Genre: Romantic Suspense

Nicole Morgan, Desiree Holt, Krista Ames & Deelylah Mullin

Rhett Fortune settled on the small parcel of land he purchased in 1858 with his wife Clara and founded the beautiful landscape that surrounded his newly built home and what is now known as Fortune, TX. A veteran of the United States Army and as a Colonel who served with honor in the Mexican-American War, Rhett and Clara raised a large family. Sons and daughters, and grandchildren to follow, their clan grew throughout the decades.

Now in the 21st Century, two of their descendants remain at the helm. Chance Fortune, a former member of the Army’s Delta Force and co-founder of Soldiers of Fortune, has an innate duty to serve and protect. Working with his brother, RJ Fortune, a former Navy SEAL and wounded warrior, they take the cases that their government won’t. And vow to protect the civilians that no one else can.

They have quietly put out the word and now, after three years, other former brothers-in-arms have contacted them bringing situations that span not only the country but the globe. On Fortune family land they have built a facility out of the public eye for their office, a helicopter, a gun range, and whatever else they might need.

They are the Soldiers of Fortune… and these are their stories.

Soldiers of Fortune: Volume 2

with stories by

Nicole Morgan, Krista Ames, Deelylah Mullin, Joanne Jaytanie

Sacrifice: Part 2 by Nicole Morgan

Ever Since she entered the picture, his mission has changed.

Eddie Peterson’s mission had been to take down the nearly untouchable drug lord, Rojas. Years of being underground, with no protection from his country, he is left to fight off the cartel on his own. It was a job he thought he could handle.

With Marissa Rojas nothing is simple. The only daughter of a ruthless drug lord leaves little opportunity for a wholesome upbringing. Her life is complicated and thanks to her bodyguard, Eddie, things are about to get a whole lot tougher.

Now, it is no longer Eddie’s mission that is in jeopardy. It is their very lives.

Operation Undercover by Krista Ames

Don’t get caught under the covers.

Killing Me Softly by Deelylah Mullin

With only gunfire and each other to keep them company, can Jorden and Luke save the innocents without complicating things?

When Jorden Mane met Luke Garrett, there weren’t wedding bells ringing, choirs singing, nor fireworks exploding—unless you consider the gunfire. But, as she got to know the mysterious man behind the stoic facade, she fell for him. Hard.

But, it didn’t matter. They needed to get to find El Capitan—the mastermind behind the decimation of the small villages they’d encountered.

As Luke Garrett used his special ops training to defeat the bad guys, he sensed a familiarity in the attacks—like they were the plans of a previous mission leader or commanding officer.

Which made him shudder at every turn.

It also made him have to think outside-the-box with regard to defensive tactics.

All of it made his head spin, but the constant was Jordan. He didn’t know when or how it happened, but he’d grown to care for her.

Which was a bad, bad thing when they were on the outskirts of the law.

Will Jordan and Luke make it through the next siege? Can they keep their feelings for one another out of the mix? Or will passion fuel the flames of their survival?

Dogs of Fortune by Joanne Jaytanie

The Baker Corp. has recruited Blair Sellick, a nationally known dog trainer with truly phenomenal skills, to provide exceptional training for service dogs. The project would supply highly intelligent animals as partners for victims of PTSD and other disabilities. Or would it?

The answer has disappeared along with Blair, her fellow dog trainers, and all the dogs.

Ex-SEAL and canine handler Zane Kelly is done with war, with dogs, and with the Soldiers of Fortune. Coerced, cajoled, and eventually intrigued, Zane finally capitulates to the Soldiers of Fortune recruiters for just one project, to find Blair Sellick. The mission is clear, the dog trainers are dying, and nobody has heard from Blair for weeks. Zane has failed only one mission, and that failure cost his canine partner Axel his life.

This time Zane has no intention of leaving anyone behind.

New Release

I have a new release in my Bennett Dynasty series. 

Faith Bennett

I have a knack for dealing with ghosts.

I can see them.

I can hear them.

And sometimes, just like children throwing a temper tantrum, they’re in need of a time out.

When a ghost appears that looks like my sister, and asks me to help find her body, of course, I’m willing to try.

Even if that means searching through trash at the town dump.

Keaton Daniels

Seven missing women.

A single clue.

A journey to the one woman I can’t afford to lose.

Faith knows where the bodies are buried and I need her help.

The sparks between us are as real as the danger I’m putting her in.

I can’t afford to let the attraction derail my focus. I need to catch this killer before Faith is in the killer’s crosshairs and she becomes the next woman to disappear.

Returning to my roots

As I approached my seven-year publishing anniversary, it's only right that I return to my roots and the series that started me on this journey. Unlike many authors, I didn't grow up wanting to write books, heck, I didn't even like reading them. So, when my sister took me to see a movie about a Vampire that Sparkles, of course I needed to know what happened next. 

