Three years ago Giffin Reese fell for the man of her dreams. But it wasn't meant to be. She was already married to a good man. A man who believed in her. Needed her. Loved her. Sometimes in life we do what it calls upon us to do.

It wasn't your everyday protection detail of a Senator plus trophy wife. First, she was no trophy. She came with brains and an attitude. Just what he liked. And two, the case was all kinds of screwed up. A threat with no name on it. Maybe even a leak. And it all turned to hell when the Senator got taken down by a sniper shot.

Devon Monroe still doesn't know what the hell went wrong that day. But he's not going to let it happen again. Someone's serious with an itchy trigger finger, and this time the target is squarely pointed at a certain Senator's beautiful widow. But not if he can help it. It'll take everything he has to set things right, clear his conscience, and prove himself to her. Even if it means dying, trying.

Love and Bullets is an action packed steamroller of mystery, suspense, and rekindled desire. Come join Devon and Giffin as they race against the clock, explore their hearts, and dodge bullets in this story of secrets, deception, betrayal, and love.

Sparks fly and so do the bullets!

Love and Leaving is a story about nothing being safe, but in life, having everything to gain . . . at a cost. Jack and Emma will have to decide what is worth it and what isn't.

He's coming, and she's leaving!

ISBN: 978-0692212103

ASIN: B00K7J85EM

Book Description:

Maddie Monroe has had better days. And made better choices. When she wakes up kidnapped--used for bait--and in more danger than she could have ever imagined, it's all she can do to hope that she'll live to regret telling Seamus no.

Ex-Navy Seal Seamus Kincaid knows that the only easy day was yesterday. And in his line of work, enemies happen. He just never thought anyone would use Maddie to get to him. And now her life is on the line.

Maddie's dimples bring hard men to their knees, and her smoothies make them beg for more. She's smart, funny, and just one of the guys. She wields a computer like Seamus wields a knife. And she's a spunky ray of sunshine in skinny jeans and a bop-tail who gives his serious, get-it-done attitude the adjustment it needs. She's happiness in his life, until he scares the hell out of her on a mission gone bad, and she can't deal. Letting her go won't be easy, but losing her forever is unacceptable

Love and Revenge is a story about facing your fears, fighting for what's important, and learning that you can't control life--you can only decide which life you want to live.

Fight for love - die for revenge!

Character Name:  Madison “Maddie” Monroe

Character Bio:  Maddie Monroe is a happy, hardworking thirty-something who has found family and acceptance working with her brother, Devon Monroe, at his private security firm, Secure Technologies Incorporated.  She is the primary Operations Controller for all missions, which means she provides the necessary background info needed to prep, and she is the primary point of contact at STI for their men in the field when the operations go live.

At 5’9”, she’s tall, thin, fine-featured, and fit with long brown wavy hair that she usually wears up in a high-arching ponytail, and her eyes are a bright, striking shade of blue-gray.  Maddie is by nature a highly energetic, cheerful optimist with dimples and an exuberant smile that have been known to bring strong men to their knees.  Which is helpful, given that she works with forty ex-Special Forces types, and someone needs to wrangle them into submission.  Toting a blender and having a flair for clean living, the guys love her for her good humor, sassy attitude, and delicious smoothies.  No one interrupts her yoga time.  But when it’s time to get down to business, they respect her for her mad skills with computers.  She is a hacker-extraordinaire.  

***It should be noted that this interview took place prior to the events documented in Love AND Revenge.***

Describe yourself what is your worst and vest quality?

Where I work—STI—the guys are all generally pretty serious.  It’s the work they’ve done and the work they do.  So I like it that I can make them smile, and I can help lighten their day.  And when they’re in the field, they know they can trust me to have their backs from the informational standpoint.

I don’t know that I’d call it my “worst quality,” I try to be very introspective, and when I find things I’m not liking about myself, I try to tackle them.  But a “weakness,” if I can it that instead, that I haven’t been able to overcome is that I worry.  I almost lost my brother, Devon.  He nearly died on an op, and ever since then, when he’s in the field I worry.  I hate how the anxiety makes me feel.

What is the one thing you wish other people knew about you?

