There is always something. Even when you grow to adulthood. You cross your fingers that you will wake up and the mystery will be solved. You get up and hope the sun shines. You open the door and know that the person standing there will protect you. You. The one that had been needing protection from a young age. You. The one that as a child was scared for life. You. The one that will never ever truly trust another man / boy. You. The one that is scarred on the inside. Where you hide it and keep it locked away. Why? Because you need to protect yourself. Why? Because you need to protect your little sister. Why? Because the pain and scars were from your parent. A man who took your childhood and screwed it up so badly you will do your best to stay away from him forever. But. The man is still there. Still tracking you both. The man who you Cannot. Ever Get. Away. From. Why? Because he was the man you called Daddy. Your father. Taken to a foster home, the two only counted on each other. Taking on their mother's maiden name they survived and grew strong. Mikayla learned self-defense. Trained. Met Kenneth O'Reilly. Started a Security business. The business grew and they expanded. Wynters Corp. Moving to California was another experience. Mikayla went, found a place and found something else. A man to trust? Not a new partner, not a new employee but something else entirely. Can she trust? Can she take a chance knowing of her past and, the biggest, can she open up to him and will he understand ... or leave?

The teams of KKM Securities consists of the Florida division, West Coast division and East Coast division. These men are teams of fighters. Most of them have served in the Armed Forces. The Florida group consists of the three main characters: King Mitchel / Army Special Forces.Korey Preston / Army Special Forces.Mica Whitmore / Navy SEAL.These men met overseas, became friends and then found each other when back in the States. Finding that you really can't leave where you been, what you saw and how you handled it, back in the desert. Together they made KKM Securities. Together they again fought for what is right. Together they took their teams that fought beside them and worked with them and started the West Coast team who consists of Army Special Forces also known as Shadow Walkers. And Navy SEALs for the East Coast teams. This group of books are 1 - 3, Kory, King & Mica. The three original KKM members. Their stories. BK 1Kory. Went undercover and 'found' Leigha. A small pixie that won his heart. He never told her and she never told him. Feelings. Ahh, loveBK 2King. Protector of family and his wife Kathrine. Before they even dated, there was a connection. I started that day at his family home. OK, he threw her in the pool, but at the time, he thought she was his sister. Did they have to do everything the hard way?BK 3Mica. Broken then found Kimberly and fought for her. Getting into the high-security had never been so hard. Before, the man at the desk always buzzed him in. This time? Shaking the door didn't work. Finding the silly card? Hum. Then getting in, finally. He was face-to-face with a woman that made his heart stop. And that wasn't because she was reaching for her gun. Read about the team of men who became brothers and who fought for and with their women. Sometimes it is hard to stay with a serious face and not laugh out loud at the stuff that happens...... But love finds a way.

She heard the sentence over and over go through her head, "Your parents are gone." First it was over the phone, then when she faced her Uncle after the family jet landed and now, today........ Julia Rose Carmichael is now alone. Going home, going through the motions for the funeral. A funereal of both parents from a deadly car accident. Julia Rose became a shell of herself as she goes on with her life. Then finding that she is a suspect in their death? Trying to understand what is going on as relatives arrive to mourn the loss? But they act as if they don't understand what is going on, and they did not attend the funeral? Really? The siblings don't know what the hell happened to their older brother and wife? Who do you trust? Handling things the best that she can all the while trying to juggle all the various people including the man trying to help her with this, Julia Rose has her hands full. And the need to ask everyone, 'What do you know about this'

The fact that Cass was indeed different. Being a person that could handle herself now physically as well as mentally. She grew into herself and yes, was asked to join an elite group. She did. She was one that morphed. Changed. Grew and spread her wings. A child grows into a woman. A choice is made, she moved and learned. Hits repeat and takes a chance. Learning and surviving. But at what cost? Cass never had friends, not when you graduate at age 10, college at age 16 and one day show up at home with paperwork for entering the Army? Mom was upset, Dad was surprised but they signed the papers and Cass left. Assigned to a group and changed yet again. Leaving the service was not a choice. She had been injured and now, again she made changes. One day, walking out of where she worked now she met Jesse King and she knew that another choice would be made again but would she do it? Was she ready? Can she morph one more time?

