Men of Echo Ridge Series by Delta James

I didn’t survive Delta Force by being soft. Fire burned me, missions hardened me, and now I live alone in a mountain cabin where no one crosses my perimeter. My world is fire, steel, and silence. Until she crashes into it. Willa Hart is a fugitive with haunted eyes and a past that could expose everything Echo Company has fought to protect. I should’ve sent her away the moment I leveled my shotgun at her. Instead, I made a choice I swore I’d never make again. I let her stay. In my cabin... moreI didn’t survive Delta Force by being soft. Fire burned me, missions hardened me, and now I live alone in a mountain cabin where no one crosses my perimeter. My world is fire, steel, and silence. Until she crashes into it. Willa Hart is a fugitive with haunted eyes and a past that could expose everything Echo Company has fought to protect. I should’ve sent her away the moment I leveled my shotgun at her. Instead, I made a choice I swore I’d never make again. I let her stay. In my cabin. In my bed. Under my protection. Snow closes in. Her stalker circles tighter. And every day, the line I drew around my heart gets burned away. She sees the man behind the scars, the soldier I thought was long gone. Now she’s mine. And anyone who tries to take her will burn. less

I was trained to profile killers. Not fall for one. When the Bureau assigned me to hunt Alex Mercer, a decorated soldier turned domestic terrorist—I expected a fanatic. Instead, I found a man bleeding out in a Wyoming safehouse… and saving my life when the hit team came for us both. Now I’m on the run with the enemy. Every file I trusted is a lie. Every badge I believed in has been weaponized. And the man I was ordered to arrest is the only one keeping me alive. He’s dangerous. Controlled... moreI was trained to profile killers. Not fall for one. When the Bureau assigned me to hunt Alex Mercer, a decorated soldier turned domestic terrorist—I expected a fanatic. Instead, I found a man bleeding out in a Wyoming safehouse… and saving my life when the hit team came for us both. Now I’m on the run with the enemy. Every file I trusted is a lie. Every badge I believed in has been weaponized. And the man I was ordered to arrest is the only one keeping me alive. He’s dangerous. Controlled. Infuriatingly calm even with a gun in his hand and blood on his shirt. But when his walls crack open, I see the scars no one else has touched, and the kind of loyalty that could burn the world down. The Committee wants us silenced. The FBI wants me back in line. But I’ve already crossed it… and the only person I trust on the other side is the man I was sent to destroy. less

The monster they sent to silence me… might be the only man who can save me. I thought I was chasing the biggest story of my career; proof of a covert black-ops program called the Committee. Instead, I walked straight into their trap. One encrypted file, one analysis that got too close, and suddenly the Committee thinks I know where their enemies are hiding.

I thought I was chasing the biggest story of my career; proof of a covert black-ops program called the Committee. Instead, I walked straight into their trap. One encrypted file, one analysis that got too close, and suddenly the Committee thinks I know where their enemies are hiding. Echo Ridge. Now every shadow operative I’ve been investigating is hunting me, because they believe I have coordinates to a compound that isn't supposed to exist. Including the man who finds me first… Dylan Rourke. He was the Committee's interrogator, the weapon they whispered about, the monster they built out of grief and violence. He should still be one of them. Instead, he was burned, chose to save one innocent life over following orders, and now he's the only thing standing between me and the people who trained him. Working with Dylan is the last thing I want. Trusting him is the last thing I should do. But he’s also the only person who can keep me alive long enough to finish what I started. And the more I learn about him, the harder it becomes to see him as the monster everyone fears. Because beneath the darkness and the scars is a protector who would burn the world to defend what’s his. The Committee is coming. Echo Ridge is preparing for war. And the only way to survive is to trust the man I should run from…. less

Some missions protect the world. This one protects my family. I walked away from Rachel Donovan eight years ago, thinking distance would keep her safe. I was wrong. Her son just witnessed a Committee execution, and now they’re hunting them both. Protecting them is the mission… but the moment Rachel opens the door, I know it’s more than that. I’ll hold the line. I’ll hold Lucas safe. And this time, I’m not letting her go.

I came back from the dead to stop a traitor…and to face the woman I broke. Going dark was the only way to save Echo Ridge. It just cost me the woman I loved. Two years undercover inside the Committee meant no contact, no messages, no mistakes. I completed the mission. I exposed the breach. I survived. Sarah Andrews didn’t. Not really. When I surface and join Echo Ridge, she’s ice-cold, razor-sharp, and done with me. She thinks I abandoned her when she was wounded and alone... moreI came back from the dead to stop a traitor…and to face the woman I broke. Going dark was the only way to save Echo Ridge.

Sarah Andrews didn’t. Not really. When I surface and join Echo Ridge, she’s ice-cold, razor-sharp, and done with me. She thinks I abandoned her when she was wounded and alone. When her brother vanished and everything fell apart. I’d tell her the truth if I could. But some secrets still get people killed. Then I discover the impossible, someone has been feeding operational intelligence to the Committee. Echo Base is compromised, and if we alert the wrong person, the traitor disappears…and the team dies. Sarah is the only one I trust to help me stop it. Forced to work together, the past collides with the present anger, guilt, and the love we never finished tearing apart. I made the right call once. This time, I won’t lose her again. less