That launched my love for reading. After several hundred books and not finding the one I wanted to read, I wrote it. My Bennett Sister's series has strong family bonds, sisters that weren't afraid of taking care of themselves, and supernatural abilities and gifts. 

That series is still a fan favorite to this day. So, when deciding what to do to celebrate how far I've come down this bumpy road I decided it was time to introduce the rest of the Bennetts. 

Find it here on Amazon!  

He’s a by-the-book kind of guy, and she’s a lawbreaker at heart. 

Gwen Bennett

As an operative with a hidden talent, I know how to keep my clients safe. It’s ingrained in my unusual DNA, and I’m damn good at my job. 

So, when a thief swindles my grandmother out of a fortune and flees to a private island that’s by invite only, I’m determined to find access, even if that means taking a job I don’t want, for a family I’d rather avoid. 

Maxwell Pierce

She needs me. 
There’s desperation in her eyes. 
I have something she wants. 
And I know it. 
When my brother sends me to recruit Gwen Bennett for a job after she’s turned him down, I thought it would be more difficult to make a deal. Offering to share my island suite was more than enough to get her to agree. Now I just need to get her to realize that my sister's life is on line and that's worth more than any money she can hope to recoup.

They’ll have to get creative to keep from losing it all when lives, a family fortune, and their hearts hang in the balance.

The Ups and Downs ~ by Joanne Jaytanie

I took the longest path to get here and no matter the ups and downs, I would never give it up, change my career, or throw in the towel. I feel privileged to be able to say—I’m an author. And I always keep that thought tucked in the back of my mind, on the good days when the words are flowing faster than my fingers can put them on the screen, to the bad days when I stare at the glaring white screen and the blasted blinking cursor.

You spend months or even years on your story, writing, editing, rewriting, editing, and rewriting some more, and become invested in your story. Finally, at long last your once WIP has grown into a novel and spreads its wings and goes out into the world. Then comes the worry. Will the readers like it? Hate it? Was there enough suspense…romance…action…twists to keep the reader guessing? Did I take them on the adventure I built up in my mind?

This week, the April issue of InD’tale Magazine popped up in my inbox, and I started reading through the book reviews. I found the Suspense section and wondered when Salvaging Truth would be reviewed, and would they like it. I flipped to the next page and to my complete surprise—there it was. They loved it! And the cherry on top—it received the coveted Crowned Heart and a 5-Star review. 

It was a fantastic day. One of those days that makes me excited to start my next story. One of those days that prepares me for the next time I’m staring at the computer screen with no idea what to say next. One of those days it makes me proud to say…I’m an author.

 

“Nothing is as it seems in this riveting piece. Superbly written…”

The scavenger hunt is only the beginning… by Joanne Jaytanie

Have you ever participated in a scavenger hunt? It’s a game, a way to pass the time – right? Riley Rawlings grew up participating in scavenger hunts. It was her family’s favorite game. 

Now, Riley is all grown up, and the scavenger hunt she currently finds herself embroiled in isn’t just a game with a pretty trinket awarded to the winner. 

This time everything is on the line. Her mother’s legacy, secrets from the past, discovering who is a friend and who is foe, and even her life. 

Instead of including a short excerpt here, I’ve added a link for you to download the first four chapters of Salvaging Truth.

I hope you enjoy the adventure.

It's my Birthday! ~ by Joanne Jaytanie

To read Book Viral's Review~Click here

Salvaging Truth has made its debut. Book Viral book reviews awarded it 5 stars. There’s nothing more thrilling than to read a glowing review on a book that you poured hours, weeks, months, and in this case, over a year’s worth of writing into creating. If you like romantic suspense with ex-SEALs, corporate corruption, and international espionage, I hope you’ll give Salvaging Truth a try.

Book Blurb:

Most parents leave you a house, a car, or money when they die. Riley’s mom left her a treasure hunt with a mysterious payoff. Now everyone seems to want a piece of Riley and her inheritance: the university, the military, mega corporations, and Russian spies.

Riley needs help to solve her mother’s murder, and Dagger Easton’s salvage and investigation company comes to her rescue. Retired SEAL, private eye, and leader of a diving and salvage team, Dagger promises to protect Riley with his life. But as the value of her mother’s research becomes clear, Riley begins to believe there’s no one she can trust—not with her life, her heart, or her mother’s legacy.

And the frosting on top? Tonight we’ll be celebrating my birthday on a twilight dinner cruise off the coast of Oahu. I finally get the chance to explore the island I’ve only visited between the pages of my stories.

Salvaging Truth, Hunters & Seekers, Book One~by Joanne Jaytanie

I have found that many people believe writing fiction stories are less complicated because there’s no research involved. My writing process always begins with a single idea, one that inevitably leads me to research. Not only before I write the first sentence of my first draft, but continuously throughout my manuscript. Salvaging Truth is a prime example. I came up with an idea – one that I verified had yet to be viable-today. Then I added ex-SEAL team salvage divers, which also lead to interacting with the Coast Guard. If you’ve read my previous post, Fact or Fiction?...Both! You will discover how I accumulated and verified the details with regards to the military. 