I’m pretty much an open book to the people I care about.  Which is my family at STI.  We have to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses, so we can depend on each other.  Given our 24/7 schedule, most of us live and work under the same roof.  I think they know me pretty well, inside and out.  Although, if the guys are reading this … Hey, with all your big muscles, I wouldn’t think a little itty bitty dishwasher door would be such an obstacle.  Hint, hint.  *chuckles*

What is your biggest secret something no one knows about?

Well, if I told you, it wouldn’t be a secret anymore. *grins widely*

What are you most afraid of?

One of the guys getting killed in action.  My dad was FBI, and he was killed in the field.  I never got to say goodbye. And I told you about Devon already.  And recently a group of our guys got caught in a Hellfire firefight.  They made it out, but it shook me up pretty bad.

What do you want more than anything?

Health and happiness.  Love and respect.

What is your relationship status?

It’s complicated.

You know how I was telling you about the Hellfire firefight?  Well, my boyfriend—or rather, now ex-boyfriend, Seamus—well, he was in the group.  I haven’t been able get over how scared I got, and now—well, I called it off.  It’s breaking my heart, and his.  I love him, and I want back in my life.  But I just can’t take the fear I feel every time he goes into the field.  So I’m making myself move on.  I’m seeing a new guy, Max Stone.  He’s not in security.  *shrugs*  He’s nice.  And funny.  He treats me really well.  I like him.  I’m hoping I can love him instead.

How would you describe your sense of fashion?

Fashion?  *chuckles*  Where I work?  My “uniform” of the day is skinny jeans, a tank or tee, and runners.  I wear a hoodie or sweater if it’s chilly.  Mind you.  I do like my clothes to fit and complement my shape.  I don’t walk around looking like a guy or anything.  My clothes are feminine.  And when I’m off the clock and looking for comfort, it’s yoga pants.

How much of a rebel are you?

That’s a loaded question.  *laughs*  I’ll tell you this.  I don’t have anything to rebel against, except maybe the occasional firewall or two.  I’m certainly not out to draw attention to myself or my actions. 

What do you considered to be your greatest achievement?

Educationally, I earned two Bachelor’s and two Master’s degrees in six years.  My undergrad was in Informatics and Org. Studies.  I have an MBA, and my second Master’s is in Computer Science.  However, that was all way easier than getting field certified to work at STI.  I had to become a marksman level shooter with my sidearm, learn emergency field medicine, and conquer the grueling “confidence” course.  Yeah, that sucked.  *laughs*

What is your idea of happiness?

Something I can’t have.  Seamus without the danger.

What is your current state of mind?

Happy with my health and life.  Love my work.  Love being at STI with my brother and the guys.  Trying to find love with a new guy.

What is your most treasured possession?

Wow, that’s a personal question.  ...Um.  …Well, it’s this little, white flower I dried and kept from one of my dates with Seamus.  *blinks back a tear*  He took me on a nighttime hike under the full moon.  The sky was so black, and a zillion bright stars, despite the moon, twinkled like magic.  We came across these little white flowers that only bloom in the moonlight.  He picked one for me.  It was the first time he told me he loved me. 

What is your most marked characteristic?

Probably that I am usually a happy person.

What is it that you, most dislike?

Personally speaking.  Insincere, disingenuous people.  Cruelty.

Which living person do you, most despise?

Living?  No one. 

What is your greatest regret?

I try not to have regrets.  You know, live a better life from lessons learned.  But I do wish I could have been there when my dad died.  I could have held his hand.  Talked to him.  Something.  So he wouldn’t have had to die alone.

What is the quality you most like in a man?

As in what I find sexy?  Confidence.  As in what I want from a coworker?  Reliability.  But from a partner in love and life, I want someone who will love me for who I am.

What is the quality you most like in a woman?

Genuine friendship.

Who is your favorite hero in fiction?

Gabriel Vaughn.  He was the hero of a TV show called Intelligence.  It got cancelled.  But the hero was played by Josh Holloway.  And Josh looks a lot like Seamus.  So that was kind of fun.

Which living person do you most admire?

Actually, that would probably be Giffin, Devon’s wife.  She helps people that most other people have forgotten about.  She helps them get back on their feet and find their lives again.  That’s pretty admirable.

If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

The fear.  The worry. 

What is your motto?

Live to play another day.
