And for these six men, fast is an understatement… Connor Braddock – CEO of Braddock Pharmaceuticals and the secret money-man and participant in deep black ops operations – and now newest financial backer of Drake Malone’s black ops team. That is until he’s kidnapped by…. Cain Perez – ‘Ghost’ as he’s known out in the field. The best at what he does – brutal, detached, a robot – ordered by his main backer to ‘shadow’ Connor for almost a decade – he makes a split-second decision when he finally has Connor Braddock within reach and kidnaps him without a reason why or a plan in place. What happens next between the two of them could only be described as out-of-control, intense and faster than the winds in a hurricane. Trent Bishop – Connor Braddock’s body guard and former Navy Seal, he’s with Connor when he’s kidnapped but drugged and left in a car on the side of the road – mad at himself for being unable to stop the kidnapping and out of his mind with the feelings the drug has flowing through his system, combining with his total loneliness and meeting the totally hot stranger who comes to his rescue….. Sky Montgomery – ATF agent on yet another suspension, he’s brought onto Drake Malone’s black ops team only to find, on his very first day, a passed out, incredibly sexy and in need of Sky’s help, Trent Bishop. When the two of them come together it’s dizzying, crazy, hot, intense and faster than the winds of a hurricane. Diego Lopez – retired Army Ranger and now member of Drake Malone’s team, who, after a lifetime of empty, meaningless hookups with women begins to struggle as he questions himself, his life, his sexuality, his everything, until after another drunken night, fate has him passing out in the lap of one… Andre Dyson – long-time friend of Connor Braddock and also one-third owner with Connor and Ben Braddock in a sex club called Sanity. Gorgeous blonde haired, blue eyed Australian surfer boy with an accent that will melt hearts, a face that will turn heads and a body that makes men gasp or weep…or sometimes both. When the beautiful, confused man passes out in his lap he’s immediately hit with the need to comfort and teach him until nothing but a smile graces his face. What happens next is consuming, seductive, sensual, patient and faster than the winds of a hurricane. Three men whose hearts are torn open by forces outside of their control and then miraculously put back together by the three men who shelter them in the crazy world they find themselves in.

Life. Sometime it’s easy – smooth and happy and putting a smile on your face. ~Justice stroked a calloused thumb over Garrett’s cheek. “You make me wish I was a better man, butterscotch.” Garrett closed his eyes and leaned into Justice’s hand, “How could you be? You’re already perfect in my eyes.”~ Sometimes it’s hard – rough and angry and makes the tears fall. ~“You’re going to get through this babe,” he whispered into JD’s hair... moreLife. Sometime it’s easy – smooth and happy and putting a smile on your face. ~Justice stroked a calloused thumb over Garrett’s cheek. “You make me wish I was a better man, butterscotch.” Garrett closed his eyes and leaned into Justice’s hand, “How could you be? You’re already perfect in my eyes.”~ Sometimes it’s hard – rough and angry and makes the tears fall. ~“You’re going to get through this babe,” he whispered into JD’s hair. “How do you know?” Brent squeezed his eyes shut as pain lanced through his heart at those words, “Because,” he whispered as he pressed his lips to JD’s neck, “because I’m going to be here. I’m going to hold you when you can’t stand on your own. I’m going to fight for you when your demons become too strong. I’m going to love you when only darkness fills your heart. And I’m going to keep you here, safe, when the storm inside of you is trying to sweep you away.”~ And sometimes it’s brutal - vicious and cruel and feeling like it’s trying to knock you on your ass. ~“Yeah, I know. Forgiveness is a heady thing, Cole. Even if it can’t bring two people together it can still set you free.”~ These men have been through it, they’ve experienced all life has to offer…..and then some. They go on, they pick themselves up, dust themselves off and carry on – even if their hearts are empty. They all know that this is the hand that fate has dealt them – to be alone for the rest of their lives – and they’ve accepted that. But what if they’re wrong? What if that bitch, fate, has one more surprise up her sleeve? What if love is what’s waiting for them after they fall? What if life has one more surprise for them……a happily ever after..... Join the strong, yet vulnerable men of Black Ops Heroes - both familiar characters and new - as they continue on this incredible journey of discovery, some heartache and a whole heaping of love. This book is 97,732 words long and approximately 446 pages. This is an adult M/M romance with male/male sex – a lot of it. It mentions PTSD, has light BDSM and mentions of past and current sexual abuse and trauma. It may contain triggers for some. This book is a standalone but it helps to read the past books in the series to know all of the characters background - it has an HEA (happily ever after) for the main characters in this book but introduces new characters that will be further explored in future books so some may consider that a cliffhanger. less

Sometimes all it takes is a glance One brief moment in time, seemingly insignificant but ultimately life changing That glimpse through the storm, that shadow, that silhouette, of something you can’t help but feel is something…..more, something bigger than just you. For Deputy US Marshal Vaughn Kepler – a man beaten down by both time and his own demons – it’s a smirk in the mirror, eyes that dance and a mouth that both infuriates and turns him the f*&k on... moreSometimes all it takes is a glance One brief moment in time, seemingly insignificant but ultimately life changing That glimpse through the storm, that shadow, that silhouette, of something you can’t help but feel is something…..more, something bigger than just you. For Deputy US Marshal Vaughn Kepler – a man beaten down by both time and his own demons – it’s a smirk in the mirror, eyes that dance and a mouth that both infuriates and turns him the f*&k on. A mouth belonging to one Caysun Rourke. The problem? Caysun is supposed to be his witness, the person who will lead Vaughn to his missing brother. He’s not supposed to be the man that Vaughn desperately wants warming his bed. But he is. What the hell is he supposed to do with that? For Sylas Thorne, that one glance was in the rearview mirror of his car. When he caught sight of the sexiest man he’d ever seen. A man who gave ‘objects in the mirror are larger than they appear’ an entirely new meaning. But Sylas didn’t do…….people. His severe anxiety had kept him hidden away from the world for as long as he could remember. He was the man, the voice, behind the computer screen. Anonymous. Just the way he liked it. Or he did, anyways. How could he ever hope to gain the love of anyone, let alone the handsome man staring at him with the gorgeous light green eyes? Yet with just a glance, this man made Sylas want to be a man worthy of one Grainger Peele. He wanted to face his fears and say ‘eff you’ to them. But it wasn’t like he could snap his fingers and make his crippling anxiety disappear. If he could, he would’ve done that years ago. Now the only question that remained was: Could a man like Grainger ever love such mess like him? When conditions are fierce, when you can barely see your hand in front of your face – is that one glimpse, that fleeting glance, enough to carry you through the storm? This is the 10th installment in the world of the Black Ops Heroes – strong yet vulnerable men who are stubborn and loyal, caring and fierce, and who, when they love, they love with their whole damn hearts. While this book is a standalone, it is recommended that you read the other books in the series to meet and fall in love with all of the men in this amazing world. less
