Heroes For Hire (AI Narrated)

The only constant in life is change…and it's not always for the better.

After an operation gone wrong that laid him low, Levi's obsession to find the men who betrayed him has grown to the point where nothing else seems to matter to him anymore. Although he's physically recovered from his injuries and has started his own company, Legendary Securities, when he catches the scent of the last man on his most-wanted list, he becomes a missile locked on his target. The very man he's hunting is hunting him as well…and fully intends to finish the job he started by taking Levi out once and for all.

For every step of Levi's journey toward rebuilding his life, Ice has been there for him. The places where she can't join him--where he won't allow her inside--are the hardest ones to reconcile because she knows their relationship has reached an impasse. One wrong word, one false step may mean the last kiss for them…and ultimately the end of the road for all her hopes and dreams.

Just as Levi has been at a standstill, waiting to get his final revenge, Ice can't resolve the heart of her conflicts until the monster that nearly destroyed their world is brought down for good. But the killer isn't just targeting Levi anymore. If she and Levi don't move fast, their future--whether separate or together--will be forfeit.

Stone is finally living his life again after a long, slow recovery. Working at Levi's new company, Legendary Securities, he takes his first job, not expecting the fast-and-furious action to hit straight out of the gate in the rescue of a senator's daughter kidnapped in the Middle East.

Lissa will do almost anything to thwart her father’s nefarious plans for her. The last thing she expected was to be kidnapped. She's rescued by Stone and their meeting throws her for another loop when she falls hard for him. Even when he returns her safely Stateside, it seems there's no respite from the nightmare that follows her home, catching her in the very worst of the situation.

This battle will require everything Stone and Lissa have to give. Even as they work together to clear her name and keep her safe, the harbinger lurks just around the corner…

Love never fades…

Injuries that require months of lost time are finally a thing of the past, and Merk sails from mission to mission with Legendary Securities, thrilled to be active once more. But when his ex-wife contacts him, panicked and needing his help, he rushes to get to her in time…only to have her snatched away right before his eyes.

When trouble finds her, Katina's first and only thought is her ex-husband Merk. Although they haven't spoken in a decade, nothing about their attraction to each other has changed. If anything, her reaction to him is deeper and stronger than ever before. But, while she reels from all they've lost, her life is on the line and her only focus is staying alive.

Katina has something that others want badly enough to make them risk anything to get, no matter how evil their plan, no matter who they have to kill to get it…

Even when evil lurks in the shadows, second chances are possible... 

Years ago, Rhodes knew Sienna as a young, gawky girl who was all elbows and carrot-colored hair without an ounce of grace. Despite her clumsiness, she'd had something special about her even then. Now she's all grown up, and Rhodes still can't seem to ignore her. One glimpse has him thinking about a lot more than old times. But, sweet and lovable as she is, Sienna has rightly been called a trouble magnet--even while inside a military- secure compound that should be the ultimate safe haven.

Sienna had an epic-sized crush on Rhodes when she was a kid and he was her brother's best friend. Now he's a grown man, hunky and hotter than her wildest fantasies could have imagined. New to the job at Levi's company, Legendary Securities, she doesn't want to jeopardize her position by spending all her time daydreaming about Rhodes so close to her now and yet still so far away.

When she's asked to help on a mission, she eagerly agrees, hoping to score some points with her employer…except she inadvertently triggers a sequence of disastrous events that no one--even one familiar with Sienna's klutziness the way Rhodes is--could have predicted.

Some jobs are a breeze, others are a bitch…

As a trial run that could potentially lead to more work, Flynn agrees to do a security operation for Levi at Legendary Securities. Looking after Anna and her animal shelter should be the easiest job he's ever taken. He doesn't expect the trouble to start when he leaves, job done, and realizes he never wants to leave Anna again.

For Anna, having Flynn around was both a blessing and a curse. She'd enjoyed the help around the extremely large shelter…but every moment they spent together had sparks of wildfire ricocheting between them. Even as she tries to convince herself she's relieved to finally see the (albeit sexy) back of him, he's monopolizing her thoughts again long before she stumbles over the dead body.

Someone is after Flynn, someone who saw Anna and Flynn together, saw the red-hot attraction…and now knows exactly how to get what he wants from his target.

