Beau Boyette joined the military to earn money for college. He stayed because he loved the challenge and found a family in his Airborne Ranger team. The sole survivor of a catastrophic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of his entire team, Beau left the military, worked as a mercenary and landed with his merc team back home in the Louisiana bayou, working for Bayou Brotherhood Protectors. Daughter of a state senator, Aurelie Anderson, runs her father’s philanthropy operations centered around saving the bayou. With her father up for reelection against a candidate with Cajun mafia backing, she treads a dangerous path, sneaking onto industry properties to witness blatant violations of EPA guidelines, threatening the delicate bayou echo system. Attempts to kidnap or kill Aurelie force her father to hire Brotherhood Protectors to keep her safe. Assigned as Aurelie’s protector, Beau has his hands full defending Aurelie from her attackers and his heart from falling for the beautiful activist determined to make a difference in the bayou.
Author
Award-winning author Elle James grew up as an air force military brat. She received her work ethic from her rock-solid father, her creative streak from her artistic mother and inspiration from her writing partner and sister, Delilah Devlin. As a former member of the army reserves and a current member of the air force reserves, she's traveled across the United States and to Germany, managed a full-time job, and raised three wonderful children. She and her husband have even tried their hands at ranching exotic birds (ostriches, emus and rheas) in the Texas hill country. Ask her, and she'll tell you what it's like to go toe-to-toe with an angry three-hundred-and-fifty-pound bird and live to tell about it! Her adventures in the army and air force reserves, and the wild antics of her life on a small ranch in Texas give her fodder for mystery, suspense and humor in her writing. Elle writes gothic, paranormal mystery for the Harlequin Intrigue line and paranormal romantic comedy for Dorchester Publishing. A former manager of computer programming and project management professionals, Elle is happy she now has the opportunity to pursue her writing full time.
