Guarded from Corruption

2024

I never thought it could happen to me. My life was ordinary. Predictable. And as my best friend always reminded me, much too solitary. Still, I couldn’t complain. I had a job I enjoyed. A place of my own. Hobbies. Most days, I thought I was happy. Until the night I was taken. Drugged. Held captive and subjected to tests and exams in a strange and terrifying facility. From what I heard, it was only going to get worse, and escape seemed an impossibility. But they didn’t know just how determined I was. They never considered I could outsmart them. Against all odds, I escaped. The only problem? I’m still in danger, and I don’t know who I can trust to help me. Except for one person. Niall. My best friend’s brother. A man I like more than I should. And the man who has every reason to hate me. I moved to Texas for a new beginning. A new job. A new team. After three years out of the Army, I finally had a purpose again. Then I got the call that brought my past right back to the present. She was the last person I expected to hear from. Not after the harsh words we exchanged; words I still regret years later. But when she asked for my help, there was never a question of going to her. And after hearing her story, I didn’t hesitate to offer my protection. How could I not? She’s not just my little sister’s best friend—Jade’s held a piece of my heart since I met her. Maybe I’m not the right man to be with her. But I’m the right man to protect her. And I’ll do anything to keep her safe. Guarded from Corruption is the first book in the Blade and Arrow Security Bravo Team series. It has a protective alpha hero, a strong and smart heroine, a team of former Green Berets, lots of twists and turns, action and danger, forced proximity, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. No cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after guaranteed! (And expect some cameos from the original Blade and Arrow team!)

Guarded from Sabotage

2024

I never imagined my life could fall apart so quickly. It all started when my credit card was stolen. I chalked it up to bad luck. A minor annoyance. Until more things started happening—fraudulent loans taken out in my name, my bank accounts drained, and I was even accused of a crime I couldn’t possibly have committed. And it became terrifyingly clear this wasn’t just bad luck. This was intentional. Someone was methodically tearing apart my entire life, and when I tried to get help, no one would believe me. As the walls closed in, I kept asking myself, who would do this to me? Where can I turn? Then my best friend connected me with Blade and Arrow Security, and I realized there’s a silver lining in all this. Dante. A man I met once and never forgot. He believes me. And as this identity theft turns to something much more dangerous, he’ll do whatever it takes to protect me. There was a spark from the first time we met. When I met Sarah at our friends’ wedding, there was just something about her that drew me. But she wasn’t available, and I wasn’t looking for a relationship. Not to mention, she lived almost two thousand miles from me. A year and a half later, everything changed. I moved to Texas to start up the new branch of Blade and Arrow Security with a group of former Green Berets, just like me. Not long after, Sarah came to us for help. When I go to meet her, she’s just as amazing as I remember. Beautiful. Smart. Kind. Single. And now we live less than a hundred miles from each other. Close enough to see if this spark between us can turn into something more. Except she’s a client, and I’m in charge of her case. And I’m worried that pursuing a relationship will cloud my focus. Put her in more danger than she already is. But it’s getting harder to deny my feelings for her. And the more time I spend with her, the less I want to. Guarded from Sabotage is the second book in the Blade and Arrow Security Bravo Team series. It has a protective alpha hero, a strong and smart heroine, a team of former Green Berets, lots of twists and turns, action and danger, forced proximity, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. No cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after guaranteed! (Can be read as a standalone!) TW- Brief references to past SA.

