Cowboys, Firemen, Policemen, oh YES!

Ever have one of those days where you just can’t find something to read that really grabs you? Well I had one of those about 12 years ago and it made me decide to write my own...couldn’t be that hard right?....umm not quite!

See I’ve always had this thing for Military… also Cowboys, Firemen, Policemen… any who, I was really into military/ romantic/ suspense at the time so I sat down and wrote what would end up being the first in my Operation series. It started with Operation Summer Storm, followed by Operation Willow Quest, and I have just released book number three, Operation Swift Mercy. I’m  working on book four, Operation Avenging Angel, as we speak, so hopefully that will be out in the next month or so.

My series is about four U.S Recon Marines who always seem to be in the wrong place at the right time! And it’s always the women in their lives who get them there in the first place!  Each man has his own book, and I have to tell you, I have adored this journey these characters have taken me on. Since starting the series I’ve fallen in love with all of them and they really have become ‘real’ to me—it’s going to be very hard to write the end on book four!

I thought I might give you the blurbs to the first three books and let you see for yourself what these guys get up to!

Tate Maddox is a wanted man, accused of a crime he didn't commit. Summer Sheldon holds the key to his freedom-for a price. 


Her demands are simple--rescue her journalist sister from a rebel hostage camp and she'll hand over the evidence to clear his name. There's just one small catch. He has to take her with him. From the depths of a Cambodian jungle to the tropical paradise of the Philippines, two unlikely allies are forced to learn how to coexist or lose everything each holds dear. Together they must expose a truth that leaves them both vulnerable to the ruthless killer behind Tate's nightmare. Murder, blackmail, and injustice brought them together. Will Tate and Summer save Willow and restore Tate's reputation in time, or will they pay the ultimate price for honor?


Peter Delaware is a man on a mission. His job is to save Willow Sheldon's delectable but antagonizing butt before she gets herself killed.


Unfortunately, she has no intention of making his job easy. Willow Sheldon has a habit of finding trouble. As a photojournalist, her job has often taken her to some dangerous places, but when Peter 'Del' Delaware comes to her rescue, suddenly it's no longer the hostile environment posing the greatest threat to her safety. On the trail of an elusive weapons dealer, Willow is determined to bring the man responsible for the nightmare of her past to justice. If in doing so she also gets the scoop of the decade, then all the better. From the tropics of the south pacific to the jungles of South America, these two unlikely allies must learn to let down their defences in order to make it out alive.

She needed help…someone brave…someone tough…someone like a rough and ready Marine.

When Mercy D’Silva, discovered her ex-boyfriend was behind an elaborate people smuggling movement, life as she once knew it, ended abruptly. Finding herself on the run with no idea who to turn to for help, her days seemed numbered. For Chase Maloney, everyone around him seemed to be moving on, while he was simply marking time. When he decided to take a short break from groomsmen duties to go fishing, the last thing he expected to catch was a beautiful woman! Can they outrun a vicious killer, and hand over the evidence to convict him, in time? Or will he find them first and inflict swift vengeance?

Look me up on facebook if you haven’t already—I’d love to say hi!
