Morgan's Mercenaries #2
The Rogue
Soldier of fortune Sean Killian had faced many terrors, but nothing made him more wary than his latest assignment - protecting Susannah Anderson. Killian's past had left him hardened - full of secrets and nightmares. Yet there was something about Susannah that threatened to penetrate his tough shell.
Susannah had her own obstacles to overcome, but with Killian at her side, they didn't seem as daunting. She knew he was a man who would protect her from any harm.
Yet even as desire rose between them, she could feel his heart retreating. And losing Killian was one terror Susannah couldn't face...

360 books2,503 followersI've lived six lives in one and it all shows up in the books I write, one way or another.
I was always a risk taker and broke mustangs at thirteen years old in Oregon. I learn to break them with love, not threat or pain.
At 17 years old, I picked night-crawlers (worms) out in our Oregon orchards from 9pm to midnight, every night. I earned enough money to buy my school clothes and book. I also plunked down $600 to a flight company at the Medford, Oregon airport and asked them to teach me...a girl...to fly. I soloed in 12 hours, which is average. From that time until I left for the US Navy at 18, I had accrued 39 hours of flight time in my Cessna 150 single engine airplane.
I was in the US military and was an AG3 (weather forecaster). There was no airplane club, so I couldn't fly when I was in the Navy. But I could look at the clouds in the sky ;-).
Later, I flew in a B-52 bomber for a day and night mission (18 hours total), a T-38 Talon jet, USAF, where I was riding in a "chase plane" on a test flight in a Dragonfly jet.
I was one of the first AFLA (American Fencing League of America) women fencers to fence with epee and sabre. These weapons were closed to women because they were too 'heavy' for a female to handle. I said baloney and fought the males and won half my bouts. I was part of a surge of women fencers on the East Coast in the 1970's to push for equality in the sport. Together, we changed the sport and changed the mind of the men. Today? In the Olympics? Women now fence in foil, epee and sabre, thanks to what we did as a vanguard showing the world it could be done.
I then became a volunteer firefighter when I was a civilian once more, the first woman in an all - male fire department in West Point, Ohio for three years. I became a local expert not only in firefighting, driving the engine and tanker trunks, but also had training in hazardous material (Reynoldsburg Fire Academy, Columbus, OH).
My books always reflect what I experienced. If you like edgy, gritty, deeply and emotionally intense love stories with sympathetic heroes and heroines, check out my newest series that will be available mid-Oct. 2015, and it incorporates much of what I have lived.

As always, this is a great book. Sean Killian is a killer but only killing the bad guys. He is assigned as being a body guard, who has a hit man after her. He does a fine job, but she was shot at and narrowingly made it okay. Killian doesn't want to fall in love with Susannah but he can't stay away from her.

Too much drama and less action.

The Rogue
This is a good story with many twists and turns that keeps you reading. The characters were complex and interesting.

Second in the Morgan’s Mercenaries series. Not a great read for me. I felt like the same thing was being said over and over just in different words. It was exhausting.

For all I really like the Trayhearn kids stories... I do not like these Morgan's Mercenaries ones at all, I think.

It started off fine, but then it just dragged on and on and on and on and on.
