FALLEN COMRADE, book #1 in the Project Morpheus romantic suspense series, is being published by Evernight and I cannot squee enough about how much I love this book!
This is the book that has been in the ether for about 6 years. In the book, I took some big-time writing risks and tackle challenging topics and situations. Quite frankly I allow things to get very uncomfortable and scary (spoiler alert, it's a happily-ever-after -- no worries -- I've got you!). It was emotionally difficult for me to write and even harder to execute with appropriate sensitivity and, also ... application of the laws of physics (you'll see what I mean when you read it).
Here's my blurb:
Ex-Green Beret Jake Zimmerman’s Georgia mountain seclusion is shattered when the one woman he should never have left, pregnant Kiera McNeill, shows up on his doorstep. Her life is in danger, thanks to a botched Morpheus Squad mission. If the nature of her baby is discovered, evil forces will stop at nothing to capture Kiera. When Kiera learns of Jake’s top-secret Morpheus Virus running through his veins, she realizes that her protector is the deadlier threat.
Kiera knows the secrets of Fallen Comrades, a billion-dollar “charity” which siphons donations away from wounded veterans and into the pockets of power-hungry CFO Beau Lequire. Now her sadistic ex-boss, Lequire, wants revenge. Her only chance of escape rests in the lethal hands of the man who once rejected her: Jake. All she needs to do is suppress her feelings for Jake long enough to destroy Fallen Comrades, stay alive, and save her baby.
I can't wait for readers to jump into the world of the Morpheus Squad with all the extra EXTRA ALPHA-ness of this group of ex-Special Forces team who were subjects of a military experiment gone dreadfully wrong. Now they are super soldiers ... and ticking time bombs.
But you know how I roll -- in my books even an alpha male will sacrifice his heart and body for the people in his life. He cares about others and the world around him, ensures consent with his partner and respects his partner, and knows how amazingly smart and savvy his partner is and how lucky he is to be with his partner. Hey, look: those are the rules in my books!
Big thanks to my fabulous ARC team and reviewers who have had such kind things to say about this book! I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to read and comment on this story! Your excitement and feedback makes me want to write the next book. (Insider hint: It's already written and it is a WILD RIDE! With the next book, HIDDEN COMRADE, I will break your heart* and then put it back together even better.)
If you've thought about checking out FALLEN COMRADE, please consider PREORDERING HERE. Those preorders really help give a boost when the book goes live on 7/26/22. The more boost, the more people who see it, the more action/adventure/love I get to spread into the universe!
Here's my amazing cover!!!
*Not literally breaking your heart, because that would be malpractice and whatnot. Next book will emotionally tug at some heartstrings with so much sexy vulnerability that still manages to occur even when the couple is running for their lives. You have to see it to believe it. >STAY TUNED!<
