He'd protect her from any threat... But what if the biggest threat is him? Doctor Anne Griffin is back in Oak Creek, Wyoming only because she has no other options. Here, she was always the shy, stuttering girl, invisible to everyone. Except Zac Mackay. The very reason she left in the first place. Zac's years in Special Forces taught him survival skills, and he's created a company--Linear Tactical--to teach those skills to others, so they never have to live in fear. Then why is Annie, the last person he'd ever want to hurt, afraid of him? Zac's determined to wipe the fear from the eyes of the woman who has never been far from his mind. And fix the mistakes--his mistakes--that put that look there in the first place. But a predator has set his sights on Annie. And now survival skills will become much more than lessons...

Cyclone

My code name is Aries. The stars say I'm aggressive, dominant, first in line to lead. The stars aren't wrong. Zodiac Tactical is my company. It's run by those I've chosen for their skills and ability to outmaneuver adversaries. We guard, protect, rescue...assist on the side of the angels. We eliminate the threat when nobody else can. My pastime of putting bad guys out of business has created powerful enemies, but I've always made sure there was nothing in my life I couldn't live without. Until now. Until her. She's not a warrior, she's an artist. She sees colors everywhere and greets the world-and me-with a smile. I knew I shouldn't come near her from the beginning, but she's everything I've never been able to be. And now a monster has taken her, caged her, to get even with me. My code name is Aries. And I will burn the world to the ground to get her back.

Aries

Code Name

Even angels have their demons. Jordan Reiss is well aware that if she was on fire the entire town of Oak Creek would probably go inside and make a sandwich. She can't blame them. Her father scammed half the town out of their retirement funds, and then she... She did so much worse. She doesn't expect forgiveness. But she's back in town with no other options and just wants to be left alone to live on the fierce Wyoming land she's missed so much during her six years in prison. Former Navy SEAL Gabriel Collingwood's callsign may have been Angel, but he'll be anything but to protect his sister. Especially from a pretty ex-con who has somehow weaseled her way into a job at his sister's new bakery. He doesn't trust Jordan, even with her big gray eyes and quiet smile. But when someone decides its time for Jordan to leave Oak Creek--preferably in a body bag--Gabe will have to put his distrust aside. Jordan needs her own guardian angel. And he happens to be one.

Ghost

Josie Jade

Some mistakes haunt you forever. Harlan Young knows that from personal experience. Walking away from Grace Townsend, even with the best intentions and no other choice, still haunts him to this day.

Here he can help train service and emotional support animals for former soldiers with PTSD. And maybe, just maybe, convince Grace to give him a second chance. He never expected that second chance to be in the form of a fake marriage in order to save the land she loves so much. But he'll do it, as well as help fight the danger closing in on her. She thinks she's alone, but she's wrong. She knew him as a boy, but now he's a man. And real men don't run.

She knows Aiden blames himself for his part, but she refuses to let her abduction define the rest of her life. She won't be a victim again. And she's going after what she wants: Aiden. Watching Violet transform herself into a fierce warrior is the sexiest thing Aiden has ever seen. The honorable plan would be to stay away from her--let her heal and grow without the shadow of his mistakes clouding her progress--even though every instinct tells him to claim her for his own. But when they discover the danger they thought they'd left behind is closer than ever, they'll have to confront their fears and fight side-by-side in order to survive. ***SHAMROCK is a stand-alone steamy romantic suspense, set in the LINEAR TACTICAL series.

A Collection of Military Romantic Suspense Books

Recipe for Danger

In this classic tale, originally known as Infiltration, from USA TODAY bestselling author Janie Crouch, two people reunite when they’re forced to worked undercover—and sparks still fly. The wrong place at the wrong time—that’s the only way Sophia Reardon could explain her predicament. She wasn’t even an FBI field agent and now she was being taken hostage. By her ex-boyfriend Cameron Branson. The moment Sophia walked into his undercover operation, Cameron warned her that his “employers” would want to break her. So keeping her by his side, pretending not to have feelings for her, was the best way to maintain his role in the dangerous organization, and the only way to keep them both safe. Because if they got their hands on her, she could expose him and his secrets. And then they’d no longer have any reason to keep her around… Originally published in 2014

Stealth

Daniel Clark is the leader. The one who ensures everyone makes it out alive. He took that responsibility seriously when he and his team served in the Navy SEALs together, and he takes it seriously now at the Resting Warrior Ranch. When he and his men broke up the Riders—the vicious dogfighting gang who also kept some human captives—they got everyone to safety. Except for the woman who'd been caged—Emma. She disappeared into the night. So when she shows up in his tiny Montana town—in bad physical shape, begging not to be taken to the hospital—Daniel can't believe it. He does the only thing he can: brings her home. He's a warrior, not a caregiver, but he'll have to be both in this case. The people after her don't just want to put her in a cage this time. They want her dead. But if they want to get to Emma, the'’re going to have to go through Daniel. And that's not going to happen.

