One bad decision, one reckless night, and one run in with his demons left Trevor McCall suspended in an unbreachable sleep.

Thanks to a cutting-edge-medical trial, Trevor wakes from his ten-year-long slumber to a world that’s completely changed. His body is broken, his family ties are in tatters, his dreams and memory are long gone, leaving him wondering why he’s still alive, and what he has left to live for.

With the death of her ruthless brother, Dr. Brook Davenport has been given a chance at redemption for a night that has haunted her for the last ten years. She returns to the home she’s avoided all those years in hopes of healing her savior.

As the secrets of their shared past are exposed, Trevor and Brooke fight to right the wrongs, putting their hearts and lives at risk in the process.

When it seems the world is against them, will love be enough to save them?

 

UPDATES

November was filled with traveling. We visited Maryland, DC and Virginia at the first of the month and Latrobe Pennsylvania later in the month. It never ceases to amaze me all the amazing things to see in our country.

I have to admit one of my favorite things to do while in DC was to visit the International Spy Museum. I got a glimpse at what it would be like to be a spy. Right up my alley.

Whatever it takes. As long as it takes.

Talon King carries the weight of his father’s legacy and his family’s expectations. As the oldest son of one of Guardian Security’s founding team members and now a team leader stepping into the shoes of Ronan Alexander, Talon proves himself in a world of violence and danger where there are no easy days. Yet, he’s a man who gets the job done—but always on his terms.
Riley Shoemaker is rich and privileged, and she knows it, but her life is thrown into chaos when pirates kidnap her in a remote part of the world. Rescued by Talon and his elite team, she assumes her father sent him to bring her home. But Riley soon discovers that her father may not be the man she thought he was—and Talon’s mission is far more complicated than saving her.
As Talon and Riley make their way through deceit, betrayal, and hidden truths, they are forced to rely on each other in ways neither expected. In the midst of danger, their connection grows stronger, and passion flares. But with secrets unraveling, can they trust what’s in front of them?
From the USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Kings of Guardian®, Guardian Defenders®, and Guardian Security Shadow World® comes the next chapter in the epic Guardian Security Dynasty saga. Prepare for action, suspense, and a love that will change everything.

WHAT I'M READING

Sleigh Bells and Snowstorms

by Claire Kingsely

The perfect read for the season

Grab it

From USA Today Bestselling author Claire Kingsley, the stand-alone small-town/romcom/romantic suspense/Christmas romance you didn’t know you needed.

Handsome, charismatic, and charming, Jensen Lakes is an enigma in a designer suit. But his playboy reputation is a persona—one of many—that he uses in his unique line of work.

A priceless heirloom goes missing right before the holidays, and Jensen is hired to find it. Tracking down the perpetrator will be simple. He’ll be in and out before Santa hits chimneys.

Natalie Thatcher needs a break. She’s a dedicated sister, aunt, and nurse, but her life is no Christmas carol. Between bills, mounting home repairs, and holiday shopping still to be done, most days she feels like a tangled strand of lights.

Jensen follows his quarry to Tilikum, and the Christmas-clad town throws him for a loop. As does Natalie. He enlists her aid—who better to help him navigate the local quirks than the captivating woman next door? Despite their chemistry and sizzling banter, love isn’t on his Christmas list. Or hers.

But as danger mounts, Jensen finds himself in an unexpected position—falling in love with his partner. And when her life is on the line, he’ll risk everything to keep her safe.

And get her home for Christmas.

Author’s Note: A handsome charmer falls hard for a sassy small-town girl. Adventure, witty banter, Christmas coziness, and a holiday happily ever after that will leave your heart full.

Sleigh Bells and Snowstorms can be read as a stand-alone romance.

Casey

The first time I saw the hot construction worker, I wanted him so much that I acted out of character and initiated a kiss one night. It was the hottest and best kiss of my life. Then he promptly ghosted me.

Months later, he shows up at my dad’s pediatric clinic with his sick, adorable little boy who I didn’t even know he had. He's rude and still hot as sin, but the heart wants what the heart wants.

When I learn of his past, It does nothing to stop my growing love for him and his son, even as he uses me then pushes me away again and again. I’m trying to stay strong, but I’m failing. I know I deserve better, even as he brings all my insecurities about not being wanted to the forefront.

I have to stand up for myself, or he will break me completely.

Gage

From the moment I saw her I was attracted to her, and then one night, she kissed me, and I wanted her completely. The more I desired her, the guiltier I felt. My son and I are both traumatized from our past, and I’m trying to make ends meet while she lives in the lap of luxury. She’s completely out of my league.

When demons from my past resurface, my need to protect her is fierce even as I continue to push her away. I need to stop or eventually I’ll end up breaking her spirit.

I might have already.

I’m not worthy of forgiveness, but I wish for it anyway.

And as my son and I fall deeper in love with her, I begin to hope for the impossible—a second chance at happiness even when I know I don’t deserve it.

I write dark romance. I currently have one book, A Web of Secrets & Lies, which I self published with Amazon KDP earlier this year and I'm currently working on my second book.

I'm a mum and wife and with the support of my husband I've been able to fulfill my dream of writing. It's something I've always wanted to do. I've always had stories running around my mind but never been able to put them on paper before because I didn't have time.

Secret Haven by

Catherine Cowles

Grab it

BLURB

The first time I met Kyler Blackwood, he was a bruised and battered boy with fire in his eyes and nowhere safe to land.

Since the first time he kissed me, he was my best-kept secret, my quiet rebellion, my haven in the storm.

But fate forced us apart, making us pretend to be strangers because it hurt too much to be anything else.

Years later, time hasn’t dulled what we felt, has never erased the way we fit. And when Kye’s past collides with my present, everything shifts.

It’s a choice neither of us expected.
A bond that never really broke.
A line we were never meant to cross.

We tell ourselves it’s only temporary, that the arrangement is just a means to an end. But with each passing day, the lie feels more like the truth. And with each stolen touch, Kye feels more like mine. Because some things were never meant to be pretend.

And some dangers are closer than we ever imagined...