So here I go with a tale that starts in 1217 somewhere in Scotland. A story of how love transcends time. Of two that find each other? No, but find something more.One will move on and have to accept changes. Many changes. And survive. A young Lass named Rhosellyn, now at age ten and 7 years. Rhosellyn is an only child of William and Cynthya McMichael. Laird and Lady of Cliff Castle that sits at the far north end of English lands.The castle is a smaller one and sits beside a large cliff that oversees the channel entrance on one side and a mountain on the North with several valleys, farmland and a healthy forest.The English now want this strategic area to be the first post to see entrance into the channel. From here they tend to protect their English boarder from attack.They sent word for the Laird to surrender, and in doing so, the promise would be no bloodshed. They would allow the family and staff to leave with no consequences.The Laird of the Clan McMichael said no.Cliff Castle is now preparing to fight. All their people, clan families have been rounded up and brought inside the walls for protection. Safety is a priority. Those that wanted to leave, left. But most of them stayed. Stayed to help in the fight and protect Cliff Castle. To keep what is theirs.The wait is over as word came that the English are drawing near. Soon, the sound of drums faintly echoed from the valley below. The Laird and his warriors know that the last tree line had been entered.Even they have seen the animals scatter as their wood was invaded. Soon the English would be close. The castle and residents were preparing for war.

Russ McLaughlin US Texas Rangers is book 4 of the series. The Texas Rangers group of 5 is a group that was chosen to work together outside of their Units. In this book Russ has to 'go back' in time to when he was in the Marines. This time in his history is one that pains him when the memories return. PTSD is not fun, it's lonely and scary to handle without support. Russ's memory of the drone attack was hard. Russ first met the man who worked with him, P19. At that time the drone veered and P19 worked to get it back. Russ could only watch as the drone fought the control messages. Turned again and went down. Slamming into a school. Not the target. A school. The beginning of Russ's nightmares....... Now Russ, Jim. Baker and Tom head out to a 'hunting shed' owned by Kory Presto/n of KKM Securities. A firm where P19 / Doc / Connor MacWilliams works. Together these men will work it out and do their best to stop who is infiltrating the brains of all the drones out there. And, there happens to be a lot of drones suddenly out there popping up all over that need to be stopped.

KKM was formed by 3 men while in Texas. King Mitchel, Kory Preston and Mica Whitmore. Men that met overseas and made a connection that could not be broken. Mica made another connection, Kevin Rider. The slim young man was 'handling' thugs taking over a beach. Mica stopped, saw what was going on and later asked Kevin to work with KKM. Mica saw something in Kevin. Taught him about helicopters. Now Kevin is flying them, working for KKM Securities but not forgetting his history. Being in foster care, living and working with Patrick at the gym until the day that something happens and Kevin finds something more important to fight for, love. January Snow, police detective, undercover. Gets chased, threatened and finds that someone is threatening more than her job. Her life. They try to run her over. They trash her apartment. Is it a hit or something else? Whenever Kevin is around he is either throwing her to the ground to save her or holding her in his arms which confuses her. Knowing that Kevin would never harm her she lets him take her to safety. But is her heart safe?

"Sometimes the worst scars are those you cannot see-----" P. Baker was a loner. He did not have a family. He did not, according to him, have a life until the age of sixteen. This is when he enlisted and fudged on his age. He needed a place to sleep, food and a feeling of security. He was a foster child, and had hardly any place to be other than a school where he felt safe for a few hours in the day. Baker knew it was screwed up. He tried to protect the younger ones. So when the chance came for him to leave. He took it. The fight for even one single thing would no longer be a problem for him. He had thought and executed his plan. He could not look back because he could not take another with him where he was going. It hurt. But he made a note to himself that when he got the chance, he would check on the others. And prayed that they would live and grow and become a better person than the idiots that ran the house. The Army became his family. These people were real. When they spoke Baker knew exactly what they meant and how to interpret it. No more guessing games. Regulated. From the back area of Texas, from the wrong side of the tracks (where that even came from confused him), but he was more or less a hillbilly when it came to lots of things. He was naive in lots of ways. But fighting was not one of them. His tone, his speech, his interpretations of people may be limited, but his mind was there and he learned. Grew. Grabbed any and all information thrown at him. He left the home where he had stayed. Walked for two days to get there. It was late when he arrived so he slept at the back of the building. Huddled against a wall. Held his bag of belongings to his chest as he slept. Waited for the sun to raise then stood. Swiped the dirt off his pants and went in the front door. He had considered the Air Force which was next door. But Baker was a big young man. 6'6" and all brawn. He had worked construction for his last job. He could get books. Books that he read at night with a flash light. He learned what he wanted. Medical information. He had two tucked away in his pack right now. As a child he had mended bird's wings, helped neighborhood pets that needed it. Would set a broken finger, hand or arm. Worked with the Vet who came and even help birth cattle, sheep, and pigs. Looking back at Baker the Army Sergeant said, "The bus comes weekly. You are lucky that it comes today. If you are packed ...... They shook hands, the man stood and looked at the boy in front of him. Not the first child he had met that was looking for something better. And having to look up? Another new thing for him. The Sargent knew that the young man in front of him would survive. Handle the next step. So he stated, "When you swear in, there will be no turning back." Needing to know if this would be good for the boy. He saw the nod. Stepping back he said, "Stand tall. I will give you the oath, you repeat and give your name, and that is it." They both stood. Baker took a deep breath and smiled. Took the oath and felt the weight come off his chest. Baker, P. It was done. He was in the Army now. He gave the man in front of him a full smile. Years came and went, Baker learned and healed many. His hands knew what to do and those that met him learned that the big man had a heart of gold and hands that healed. He became a great surgeon even with no college training. It was natural to him. But there was another step. His heart that was still in Texas no matter where he lived, his next step was there ... to become a Texas Ranger. And Baker followed through.

