It’s been years since Milena Reinhardt has seen TJ “Rock” Rockwell. The last time, he was nearly a shell of a man…but he was her man…and he tore her heart out of her chest. Circumstances unbeknownst to TJ have ensured Milena’s never fully recovered. TJ left his sniper days behind—for the most part—when he left the Army and become a respected Texas Highway Patrolman. He also left behind Milena. He’s convinced it was the right thing to do at the time, but that doesn’t mean he’s ever forgotten the woman who loved him in his greatest time of need…or has stopped thinking of her since. Neither thought they’d see each other again, until a pedophile’s operation is taken down and the evil man sets his vengeful sights on Milena. This could be their second chance, even though TJ and Milena have enough secrets and trust issues to end any relationship before it starts. But when the bad guy closes in, they’ll have to set aside their fears and trust in each other, to save the one thing that means the world to them both. ** Justice for Milena is the 10th book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings. ** TJ and Milena face a truly nasty foe. While his sins are never described on the page, certain basic information is included for the characters to grasp the full breadth of the villain’s evilness. For my more delicate readers, please remember…good always triumphs over evil. --- Read what others are saying about New York Times bestselling author, Susan Stoker: "Susan Stoker is the master of military romantic suspense.

Sam never thought she'd actually be chosen for a reality show--but the next thing she knew, she was whisked away to Australia.

They think they're in a no-strings-attached relationship...until danger reveals the truth. ​​​​​​​Friends with benefits. That's all Ashlyn wanted with Slate. They were certainly combustible in the bedroom, and that was sufficient...wasn't it? Yes, definitely. He was too bossy. Too protective. She didn't want someone hovering, wanting to know her every move and telling her she was too reckless. But then again, knowing someone cared enough to worry about her felt kind of nice. Not to mention the more she was around Slate, and the more she learned about him, the harder it was to ignore her feelings. Duncan "Slate" Stone had never been with a woman like Ashlyn. She was impulsive, spontaneous, argumentative, and way too nonchalant about her safety. She drove him completely crazy...and he couldn't stay away from her. The sex was out-of-this-world amazing, but just being near her, even if they did nothing but talk, made him just as happy. Clearly their laid-back arrangement worked. No need to rock the boat...right? When she unexpectedly finds herself in the middle of a deadly situation, Ashlyn realizes that having an overprotective boyfriend isn't such a bad thing. And Slate discovers his feelings for Ashlyn are anything but casual. But both those discoveries could be too little, too late. ** Finding Ashlyn is the 6th book in the SEAL Team Hawaii Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

She thought being a POW was the worst thing that could happen to her…she was wrong. Navy Nurse Avery Nelson never dreamed she’d be taken hostage during her deployment in Afghanistan. She’s assisting local women with healthcare, not fighting in a war. But digging her way out of her would-be grave turns out to be the battle of her life. She’s not the type to simply lay down and die, or sit around crying, waiting for someone to save her…though Avery can’t deny it’s a massive relief when the very SEAL she’s been flirting with for months comes to her rescue. Cole “Rex” Kingston has saved his fair share of women over his time as a SEAL, but no mission has ever seemed as important as the one to find Avery Nelson. Digging the woman out of the rubble of a mountainside in Afghanistan hammers home to them both just how short life is, and they waste no time acting on their attraction, getting closer as Cole helps Avery deal with the aftermath of her ordeal. But someone isn’t happy that Avery didn’t die in the mountains…and they’ll do anything to make sure she doesn’t live long enough to talk about what she might’ve heard and seen while deployed. ** Securing Avery is the 5th book in the SEAL of Protection: Legacy Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings. --- Read what others are saying about New York Times bestselling author, Susan Stoker: "Susan Stoker is the master of military romantic suspense.

If life gave you a second chance at love, would you be willing to risk everything for happiness? Caite McCallan is a Department of Defense admin working in Bahrain when a glitchy elevator, of all things, leads to an unexpected invitation to dinner by a gorgeous Navy SEAL. When he later stands her up, Caite’s understandably upset…until she overhears a plot that confirms Rocco didn’t blow her off. Instead, he and two fellow SEALs are in danger—and Caite is forced to put her career and her life on the line to save them. Blake “Rocco” Wise never expected his routine mission to go sideways, but he was even more surprised to find himself and his teammates rescued by the adorably shy woman he met in a stalled elevator. Caite’s selfless act saved his life, but when attempts on her own make it clear someone wants her gone, it’s Rocco’s turn to protect the brave, sweet, sexy woman. The longer he knows her, the more he wants her…but keeping Caite close could bring her nearer to the enemy than ever before. ** Securing Caite is the 1st book in the SEAL of Protection: Legacy Series.

