For those of you who have become fans of the KNIGHTS OF KSI Series, the story a lot of you have been waiting for is here! Introducing the story of Zane Wilder and Bridget Kincaid in Knight's Journey.

Zane has been fighting his feelings for his friend and co-worker, Sydney Reede, the heroine of Knight's Rescue (Book Two). The problem is that Sydney is engaged to his teammate Cole Atwood, and Zane has agreed to give Sydney away on her wedding day.

So what does the Alpha Team member do? He runs...straight into an undercover assignment to take down infamous gun runners. The De la Pena crime family was introduced in Knight's Temptation (Book Three).

So yes, that are references to previous books in the series. And yes, there are updates on some of our favorite characters from the previous books. But they are all standalone books. I want readers to read any of my books that interest them without having to worry about any kind of order. I've discovered some of my favorite authors this way, so this is a trend I definitely wanted to continue.

Now back to Knight's Journey. The story picks up a year into Zane's undercover operation. A meeting gone wrong has him crossing paths with Bridget Kincaid, who has recently moved her small family to Grayson Cove. Bridget is raising her teenage niece and nephew, but their grandparents are pulling out all the stops to steal custody away from her.

Zane and his three older sisters were raised by a single mom after their father's unexpected death. He understands Bridget's situation and is convinced to help her keep custody of her niece and nephew.

Bridget is smart and sassy and independent and smart and human. She's everything I love in a heroine, and she's everything Zane needs in his life. But our hero is torn - between the case he wants to close and the woman he wants to help. Throw into the mix their red hot chemistry, and complications ensue!

In keeping with any Shelley Justice book, this is a contemporary, romantic suspense story with a HEA. And a heads up for my faithful readers, there's a pleasant surprise at the end that I hope will having you saying, "Awwwwww!" I know I did when I wrote it.

Knight's Journey releases Tuesday, July 20, but it is up for preorder now! The ebook is ready, and I'm hoping the paperback will be ready when the book goes live tomorrow. Those of you with a Kindle Unlimited subscription will be able to read the ebook for free.

I hope you check out KNIGHT'S JOURNEY and leave a review here on Goodreads or on Amazon and Bookbub to let me know what you think. Happy reading!
