Silent Access
A rogue government faction—AC10—is out for blood.
FIRE (Federal Investigations and Reconnaissance Enforcement) is the only thing standing in their way.
FIRE agent Isobel “Izzy” O’Keefe doesn’t back down from a fight. Smart, deadly, and armed with a custom taser whip, she lives to take down threats. But when her body begins showing signs of a mysterious neurodegenerative illness—and her partner is captured—Izzy’s mission turns personal fast.
FBI profiler A.J. Cooper is sent undercover as Izzy’s new partner to expose the traitor leaking intel from inside FIRE. Working alongside her is part of the job. Falling for her isn’t. Especially when the enemy always seems to be one step ahead.
As AC10 prepares to weaponize stolen biometric tech, Coop and Izzy must navigate deadly traps, shifting loyalties, and the ticking time bomb of her failing health. One misstep could cost them the mission—and each other.
Silent Access is a fast-paced suspense thriller with a slow-burn romance that simmers through six explosive books.
While the books can be read out of order, beginning with Book 1 is recommended, as key story threads unfold across the series.

About the author
K.T. Coatney
3 books7 followersUnder the name K.T. Coatney, I write fast-paced suspense featuring the elite agents of FIRE—Federal Investigations and Reconnaissance Enforcement—where danger is real, the stakes are high, and love is the last line of defense.
As Kathy Coatney, I bring that same passion for storytelling to deeply emotional, small-town contemporary romance. My novels explore themes of love, community, and the agricultural roots that have shaped my life. Some readers may remember me as
Kate Curran, but these days, all my books are published under the Coatney name.
I’m also the author of the nonfiction children’s series From the Farm to the Table and Dad’s Girls, celebrating the journey from farm to fork.
When I’m not writing, you’ll find me at the gym strength training, biking, skiing, or jogging (at tortoise speed).

A fast-paced thrill ride! The FIRE group is a super-secret agency with technology, firepower, and toys that would make even James Bond salivate. Pair that with a slow-burn romance between new partners Izzy and Coop, and it's an unbeatable combination. When Izzy and Coop work with the rest of the FIRE team to bring down a militia group trying to take down the agency, the adventure is nonstop. Don't miss this story chock-full of fascinating characters and thrilling suspense. I can't wait for the next book in the series!

Silent Access is an amazing action/suspense novel. The action starts on page one and never lets up. I loved Izzy and Coop. They are competent, highly motivated individuals who don't back down when things heat up. The feelings between Izzy and Coop were evident but took a backseat to the plot. I enjoyed all the gadgets designed by FIRE. The secondary characters were integral to the success of Izzy and Coop. They were well-defined characters who played vital roles in bringing down AC10 and capturing the mole. I am anxiously awaiting book two in the series. If you like well-written action with resourceful characters, I urge you to read this book.

If you like clever action/adventure with a dash of romantic mystery/suspense, you’ll love K.T. Coatney’s Silent Access. As a fan of J.D. Robb, it has the gadgetry I love as well as delicious sexual tension building between the two main characters, reluctant new partners, Izzy and Cooper. These special agents must trust and rely upon one another during what develops into a high stakes rescue mission, but who can they trust when their own agency could be compromised? I highly recommend Silent Access to all romantic suspense lovers and eagerly await the second book in the series.

Silent Access grabbed me from page one and never let go. Izzy is fierce, smart, and unforgettable—her custom taser whip alone makes her a standout heroine. The suspense kept me glued to the pages, and the slow‑burn chemistry with Coop had me swooning. High‑stakes twists, emotional depth, and nonstop thrills… I can’t wait for the next book in this series!

Action that grabs you at page one and never lets go. Great start to a series. The author builds an intriguing world filled with secret agents and dastardly villains, and really cool gadgets! Izzy, the female lead is spunky and smart, and FBI profiler AJ Cooper can't help but fall hard. Really fun read!

Not for me
It was so “already been there and done that” coupled with bad editing that did this book in for me. Very disappointing…
