Reckless
2016
New cover edition found here. The new London office of Benson Security hasn't even opened its doors yet and already it's neck deep in its first case... If the mission doesn't kill him, his sexy partner just might. Dimitri Raast and Megan Donaldson have a common enemy - the head of an organisation that specializes in human trafficking and sexual slavery. They have similar motivation - Dimitri's sister was taken by the organisation, and Megan's sister is threatened by it. They have the same goal - eliminate their enemy and save their sisters. Given they have so much in common, you would think working together would be a piece of cake. You would be wrong. While Dimitri brings skills and experience from years as a US Army Ranger to their partnership, Megan brings a background in failed career choices and an ability to cause trouble wherever she goes. Yet, even with so much at stake, Dimitri can't resist Megan's particular brand of crazy. She's wild, she's sexy and she's fearless. An irresistible combination for a man who lives his life completely in control. Now, after almost a year with one all-consuming focus, Dimitri finds himself torn between rescuing his sister and protecting the woman he wants - from herself. Before she gets them both killed.

Relentless
2017
A missing mummy. A drug cartel. An ex-US Army Ranger. And a woman who's at odds with the world. It's Relentless... There's no hiding the fact that Julia Collins has issues. She's shy to the point of trying to become invisible. She has OCD tendencies—breaking out in hives if she loses control of her environment. She finds it hard to talk to intimidating men, or more accurately, to any men. A fact that makes working as the office manager for Benson Security particularly difficult—the company is made up almost entirely of huge, intimidating,ex-military men. But none of the men affect her the way Joe Barone does. The ex-marine is charming, confident, heroic and so sexy it hurts to look at him. Everything about Joe intimidates Julia. And that's why, when he declares his interest in her,she does the only sensible thing—she hides. There's a limit to how long Joe Barone is going to tolerate Julia hiding. So what if she has a few issues? They don't detract from her many attributes. She's gorgeous, smart, generous and kind. Which guy wouldn't want a woman like that by his side? So when her grandmother gets arrested in South America, Joe sees a perfect opportunity to show Julia how good they'd be together. Julia needs someone to accompany her to Peru, someone who speaks Spanish and who doesn't crumble in the face of authority. Julia needs Joe. But when they get to Lima, they discover things are much worse than they were led to believe. With danger at every turn and lives on the line, Julia is forced to get past her issues and trust in Joe—her life depends on it.

A wounded veteran, who lost his purpose when he lost his legs in battle, and a single mother who only sees the hero he's become. He's lost his purpose... Callum McKay was an SAS officer when a car bomb took his legs. After his recovery, he became partner in the international security firm that dealt with the things governments weren't able to deal with.As far as Callum was concerned, he was still the same able, competent and commanding guy he was before his accident. And then, he was proven wrong. After a screwed up mission in South America, Callum realized he wasn't an asset to his team. He was a liability. With his purpose and faith in his abilities shattered, Callum turned his back on his security company and returned to the house his grandfather left him in Arness, Scotland. He was no longer fit for action. He was no longer fit for life. He was no use to anyone at all. ...she's giving it back...whether he wants it or not! Single mother Isobel Sinclair has made a lot of stupid decisions in her life. But the dumbest one had to be removing a dead body from the beach outside of her house in the tiny village of Arness. She panicked when she saw the dead man and was too scared to call the police, in case they found out her secrets and threw her in jail. Who would look after her kids if she was gone? No, there was no calling the police. That's why the body ended up in her freezer and she ended up knocking on the door of the most terrifying man in Arness, to ask for his help. A man who was obviously hiding from the world. A man who didn't want to get involved. But a man who wasn't going to get a choice in the matter—because only Callum McKay could help her now.

Ransom
2018
She’s an Oscar-nominated actress from a British acting dynasty. He’s an Atlantic City MMA fighter who grew up on the streets. Together, they’re each other’s only hope of survival. When a new and power-hungry cartel nabs Belinda Collins from her sister’s wedding party at an exclusive jungle resort in Peru, John Garcia, a.k.a. Beast, tries to stop the kidnapping—only to be taken himself. The couple are transported deep into the Amazon rain forest and a ransom is demanded. The pair know that as soon as their kidnappers realize Beast isn’t famous, they’ll consider him surplus to requirements and kill him. Their only hope is escape. But with no jungle experience between them, running into the rain forest could be just as deadly as taking their chances with their kidnappers. With their friends at Benson Security searching for the pair, and the jungle-savvy cartel hunting them down, Beast and Belinda have to work together to get out of the rain forest alive—before someone, or something, ensures they never leave at all. \

Rich

Rachel Ford-Talbot has nothing to do with her family or their pharmaceutical business. And she likes it that way. As one of four partners who own an internationally renowned security business, Rachel prefers to leave her past, with all its secrets, deeply buried. But when a series of thefts reveal that the family business is being targeted for industrial espionage, her father begs Rachel to investigate. His illness makes it hard for her to refuse, but Rachel wonders if he truly understands what he’s unleashing on his company. Because she isn’t the same bright-eyed graduate that walked through their doors years earlier. Now, she’s strong, powerful, and somewhat terrifying. A woman who doesn’t suffer fools lightly and who is afraid of nothing. She also isn’t alone. This time, she has the might and expertise of Benson Security at her back. And an ex-CIA agent at her side—because Michael “Harvard” Carter has appointed himself her bodyguard for the duration. Even though Rachel doesn’t need, or want, the annoyingly sexy man’s help. But while the world sees a first-class bitch when they look at her, Michael sees only someone who intrigues him. Which makes him the biggest threat of all. \

Run
2021
Elle Roberts wants two things in life: One—to find out everything there is to know about the mysterious spy who keeps kissing her, and Two—to stay off her mob family’s radar. That isn’t too much to ask, is it? It’s not like she wants to win the lottery, or live in a Star Wars movie, or be Chris Hemsworth’s personal bather. All she wants is to not be part of a criminal organization and to tie down her elusive, and very sexy, spy—quite literally. After all, she still has a pair of fluffy pink handcuffs going to waste… As for keeping off her family’s radar… That’s a matter of survival. It wasn’t easy growing up in the London Mob. Especially when your father is a certified psychopath who enjoys inflicting pain. So she ran. Totally understandable, right? Unfortunately, her sticky hacker fingers got the better of her before she escaped, and she helped herself to all the information on her family she could find. On reflection, maybe not her smartest move. While she saw this information as insurance, her father viewed it as motivation to find her—hence her current predicament. Her family has found her. And they don’t care who they have to kill to get her back. Because of Elle, her team at Benson Security has gone into hiding. Mobsters are hunting her and willing to hurt anyone who might get in their way. And the cops and every other law enforcement agency on the planet are desperate to get hold of her and turn her into a witness against her family. Oh yeah, and remember the spy who’s been teasing her for years? Well, he’s back too. And he’s brought along a whole heap of secrets of his own. \