Guarded from Treachery

2025

Like a dark and dangerous hero, he came to my rescue when I least expected it. In the midst of a terrifying attack, a mysterious stranger came to my aid. Fierce but gentle, he chased off my attacker, protected, and comforted me. Before he left, my savior told me to call if I ever needed him. Did I think about it? Absolutely. Matt was the most intriguing and handsome man I’d ever met. But that was before my carefully-planned life fell into chaos. Before I began to suspect the fluke attack might be anything but random. No one else believed me when I told them my story, and I couldn’t really blame them. Even to me, it sounded crazy. But there was just something about Matt that made me believe I could trust him. Weeks later, I still couldn’t stop thinking about her. I told myself I was worried about Isla’s safety, and that was true. Though the police dubbed her attack an unfortunate fluke, my gut warned me there might be more to it. That she might still be in danger and I wouldn’t be around the next time to help. It was more than that, though. I liked Isla. Admired her bravery. And her eyes—a deep, mesmerizing violet—were burned into my memory. As the days went by, I debated whether to call her. Because, for all my confidence on the battlefield as a former Green Beret, when it came to women, I always hesitated. Then she called. Said she was in trouble and asked for my help. And once I heard her story, I knew she was right. As a security expert for Blade and Arrow Security, it’s my job to protect. But with Isla, it’s so much more than just a job. It’s protecting the woman I’m falling for. Guarded from Treachery has a sweetly protective hero, a strong and courageous heroine, a team of former Green Berets, lots of twists and turns, action and danger, forced proximity, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. No cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after guaranteed! (Can be read as a standalone!)

Guarded from Retribution

2025

When I left the Army, I didn’t just lose my teammate, I lost my best friend. And even though he never came out and said it, I knew I was the one he blamed. Did we still talk? Sure. Monthly texts about nothing and empty promises of visits that never panned out. But losing Hawk—the man I admired most in the world, the man I secretly loved—felt like losing a piece of myself. When he showed up unexpectedly to help our team with security for an event, I was surprised. Hurt that he never told me he was coming. But deep down I still hoped we could find some remnant of the friendship we used to have. But of all the things I imagined from his visit, nearly being killed right in front of him wasn't one of them. And as I opened my eyes to find a terrified Hawk kneeling over me, I couldn't help but wonder if he felt some fraction of what I did for him. Seeing Rhiannon lying on the ground, bruised and bloody, threw everything into terrifying perspective. I failed her once already. There’s no way I’ll allow it to happen again. After all, we used to be teammates. More than that. She was my best friend. I was supposed to always have her six. I thought I did up until the night she told the us the terrible truth—that she’d been harassed and threatened by our superior for years. And she never told us until it got so bad she was forced to leave the Army. I should have seen how she was suffering. I should have protected her. Then again, Rhiannon never wanted to be protected. As one of the first female Green Berets, she wanted to prove herself. Stand on her own. But even the strongest people need help sometimes. And this time, I’m not going anywhere. Because I’ll do anything to protect the woman I love. Guarded from Retribution is a friends-to-lovers romance with a brave and intelligent heroine, a protective hero, action and danger, emotional wounds and angst, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. No cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after guaranteed! (Can be read as a standalone!)
Guarded from Havoc book cover

Guarded from Havoc

2025

I knew it was a risk venturing over to my new neighbor’s cabin during the storm. After all, I barely knew him. All I’d learned from our chance meeting in the woods was that he was visiting the Adirondacks on a well-deserved vacation, he used to serve in the Army, and he was the most handsome man I’d ever seen. The last part definitely made the whole knocking on a near-stranger’s door offering food and flashlights idea more appealing. When he invited me inside, I nearly said no. But there was just something about Erik that told me I could trust him. That if I didn’t accept his offer, I’d end up regretting it. Then four masked intruders stormed the cabin, with both of us in it. And nothing could have prepared me for what would come next. I should have been able to defend myself from anything. I used to be Special Forces, after all. Now, I work for one of the top private security companies in the country. But when Tatum’s life was threatened, I had no choice but to concede. To accept whatever was waiting for me after. Waking up in the middle of the woods with an unconscious Tatum nearby wasn’t a promising start. Finding out we’ve been dumped into the middle of a sinister game is even worse. A deadly game it’s clear we’re not supposed to survive. But there’s no way I’m letting anything else happen to Tatum. I’m getting her out of here, no matter what it takes. And once we escape, I’m going to see her again. Because I’m not losing the first woman I could see a future with. Guarded from Havoc has a wounded warrior hero, a brave and intelligent heroine, a team of former Green Berets, lots of action and danger, thrilling twists, forced proximity, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. No cliffhangers and a happily-ever-after guaranteed! (Can be read as a standalone!)
