...it reveals them.
Gunnar
(The Four Xs Group, Book 1)
War doesn’t forge heroes, it reveals them.
Former SEAL, Gunnar McKinley knows better than most that war also reveals the flaws in marriages—leading to divorce Running a multi-billion-dollar government contracting agency doesn’t exactly lend itself to happily ever after, either. He has his brothers, his business, his teams… more than any man could ask for. He has everything except for someone to love. He also has a target on his back.
Jorja Buchanan loves her life. Searching for antiques and attending rare painting auctions is her jam, and she’s good at it. Especially when it involves hacking into places she shouldn’t be. Auction houses, websites, listings… just give her a name and she’ll get you on the bidder’s list. Her life is going as she wants until she has to dig deeper and finds a list of names that will lead her back to a man from her past—if she can reach him in time.
Gunnar’s been burned before and Jorja’s not looking for love… but finding each other is exactly what their hearts need. As desire turns to passionate love, the danger grows. Can they survive the fallout from the list which brought them together?
Remi
(The Four Xs Group, Book 2)
War doesn’t forge heroes, it reveals them.
Former SEAL, and communication specialist for The Four X’s Group—a paramilitary organization he runs with his brothers, Remi *Zipper* McKinley has slammed the lid shut on the box he stuffed his heart into. He chained that puppy up, slapped on a padlock, and tossed the key away with prejudice. Never again will he allow flowery words and empty promises to dictate his future. Love, feelings, and happy ever after are not for him. The only thing a wife brings is pain, betrayal, and a bank balance with a big fat zero. Been there, done that, and he’s got the damn t-shirt.
For Serena Wayland the chance of vacationing on safari within her budget was too good to pass up. Her first clue something was wrong was when the destination changed, her second when her friend and traveling companion disappeared, and her third when she was abandoned by her guides in Uganda. Unless those gorillas watching her every move, have a phone and will let her use it—she’s up a certain creek and paddles didn’t come as part of her package deal.
A favor for a friend sends Remi on the trail of a missing woman, the one he finds is not on his list. But his honor won’t allow him to leave Serena to fend for herself. He’s everything she ever desired. She’s everything he never knew his soul needed. But can Serena convince Remi she’ll protect his heart as fiercely as he protects his country?
A woman in need, a man in pain and the only thing which can truly save them—the courage to face the greatest risk of all: love.
Colt
(The Four Xs Group, Book 3)
Three harrowing weeks.
​
When you watch the door close behind your favorite person as they walk away from you, you will never be the same person again. Your life, as you know it, has changed forever. It’s one of the biggest challenges of your entire life. Colt McKinley knows that now. The pain of Siobhán Tierney leaving brought him to his knees. It was like nothing he’d ever experienced before. No bullet or blade cut as deep. This pain showed him no mercy as a rip splintered down the center of his heart, shattering the hopes and dreams he’d allowed to take root. It burned the vines of what could have been their future and bulldozed the very foundation of who he was.
​
Two lost souls.
​
Siobhán Tierney needed freedom, and he gave it to her, no matter the cost to himself. She was protecting her heart. He understood it. He’d encouraged it. But when she’d taken him at his word and left… he realized he’d been wrong. So wrong. To survive, Colt hardened his heart once more. Slowly, brick by brick, log by log, the wall he’d demolished to allow Siobhán in, was rebuilt. This time, he reinforced the walls with a determination never to allow anyone to get close enough to break him again.
​
A love to last a lifetime.
​
Fifteen years later, time and distance have dulled the pain, but a phone call from her father sends his world spinning off its axis. Siobhan is missing, and the only one with the skills and resources to find her is…Colt.
​
He fears nothing… until he must smuggle her out of Pakistan.
