Outside Protocol
2009
Rules surrounded her every day. It was just the way life was. Robyn didn't question it until she ran into Jace and Nash. It was hard to believe there were men who lived outside all the rules she'd been living under. One bite of forbidden fruit and she was hooked, unwilling to close her eyes to the temptation again. Not that anyone might blame her, one stunning male was enough to tempt a girl to sin…two was impossible to resist. But it couldn't last. People just didn't fall in love in numbers of three. The sweet temptation of it haunted her though, as Jace and Nash refused to leave her. They pushed their way right into her life and took her with them when they faded back into the shadowy world they lived in. Special Forces, guns and betrayal should have turned her away but it only added more fascination to her growing addiction to remain with them. Without rules, the possibilities were endless and even love wasn't out of the question.As long as you lived outside of protocol.

Challenge Protocol
2009
Cambria is no stranger to hot men or hot loving. She likes her relationships simple—hot, satisfying and under her control. Until Dack and Logan walk into her life. Now nothing's simple, and she's losing control. Two hot, hard men who live together, work together and love together, and the woman they want is her. Getting them out of her head, her bed, or her life isn't working. Choosing between them isn't an option. A vengeful enemy has forced Dack and Logan to live a life spent watching each other's backs, 24/7. That includes in the bedroom. Nowhere is safe. Love affairs are brief. But Cambria is a lady neither of them can resist. With her sassy attitude and passionate nature, she touches some part of them they'd thought dead. Stormy passion and tender touches tempt the two battle-scarred warriors with a taste of the forbidden, but how to keep the woman they both want safe, and in their bed? This is a sequel to Outside Protocol, although it can be read as a stand-alone.

Point of Combustion
2009
Brought up in a strict Asian-American family where tradition is everything and virtue is golden, Mia Kerstin is a good girl who longs to be bad. But the "suitable" young men her family parades past her are about as exciting as watching mold grow. Until fate steps in and thrusts her into Trace's Kocourek's solid arms.Helping out his Special Forces buddies by protecting Mia from a relentless enemy ends up being more about keeping his hands off, than his eyes wide open. And that's the problem—he can't stop touching the sensual virgin, and she's putting his self-control to the ultimate test. When Mia decides she wants to take a lover, Trace is the only man for the job—he'll kill anyone else who touches her.As the danger escalates and the threat becomes a matter of life and death, keeping Mia safe ceases being a favor to a buddy and becomes a personal imperative for the jaded and tough ex-soldier. Mia is his. No ifs or buts. He's playing for Set slightly concurrent to Challenge Protocol, this story shares the same "world" and linked characters, but can be read as a stand-alone.

Possession Protocol
2012
Beck Corbett left something behind when he followed his team. Something he’s been unable to forget, someone still haunting his dreams. Seneca should have forgotten Beck. In fact, she made it a priority to get past the special ops sniper, but her heart isn’t listening. She isn’t prepared for the moment he walks back into her life just as abruptly as he left it—or the lust she feels for his partner, Marshall Satuik. Beck’s still everything she can’t resist, and Marshall is a temptation she can’t ignore. But hopping into bed with them scares her. What if they disappear again? Men like Beck and Marshall don’t live their lives in the open. They melt back into the shadows without a trace. But Seneca’s in trouble and Beck never takes any threat lightly. They’re not budging until the threat is neutralized. Which means Seneca has to face up to her desire for both men or risk losing it all… Set in the same world as Challenge Protocol, Outside Protocol and Point of Combustion.