She thought secrets would tear them apart; instead, they brought them together. Khloe Moore has secrets. She came to Fallport, Virginia, under false pretenses, only intending to stay for a short while. Over a year later, she's found the town has everything she's ever wanted, including friends, a supportive community, and a boss she kinda wants to smack-sometimes with her lips, sometimes with her hand. But when Raiden's beloved dog is in serious medical danger, all of Khloe's secrets come spilling out when she risks her privacy to save him. Since leaving the Coast Guard, Raiden Walker has lived a quiet life as the town librarian. But he has secrets of his own. Horrors from his last mission in the military. Torments he endured as a kid. What he does in his basement every Friday night... It's easier to keep his head down and avoid tight connections, even with the men he spends time with on the Eagle Point Search and Rescue team. His four-legged search partner is his best friend. And when his bloodhound's life is in peril, the last person he expects to save him is Raid's equally standoffish library employee. Khloe and Raiden never thought they'd find the one thing they'd always longed for in each other-a loving partner. They'd sniped at one other for so long, once they stopped trying to hide their true selves, they were blindsided by their connection. Settling into their newfound relationship is exciting...but hardly smooth sailing. Both have skeletons in their closets that aren't content to stay put. On top of that, a member of their community is doing his best to discredit them both. They'll have to fight to build a life together in the small town they consider home. And it will take each and every one of their friends-people only too happy to accept them exactly as they are-to ensure they get their happy ending. ** Searching for Khloe is the seventh and final book in the Eagle Point Search & Rescue Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings. ***Bad things happened to our hero in the past, and even worse, to his loyal canine coworker, so please be aware before reading. Justifiably, something equally horrible happens to his enemy. Which might technically require a warning, but...we think you'll agree that anyone who harms animals deserves to suffer.

Getting a second chance at love is great, but at the cost of being stranded in the Alaskan wilderness wasn’t how she imagined it would happen. After an unstable childhood, Zoey Knight landed in Juneau, Alaska, during high school, and has never left. Now in her early thirties, she lives a quiet life that includes part-time caretaker for a beloved father figure. Despite the stability, she occasionally wishes for more adventure. She gets more than she bargained for when a plane she’s in goes down in a remote stretch of wilderness—and the only other passenger is a man she’s crushed on for years. Life as a SEAL doesn’t allow for much spare time, but Mark “Bubba” Wright still regrets not trying harder to visit his pop. Now it’s too late, and the guilt is heavy when he heads to Alaska for the reading of his father’s will. The only bright spot is finding a girl he knew in high school on the same tiny plane. The same woman, it turns out, who’s been taking care of his pop…a girl he crushed on in high school. Struggling to survive in the Alaska back country isn’t the kind of second chance either envisioned, but relying on each other makes Zoey and Bubba’s rekindled attraction hotter than ever. Funny how puzzling out who might want them dead can bring a couple closer together… ** Securing Zoey is the 4th book in the SEAL of Protection: Legacy Series.

So you’d think meeting him for the second time at the scene of her own car accident would be enough to warn her away. But Koren can’t resist the sexy firefighter. A little drama might be worth the risk…even when an unknown threat starts targeting Taco’s friends. Someone’s setting fires, and the danger’s escalating with each blaze. Koren and Taco can only pray the culprit is caught before their relationship—and their lives—go up in smoke. Shelter for Penelope The world sees a princess, but she believes she's a coward.

She usually didn’t rely on others, but this was one time she really wouldn’t mind if her Texas Ranger boyfriend suddenly showed up. Reluctantly taking her best friend’s place at a photo shoot, realtor Laine Parker expects to assist the photographer for the day…not drool over the volunteer model, Westin King. The Texas Ranger and real-life cowboy is hot-on-hot sexy, from the tips of his boots to the top of his Stetson. Despite her visceral reaction to the man, the last thing Laine expects is a whirlwind romance—but that’s exactly what she gets. Wes has been around the block enough to know what he wants, and he wants Laine. He wastes no time showing her how he feels…but he may never get the chance to tell her. Laine has disappeared, and it will take every connection Wes has—and a little help from a mangy stray—to get her back in his arms. * Justice for Laine is book 4 in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes series.

