Secret Operations!
You want secrets? You want danger? Nobody knows those about things more than special operations soldiers, and that's why I love to write about them. My heroes are tough, alpha in the extreme, and serve in the best units of the US military. I love showing their capabilities, their training, and how hard they've worked to get there. But that's not all.
The secret is...on top of their lethal skill sets, they can all curl a woman's toes at twenty paces. I mean, what's not to love? These elite soldiers are brave, loyal, and they're sexy as hell.
I love to offset my heroes' alpha badness with their expertise in the bedroom and watch the sparks fly between them and my heroines. With romantic suspense it's important to me to balance both the romance and the suspense throughout the book. Each of those elements drives the other, and one should never overshadow the other. And when a battle-hardened soldier drops his guard and shows the woman he loves his sexy, tender side... Yum. (Are your toes curling yet?)
The second book in my military romantic suspense series, Cover of Darkness, features Navy SEAL lieutenant Dec McCabe. He's a total pro on the battlefield, but on this particular mission he'll be tested in ways he never imagined.
Blurb: Targeted by a terrorist cell, Bryn McAllister survives a bombing at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut only to be left to die in a desert cellar. When she is rescued by Navy SEAL Lieutenant Declan McCabe and his team, Bryn must rely on the handsome officer to get her to safety. But just when she thinks the nightmare is over, family friend and legendary CIA operative Luke Hutchinson recruits her and McCabe to help track down the terrorist mastermind responsible for the attack.
With Bryn determined to see the terrorist brought to justice, Dec joins up to protect her, prepared to do whatever it takes to keep her safe during their dangerous mission. Battling the explosive attraction between them, Dec fights to keep his distance from her so he can do his job and keep her alive. But when plans fall apart and Bryn is captured, he must make the agonizing choice between his duty as a SEAL and the life of the woman he loves.

Thank you Kaylea for joining me today! What she didn't tell you about this particular book is that it placed first in The Heart of Excellence Readers' Choice Award, it's an EPIC finalist, and it finaled in the VCRW Laurel Wreath contest! It's a fantastic example of military romance and once you try one of her books, you'll be hooked.
