Protected Hearts
2024
She asked for a protector. She got a fake husband. Who knew he could be all she needs and so much more?
When Oaks Malone sees a woman abducted on the street, his military training kicks in and he hatches a plan to rescue her. What he never expected was marrying her to keep her from becoming a pawn in a dangerous plot devised by a terrorist group. Oaks also didn’t anticipate feeling so protective of his new ward…who now bears his last name.
Shiloh knows far too much about her sleazy ex making deals with terrorists. Now she’s caught in a terrifying tug-of-war between them. While Oaks and the Black Heart Security team work to keep her safe, she finds something very unexpected on their Wyoming ranch—peace. The beautiful views are just as enthralling as her new husband’s steely gray eyes. And his kisses and rough hands provide the perfect distraction from her fears. Problem is, he’s too good to be true.
Nothing about this relationship feels fake, not when the ice around Oaks’s heart cracks a little more each time Shiloh looks at him. With time running out and danger closing in, Oaks and Shiloh can’t afford a single misstep. But she’s quickly seeing that the biggest risk in this game might be her heart.
A ruthless ex-military bodyguard and a hunted woman who’s forced into marrying him join forces in more ways than one. This opposites attract action and adventure romance is your next 1-CLICK.
Fans of Anna Hackett, Susan Stoker and Riley Edwards will BINGE the Black Heart Security series!

Hunted Hearts
2025
A hunted violinist. A haunted SEAL. Trust is their only shot at survival—desire might be their downfall.
Theo Malone doesn’t know how to live a quiet life—not after everything he’s seen as a Navy SEAL. Back home on his family’s Wyoming ranch, he’s restless…until his next mission lands in his lap. Guard a violinist? It sounds simple. Until he meets her.
Juliette de Laroque plays for sold-out crowds, wears couture like armor and has a team of people helping her do what she loves most. Her violin music raises money for a Romanian orphanage close to her heart—but lately, the chilling messages and suspicious mishaps backstage have her thinking she’s struck a darker chord. When her manager hires a security team, she expects a stiff suit. She gets Theo. All muscle, grit and smoldering intensity.
But nothing about this assignment is routine. When danger gets too close, Theo whisks Juliette away to the only place he trusts—his family’s ranch, where she discovers more than just peace. She finds people who care…and a protector who’s already given her his body and might just surrender his heart.
Only Juliette’s stalker isn’t backing down. With every note she plays, danger closes in. But Theo will protect her on stage, in the shadows and in his arms…even if it costs him everything.
If you love a bodyguard who does more than protect with his muscled body, and a passionate and bold heroine thrown out of her element with a man who is her total opposite—or is he?—HUNTED HEARTS is your next 1-CLICK! Binge the entire BLACK HEART SECURITY series now!
