He’s the new silver fox recruit at Sentinel Security.
The hot, tough former Marine Raider.
And he won’t touch her because he works with her brother.
Real estate agent Magnolia “Nola” Newhouse has it all. Okay, not quite all. She loves her work, has a growing collection of designer heels, and is about to become an aunt…she’s just missing the love of her life. She’s watched her brother and her best friend fall in love, and Nola wants that too.
When she first sees the big, rugged silver fox across the bar, she feels an instant connection, and knows he does too. They share a passionate kiss, then he discovers who her brother is…
Former Marine Knox “Stone” Holman needed a change. He’s left California and taken a job at New York’s top security firm: Sentinel Security. What he never expected was to lay eyes on a tiny, curvy woman and feel his world tip upside down. But Knox lives by a code, which means his co-worker’s beautiful sister is off-limits. Besides, Nola has love, marriage, and kids stamped all over her, and he’s past that.
But when Nola goes to inspect an empty penthouse and accidentally witnesses an execution-style murder, everything changes. She’s on the run and being hunted by the mob, and Knox will do everything to keep her safe.
Running the gauntlet of the New York streets, Knox and Nola will discover just how hot their attraction runs. Knox is determined to protect her, and Nola is determined to make him hers.

He'll stop at nothing to save her.
When Detective Brynn Norcross wakes up tied to a chair in a warehouse, she’s mad. Her undercover assignment to investigate the murder of a dog breeder has uncovered something sinister—illegal, brutal dogfighting—and now she’s been abducted.
She’s also terrified.
But she’s not afraid of captors.
She’s afraid for them.
What they don’t know is that she’s married to the deadliest man in San Francisco…and he’ll be coming for her.
When Vander Norcross can’t get in touch with his wife, he knows something’s wrong. Every instinct he has—honed by years of running Norcross Security and as a commander for a covert Ghost Ops team—tells him that she’s in trouble.
Vander will use every single one of his specialized skills to get her back.
He’ll stop at nothing to save the women he loves. He’ll burn the city to the ground if he has to.
The bad guys don’t know what’s coming…
*** An action-packed Norcross Security short story starring Vander Norcross and his wife Brynn.
Forgotten Girls
Book 4, Special Agent Beth Katz
D.K. Hood
Released: 31 July
She bites her nails as she steals a glance at the stranger in the pickup truck beside her. She trusted him when he offered her a ride, but now, as he turns onto a deserted road leading into a dark pine forest, she knows she’s made a huge mistake.
Special agent Beth Katz races through the dense Montana woodland toward a small, isolated cabin. She’s investigating the disappearance of her partner Dax Styles’s sister who went missing as she walked home from school, and Beth finally has a solid lead. Outside the decrepit building, her heart pounds wondering what she will find on the other side of the door.
A young woman with long brown hair and cornflower blue eyes, just like Dax’s, shakes in the kitchen. It’s clearly Ginny, but before Dax can speak to his long-lost sister, Beth hears a noise from outside. In a rundown outbuilding, they discover another young girl, reported missing just weeks before. Dressed in a thin nightie, Ava cowers as Beth breaks into the padlocked room. Her captor has fled, but Beth will use every skill she’s got to track him down.
Working night and day, Beth uncovers more cases of young girls taken from remote roads near their homes. Twelve-year-old Shiloh Weeks vanished as she walked home just days ago. Her story remarkably similar to Ginny and Ava’s.
Beth and Dax are on a mission to stop to this twisted individual and save any new girls from being taken into the woods and lost forever. But when the trail leads them to a man impersonating a police officer to gain the trust of his victims, will Dax hand him over or take matters into his own hands?

Prequel Nightworld Academy
LJ Swallow
Currently free!
Nightworld Academy: Origins is a short prequel to the Nightworld Academy series. This is a glimpse into the world and the characters, including Maeve’s life before the academy, and what’s really happening in the background when she first arrives.
I saw the future and saved someone’s life. Mine changed forever.
My once fleeting visions recently sharpened into clear, haunting glimpses of the future. When I saw trouble coming for a classmate, I decided to step in and change events to save his life. As a result, another student ended up in the hospital, and my parents were forced to find a new school to help with my ‘issues’.
The moment I walk into the mysterious academy isolated on the Yorkshire Moors, everything I understand about my life begins to change.
My new friends seem normal—Jamie, serious and studious, his presence both a comfort and a mystery. Then there's Ash, whose easy charm and protective nature make my heart race in a way I can't explain. But among them lurks Andrei, the brooding figure whose mere glance sends shivers down my spine, hinting at secrets darker than I can imagine.
I swear the people and this place are more than they appear, but my friends hold their secrets tight. It’s clear that I'm not just a regular student sent here for help with my ‘issues’, and I'm determined to uncover the truth about why I'm here.
But as I try to uncover their secrets, I'm troubled by whispers of a hidden danger known as the Dominion. And the deeper I delve into the academy and students, the more I realize that the future I need to change might be one of my new friends.