A story of one that has to find out who, what, when, & where. First Kamryn Waters needs to find who she really is (or wants to be). I am talking about me. Finding ME. What she needs to get what she wants. When will this all come together for her. And last is where. Certainly not Boston. Both parents are gone. I can't be there, listening to their whispers in the walls. They loved each other so much. I need to be me. Start fresh. In order to do that I need to move on. So, I do. I move from Boston to a small town in New Mexico. Here I again need to prove myself in the department, but I also need to find a home and hopefully a boyfriend. Tinker Bell had Peter Pan The Disney Princess's each had their Prince But for Kamryn things are a huge toss-up. She thought that she had one, dropped him after the SOB said the word stagnant. Stagnant My foot. If anything I had to find time for him Dumped his ass that night. No longer will I need to even think twice about him. And the next morning I actually ran into..... A man. OK, let's clarify here, I was not watching, I had my head down, my mind occupied with the crap that went down last night and I literally ran into a wall of man. A chest exactly. On the sidewalk. On my cul-de-sac. O where am I going with this? And of course my jaw nearly hit the ground OMG. Be still my teeny tiny heart........... And the little angel me and devil me that sits on opposite shoulders. Weird. They are reacting the same? Both are jumping up and down excited, clapping their tiny hands and cheering....... Odd. They actually are working together this time? But then, I left. Turned and left. Stupid, stupid, stupid

B. Fairchild was requested, no. She was told to fly to the ranch and talk to the author. Barbara had read the book. Liked it. And yes, the author had requested her and only her to handle it. Why? She had no clue. But here she was, in the company jet flying over nothing. Serious here. There was nothing outside the window as the jet was landing. Landing on a strip of pavement in the middle of nowhere. She looked out the window and saw dirt. Getting off the jet, feeling the heat Barbara thought that she knew what Hell felt like. Noticing that no one greeted her she walked to the small building with 'Office' written on the door. There Barbara found out that the man she was to meet had passed away, but she was to continue on to the ranch. Going to the ranch took the fun out of everything. Dirt, heat and 2 1/2 hrs. made her feel like a wilted flower. First impressions? Don't make me laugh. But she wiped the dirt off her face and got out of the van. Turned and stopped in her tracks as she looked up at the cowboy coming down the steps. Did her heart quit? Shaking hands she felt the electricity. Did he feel it too? Together, Brett and Barbara handled the issues. Faxed the information to the studio and looked at each other. Lust or love? Barbara had no idea. But at her age, she was ready. Ready for 'the one'. The one that would make her a woman. Brett was handsome, but was he willing? The filming progressed, then 'things' happened that were not normal. Someone was doing their best to stop the movie. When Barbara's trailer on the set burnt, Brett stepped up security. Getting Barbara back to his ranch he felt he could protect her better. But not everything goes as planned.....

The FBI has a group in every state that have computers dedicated to find patterns. Some track cyber, some track vehicle incidents, some check MO's.

A face now studied the monitor and information and made a note in a section and then 'tagged' it for a specific file. That file then now went to a profiler - the work started.
