Tall, Dark, and Deadly #1: HOT SECRETS(2011)

The oldest—Royce Walker—Former FBI Negotiator—The silent type, Royce urges others to talk, having learned there are far more rewards from listening than running his mouth. When he does speak, he doesn’t hold back, his opinions made readily available. He can be abrupt and tough, overbearing even. But none of this stops women from seeing the appeal of his rock hard six-foot-three frame and long, dark hair.

Lauren Reynold’s has been targeted by a madman, but is it because she’s the daughter of a senator with his eye on the White House, or because she’s the prosecutor for the District attorney, who will do anything to win justice for the innocent?

Royce Walker, a former FBI Agent, who’s opened a private security firm with his brothers, has always had the hots for the prim, proper Distract Attorney, but considered her hand’s off because of a family connection. However, when danger threatens Lauren, he isn’t willing to stand by and watch her get hurt. Now the passion for survival is only rivaled by the passion burning between them. And that passion, might just be the death of them both. Tall, dark, and deadly, these three brothers run Walker security. Each unique in his methods and skills, but all share key similarities. They are passionate about those they love. Relentless when fighting for a cause they believe in. No case is too hard. No danger too dark. Dedication is what they deliver, results as a reward.

Tall, Dark, and Deadly #2: DANGEROUS SECRETS(2011)

The middle—Luke Walker—Former Navy SEAL—He is the chameleon, able to get along with anyone, able to fit in anywhere. Growing up as the middle brother, Brad was always the one who kept peace between siblings, instinctively knowing how to calm tension. When he joined the Navy SEALS, he found his steady, easy going, personality a tool under pressure. He liked the structure within the SEALS, the way the team resembled the way he once had been with his brothers. Soon Luke became a leader, not just a fighter. But an injury stole the career and forced him to rethink his future. In his normal form, he takes life in stride. He’s home, playing mediator to his brothers again, and loving every minute of it. Still, he clings to his SEALS history, keeping his hair short, his workouts intense. Ready and waiting for the next place life will take him.

Tall, Dark, and Deadly #3: SEDUCED BY SECRETS(2012)

The youngest—Blake Walker—Former ATF agent—The youngest brother, Austin grew up resenting Royce’s way of always taking control. As a teen, he felt Royce always shined above everyone else. As he aged, he silently competed, and began pushing himself to new highs, developing a love for fast cars and faster women. Later, he turned his attention to danger and intrigue. Joining the ATF, he prided himself on doing what no one else could. But when a close friend, another agent, ended up dead, Blake blames himself. He resigns the ATF, but not his desire for revenge. He will take down his friend’s killer. Working with his brother’s is well timed. He needs to think. To decide his next move. But one thing for sure. His revenge will come, one way or the other.

SECRETS EXPOSED

Prologue

A shame to bruise such lovely skin .

Her body lay naked on the bed, her long, blond locks positioned just so around her creamy white shoulders. A bright red mark on her left shoulder caught his attention, frustrating him. He gently positioned a strand of her silky blond hair so it wouldn’t show. Wanting, needing her , to look perfect.

Stepping back, he surveyed his work. A slow smile turned up the corners of his mouth. Unable to resist, he moved again and ran his gloved finger down her ivory cheek. Pale and still, she was like a china doll displayed for his viewing.

Beautiful .

Calmness was settling inside him now. His job was done. The power his success yielded was surreal, yet so alive it delivered a boost of elation. She had been a real high, a challenge, where every step of the way had been a battle of wills. She’d offered no cries for mercy, no whimpering, as if she sensed the outcome before it happened. As if she knew he didn’t believe in mercy.

The fight had been invigorating, making him hotter and hotter with every twist and turn of her soft little body. Taking her had been so sweet, so perfect, he’d drawn it out. Slowly he had explored, touching her, moving inside her, soaking in the pure high of owning her.

But in the end, she hadn’t been as perfect as he had first expected. She’d been a disappointment. Because she had given up. Disgust coiled inside him, and he yanked his hand away from her face, remembering the low churn of anger when she had stilled beneath him. It had turned to rage, pushing him higher and higher, forcing him to squeeze the breath out of that delicate little neck.

The calm followed so bittersweet in the aftermath.

He had hoped she would be different, but she wasn’t. For that he had made her punishment long and painful. Besides, she wasn’t the one he really wanted. The one that, one day very soon, he would have. Balling his fists at his sides, he clenched his teeth. It angered him the way she had left him, going to Washington as if he wasn’t important. He’d had no choice, no option, but to try to find a replacement.

Because she was his light, and without her, he was dark.

He let his eyes slowly close . Come to me, Lindsey .
