SEIZED BY DARKNESS (Book 1)Innocence lost in a heartbeat.
Killing to save her child would never be an issue for a mother.
For eight long years, hostage Nicole Carson lived a nightmare as the mistress of a mafia lord. When her captor brings home another kidnapped victim, she seizes the first opportunity to save herself, her son, and the young girl, leaving the Russian for dead. In order to stay alive and save the family she hasn’t seen in years from the mafia’s wrath, she must disappear as if she’s never existed. Captured by the U.S. Marshals with the kidnapped girl, Nicole, who is known as the kingpin’s woman, quickly strikes a bargain with the Marshal’s team leader, William Haus. She agrees to secure evidence against the mafia and in return she’ll earn a new life for herself and her son. But when Haus learns Nicole’s true identity, he wants to call the operation off. Nicole and her son become the prize neither the U.S. Marshall or the ruthless mobster will give up.
OBSESSED BY DARKNESS (Book2)Innocence collides with hard reality.
Chase Hunter, the youngest member of the elite U.S. Marshal C.U. F. F. Team, heads an operation on a college campus where a new drug is sweeping the campus, costing young lives. Chase’s own demons surface and he fights to determine when to trust his gut and when to obey orders, especially when it comes to their number one person of interest, chemistry graduate student Emma Lewis. A murderer’s plan changes as the heat on campus rises and Emma becomes the target of the psychopath. Then she goes missing.
LOVED BY DARKNESS (Book 3)Innocence must be protected.
A two-year-old child is found adrift on the Atlantic. It’s the job of the Cape James Police Chief, Norris Stiles, to learn who left the girl to die. New to the area, and the job as chief, he might be out of his depth. Fortunately help has arrived. Unfortunately, the feisty and beautiful U.S. Marshal could distract him from his obligations.
Burnt out by grueling covert missions, U.S. Marshal Jolene Martinez heads home to the Virginia Coast for a much-needed vacation, only to become embroiled in a heart-breaking child abandonment case. When she saves the child, the case becomes personal for Jolene, and she’s determined to solve the mystery with or without the chief’s support.
