The Sleeper SEALs are former U.S. Navy SEALs recruited by a new CIA counter-terror division to handle solo dark ops missions to combat terrorism on US soil.
The Sleeper SEALs are former U.S. Navy SEALs recruited by a new CIA counter-terror division to handle solo dark ops missions to combat terrorism on US soil.
Lt. Commander Keegan MacDonald has to face the fact his injury meant he was washed up as a SEAL, but who was he without the teams as part of his life? Even though he loved bikes, being a grease monkey at his uncle's motorcycle shop sure wasn't providing that answer.
When he gets a call for a special mission from the commander of a spec ops government contractor group, Keegan grabs onto the lifeline with both hands. Not only would he be helping find an intel leak which could jeopardize his teammates in the field, he might be able to find his own purpose during the mission too.
Keegan goes undercover at the Lily Pad, an off-base strip club where the government believes the special access intel is being passed, and quickly narrows down his suspects. The list includes Jules Lawson, a sexy, mouthy waitress who seems to have a hidden agenda.
When that agenda meshes with his own, and he finds out they are on the same team, but at opposite ends of the field, can they put together a partnership? Or will her inexperience and thirst for vengeance get them both killed?
Better yet, when the mission creeps into something much bigger than an intel leak, could he count on the beautiful agent to have his six while they saved the world? Or would she redefine his world in the process?

Exclusive Excerpt
Would she ever stop smelling like stale cigarettes and alcohol? She was almost afraid in the three months she’d been in the club that the smell had seeped into her skin so deep she’d never get rid of it. Fifteen minutes later, she dressed in her jeans and t-shirt, put on her belly band holster and slid her gun inside.
Tired as hell, she towel-dried her hair and felt marginally human again as she stashed her stuff back in her bag. And she still had six blocks to walk to the apartment the agency set up for her. Thank goodness that would be in tennis shoes instead of heels, she thought, hefting her bag onto her shoulder and cringing when she took a step on her swollen ankle.
She needed to ice it down and take ibuprofen as soon as she got home, or she wouldn’t be wearing heels tomorrow night. Limping to the back door, she opened it and stepped outside then leaned against the wall to inhale deeply. She coughed and covered her nose when the odor of hot garbage from the dumpster replaced the bar smell.
Her stomach rolled as she pushed off of the wall and took a step, but the bright security lights overhead were suddenly eclipsed by a large body. The hair on her neck raised as her heart skidded to a stop and she reached under the hem of her shirt. A large hand clamped down on her wrist, holding her hand tightly to her side before she could draw her weapon.
“Are you trying to weasel out of breakfast, Jules?” Keegan MacDonald asked, and his voice rumbling in her ears sent tingles down her neck.
“No, I’m not reneging, I’m just too tired tonight. How about a rain-check?” she asked, as his intense stare set her nerves on fire.
“It’s not night, it’s nearly three in the morning and it’s not raining,” he replied, as his hot breaths fanned her face and his intense energy buzzed around her. “I’m hungry, and you owe me breakfast.” His eyes made it look like he was hungry for more than breakfast, and Jules body wanted to offer him a buffet at that moment.
But she didn’t know anything about him, and he could be the enemy.
“Move your hands,” she said, trying to slide her hand from under her shirt.
“Not until you promise not to shoot me,” he replied evenly, and a burst of fear caused her legs to buckle because he obviously realized she was carrying.
“I won’t shoot you if you get your hands off of me,” she grated, and he smiled as his hands fell away and he took a step back.
“My question is, why are you armed inside a bar? That could buy you time in jail if you ever had reason to be frisked, since you’re a civilian.” he said, and his eyes raked her from head to toe. “I’m sure there would be a line for that privilege.”
Jules felt like she had just had been frisked—with his eyes. Had this man made her out as an agent, or was he fishing?
“I think it would be obvious why I’m armed. I’m a woman and I work in a titty bar,” she replied, adding an eye roll for emphasis.

Release Blitz for Fast Lust by Lucy Felthouse
Out Now—Fast Lust by Lucy Felthouse (@cw1985) #badboy #biker #sexy #romance
Blurb:
When a straitlaced journalist and a fearless motorcycle racer are thrown into an interview together, will they find any common ground? Or are they destined to clash?
Gloria Heath loves her job as a lifestyle journalist. She also loves the perks—free meals, complimentary spa treatments, behind-the-scenes access and more. So when her boss sends her on an assignment to the British Superbikes tournament at Donington Park, she’s less than impressed. Sports are definitely not her thing, and her brief is to find a rider with an interesting back story and write about their journey. But how is she supposed to do that when she really doesn’t care one way or the other?
When she experiences the atmosphere and the racing, however, she starts to see the attraction. Soon after, she finds the perfect case study for her article. Rafe Donovan is fearless, ambitious, and the underdog of the tournament. He’s also drop dead gorgeous. She eagerly sets out to interview him, but soon discovers the bad boy biker is a tough nut to crack. The more she asks questions, the more he shuts down. Throw some chemistry into the mix and things go from bad to worse. Can she get the material she needs, or is her first foray into sports writing doomed to fail?
Note: Fast Lust was previously published in the British Bad Boys Boxed Set.

