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.

Being the CEO of flourishing JK Holdings isn't a sufficient challenge for millionaire restaurateur Justin King. He craves the rush gained by facing danger and triumphing - be it heli-skiing, rappelling, suit jumping from the peaks of Mt. Everest, or racing performance cars. But nothing does it for him like breaking into impenetrable fortresses and rifling their vaults for Guardian Security. It's the best-kept secret of his very public life.

David Xavier - and all those he loved or counted as friends - would forever be mouth-watering targets to men of evil intent. His wealth could settle a small country's foreign debt. Because of this, from the moment of his birth, his mother obscured his identity. Reborn as the man named Gabriel, however, he walked free into a world where the innocents and the weak cried out for a defender, for the hand of justice, for a guardian angel.

He was born into a legacy of protection and power. David “Ronan” Alexander, son of the legendary owner of Guardian Security, grew up knowing that the weight of leadership would one day rest on his shoulders. Now a seasoned team leader in the world’s most elite private security firm, Ronan is prepared for anything—except for the fiery woman who crashes into his life with a mission as dangerous as his own.

To prevent their imminent murder, Bethanie Clark flees New York City with her 11-year-old son Ethan. Her destination - a remote cabin isolated high in the Smoky Mountains. A city dweller her entire life, she never realized there was more threatening their lives than the enemies of her son’s father. In winter, in the high elevations of the Great Smoky Mountains, surviving the elements is a challenge.

Alone, isolated from the vast resources of Guardian, Dixon Simmons reentered a world that had left him impossibly damaged as a child. He stepped back into that evil by choice. To protect all he’d come to love, he was willing to pay whatever price was demanded — even if the price was his soul. She went by many names. Her true identity was as dead as her heart. Until him. The man was every bit as lethal as she was and deliciously sexy. Dixon Simmons piqued her interest, and what started as lust turned into another “L” word. She gave a “forever after” with him no hope.

Doctor Ezekiel (Zeke) Johnson’s life was fulfilling. He had a practice that kept him busy, a hometown that, despite its appearances, was far from boring, and a new job working with Guardian. He was missing one thing. A woman to love and a family of his own.

Andrew Hollister knew the wounds that make a person the most vulnerable couldn’t be seen. That last mission punched his ticket home. He’d survived when most of his team hadn’t. The physical damage had mended. The mental injuries hadn’t healed as easily. Hell, they hadn’t healed at all.

Declan Howard had it made. He owned the town’s only bar, and there was a vast ocean of women to choose from. All right, so perhaps vast was an overstatement. Hollister wasn’t New York City, but he was content. Footloose and fancy-free, he lived in the fast lane and loved it…until recently.

Neither Piper nor Bear could anticipate the trials of their journey, the danger that threatens them, or the new and raw emotion that seals their lives together. Still, they will walk the trail together until the end, no matter what it takes.

The CIA didn’t care if Agent Victoria Marshal lived or died in an Afghani hell-hole. Yet, she survived each torture session with single-minded determination, but human flesh has its limits. She knew her time was running short. Jacob King led a privately funded black ops group into that Afghani village to gather intelligence. He didn’t expect to find an American woman. He admired her brave humor in the face of her agonizing injuries. This kind of tough-minded woman was someone Jacob wanted to know, so he asked her for a date…same time, next year.

Ethan Wolf has always been the man behind the screens, but now he’d been chosen and meticulously trained by the mastermind who designed Guardian Security’s state-of-the-art systems. Cool under pressure and brilliant with technology, Ethan is the last line of defense in a world where the smallest vulnerability can bring empires to their knees. But when the chaos shifts from digital threats to real-world danger, he finds himself facing a challenge he never expected—one that involves his heart.

In the Shadow World, he was the god of death, and he was called many names. The monsters he hunted called him Anubis. Those who saw his face died. To Guardian Security, he was a number - a surgical weapon they wielded against monstrous evil. One woman called him Kaeden Lang. Anubis never meant her to be anything except an interlude - a moment of light in the darkness of his life, a one-time escape from the ever-present haze of death.

His code name was Tempest, and his enemy caught him. Stratus did unspeakable things to him until, out of his mind, he prayed for death — but he’d never broken faith with his brothers. God, how he wished they knew that. He had not compromised them. He’d told Stratus nothing. Cast aside as useless, left to starve or die of his injuries, his broken body lay in a bare cell, forgotten, and Tempest knew his prayer for the end would be answered shortly. Until her. She made him want to live — if only to help her escape.

Doctor Jeremiah Wheeler dedicated 10 years of his professional career to the population of a maximum-security penitentiary in California. A prison riot and lockdown led to a horrific hostage situation he barely managed to survive. Going back wasn't possible. He needed a change of pace, a change of scenery, and time to heal. Life was quiet in Hollister, South Dakota, and that was exactly why Eden Wade relocated to the middle of nowhere after her husband died. Small town problems, with a dash of small-town drama. Perfect. Peaceful. Relaxing. At least until he hit town.

John Smith’s world exploded. Literally. His sister murdered, he ran from the intelligence agencies of his own country. Every covert entity in the world wanted him for the information he alone could access. They killed everyone he cared about to get it. He had one chance at survival. Guardian. Shae Diamant’s undercover operation for the Mossad led her into the inner circle of hell. Three years’ work crumbled beneath her feet. Her alias ruined, she knew it was only time before Stratus eliminated her.

It wasn’t until people started shooting at her that Eve Salutem had an inkling she was anything other than an elementary school teacher suffering from a rare form of cancer. Discovering she was a walking source of the vaccine for lethal bioweapons and that her previous 27 years were based on lies, lies, and more lies shattered her fragile world and threatened her sanity.

As a Shadow, Asp planned his assassinations with meticulous care. His work required one thing - that the Council direct his kills. The coded target became a "sanctioned hit”, and that distinction was vital. His most recent assignment took him to a remote area of the Andes Mountains in Colombia. He completed his assassination according to plan - more or less - but no amount of careful planning could have prepared him for the dire circumstances he found himself in.

Jasmine King loved her chosen profession, until she was assigned as Chad Nelson's personal security officer. The sex-fueled country superstar was either a stone-cold killer or the target of a deranged psychopath. Regardless, the self-absorbed bad boy was now hers to protect, and she'd be damned if she'd fail-despite the singer's best efforts to make things difficult. One minute Chad Nelson was the reigning king of country music and the next, an FBI murder suspect in not one, but two murders. As if that's not bad enough, he's in the crosshairs of someone who wants him dead.

Aspen Kennedy almost died in the explosion that decimated Guardian Security’s Washington, DC, complex. When she woke in the hospital bed, survival was her mantra. But the very thing that made her who she was had been stripped from her. Plunged into the center of the New York Mafia war, she called the only telephone number she could remember and left a message begging for help. Guardian wouldn’t let this happen, that much she did remember.
