Operation: Beach Angel

Thu, 20 Aug 2020 19:16:19 +0300

Landon ‘Lambchop’ Johnson, Navy SEAL, Team Leader of Shepherd Security’s Delta Team, strong, resilient, proud, brave, highly trained, patriotic, Pastor. His teammates wonder how he reconciles the job he does with his deep, abiding faith.

Lambchop was brought up going to church services with his momma and grandma in Pittsburgh, before enlisting in the Navy at the age of eighteen. But it was on the battlefield that the teachings in his youth made sense to him, and his religious self was born.

There in hell, while he viewed levels of death and inhumanity that he could not have fathomed his belief and love for Jesus Christ took hold of his soul. He never hesitated to do his job as an Operator. God would sort them out. That was his job. Lambchop’s was to execute each mission with precision and to perform exceptionally, which is what he did.

He quickly earned the respect of his fellow Operators and the officers within the Teams. He was known as a straight shooter, a SEALs SEAL, a leader, and a Pastor. When Shepherd recruited him, he eagerly accepted the offer. He found a home at Shepherd Security and formed intense connections to the other men and women who worked there.

He’s watched his brothers fall in love, married them, baptized their children. In this installment of the Shepherd Security Series, Lambchop finds his soulmate amid the chaos of missions.

Even though the story does continue from book to book, each is a stand-alone story and can be read without reading the prior book(s), but they are best enjoyed in order.

Operation: Healing Angel

Fri, 20 Aug 2021 19:16:22 +0300

Colonel Samuel ‘Big Bear’ Shepherd, retired on paper only. A West Point Graduate, he served his entire career in the Special Operations Command where he made the necessary contacts to make his agency, Shepherd Security, a reality. His agency was born from the need to have an independent, highly trained, and specialized group that could work outside of the system to accomplish what could not be done within the highly bureaucratic and often ineffectual governmental organizations.

Shepherd never shied away from getting his hands dirty. He actively engaged, leading his men on the toughest missions. It was on one such mission, nearly five years ago, that Shepherd was shot in the abdomen. Significant damage resulted from his injury, and he has been confined to a wheelchair since. Over the past few months, the pain has increased as well as other sensations in the lower half of his body.

His life has been focused on the mission, leaving little room for any personal distractions…until he meets the attractive and intelligent doctor who immediately impresses him. The doctor who will change his life.

Dr. Diana Palmer is a highly educated practitioner in multiple disciplines to bring the most effective treatments to her patients. Every second of her life focuses on her work with a patient wellness with a holistic approach and mindset, leaving little time for personal relationships outside of her large, close family. Her last romantic relationship while in med school ended with a pathetic whimper, two extremely busy people who had no time for each other. That was one mistake she vowed she would never repeat…until she meets the enigmatic recluse whom she finds to be both warm and personable as well as intelligent and kind. He communicates in a matter-of-fact manner that she respects. She is as attracted to his personality as she is to him physically, a wrong mindset to have, given that he becomes her patient.

Operation: Recruited Angel (Shepherd Security Book 2)

Mon, 12 Nov 2018 09:43:25 +0200

Shepherd Security recruits only the best. They can protect someone in trouble like no other because they work in the shadows, invisible, and outside the system where the rules don’t apply–just the oath they took. They don’t exist. That’s also why they can break any suspect and can get answers out of anyone accused. That’s when they’re called in, when someone must be protected at all costs, or when answers must be obtained, by any means necessary. Madison Miller served ten years in the United States Army and planned to make it her career. But she separated after a mission went horribly wrong in the Middle East. For two years, Madison was a happy civilian who didn't have to question if women or children would blow themselves up to take out those who were there to help them. Nor did she have to make the call on whether to neutralize a threat or not, based solely on her instincts. Madison thought she'd dealt with the ghosts from her past. When Shepherd Security approaches her with a job offer that she can't refuse, she realizes that she was wrong. Shepherd Security accepted two cases they need a female Operator to complete. A LinkedIn search brings them to Madison Miller. Convincing her to take the job is their first hurdle. Her rushed training on the male-dominated team is the next. For Cooper, acting as her Supervisory and Training Officer, his biggest problem will be keeping his interest in her professional. She's beautiful, intelligent, more than capable–an attractive spitfire he can't resist. Warning, this story is realistic, with adult language and content on the way to the HEA. This is book 2 in the Shepherd Security series. Even though the story does continue from book to book, each is a stand-alone story and can be read without reading the prior book(s), but they are best enjoyed in order.

Mon, 12 Nov 2018 09:43:25 +0200

Angel Matthew’s day started like any other…until she ran into the armed man in the hallway at work. What came next was a blur, a hostage ordeal, a terrorist attack, explosions and gunfire, a fight for her life. Then she wakes with a head injury and finds herself in the custody of a group of armed men, who won’t disclose exactly who they are. One of them, the attractive and attentive Jackson is kind and Angel finds herself trusting him, falling for him. Shepherd Security recruits only the best. They can protect someone in trouble like no other because they work in the shadows, invisible, and outside the system where the rules don’t apply–just the oath they took. They don’t exist. That’s also why they can break any suspect and can get answers out of anyone accused. That’s when they’re called in, when someone must be protected at all costs, or when answers must be obtained, by any means necessary. Sometimes it’s not clear, though, is the person in their custody a witness or the perpetrator, a friendly or a foe, innocent or guilty as sin? Angel Matthews fits into this category–where exactly needs to be determined. Warning, this story is realistic, with adult language and content. It does contain one scene of violence and abuse, followed by healing and strength on the way to the HEA.

On-line, they have an amazing relationship that he treasures. After a particularly rough mission, he decides he wants to meet her.

Dr. Annaka Sanchez loves her life. She’s a marine biologist lucky enough to study beluga whales in their natural habitat.

He is funny, smart, and a competitive player, traits that she finds attractive. All she knows about him is that his first name is Danny. She doesn’t know how old he is, where he lives, or what he does for a living, but she has fantasized about meeting him.

When danger finds her, Mother and the Shepherd Security Team will use all their skills and training to find her, protect her, and bring down those responsible!