Excerpt:
Gloria Heath gaped at her boss, Graeme, unsure if she’d heard him correctly. No, no, she couldn’t have heard him correctly, because she thought he’d said he wanted her to go and cover the first round of the British Superbikes at Donington Park. She shook her head and chuckled. He must have said The Great British Bake Off. That sounded similar, didn’t it?
Graeme frowned. “Something funny, Gloria?”
She snapped her focus back to her editor and smiled. “Sorry. I must be going deaf, or mad, because I thought you said you wanted me to cover some motorbike race.”
His expression was stony. “I did,” he replied coolly. “Do you have a problem with that?”
Blinking, she opened her mouth, then closed it again. Narrowing her eyes, she said, “But I’m a lifestyle reporter. I cover—”
“I’m well aware of what you cover, Gloria. I’ve been your boss for three years—don’t you think I’m familiar with what you write by now?” He sighed. “I know it’s not your usual thing, and is way out of your comfort zone, but don’t you think a change would be nice? A bit of a challenge for you?”
Gulping, she replied, “A ch-challenge? Graeme… did I do something wrong?”
He rolled his eyes. “It’s an article, Gloria, not a bloody punishment. No, you didn’t do anything wrong. Your work is exemplary—always has been, and I’m sure it always will be. But I have one of the sports writers off sick, with no one else available to take his place, and not covering the first round of the British Superbikes is tantamount to blasphemy for our motorsport readers.”
A feeling of dread settled in her stomach, making her nauseous. “Do I… have a choice?”
Graeme raised his eyebrows. “I’m an editor, not a dictator. But come on, Gloria, do me a favour here. Like I said, there’s no one else to take his place—you’re the only one with time in your schedule. If I’m not mistaken, the stuff you’re currently working on isn’t time-sensitive. Sunday’s race, however, is.” He leaned forward and put his elbows on the desk, then flashed her a smile. “We’ll even put you up in a nice hotel, right near to the track. One little article, Gloria. You’ll be saving my life. Please.”
Gloria knew when she was beaten. Graeme wouldn’t force her, she knew that, but it was clearly very important to him. And he’d never asked her to do something like this before—he was generally very laid back, and let her get on with writing pretty much whatever she wanted to. So one article out of her comfort zone—albeit way out of her comfort zone—was the least she could do. “All right,” she said resignedly. “I’ll do it, for you. But you have to give me a full briefing on what exactly you’re looking for. The last thing I want is to end up writing something where I’ve taken completely the wrong angle.
“And,” she added, “where the hell is Donington Park, anyway?”
Graeme’s expression turned despairing. “In the Midlands, Gloria. Near Derby and Nottingham. North of Watford Gap.”
“Bloody hell, that’s miles away! Have I got to drive? I’ll need a pool car.”
“Drive, get the train, hell, you can even fly. The circuit’s next door to a bloody airport. I don’t care, as long as you go, all right?”
She folded her arms. “The train will be fine. Though a first class ticket wouldn’t go amiss.”
Graeme rolled his eyes. “Done.”
“And about the briefing…”
“Of course! I wouldn’t send you in there unprepared. Right, you go and carry on with whatever you were doing while I get all the arrangements sorted. Come and see me when you get here tomorrow morning, and we’ll go through everything you need to know.” She nodded and stood up, then turned to leave. “Oh, and Gloria?” She turned back. “Thank you. I really do appreciate it.”
“You’re welcome, boss. Just don’t make a habit of it, all right?” She winked to show she was joking.
Grinning, he waved a hand at her. “Go on, get out. I’ll see you in the morning.”

Blurb
NICOLE
I was supposed to get my happily ever after but instead I got betrayal, loss and heartache. I decided that what I needed was a new town, new job and new beginning. My intent was to stay away from any and all relationships, but little did I know that the Maynard family- more specifically Mace Maynard would not allow me to wallow in my heartache in peace.
MACE
She’s new, she’s sad and she never smiles- although sometimes I think she thinks she smiles. My plan was to become her friend and try my best to bring a smile to her beautiful face. But I was never prepared for the smart, feisty and sassy woman she turned out to be.
Now? Now I don’t want to be just her friend, I want more. I want to be the one to completely heal her wounds, kiss all the pain away and make sure that she stays happy but most of all I want to make sure she stays mine.