My fictional romantic suspense, with a few roots in real life, will hit the cyber-shelves on January 31st. Here’s your first look at what you will find between the pages.

Book Excerpt: 

As she approached Sheridan Enterprises, the flag flying was at half-staff. Her vision misted as she fought back tears.

More than five hours had passed since Riley first listened to the voicemail. She pulled into the first open spot and killed her engine. Clutching the steering wheel with both hands, she dropped her head against it, closed her eyes, and struggled to steady her breathing as she replayed her mother’s call over and over in her mind.

Her mom was a seasoned diver and an excellent swimmer. Riley was sure she would be found—she just had to be.

Riley couldn’t begin to fathom how she would live if Mom wasn’t a phone call away.

There was a sharp rap on the window, making her jump. Wayne Samuels stood next to her door, arms crossed and staring down at her.

“Wayne, you scared the life out of me,” Riley said as she rolled down her window.

“What are you doing here, Riley? Didn’t my assistant assure you I’d keep you updated? There’s no news and I have a million things to do today. Our missing research vessel has left me with an unending list. The insurance company has already contacted the office. How the hell did they find out already? What are you doing here, don’t you have classes?”

She put her hand on the door handle, but Wayne refused to move out of the way. “Mom is not only your employee, she’s your friend. You don’t seem too upset about her disappearance.”

He sucked in a breath and sighed heavily as he let it out. “Of course I’m upset. You’re right, she is my friend. But she’s not the only one missing, nor my only friend on board.” He tried to appear sympathetic, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “There are eighteen other employees missing and eighteen families demanding information. And that’s to say nothing about the media firestorm this accident will cause for the company.” Wayne finally stepped back from her car.

Riley changed her mind; Wayne sounded plenty upset…about all the work that just landed on his desk. How could he be so self-centered?

“Now, tell me what exactly is being done.” Riley demanded.

“All the appropriate steps have been taken.” Wayne assured her. “The Coast Guard has been notified of the missing ship and the search is underway. We’re doing everything possible to locate the ship. There’s nothing here for you to do. Go teach your classes.”

“I have no intention of teaching today. My mother is on your missing ship. My assistant is filling in for me. I intend to remain here until I have answers.”

“I told you—” His body stiffened as he leaned closer with a warning glower.

Refusing to let him intimidate her, she lifted her chin and glared back at him.

“I heard you,” she snapped.

“Well, hell…fine. I don’t have the time to argue with you any longer. I’m on the way to my office. Let’s go.” He turned and walked away at a brisk clip, leaving Riley hurrying to catch up.

“Hold the elevator,” Samuels bellowed, as his heels snapped smartly across the gleaming marble floor of the spacious lobby. He stepped directly into the center of the elevator, forcing people towards the walls.

The doors closed directly behind Riley as she rushed in after him.

“Morning, Mr. Samuels,” Kathy, his secretary, greeted him as they exited the elevator. “Good morning, Ms. Rawlings.” Kathy handed Samuels a cup of coffee and cocked her eyebrows in Riley’s direction in a silent question.

Riley shook her head. Her stomach was still churning. Now it felt like a volcano ready to erupt. What she wouldn’t give for a fistful of antacids.

“I’m so sorry about your mother’s ship. I’m sure she’ll be fine, just fine.” Kathy reached out and patted Riley on her arm. “Mr. Eastin arrived early,” Kathy said. “He’s waiting in your office.”

Samuels threw his secretary a smoldering glare. “What have I told you about allowing people in my office unattended?” Samuels snapped.

“I didn’t think it would be a problem. He asked where he could sit to make phone calls. I thought he might like some privacy.”

Samuels ignored Kathy as he opened the door to his office. Riley followed. An imposing man sat in one of the high-backed guest chairs, head down, typing away on his tablet. His sable hair appeared nearly black, a riot of wavy layers, tight on the sides and back, longer and almost curly on top.

“Eastin,” Samuels said.

The man looked up, his magnetic topaz-colored eyes skimming over Samuels and locking onto Riley’s. “Hope you don’t mind. My day started at the crack of dawn. I finished my prior work early and decided to come straight here rather than return to my office.” His gaze never wavered. “You look like your mother.”

“Dagger Eastin, this is Riley Rawlings,” Samuels said as he walked to his desk and sat in his chair. “We’re planning on hiring Mr. Eastin’s company as our investigators for our missing research vessel.”

“Are you referring to the sunken vessel the Coast Guard is currently involved with?” Dagger asked.

“Yes,” Samuels said.

“Then I’m afraid my company will have to pass on your offer.”

“Excuse me. Aren’t you a salvage and investigation company?” Samuels frowned.

“We are, yes. However, we’ve already been contracted by San Diego Police Department to assist them in this investigation.”

“What! Why is the SDPD already involved? Whatever caused our ship to sink, it was an accident.”

Until next month...
