Ethan "Chaos" Watson never expected to use his skills as a former Navy SEAL and current search and rescue expert to track down Bigfoot. But when a paranormal investigator goes missing while filming in the mountains near Fallport, Virginia, Ethan and his team are called in to find the man. A task made harder when they're trailed by a camera crew. Camerawoman Lilly Ray was already reaching the end of her rope on the hokey, ridiculous paranormal shoot. Now the producer has ordered her to stick to the SAR team to get their every move on video. Admittedly not a hardship; she noticed Ethan her first day in town, and the more time they spend together, the more attracted she becomes. When the search stretches on for days, then weeks, it seems clear her co-worker didn't just wander off trail, getting lost in the woods. Foul play is evident, and soon, everyone on the cast and crew is suspect. As the team steps up their search, someone is equally determined to use the disappearance to their advantage. Then Lilly herself goes missing, and Ethan and his team will turn over every rock and leaf in the Appalachians to locate her...before it's too late. He wasn't looking for love, but it found him anyway-and he's not letting anyone take away the woman who's become his whole world.** Searching for Lilly is the first book in the Eagle Point Search & Rescue Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

As a civilian contractor, Sierra Clarkson thought she'd found the perfect way to serve her country, short of joining the military...until she was kidnapped from a base in Afghanistan. Turns out terrorists don't care if you're a soldier or not; everyone bleeds the same. Even worse, no one knows she's been taken. Her missing belongings point to desertion-which means no one is looking for her, eitherBut someone is. Fred "Grover" Groves never forgot the redheaded spitfire working the chow line on a base in the Afghani desert. He'd felt an instant attraction to the petite woman, a connection deep in his bones...which Sierra herself clearly didn't feel, since she'd promised to keep in touch after his mission ended, only to ghost him-and seemingly her job. But she didn't. When several contractors go missing from the base, it looks more and more like Sierra didn't abandon her post. Then a long-lost letter proves she'd followed through on her promise to stay in touch with Grover-and suddenly, all bets are off. He bucks every protocol he's ever known after returning to Afghanistan. If Sierra's still alive, he'll find her. Or die trying. But Sierra is hardly a damsel in distress. Grover witnesses her strength and bravery firsthand in a dark desert cave. And at home, against a common enemy, he'll witness her sheer nerve, her deep love, as they both fight for the life they're trying to build together.** Shielding Sierra is the 8th and final book in the Delta Team Two Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
