Growing up with three brothers, Freya Olysses is no stranger to overbearing males who supposedly only have her best interest at heart. But that didn’t prepare her for her infuriating new bodyguard, who is as rigid as he is delectable. Hired to protect the Olysses mafia princess, Gunner Anderson is settling in for an easy job. After all, how hard can it be to protect the spoiled heiress? But what started out as just another job soon turns into a battle of wills. But when enemies close in, Gunner is the only one Freya can trust to keep her safe. And maybe he isn’t as arrogant and bossy as she first thought. But can a princess and her bodyguard ever have a future together? This is the prequel novella to Stealth, the first book in the Locked Security series. Gunner and Freya’s story concludes in the novel Stealth. Note from the author: Please don’t start throwing tomatoes or one-star reviews at me after reading this novella and realizing there is more to Freya and Gunner’s HEA. This is a prequel to the full story, and will hopefully give you a glimpse into the characters and my writing. That way you won’t go into the novel blind, and know what to expect. Happy reading!

Some mistakes are worth repeating. Freya Olysses loves her quiet life in the sleepy little town of Ferguson. She’s made a home where she least expected to. Until her past catches up with her in the form of a six-foot-something behemoth she never wanted to see again. Now she’s not only running for her life, but also trying not to repeat past mistakes. Gunner Anderson has seen it all. A decorated war veteran who now owns his own security firm, he is an expert in his field. His authority is never in question, his commands followed without delay. Until Freya. The first person who refuses to play by the rules and challenges him at every turn. But if there is one thing he can’t resist, it’s a challenge. Game on. This is the first book in the Locked Security series and an enemies-to-lovers, second-chance romantic suspense.

Not all villains deserve redemption. When Everleigh Bennet’s brother disappears without a trace in the wilderness of Guyana, she sets off on a trip to bring him back home. But instead of finding answers, she gets caught up with the local cartel. Out of options and time, she finds solace in the most unlikely of places. Lucius Costa never thought he’d be capable of betraying his team. But to save his daughter, he became the very thing he’d always despised: a traitor. Cast out, he takes on an impossible mission that leads him back onto a dark path he thought he’d never walk again. But when shy Everleigh bursts into his life, he knows in order to save her, he’ll risk it all. Even if it means missing his one chance at redemption. This is the second book in the Locked Security series and a single dad, forced proximity romantic suspense. Note from the author: In order not to get kicked out of the good (okay goodish.... fine, sometimes good) girls club, I’d like to point out that this is a steamy romance, and my characters use bad language (sometimes) and like to get it on. There’s no cheating and all my books have a HEA.
