The Coast Guard Recon Series Box Set: Books 1-3

by Lori Matthews

Here's your chance to dive into the first three books in the Coast Guard Recon Series! Get DIVERTED, INCINERATED, and CONFLICTED in one box set.

It was all good in theory. Injured and not quite ready to go back to their respective special operations groups, the top brass were giving them extra time to get their shit together. The Coast.Guard invested millions in training in Nick and the rest of his new so-called team. They didn’t want to lose all that if they didn’t have to.


Diverted Nick Taggert’s new post as a United States Coast Guard team leader in Panama came as a surprise. He should’ve known from the instant Dr. Carolina Alvarez showed up on a Panamanian dock, things wouldn’t go according to plan. Now they’re on the trail of her missing medicine, and the assignment just turned deadly.


Incinerated When Chief Petty Officer Axel Cantor is sent to investigate the death of an American journalist on a cargo ship blocking the Suez Canal, it should be an open and shut case. He didn’t count on running into his ex- girlfriend Sloan Bishop or a cold-blooded killer.


Conflicted When Elias Mason runs into his ex-girlfriend on a gun bust, he has no clue she’s with the ATF. Soon he gets involved in an undercover op to bring down the man who killed his best friend. Little does he know Santiago is not working alone and his partners are far more deadly.

About the author

I grew up in a house filled with books and readers. Some of my fondest memories are of reading in the same room with my mother and sisters, arguing about whose turn it was to make tea. No one wanted to put their book down!
I was introduced to romance because of my mom’s habit of leaving books all over the house. One day I picked one up. I still remember the cover. It was a Harlequin by Janet Daily. Little did I know at the time that it would set the stage for my future. I went on to discover mystery novels. Agatha Christie was my favorite. And then suspense with Wilber Smith and Ian Fleming.
I loved the thought of combining my favorite genres, and during high school, I attempted to write my first romantic suspense novel. I wrote the first four chapters and then exams happened and that was the end of that. I desperately hope that book died a quiet death somewhere in a computer recycling facility.
A few years later, (okay, quite a few) after two degrees, a husband and two kids, I attended a workshop in Tuscany that lit that spark for writing again. I have been pounding the keyboard ever since here in New Jersey, where I live with my children—who are thrilled with my writing as it means they get to eat more pizza—and my very supportive husband.
