ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 24, 2026

Travis Hale has four computer monitors, a caffeine addiction, and zero interest in human interaction.

He hasn’t left his compound in two years. Whatever the CIA did to him—or made him do—sent him underground, literally, into a Montana bunker disguised as a ranch house where the surveillance system is military-grade and the man who once ran field ops now doesn’t leave his own driveway.

Or so everybody thinks.

He’s vital to Warrior Security operations from within his fortified walls. He’d die for them and knows the feeling is mutual. But even his brothers-in-arms don’t know the truth…

When predators slip into the shadows, Travis follows.

He fights the battles that never make it to daylight. The system has rules. He doesn’t. And no one ever traces anything back to him.

It costs him more than anyone knows. So be it.

But when a ghost from his past shows up on his doorstep—soft where he’s sharp, open where he’s guarded—Travis will learn that even men who choose the dark can still step into the light

REVIEW:TRAVIS is the fourth instalment in Josie Joanne’s contemporary, adult WARRIOR SECURITY erotic, romantic suspense series, a spin off from the author’s RESTING WARRIOR RANCH series. This is IT specialist Travis Hale, and FBI analyst Sera Bolland’s story line. TRAVIS can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Travis and Sera) TRAVIS follows Sera Bolland as she seeks help from the man she has loved from afar. Three years earlier, Travis’s partner Naomi was killed while on assignment, and for the past two years, former CIA operative and IT Specialist Travis Hale has sequestered himself in an underground bunker where the surveillance system is regulated by a watchful AI. Sera’s arrival finds our hero struggling between head and heart, as he battles the demons that continue to control, demons that once revealed may send Sera running in another direction but Travis has uncovered a human trafficking organization, and our heroine is determined to protect Travis from the demons that threaten to destroy.

The world building focuses on several pathways including Travis’ emotional and psychological disability that keeps him trapped behind mortar and steel but when Sera reveals a pattern in Travis’ surveillance, Travis must call in help from the team at Warrior Security.

The relationship between Travis and Sera is one of the forbidden in the wake of Sera’s connection to Travis’ ex partner. Having loved Sera from afar, Travis struggles with his attraction to a woman who could break his heart. The $ex scenes are limited but passionate and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters are energetic and charismatic. We are reintroduced to several members of the Warrior Security Team, as well as Lark Monroe, a young woman who runs an animal rescue. Lark’s story is next

TRAVIS is a story of secrets and lies, love and loss, family and friendships, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is dramatic and heart breaking; the romance is emotional; the characters are determined and dynamic
