ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 1, 2026

I disarm bombs for a living. Feelings are a different kind of explosive.

When Tidewater’s communication systems are hacked and classified training schedules leak, Lennox “Nox” Bradshaw is brought in to fix it. She’s brilliant, sharp-tongued, and allergic to authority.

Then she uncovers something worse than a breach—malware designed to cripple the base during a live joint exercise.
And when she gets too close to the truth, someone plants a bomb in her quarters.

I’m the one who responds to the blast. I’m also the one who decides she’s moving into my beachside cottage until we stop whoever’s behind this.

The threat isn’t just digital. It’s inside the perimeter. A former Navy cryptologic tech with a vendetta—and help from someone on base. If the malware triggers, comms fail. Security collapses. Operators die.

Nox trusts her code. I trust my hands. But forced proximity has a way of burning through defenses.

I’m not afraid of explosives. I’m afraid of wanting the one woman I might not be able to save.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 3, 2026

He watched her.
He chose her.
Now he’s done waiting.

Luca Santoro is the Outfit’s most feared enforcer; cold, precise, and lethal without remorse. When a quiet ER nurse saves his life and asks no questions about the bullet in his side, something inside him snaps into place.

Francesca “Frankie” Mancini becomes his.

For three months, Luca watches her. Learns her routines. Memorizes her smiles. Tells himself he’s protecting what’s his, long before she ever agrees.

When he finally steps into her life, it’s no accident. No coincidence. He’s already decided how this ends.

Frankie senses the danger beneath Luca’s charm, but attraction blurs every warning sign. Until the truth shatters her sense of safety; photos she never posed for, doors unlocked by hands that shouldn’t have keys, a man who knows her better than anyone ever has.

Now she’s trapped in his world, caught between terror and temptation. Luca is ruthless to his enemies, merciless to anyone who threatens her and disturbingly gentle when it comes to Frankie.

As rival families close in, Luca becomes the monster he was born to be.

And Frankie must choose:
Run from the man who stalked her…
or stay with the devil who would burn the city down to keep her.

••••••

REVIEW: THE ENFORCER’S CLAIM is the first instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult RUTHLESS RULE dark, erotic Mafia romance series. This is Mafia enforcer Luca Santoro, and ER nurse Francesca Mancini’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Francesca and Luca) THE ENFORCER’S CLAIM follows Mafia enforcer Luca Santoro’s obsession of our story line heroine. Three months earlier, Luca Santoro landed in Francesca Mancini’s ER, and in the wake, our hero became obsessive about the woman he would call his own. Francesca felt she was being stalked, and an attempted robbery brought Francesca face to face with the man who would control her life. Luca Santoro is determined to claim Francesca, with or without our heroine’s permission but when his latest assignment goes wrong, Luca finds himself a target, and the trickle down targets the woman he claims to love.

The world building focuses on obsession and stalking, and one man’s determination to take control. Francesca finds herself at a crossroads, either direction ends with our story line hero, and in this, Francesca relinquishes control of her life to a man she barely knows.

The relationship between Luca and Francesca is a stalker romance: a somewhat ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ romance in which Francesca is caught between the proverbial roach and a hard place, knowing whichever way she chooses, Luca is not far behind. The $ex scenes are aggressive and intense.

Then secondary and supporting characters are limited. We are introduced to Luca’s boss, Don Marco, a man frustrated with Luca’s obsession with Francesca Mancini.

THE ENFORCER’S CLAIM is a story of obsession and stalking; secrets and lies, power and control, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and edgy; the characters are desperate and determined; the romance is subtle as the primary focus is on the obsessive nature of one man’s need to claim a woman he is desperate to know.

He kept the Brotherhood safe… until she crossed the line.
Control is my specialty.

As Vice President of the Iron Brotherhood, I keep the club legitimate, secure, and untouchable. Every system locked down. Every threat neutralized before it breathes.
Then ATF Special Agent Shelby Monroe walks into Anchor Bay with a warrant—and a gun trafficking investigation that points straight at my shop.
She’s sharp. Relentless. And she’s not wrong.
Someone is using us as a cover.
Shelby has access to everything—my operation, my security systems, and secrets that could burn the Brotherhood to the ground. Including the private club behind my bar that would make the ATF very interested.
She should be my enemy.
Instead, she sees exactly what I am beneath the polish—a weapon trained in darker wars—and she doesn’t flinch.
When gun runners escalate from framing us to hunting her, I stop playing defense.
Protecting Shelby could expose the club.
Walking away would save everything.
But I’ve never been good at surrendering what’s mine.
And she just chose a side.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 23, 2026

I find evidence a nurse died protecting, encrypted files, surveillance photos… and a reason for someone powerful to hunt me down.

I think calling the FBI is the right move.
It almost gets me killed.

Marc Wells is the one who drags me out of a parking-garage ambush, his body shielding mine, his voice steady even as bullets hit steel. He tells me the the man trying to erase me is a federal agent with enough authority to bury the evidence… and me with it.

Now Marc and I are hiding in the Alaskan wilderness, forced into tight quarters where the air feels too hot, too charged, every brush of his hands a promise he won’t put into words. He’s disciplined and controlled until I push back, until the danger closes in, until our restraint snaps in ways I can’t pretend to forget.

We’re running for our lives. We’re crossing lines we can’t uncross. And the deeper we go, the harder it is to tell where the danger ends… and where Marc begins.

Because he’s not just my protector. He’s the man who makes me feel alive while the world tries to kill me.

••••••

REVIEW:AVENGER OF TALON MOUNTAIN is the eighth instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult MEN OF TALON MOUNTAIN romantic suspense series set Talon Mountain, Alaska. This is RN Sela Mitchell, and former Army CID Sheriff’s Deputy Marc Wells. AVENGER OF TALON MOUNTAIN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines, is revealed where necessary but I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sela and Marc) AVENGER OF TALON MOUNTAIN follows in the wake of the attempted murder of our story line heroine. Sela Mitchell’s first day on the job at Palmer Regional Hospital ends with a shoot out in the parking garage. Earlier in the day, Sela discovered an encrypted USB stick, and within hours of reporting, she had become a target of some very powerful people. Sheriff’s Deputy Marc Wells recognizes the evidence Sela discovered, and in an effort to protect our story line heroine, our couple find themselves on the run in the Alaskan Wilderness. Unable to trust anyone in the FBI or the DOJ, Marc and his friends call in a favor, a favor that once again places a target on our story line couple.

The world building focuses on the search for the truth; the uneven distribution of power in government offices, and the people with too much power and control.

The relationship between Sela and Marc begins as protection. Sela has unknowingly caught the attention of someone in power, and with it, has been targeted for what she had found. Marc is determined to protect the woman with whom he will fall in love but battles between head and heart, knowing that to cross the line,may be the end of his career. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top , sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and energetic secondary and supporting characters many of whom we met in the previous story lines.

AVENGER OF TALON MOUNTAIN is a fast paced story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, secrets and lies. government corruption, friendships and love. The premise is edgy and dramatic; the characters are determined and dynamic; the romance is seductive and impassioned.
