As a SEAL sniper it’s always the same, lock up your target in the cross hairs and don’t look away until you see the pink mist. It turns out murdering a man in his house at close range isn't all that different.
I knew killing that piece of sh*t meant I would have to run to the edge of the earth to escape my crime. Disappearing into the Canadian wilderness definitely fit the bill.
I thought I'd found a perfect refuge from the law, from civilization and unfortunately, from women. I guess I was wrong about all three.
She thinks she's tracking me. Hunting me. She doesn't know I'm on her trail. With her long, flowing hair that I want to wrap around my fist and her thick, kissable lips, I couldn't turn away. It was too much for this wild man to resist.
There's hunger that has been growing inside me and I'm ready to eat.
I should have hung low. Stayed away. But, he was going to steal her innocence.
I kidnapped her to keep her safe, but when she looks at me with those big green eyes I know that's a promise I can’t keep. I want my c*ck to be her first and last… I want to make her mine. To protect her from a monster like him, she needed a monster like me.
Let us introduce ourselves...
We are three soldiers who made huge sacrifices for our country, and came as back war heroes. We all have wounds that need healing, both physical and emotional. In this collection you will find our stories, our struggles and our greatest loves. Each of us has coped with the horrors we experienced overseas differently, but the one thing we all have in common is the strong, beautiful women who stood by us and helped pull us through during our darkest times.

AMERICAN BAD BOY
Mack -- I lost my men. I lost my leg. I lost my career. And all I could think of was Lauren.
I left for West Point with two things: a broken heart and a promise to never let it happen again.
Now I'm back in Colorado as a war hero. F*ck that, I'm a celebrity.
And every woman wants to open her legs for Captain America.
So why do I only want her?
Lauren -- Even with one leg, Mack Forrester hasn't lost his swagger.
It's been a decade since he left. But under his tattoos, I still see the guy who broke my heart when he chose his country instead of me.
I told myself I was over it.
Over him.
One glimpse in his crystal blue eyes and I knew it was a lie.
Now he wants me back, but ten years is a long time. There's so much he doesn't know.
Like, that I had his child.

GRIDIRON BAD BOY
Cameron -- I fought for my country.
Now, it's time to fight for my dreams.
I traded my combat boots for cleats and the battlefield for the football field.
I'd say it worked for me.
With scouts from the professional league at my games and more girls lined up outside my locker room than at the door of a club, I'm living every bachelor's American Dream.
So, why do I only dream of her?
Her beautiful brown eyes, her sweet innocence, her voluptuous curves. She’s all I want and the one thing I can’t have.
She just needs a taste. One night of passion and I’ll have her addicted.
Chelsea -- Cameron Armstrong is a cocky, arrogant, sexy, delicious...
Where was I going with this again?
He’s a combat veteran and an all-star athlete with rippled muscles and the charm that makes panties easily drop for him.
When he shows up with a swagger and a smile, I tell him two words he's never heard before: Not Interested.
But Cameron doesn’t take no for an answer.
My heart tells me to trust him.
But, with his reputation and frenzied fangirls, I can't shake my fear.
Am I just another play in his book?

NAVY SEAL BAD BOY
Jake -- They pinned a medal on my chest and called me a hero. Too bad they didn’t let the demons that haunt me know.
Now, I’ve been shipped off to rehab, the Navy SEALs have given me a chance to start over.
It was the last place I thought I’d find the woman of my dreams. It was the last place I’d ever even look.
But from the second I lock onto her innocent blue eyes I know she needs me, and I know I can’t live without her.
I defended my country, and now I’ll put my life on the line to defend her.
Holly -- I’ve spent my entire life on the run.
When my twin sister died and everyone blamed me, I ran to Miami and fell into the lap of the biggest drug smuggler on the Eastern Seaboard.
I learned the hard way that he was no knight in shining armor. I still have the scars and bruises he laid on my body to prove it.
I finally found the strength to leave him. To get help. And I ran again.
Now, I’m at rehab. I met Jake, a man who makes the world and all of my troubles slide away with a simple smile. He says he can save me.
He says he will die to do it.
Running is all I’ve ever known how to do. Now, I want to run one more time. Right into Jake’s strong arms.
I turned my back on society, walked off the grid and never looked back. So, why can't I let her go?
Sawyer -- Ashley represents everything I hate in society.
A spoiled brat, a media princess, a woman who would rather record her life than live it.
It’s people like her that are responsible for the bullshit on the internet, bullshit that cost the lives of everyone I’ve ever loved.
But one taste of her makes me question how I could ever live in a world without her in it.
Ashley -- Sawyer offers me nothing more than a hard body and a warm bed.
He’s just an escape from my humiliation and betrayal. He can never provide me the lifestyle that I worked so hard to obtain.
Then why am I considering throwing away my fame and fans to hide away from the world that embraced me when no one else would?
The thing that I’m most excited about right now is that my Facebook group “Quickies with Eddie” is now off the ground. In this group we all collaborate and come up with a sexy story that I write for the members to read (all for FREE). I also just released my 5th full length novel ‘Virgin for the Woodsman”.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
I always try and put a messages and themes in my books. In Saved by the Woodsman, I try to tackle the idea that despite how connected we all are on social media, it can be really isolating, fake and lonely to live your life in hashtags. In Virgin for the Woodsman I try to talk about sexual consent and that you reap what you sow.
Who designed your covers?
I design all my covers and almost all of my teasers. There have been a few teasers put together for me by fans as well.
When and did you begin writing?
I've always loved writing, and even more so storytelling. My parents tell me that even as a very young child I would create stories to tell them, ensuring there was always a beginning, a so called "bad part" and a happy ever after.
As I grew up, that fascination with stories never left me. In my early teens, I was reading Steven King and doing my best to come up with my own horror tales to share with my friends. Though out my twenties I continued to write, making up characters from people I met in my travels. But it wasn't until I was in the Navy that I began to write erotic tales.
Since time at sea can be pretty boring, I began reading a lot. Kindle unlimited had just come out so when I was in port I would load up my kindle with books. It was during this time that I discovered indie romance publishing. I read a few military romance books and felt I had something to offer to the genre. Fast forward a couple years, and I left the military to make writing sexy romance novels my full time job. And couldn't be happier.
What book are you reading now?
I’m in between books right now but I just finished reading Anaconda by Lauren Landish about a week ago.
If any of your books was made into a film who would you like to play the lead?
I would want to play the lead for any of my books, as each one of my leading men have had facets of my personality, experiences and beliefs. But, since I’m obviously not cut out for acting, I guess Brad Pitt would do. :)
Do you have a blog/website?
