Protecting Harper
2021
Michael “Flint” Gray is a Navy SEAL forced into retirement by a personal secret that could shorten his life and trap him in a nightmare. A former teammate gives Flint a new lease on life when he offers Flint a job in Colorado with Watchdog Protectors, a security company with its own secrets. Flint has the chance to meet and learn from Tex Keegan for a week while the computer genius and his wife Melody are visiting—Tex for work and Melody for a much-deserved vacation. Flint is no stranger to Colorado. It’s where he met, loved, and lost the woman of his dreams ten years ago. Harper Marling knows she’s a dead woman walking. Her charming narcissist ex-husband has done his best to ruin her life from the minute she reached for freedom. Now, she’s on the cusp of taking down the powerful multi-millionaire and reclaiming her life, if she can keep her plans a secret. Blackballed from her job as a medical researcher, Harper’s just taken a temporary job with Watchdog Protectors when she runs into the man who broke her heart a decade ago. Harper isn't sure if she’s ready to love again, but Flint gives her a reason to try as he stirs a slumbering passion deep inside her. James isn't done trying to destroy Harper. If he can't have her, no one can, let alone a retired SEAL-turned-bodyguard. Can Harper trust Flint, Tex, and Watchdog Protectors to have her six? Or will James’ deadly game of cat-and-mouse end Harper’s life—in service to a darker purpose? Protecting Harper is the first book in the Watchdog Protectors Series which branches off from the Watchdog Security Series by Olivia Michaels. Each book can be read as a standalone with an HEA but they do have reoccurring characters.

Protecting Brianna
2021
Retired Navy SWCC (Swick) Brock “Badger” Jones has just left California to start a new job at Watchdog Protectors in Colorado when he ‘rescues’ a beautiful woman from a rushing stream—only to have her accuse him of trying to steal her fiddle. Brock is doing security for the upcoming music festival and Brianna is a tempting distraction from the grief of losing his best friend and teammate during a SpecOp meant to save a SEAL team. All her life, Brianna has wanted one thing—to become a professional musician so she can escape the bad reputation her small town has given her. Two things stand in the way: her overprotective uncle who expects her to stay put and work in the family coffee shop, and her near-crippling fear of letting anyone watch her perform. When she sees a drop-dead gorgeous man walking off with her fiddle, she never dreams he’s the one who will give her the courage to pursue her musical ambitions. Brianna has a shot at winning The Best New Artist contest at the local music festival. But one mysterious accident after another threatens to end her budding music career—and her life. Is one of the famous judges the target or is it Brianna herself? With the help of Wolf, Caroline, and Tex, Brock must protect Brianna and win her heart. Or will the forces menacing the festival decide the music is over once and for all?

Protecting Sylvie (Special Forces
2023
A passionate instructor, a student with a secret, a fiery romance neither expected. Will her secrets be the end of not only their relationship, but Watchdog Protectors as well? Retired Navy SEAL and military working dog handler Alex Hoff came to Colorado hoping to find peace in a small town tucked against the Rocky Mountains. He never expected to fall for a feisty police officer enrolled in the advanced police dog training class he teaches at Watchdog Protectors. Besides being a dog lover, Sylvie is smart, beautiful, and committed to doing good in the world. For now they must keep their relationship a secret until Sylvie graduates to the K9 Unit. Officer Sylvia Madden would never admit to being in over her head. She’s seen everything from both sides and chose police work to pay forward the protection that saved her as a kid living alone on the streets of Denver. When she’s sabotaged within her own department, she must decide if she can continue her secret relationship with Alex or give up the man she loves to keep him safe. As their romance heats up so does the danger surrounding their small town of Lyons, Colorado. When the last night of the local music festival turns deadly and Sylvie goes missing, Alex, Tex, Wolf, and the Watchdog team must find the truth. Is she a corrupt cop, or a pawn in a global game? And will Alex and the team have to make a deal with the devil to get her back?
