ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 8, 2026

Derrick “Leo” Armstrong built Serenity Securities as a refuge—an unbreakable brotherhood forged from military scars and second chances. On Serenity Mountain, he finally found the life he’d always dreamed of: a home, a purpose, and Catherine, the woman he’d loved for a lifetime. With three children and another on the way, Leo believed his world was complete.

Then one mission shattered everything.

Left reeling by the devastating news of her husband’s death, Catherine must navigate grief while protecting the family Leo adored. As the men of Serenity Securities rally to bring their fallen brother home, the mountain community surrounds Catherine with the same fierce loyalty Leo once gave them. But when a final letter from Leo forces her to face an impossible truth, Catherine makes the heartbreaking choice to call off the search. Her children need closure. Life must move forward.

Leo’s team refuses to accept it.

Driven by loyalty, love, and the lessons Leo carved into their souls, the men of Serenity Securities push deeper into danger, determined to uncover the truth about their mission and bring their brother home. Their greatest mission isn’t one they were trained for. It’s one they learned from Leo himself:

Family is worth fighting for.

REVIEW: FIGHTING FOR FAMILY is the sixth instalment in Cassie Colton’s contemporary, SERENITY SECURITY: TEAM HAWK romantic, military suspense series, set in the multi-authored SPECIAL FORCES: OPERATION ALPHA originally developed by author Susan Stoker. FIGHTING FOR FAMILY follows several pathways, and several couples as the team at Serenity Securities goes in search of their boss and founder Derrick ‘Leo’ Armstrong, who did not return from his last mission. FIGHTING FOR FAMILY should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events of LOSING LIAM.

Told from several omniscient third person perspectives FIGHTING FOR FAMILY focuses on the search for Leo Armstrong. As the Serenity Security team assembles and prepares to head back to Afghanistan, the partners left behind are all facing an uncertain future without the men whom they love. Nothing is guaranteed, Leo Armstrong is thought to be missing and dead, and his wife Catherine is preparing to bury the memories he left behind.

The world building focuses on several couples, the preparations for the next generation, and the rebuilding of a team who are reconsidering their own futures going forward.

FIGHTING FOR FAMILY is a story of search and rescue, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic, edgy and complex as each couple navigates the what ifs and the hopes for a future. The characters are desperate , determined and dynamic.

REVIEW:CLAIRE’S GUARDIAN by DM Earl is a contemporary, adult, erotic, romantic suspense storyline found in the multi-authored Police & Fire: Operation Alpha, based on characters first introduced by Susan Stoker. This is paramedic/fire fighter/animal abuse investigator and former US soldier Danny Moretti, and widow/single mother Claire George’s story line. CLAIRE’S GUARDIAN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

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

Told from several first person perspectives (Claire, Danny, Nova, Tex, ) CLAIRE’S GUARDIAN follows the building romance and relationship between Danny and Claire. Approximately five years earlier Claire’s husband lost his life while on assignment in the Middle East, and with the help of her sister and brother in law, has raised their two sons on her own. Meeting her sister’s neighbor, fire fighter Danny Moretti gives Claire hopes for the future but a possible arsonist / serial killer/ animal abuser is targeting the small town, as well as our story line heroine. Someone from the past is taking aim at the first responders, and Danny is about to discover, what happens in the past, doesn’t always remain in the past. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Danny and Claire, and the potential fall-out as a killer sets his sights on our story line couple.

The world building continues to focus on the group of former US Military heroes, whose return home comes with grief and guilt. As each member of the team finds his own happily ever after, there is always someone else waiting to take them down.

The relationship between Claire and Danny is one of immediate attraction but Claire’s first priority is the safety and protection of her five year old twins, and Danny may be the man to accept our heroine, and the children she loves. As Danny begins a slow dance of seduction with Claire, someone else is waiting to destroy them both. 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 energetic and determined secondary and supporting characters, many of whom we have met in the previous storylines. We are introduced to Claire’s sister /and Danny’s neighbors Marjorie and Herb, as well as several members of Danny’s military teammates turned first responders.

CLAIRE’S GUARDIAN is a story of vengeance and madness, betrayal and powers, murder and abuse, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is intriguing, intense and dramatic; the romance is seductive; the characters are desperate, dynamic and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 9, 2021

The day Kentucky Protection and Permanency social worker Maisey Kendall dreaded has arrived—a coworker has been killed by an irate couple whose child was to be taken by the state. Grief-stricken and afraid, she’s comforted by the kindness of the Whitley County deputy sheriff who shows up at the call.

Deputy Aaron Friedman left everything, including his career as an agent in the FBI’s Amarillo Field Office in Texas, to follow his obsessive ex-wife and their daughter, Murielle, back to Corbin, Kentucky. Except for his child and a few coworkers at the department, he’s led a solitary life until he meets Maisey. Something about the smart, vivacious, and dedicated social worker tunes him up, and she feels the same way about the tall, strong lawman.

But Maisey can’t shake the feeling that someone’s following her. When Aaron returns from a trip to a local landmark with previous acquaintance FBI Special Agent Cruz Livingston from San Antonio and new friend Sheriff Carter Melton from Cadiz, Kentucky, he’s horrified to find Maisey and Murielle gone, and he’s never been more afraid. Instead of calling in the department, Cruz and Carter assure him they can do a safer and faster job of finding his girls. They’ve narrowed the suspects down to one man who’s far too slippery, and the clock is ticking. And yet there’s one thing they didn’t take into account.

Never underestimate the tenacity of a crazy ex-wife when her child’s life is on the line.

REVIEW:JUSTICE FOR MAISEY is the ninth instalment in Deanndra Hall’s contemporary, adult BLUEGRASS BRAVERY-Police and Fire: Operation Alpha erotic, romantic suspense series, and the latest cross-over story line with the characters introduced by author Susan Stoker. This is social worker Maisey Kendall, and Deputy Aaron Friedman’s story line. JUSTICE FOR MAISEY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from several third person perspectives including Maisey and Aaron, JUSTICE FOR MAISEY follows in the wake of the murder of a friend and fellow social worker for Maisey Kendall. Arriving on the scene, Deputy Aaron Friedman would comfort our story line heroine, and in the ensuing days would fall head over heals in love but Aaron’s ex-wife is spiralling out of control, and Aaron must make a decision as it pertains to their five year old daughter Murielle. As Aaron and Maisey’s relationship begins to take on a life of its’ own, Aaron’s ex finds herself in trouble; and Maisey becomes the target of more than one irate parent with whom she has had dealings in the past. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Maisey and Aaron, and the potential fall-out as both Maisey and Murielle’s life hangs in the balance.

The relationship between Maisey and Aaron is one of immediate attraction but Aaron’s battle with his ex is about to force Aaron to take control. Maisey, having already fallen in love with Aaron’s little girl, isn’t far behind falling in love with the man in question.The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top,sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters : Carter Melton (Shelter for Sharla 1), FBI agent Cruz Livingston (Justice for Daesha 4/ Justice for Sloane). We are introduced to Aaron’s ex-wife Bailey, her parents, as well as Maisey’s parents Molly and Chuck. The requisite evil has many faces.

JUSTICE FOR MAISEY is a story of family, love, obsession, and mental illness; a story of loss and grief, acceptance and forgiveness. The premise is realistic and imaginative; the romance is seductive and tender; the characters are energetic, lively and inspiring. JUSTICE FOR MAISEY is another wonderful and emotional addition to Deanndra Hall’s BLUEGRASS BRAVERY series.
