to run to him, but I hold it back.Not exactly sure when he moves, or how he crosses the remaining space between us, I gasp as he grabs my arm. My heart skips a beat, and I try to yank free.He cups my chin and backs me against the heavy front door. There’s nowhere to run, not that I would.He forces me to look at him, to breathe him in, and absorb every detail, every nuance of his expression. In him, I see the boy who grew into a powerful man. His determined stare, blue eyes blown out by the dark depths of his lust, and the hitch in his breath, tells me everything I need to know.He loves me too.

Treasure hunting leaves little room for romance…
Brie Hamilton has learned to trust logic, not emotion. Fairy tale endings and love at first sight simply don’t exist. Then a sexy historian hires her to captain his research vessel and she starts to question everything—including why she shouldn’t sleep with her boss…
Brent Calloway has spent his career hunting for sunken treasure. Now, the biggest discovery of his life is finally within reach. When he suddenly loses his captain, he needs to scramble fast and find a replacement. He just never expected his new employee to be a woman. Now, the keys to the success of the entire operation—and maybe even his heart—are in her gorgeous, capable hands.
But treasure tends to attract trouble—and in this case, that means treacherous enemies and even a few modern-day pirates. Looks like Brie and Brent will have to fight more than the lure of forbidden desire if they want to find their happily ever after…
Saving Brie is a steamy, instalove, contemporary romantic suspense about love at first sight. It features a protective hero and the smart, feisty heroine who steals his heart.

EXCERPT
I spent eight years in the military. Alpha men are a dime a dozen in the Army, but we all had the same purpose, the same mission. The business of oil drilling attracts a similar breed, rough and rugged men, only these don’t hold to a code I understand. With the military, everyone marches to the same drummer, follows the same orders, and can be trusted implicitly.Drillers? They’re a rough lot.They make me uncomfortable, and I don’t trust them.Gusts buffet the helideck and the craft shudders. As the whine of the engine disappears, another sound replaces it. A deep, thunderous booming, felt more than heard, joins the roar of the wind. Vibrations from waves crashing against the support pillars rip through the super-structure. Nature’s power literally shakes the world.I pop open my door and signal to the waiting crew it’s safe to approach. They rush forward and secure my skids, bracing the helicopter against the rising winds. They do the same to the rotors overhead.Once the skids are locked securely to the helideck, I give the signal for Andrew and Larry. The two men jump out, packs strapped to their backs and portable stretchers in tow.This isn’t our first foray to one of the thousands of oil rigs distributed throughout the Gulf. The imposing structures never fail to inspire awe, and I feel some of that now pounding in my blood. Or maybe that’s adrenaline spiking along my nerves? It doesn’t matter. Everything about this situation is intense.Safety protocols have been drilled into me, as they have for my crew. Many of the walkways, stairwells, and ladders span vast distances with deadly drops beneath them. One hand on the rail at all times. It’s a mantra we live with. A fall here can be fatal. Drilling remains one of the most dangerous professions for a reason.A thick arm braces my door as a gust tries to slam it shut on my leg.“Careful!” a gruff voice shouts.“Thanks.”He pulls back, a look of surprise on his face. “You’re a chick.”“All day. Every day.”“Huh.” He holds the door open against the wind. “Come with me.”“I’ll stay here, thank you.”“Not happening. Too dangerous.” His gruff features brook no argument as he studies my face. An aura of authority surrounds him and slams into me with the absolute assurance I will do as he says.My entire career has been spent facing down dominant men and overcoming male and female stereotypes that define who I can and can’t be. I earned my right to pilot the helicopter and won’t let his overwhelming presence force me into feeling less because I happen to be a chick.But that authoritative aura?It does things—spins my thoughts, teases my mind, and draws forth a powerful need to cave to his demands. To dispel the effect he has on me, I shake my head and grit my teeth.“I’m staying with the helicopter.”“No. You’re not.” He props open the door, leans in, and pulls me out of my seat.

Rescuing Moira is LIVE!

Grab Your Copy Today!

