IN THE LINE OF FIRE…
Former SEAL Malachai “Mac” MacCarrick is all about the future he’s created with his Navy brothers in Eagle Securities, taking assignments in the most dangerous places, and doing things no one but ex-military would attempt. But when an urgent phone call brings his troubled past—and the woman he once loved—into the present, it’s a chance to redeem himself that he can’t refuse.
STRAIGHT TO THE HEART…
An investigative journalist researching an explosive story, Delaney Shapiro tells herself she got over Mac—and his role in her brother’s death—a long time ago. But the first moment she sees him at her bedside in an overseas hospital, she knows it’s not true. Every moment together rekindles the desire that once burned between them, and now that she’s a target for an emerging Russian arms dealer, Mac won’t let her out of his sight. To protect her, he’ll risk it all—including his life…
Malachai “Mac” MacCarrick is all about working with his brother in arms at Eagle Securities. He takes a few days off to go help investigative reporter Delaney Shapiro who was kidnaped by terrorists trying to stop her from getting to the bottom of her current story. Mac has been in love with Delaney forever. Delaney hates Mac as she blames him for the death of her brother. Mac will do anything to convince Delaney the truth of what happened while keeping her safe. There are those who will stop at anything from Delaney getting the scoop on her story. Mac will die trying to help her and keep her safe.
In an Oyster Shell – It was a steamy romance that was a great addition to the series.
The Pearls – I like this series. I love stories about the former military. These Navy Seals stories are compelling. I like that the previous characters in this stories have a great supporting role in this story.
The characters were well developed and intriguing. Delaney was strong and often stubborn but Mac was a good match for her. The supporting characters were good and I hope to follow them in other books in the series.
The romance was fun and challenging. It wasn’t an easy task for Mac to get Delaney to trust him again. The journey of following the story kept me turning the pages.
The Sand – It was not a clean romance.

About Scarlett Cole
The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada were I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I’m getting the chance to follow that dream.