Montana Freedom

Some nightmares you don't wake up from. Noah Scott spent two months in an enemy prison camp but made it out alive-unlike most of his SEAL team. He's one of the lucky ones but doesn't always feel that way with his scarred body and daily fight against PTSD. Working with the animals at the Resting Warrior Ranch helps. So what if he trains service dogs, fosters a couple of kittens, and has an alpaca as one of his best friends? He'll take whatever holds back the darkness. When beautiful Kate Tilbeck arrives at the Resting Warrior Ranch neck deep in danger, Noah knows he can't stand by silently. Especially when the threat centers around a dog fighting ring-and some of the pups he trained may be involved. But to save the animals he loves and the woman he can't get out of his mind, Noah will have to embrace the darkness he's pushed down for years. And hope he doesn't lose himself in the process.

Montana Mystery

No one is guaranteed tomorrow. Grant Carter knows that fact intimately. The shrapnel sitting on his spine from an IED is a daily reminder. But the constant pain won't stop him from working at the Resting Warrior Ranch, training service and emotional support animals to help people with PTSD—something else he's intimately familiar with. He'll fight for those who can't fight for themselves. When his neighbor, shy veterinarian Cori Jackson, is humiliated by her ex-boyfriend for things she'd like to experiment with in bed, Grant is more than happy to show her real men aren't threatened by an adventurous spirit. The more time he spends with her, the more he realizes the literal girl-next-door is the one for him. And when Cori finds herself in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy surrounding the animals she treats, Grant will make sure she makes it out alive. He's a fighter. Was one in the Navy SEALs and still is one today. And he'll fight for Cori. Even if it costs him everything.

Montana Desire

Kill first, ask questions later. It’s the instinct former-SEAL Jude Williams must fight every time someone touches him. His six months being tortured in an enemy prison camp may be long over, but he's got scars—all over his body and mind—keeping that time at the forefront of his psyche. So how could he even consider giving in to the desire he has for the town's coffeehouse owner? Lena Mitchell has big gray eyes and a bigger smile—she's full of life, right down to her purple and teal streaked hair. There are so many reasons Jude should stay away from her. So many ways he's bad for her. But when danger shows up on Lena's door, keeping his distance is no longer an option. He'll protect her from any threat. But who will protect him from her?

Montana Storm

Heath Kavanaugh lost years of his life working for a covert agency that ended up being the enemy. Knowing they put something inside his head--constant, incomprehensible whispers--is driving him crazy. He needs answers, but they're nowhere to be found. What he definitely doesn't need is to fall hard for his Linear teammate's younger sister, Jacquelyn--the adorable linguistics doctoral student who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Especially when Heath's attention puts her directly in the path of a danger he thought was gone for good. To stop it, they'll have to figure out what's in his head. And hope it doesn't destroy them all.

Shadow

Every single person Paige has drawn has ended up dead. And now she's drawn herself. Paige Jeffries' is the darling of the art world. Her works are original, compelling. But after a brutal attack two years ago -a savage beating from an unknown assailant-Paige has become all but a recluse. She knows her mind is broken. In her sleep she's drawing scenes of violence. Murders. Going to the cops isn't an option because they already think she's crazy. And they may be right. Seasoned homicide detective Brett Wagner is asked to look into a cold case nobody wants: the assault and battery of a local artist who claims to have drawn a picture of her own attack before it even happened. He remembers shy Paige from high school, and is driven to find her attacker, to believe her when nobody else does, to protect the innocent beauty. Because when he witnesses firsthand what Paige is drawing in her sleep, Brett realizes they are scenes from actual cases. Cases that had no connection until now. Portland has a secret serial killer, and Paige is somehow linked to his mind. And he's coming for her.

Critical Instinct

Eva Dempsey is out of options.

She’s made it to Oak Creek, Wyoming with two traumatized dogs, twenty dollars, and a fear of damned near everything.

Things that didn’t make it with her? Her self-esteem, confidence, or any way of supporting herself.

Theo Lindstrom knows how to survive. He proved it as a child when he had to keep himself and sister alive in the wilderness. Now he runs Linear Tactical, the company his adoptive father helped create, and teaches survival skills to others.

So he recognizes the desperation in the eyes of the petite beauty who’s pulled into town, and knows there’s more to her story than she’s letting on.

He normally keeps to himself—for very good reasons—but he can’t this time. Something about Eva draws him in a way he can’t resist, even knowing she’s got secrets. The deadly kind.

When the danger she's running from shows up, Theo’s not going to let her fight it alone.

This is his town.
This is his woman.

And he’ll protect both to his last breath.