MOIRA
I’ve been to Hell and back,
And back again.
It’s a never-ending cycle for me.
Every time I think the worst is over,
I get knocked right back down again.
I grew up on the streets. I’ve been traded in and out of men’s beds,
I thought that was my lowest moment, but I was wrong.
I was taken from one hell and sold into another.

I’m calloused, hardened, and hopeless.
But when Griff swoops in,
More than once,
To protect me, save me, rescue me,
One thing is certain:
He’ll never stop saving me.
He’s my Guardian angel,
One I can’t live without.

GRIFF
I’d go to Hell and back to save her,
Knock anyone down who gets in my way.
I did it once. I’ll do it again.
I’ll do it as many times as it takes.
She’s strong, bold, and beautiful,
Yet vulnerable, sensitive, and perfect.
She deserves the best in life,
Except the hand she’s been dealt.
I need her, love her, crave her,
And I’ll do anything to keep Moira safe.

Rescuing Moira is a fast-paced, steamy, contemporary, military, romantic suspense that will tug at your heartstrings and leave your heart racing.

The Guardian Hostage Rescue Series is About Captivity, Rescue, & Recovery.

Violent Action Scenes Contrast With A Deep Journey Of Discovery as Each Couple Works To Make Their Own Sense Of Normal Despite The Depravity They Have Both Witnessed.

The Suspense Mounts As The Guardians Work To Bring A Human Trafficking Ring Down.

Trigger warning: sensitive readers should take note. This book includes violence, abduction, issues of non-consent, and captivity.

Each book is a standalone, following one couple’s happy for now ending, but the story of the Guardians is ongoing throughout.

ABOUT THE GUARDIANS: HOSTAGE RESCUE SPECIALISTS

An organization formed for the purpose of rescuing hostages both domestic and worldwide, Guardian HRS is composed of primarily ex-military special forces – trained soldiers and experts in their fields.

The best and the finest are recruited upon leaving the military in order to serve on these elite teams. Since most are former military, they slide into their roles with relative ease.

They must perfect enhanced interrogation techniques, without which their missions would be doomed to fail. Unlike the military, they are not restricted by governmental standards. They have no qualms about taking out bad guys.

Due to the nature of their work, staying in prime physical condition is a requirement. When not employed on missions, the Guardians do physical training and drills. They work one week a month to empower their rescued victims by teaching them self-defense. Tech and medical teams provide vital mission support to the Guardians.

Sam, who is a legend in the black ops community, heads the organization. He is well-connected in the government and recruits only the best to join the ranks of the Guardians. The company assists the FBI on a contract basis with domestic off-the-books hostage extractions, working mostly with wealthy clients. These government connections help to keep Guardians protected by people in high places even though their work doesn’t typically stay within the law.

The tech team is a brilliant but disorganized group. They are led by Mitzy, Lead Technical Engineer, who has a bit of OCD but is a veritable tech genius. Mitzy is quirky and brilliant with a computer, so Forest snatched her up for the Guardians. The tech team works in the background, digging up the information needed to ensure successful missions. Mitzy works with facts and leaves the assumptions to the Guardians.

The medical team stands on call at all times. They frequently travel on location to save lives and administer care to team members and rescued victims alike. Dr. Skye Summers, Lead Medical Physician, also happens to be one of the two co-founders of The Guardians. Ryker and Tia, a married couple, are on the medical team.

Guardian operations are overseen by Charles James Rowan (CJ), formerly of Delta team, who has become a famed member of the organization since bringing down a serial killer and his copy cat in book one, Rescuing Melissa. He still reports to Sam, but he has since been promoted to Mission Commander. He leads Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, and Delta teams. Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie teams travel worldwide to take down traffickers and rescue victims. Delta team’s focus remains domestic.

Alpha team includes Max (Alpha-One) as team leader. Knox is his second (Alpha-Two). Axel (Alpha-Three) is team medic. Griff (Alpha-Four) specializes in interrogation. Liam and Wolfe finish out the team (Alpha-Five and Alpha-Six).