Logan heads to Boston on an intelligence reconnaissance mission for Legendary Securities. His investigation plunges him--and the inadvertent partner he picks up along the way--into the dark, chilling world of human trafficking. 

The last thing Alina remembers was having coffee at the hospital cafe where she's employed. Awakening in a strange apartment, she finds herself tied up. Until Logan appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, and rescued her, she'd feared life as she'd known it was over.

The traffickers have a quota and letting even one potential moneymaker go isn't in the cards. Alina is far from the only victim. On the run together, Logan and Alina race against time, no longer certain who's the hunted and who's the prey in the sordid, heartbreaking underworld they've descended into.

When a call for help comes from the father of his boss Levy's woman Ice, Harrison answers. A senator has been shot, his wife beaten and the man's kids are in the wind. With a press-conference's-worth of questions needing answers, Harrison has his job cut out for him. Unfortunately, that's not all that's expected of him. The senator's adult daughter is also missing. She's ex-military and apparently has a grudge against the world. She doesn't want to be found, and, even after Harrison locates her, she refuses to have a single blessed thing to do with him. If only he felt the same…

Zoe's on a mission that doesn't leave room in her worldview for heroes, especially a gorgeous badass warrior like Harrison, whom she considers little more than a mercenary for hire. Good thing Harrison has never been the type to take 'no' for an answer because the situation--and their relationship--has all the ingredients of a powder keg requiring one small spark to ignite it. Zoe has angered exactly the wrong people…and they're plotting to put an end to her meddling…and her…permanently.

Saul is a man who knows the incomparable value of a good friend. So, when he’s called on by Legendary Securities to find Benji’s missing brother, Daniel, he doesn't hesitate to take the mission. Delving deeper into the situation brings on the uncomfortable suspicion that Daniel might be involved in things a lot darker than avoiding Benji's phone calls.

Rebel has been haunting Daniel's apartment, looking for a friend of hers who's missing. When the bodies start piling up, she's terrified her friend will be the next victim. But Rebel's isn't the type to sit on her hands and wait for the worst to happen--ex-SEAL or no ex-SEAL.

She makes it clear that if Saul doesn't get out of her way, she'll run right over him.

Maybe to other people, that would be a threat. To Saul, it's a promise he wants her to keep…preferably before the messy situation with their friends blows up and takes them all out.

When a young woman darts into traffic and into Dakota’s path, life takes a dark turn for both of them.

Bailey, recovering from the loss of her husband, retreated from life. Going to work and coming home was the extent of her days and weeks. Until she walks into work early one morning, witnesses a murder and flees into traffic, nearly getting killed.

The near death experience awakens the spark of life inside of her. So does the man in the car. A different kind of a spark.

For her safety, Dakota persuades her to move into the compound with him and the rest of the Legendary family while they track down the killers.

Bailey is forced to accept Dakota’s help. But can she stay safe long enough for the police to track down the killer? Or is the man who almost ran her over going to steal her heart?

Hardened Navy SEAL Michael Stanton walked away from his career a year ago and never had any intention of returning. But when his former commander calls with the bad news that an old friend of his was murdered while undercover, Michael can't say no to helping track down the culprit.

Aware that the next dead body might be his own, Michael agrees to take his deceased friend’s place at the home of a terrorist. His official mission: Find all he can to bring this crook's operation down. His personal mission: Find out who murdered his friend and return the favor. 

Mercy's sister was employed as a maid at the terrorist's home. When her sister disappeared, the police couldn't find any leads about where she might have gone or what happened to her. Mercy isn't nearly so complacent. She decides that, since they can't help her, she'll be the one to save her sister if it's the last thing she does.

Michael and Mercy meet up inside the terrorist's house, where suspicions--and passions--flare instantly between them. Neither of them are what they're posing to be, but can they find a way to work together to uncover the truth they both need to know? Or will the terrorist get wind of traitors in his home and take care of them before they can take care of him?

After losing his wife and child years ago, Tyson feels he's ready to get on with his life. But, when his wife's best friend casually mentions she has a stalker, he initially agrees to help her out of lingering loyalty to his late wife. He quickly realizes that being at Kai's side, any way he can get there, seems more right than anything else has in too long.

