Nalia is on the run from the Russian mob. The survival skills her father’s soldier taught her years ago have finally come into play. She’s scared, she’s all alone, and there’s no one to trust—or so she thinks—as an old flame tracks her down to rescue her. The soldier she longed to have years ago is back and with his team. Their job is to protect her with their lives. Her entire life is turned upside down, and there seems to be no future but one of hiding and living in a world where enemies have no faces. Through out her entire life the number 13 has brought nothing but bad luck and bad memories. That same number comes into play time and time again leading her to a life she is destined to be part of. Meeting Team 13 clarifies her destiny, and nothing else seems to matter but loving them.

People seem to be more interested in my name than where I get my ideas for my stories from. So I might as well share the story behind my name with all my readers. My momma was born and raised in New Orleans. At the age of twenty, she met and fell in love with an Irishman named Patrick Riley Dwyer. Needless to say, the family was a bit taken aback by this as they hoped she would marry a family friend. It was a modern day arranged marriage kind of thing and my momma downright refused. Being that my momma’s families were descendents of the original English speaking southerners, they wanted the family blood line to stay pure. They were wealthy and my father’s family was poor. Despite attempts by my grandpapa to make Patrick leave and destroy the love between them, my parents married. They recently celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary. I am one of six children born to Patrick and Lynn Dwyer. I am a combination of both Irish and a true southern belle. With a name like Dixie Lynn Dwyer it’s no wonder why people are curious about my name. Just as my parents had a love story of their own, I grew up intrigued by the lifestyles of others. My imagination as well as my need to stray from the straight and narrow made me into the woman I am today.
