Landon ‘Lambchop’ Johnson, Navy SEAL, Team Leader of Shepherd Security’s Delta Team, strong, resilient, proud, brave, highly trained, patriotic, Pastor. His teammates wonder how he reconciles the job he does with his deep, abiding faith. Lambchop was brought up going to church services with his momma and grandma in Pittsburgh, before enlisting in the Navy at the age of eighteen. But it was on the battlefield that the teachings in his youth made sense to him, and his religious self was born. There in hell, while he viewed levels of death and inhumanity that he could not have fathomed his belief and love for Jesus Christ took hold of his soul. He never hesitated to do his job as an Operator. God would sort them out. That was his job. Lambchop’s was to execute each mission with precision and to perform exceptionally, which is what he did. He quickly earned the respect of his fellow Operators and the officers within the Teams. He was known as a straight shooter, a SEALs SEAL, a leader, and a Pastor. When Shepherd recruited him, he eagerly accepted the offer. He found a home at Shepherd Security and formed intense connections to the other men and women who worked there. He’s watched his brothers fall in love, married them, baptized their children. In this installment of the Shepherd Security Series, Lambchop finds his soulmate amid the chaos of missions. Even though the story does continue from book to book, each is a stand-alone story and can be read without reading the prior book(s), but they are best enjoyed in order.

Colonel Samuel ‘Big Bear’ Shepherd, retired on paper only. A West Point Graduate, he served his entire career in the Special Operations Command where he made the necessary contacts to make his agency, Shepherd Security, a reality. His agency was born from the need to have an independent, highly trained, and specialized group that could work outside of the system to accomplish what could not be done within the highly bureaucratic and often ineffectual governmental organizations. Shepherd never shied away from getting his hands dirty. He actively engaged, leading his men on the toughest missions. It was on one such mission, nearly five years ago, that Shepherd was shot in the abdomen. Significant damage resulted from his injury, and he has been confined to a wheelchair since. Over the past few months, the pain has increased as well as other sensations in the lower half of his body. His life has been focused on the mission, leaving little room for any personal distractions…until he meets the attractive and intelligent doctor who immediately impresses him. The doctor who will change his life.   Dr. Diana Palmer is a highly educated practitioner in multiple disciplines to bring the most effective treatments to her patients. Every second of her life focuses on her work with a patient wellness with a holistic approach and mindset, leaving little time for personal relationships outside of her large, close family. Her last romantic relationship while in med school ended with a pathetic whimper, two extremely busy people who had no time for each other. That was one mistake she vowed she would never repeat…until she meets the enigmatic recluse whom she finds to be both warm and personable as well as intelligent and kind. He communicates in a matter-of-fact manner that she respects. She is as attracted to his personality as she is to him physically, a wrong mindset to have, given that he becomes her patient. Shepherd Security recruits only the best. They can protect someone in trouble like no other because they work in the shadows, invisible, and outside the system where the rules don’t apply–just the oath they took. They don’t exist. That’s also why they can break any suspect and can get answers out of anyone accused. That’s when they’re called in, when someone must be protected at all costs, or when answers must be obtained, by any means necessary.

Madison Miller served ten years in the United States Army and planned to make it her career. But she separated after a mission went horribly wrong in the Middle East. For two years, Madison was a happy civilian who didn't have to question if women or children would blow themselves up to take out those who were there to help them. Nor did she have to make the call on whether to neutralize a threat or not, based solely on her instincts. Madison thought she'd dealt with the ghosts from her past. When Shepherd Security approaches her with a job offer that she can't refuse, she realizes that she was wrong. Shepherd Security accepted two cases they need a female Operator to complete. A LinkedIn search brings them to Madison Miller. Convincing her to take the job is their first hurdle. Her rushed training on the male-dominated team is the next. For Cooper, acting as her Supervisory and Training Officer, his biggest problem will be keeping his interest in her professional. She's beautiful, intelligent, more than capable–an attractive spitfire he can't resist. Warning, this story is realistic, with adult language and content on the way to the HEA. This is book 2 in the Shepherd Security series.