Even before Tyson married her best friend, Kai had found herself absolutely smitten with him. Unfortunately, from the moment her best friend laid eyes on him, the two were like a lock and key. Kai is in charge of leading a demonstration at Legendary Securities for a new training program her company has developed. With Tyson as part of the trainee group, she's right back where she started with him. Maybe her life has changed drastically, but her heart has always been available to him. Admitting she has a problem she might not be able to handle on her own isn't easy for a badass like Kai. But she can't downplay her own personal stalker for long, not with someone like Tyson.

As the two delve deeper into her troubles--and mutual feelings for each other--complications multiply into something fatal.

As the investigation develops, more bodies turn up. Evidence of jealousy, greed and insurance payouts that shouldn’t have been dispersed come to light. Emily pairs up with sexy Jace to delve into twisted, personal cases that may lead to even more murders if they don't figure this out…fast. 

Rory is an animal lover. In his mind, any veterinarian who does as much pro bono work as Louise, the local vet, deserves his help when she gets into trouble...

Louise works long hours at her own veterinarian clinic. When she receives an unexpected delivery one day, complete with a dead deliveryman, a domino-series of events puts her and her clinic full of precious animals in danger.

Rory is the first to volunteer to keep her safe. Professional reasons quickly become personal. Louise is everything he's ever wanted and never expected to find in a single woman. He's looking forward to a future together, and the only way to ensure that is to stop whatever's endangering her and her animals.

Unfortunately, the killer isn't leaving a witness to his crimes.

Brandon, the newest member of Levi’s team at Legendary Securities, heads to Africa. Bullard purchased a new holding there, but, shortly after arriving, went missing. 

Kasha has worked for Bullard for five years. She's familiar with most of those who work for Legendary as well. Brandon proves his worth almost immediately, planning her boss’s rescue and staying right by her side in the days that follow while they determine what imbroglio Bullard's stepped into. Accident or a deal gone horribly wrong, it seems Bullard was running guns and now his newest holding is under attack.

Their emotions, heightened by danger, run hot as Brandon positions himself instinctively at Kasha’s side--which is exactly where he hopes to be permanently if they can just find a way out of this rapidly escalating mess.

When former Navy SEAL Liam O'Brian joins Legendary Securities, he looks forward to being shipped somewhere exciting for his first mission with Levi and his crew. Instead, he learns exotic and enormous aren't exactly synonymous when he stumbles upon the oversized pachyderms inhabiting his new backyard. Still, conflicts are universal and Liam's troubles are only just beginning once he finds himself falling for a woman deeply rooted in her family's livelihood and problems.

Go-getter Lilianna Howell is a biologist who believes all problems can be reduced to minor ones if only they're nipped in the bud early enough. When her dad can no longer deal with the loss of his son and his detachment threatens the elephant reserve, Lilianna steps into a much larger role, handling the marketing and fundraising. Being close to her sister and her husband--once Lilianna's fiancé--forces her to struggle with distrust from that past experience and a growing attachment to a man who appears in her life like a dream come true.

Mammoth issues escalate as Liam and Lilianna team up to save the gentle giants, their newfound love… and their own lives.

A former SEAL working for Legendary Securities, North Dockter has found the very circumstance that challenges even his stalwart, chivalrous ways.

When she discovers someone is smuggling drugs through her company's warehouse and her life is threatened, Nikki flees to her aging grandfather's home in England to lay low and regroup. He's always been there for her, and, if ever she needed a bolthole to make changes in her life, it's now. Maybe it’s time to return to the States…particularly after meeting North and realizing the attraction between them is more than she believed possible.

But Nikki soon realizes that no place is safe after her grandfather is attacked in his home. Even with her gorgeous guardian angel hovering close by, will she be too late to make all the changes she's envisioned?

Reyes Drere came from a long line of gardeners. He’d known since he was little which way his life was going to go and it had nothing to do with planting seasons. When he joined Legendary Securities after eight years as a Navy SEAL he’d been avoiding going home and joining the family business.

The family business included an ex-fiancé he had no wish to see again. Her sister was a good friend but there was nothing more dead than a dead love – unless it was a dead ex-fiancé…

Raina is reeling from the shock of seeing the only man she’s ever loved showing up at work one day, his new boss in tow. Ice is all about plants on a grand scale, whereas Reyes appears to be all about denial.