Ford Truck Laughlin et Mary Weston ont surmonté leur part de tempête durant ces deux dernières années. Le travail de Truck, la santé de Mary. Son autorité à lui, son cran à elle. Tout cela en esquivant l'attirance intense qu'ils éprouvent l'un pour l'autre. Si Mary essaye de repousser Truck, c'est pour son bien, mais il ne la laisse pas renoncer... ni à elle, ni à eux. Juste au moment où elle décide qu'ils méritent une chance, un désastre les frappe. Truck est attiré par Mary depuis la première fois qu'il l'a vue. Cette femme épineuse le fait vibrer, d'autant qu'elle voit au-delà de son physique effrayant, prouesse que peu de femmes ont réussie. Ses projets de faire passer cette relation à un autre niveau sont interrompus lorsqu'il est blessé en mission. À peine sent-il son ancien moi revenir que le couple doit affronter une nouvelle tempête, de celles qui pourraient mettre un terme définitif à leurs chances... et à leur vie. ** Un héros pour Mary est le neuvième tome de la série Delta Force Heroes. D'habitude, mes livres sont des romans qui peuvent se lire indépendamment les uns des autres, mais pour celui-ci, vous en retireriez plus de plaisir en lisant les autres titres d'abord, puisque la relation entre Mary et Truck évolue au cours des tomes précédents. En tout cas, je vous recommande de lire le premier de la série, Un héros pour Rayne, dans lequel leur relation a commencé.

Si abbassano tutte le difese nel quinto romanzo della Ace Security di Susan Stoker, autrice di bestseller per il New York Times. Anziché essere lusingata, Sarah Butler è arrabbiata e innervosita. Ha ricevuto strani regali da un uomo che conosce a malapena. Ancora niente di minaccioso, ma avverte una strana vibrazione impossibile da ignorare. Si rivolge dunque alla Ace Security. La loro soluzione: lezioni di autodifesa alla Rock Hard Gym con un pratico istruttore privato. Uno sguardo al macho barbuto, tatuato e dagli occhi verdi è sufficiente a far innamorare Sarah. Cole Johnson è sicuramente l'uomo giusto per aiutarla. Non vede l'ora di allenarla, ansioso di conoscerla meglio. Per quanto riguarda le intuizioni di Sarah, Cole sa che lei non si sta inventando nulla. Così come non si sta inventando l'intensa chimica tra loro, rendendo Cole sempre più desideroso di proteggerla. Ma lo stesso vale per le paure di Sarah: quando lei scompare, si avvera la paura più grande di entrambi.

Un baiser impulsif, un ex jaloux et son avenir en danger. Avec tout ça, il se pourrait bien qu'il soit exactement ce dont elle a besoin. Dans une tentative éperdue pour se débarrasser une bonne fois pour toutes de son ex, Aspen Mesmer demande à un parfait inconnu de l'embrasser. Mais elle ne s'attend pas à cette connexion immédiate. Même si elle a déjà affaire à un soldat inébranlable, Aspen serait folle d'ignorer l'alchimie intense qu'elle partage avec l'agent de la Delta Force. Mieux encore, il lui montre le respect qu'elle reçoit rarement dans cette profession quasi-exclusivement masculine. Il est évident qu'elle ne connaîtra jamais cette camaraderie dont elle rêve avec son propre peloton, mais peut-être... seulement peut-être... vivra-t-elle cela avec Kane et son équipe. Kane Temple, surnommé Brain, n'est pas le genre d'homme que les femmes dévorent des yeux. Ainsi, quand Aspen lui fait clairement comprendre son intérêt après leur baiser explosif sur un coup de tête, il est aux anges. Infirmière de guerre affectée auprès d'une équipe de Rangers, Aspen est une femme impressionnante. Elle est peut-être l'une des seules capables non seulement d'accepter les missions fréquentes de Brain, mais aussi de comprendre à quel point elles sont dangereuses. Petit bonus: ses tendances geeks ne semblent pas la déranger. On dirait qu'Aspen est faite pour lui. Mais son ex n'est pas de cet avis. Il supporte mal le rejet d'Aspen et sa relation naissante avec Brain. C'est humiliant d'être remplacé par un Delta, et il est prêt à tout pour le lui faire regretter. Absolument tout... ** Un refuge pour Aspen est le 3e tome de la série Delta Force Deux. Tous les tomes peuvent se lire séparément et ne se terminent pas sur un suspense.