Bravo team is led by Brady, Max’s best friend (Bravo-One). The team includes Booker.

Charlie team includes Tex as team leader (Charlie-One), Hank (Charlie-Two), Walt (Charlie-Three), Blake, Jeb, and Gabe.

Delta, CJ’s old team, is now led by Jenny (Delta-One). Delta team is the only Guardian team with female members. Others on the team include Mac, Jon Knutt, Brett Parmley, and Charlene Moudin (Delta-Six). Charlie/Charlene – every man’s wet dream – is the newest member of the team. Jenny is from Brazil and a former victim herself. She and Mac have an interesting dynamic.

Located along the California coast, The Facility is a residential rehabilitation center run by the organization. It is a secure facility that rescued victims can opt to stay at while learning to overcome the trauma they have faced. The huge complex serves as a safe place for trafficking survivors and rescued youth to live and learn how to recover their lives. Most of its residents are minors, many of which were rescued from the foster system. In addition to learning self-defense, they are provided counseling and education. While residents at The Facility, victims work to build self-confidence. They learn to empower themselves by not being victims, but by becoming survivors.

Forest Summers is a billionaire investor whose support funds many of the Guardians’ activities. He and his sister Skye co-founded The Guardians: HRS. Sam runs the show, but he reports to Forest. Forest’s troubled youth has inspired him to help those in need. He is committed to rescuing youth from bad foster homes as well as liberating those swept up into human trafficking. Taking down the networks behind the business is a priority. Forest’s interests don’t just stop there, though. He also founded The Facility and manages the rock band Angel Fire. He dabbles in many things. He has a brilliant but unusual mind. He doesn’t relate well to people yet dedicates his time and money to helping the most unfortunate.

Note that Forest Summers is a crossover character. An emotional prequel to his story gives readers insight into his early trauma and motivation. Read the novella Ashes to New to learn about him and his foster sister Skye. Read Changing Roles (books 4-6), a book by Jet Masters (and Ellie Masters) that crosses several series in one book. It shows the human trafficking side of the story and Forest’s involvement from that angle. He is also in the Angel Fire rock star series as their manager, where he finally gets his own HEA. Forest’s Fall is book six of that series. It takes place after Changing Roles (and was previously book three of the Captive Hearts series).

That is not the only crossover. Three on the medical team also have crossover stories. Skye Summers gets her story with Ash Dean (a.k.a. Blaze) in book one of the Angel Fire rock band series, Heart’s Insanity. Major Tia Meyers (T) and Technical Sergeant Ryker Lyons get their story in Heart’s Desire, book two of the Angel Fire series. On the tech side, Mitzy gets her story with Noodles of Angel Fire in book five of that series, Hearts Entwined. It was through Forest that she met rock star Noodles. There is also crossover of Ariel Black, ex-military helicopter pilot, who helps with an assist in Rescuing Moira. Her book is the first book in The One I Want series, Aiden.

Fans will note that the last chapter in Rescuing Moira points to the next book in the series, Rescuing Eve (book four). Eve Deverough had been kidnapped from Cancun along with Zoe in book two. After getting unloaded from the container ship, the girls were separated and put onto different flatbed trucks. There are hints that Max (Alpha-One) will be sent into a trafficking ring undercover, taking advantage of the information recovered by Moira.

The Guardian Hostage Rescue Specialists are dark, raw, and gritty. They deal with captivity, rescue, and recovery. Violent action scenes contrast with a deep journey of discovery. The suspense mounts as the Guardians work to bring a human trafficking ring down.

The stories are plot-driven. The details are complex. Although the books in the series are standalone, much is gained by reading them all in order. 

Much thanks to B. Roscoe who provided the excellent source material for this run down of the Guardian Hostage Rescue Specialists series, and so very graciously allowed me to use her words.

Thank you so very much!

What she’s not prepared for is Brody La Rouge, the only man who ever broke her heart. It’s time to take Brody LaRouge down a notch, but her struggling winery needs the equity investment of his multi-billion dollar company.
