Snake Ops Book 1

Wild Silver and Lead

I survived ten years after the Raven virus turned the dead into monsters. Then elite soldier Slade Reece put a bullet through my chest.

I was searching for my family, torn from me in a raid, when the ruthless ex–Delta Force captain found me. He should have left me to die. Instead, he dragged me to his military base, where a lethal, classified armed force guards civilization in the frozen North. Outsiders are forbidden. Execution is the penalty.

Our chance encounter ignited an obsession he can’t control. His solution? Marriage—the only way to keep me alive. The deal: my body for his protection, help finding my family for my vows.

I should hate him—I do—but hate turns to fire as he kills anyone who threatens me.

Falling for Slade is blurring everything I know about survival. But now his enemies have discovered my existence—and they’re hunting me. I must choose: the family I’ve lost, or the devil who’s claimed me.

Mariposa

Problem number one? One of my instructors is the infamous Special Operator Beast—a man everyone fears due to his cold heart and polished career. He loathes being away from his team, which makes graduating nearly impossible for all of us, mainly his least favorite student, me.

Problem number two? My heart skips a beat whenever I look into his cruel eyes, and my blood heats whenever he’s near me. He’s tall, scarred, and a devastatingly irresistible man who never smiles.

Oh, and problem number three? He’s my ex-boyfriend’s dad.

We try to stay out of each other’s way to make our reckless attraction fade, but fate keeps bringing us together. The military calls me The Unbreakable Soldier, but falling for Kade O’Connell might be my undoing.

Mariposa is a standalone dark military romance set in the Scarred Executioners world.

See You Soon

Ari Alvarez knows sacrifice. Growing up in a military family, she’s seen the cost of service firsthand—but nothing could prepare her for losing her brother. Now, as a newly graduated nurse, she’s stepping into a world that demands everything from her, all while battling the haunting questions surrounding her brother’s death.

Danny Rider—better known as Operator Grim Reaper—is a Navy SEAL who thrives in the chaos of war. Discipline, death, and deployments are all he’s ever known, and he’s made peace with his demons. Until Ari crashes into his world. She’s too innocent, too good, and everything he shouldn’t want. But something about her cracks through the armor he’s spent years building.

She’s the light he never saw coming. He’s the danger she should run from. But some battles are worth the risk—even if they leave scars.

I Promise You

Danny Rider has never been the kind of man to believe in love. As Operator Grim Reaper, his life has been defined by war, loyalty, and the ghosts of the past. But then Ari Alvarez—the one person he should have stayed away from—became his greatest temptation. She’s his best friend’s little sister, the only thing still untouched by the darkness that follows him. He should walk away, but she’s already under his skin, and he’s never been one to back down from a fight.

Ari thought losing her brother was the worst pain she’d ever endure, but grief only opened the door to something even more dangerous. Danny is everything she should run from—deadly, relentless, and devastatingly addictive. He makes her feel safe, but the deeper she falls, the more she realizes safety is just an illusion. Shadows from the past are closing in, and this time, love might not be enough to save them.

Pretend

Alessia Valentín has spent her entire life proving she belongs. As an intelligence officer, she’s earned her place in the field, despite the powerful military legacy that looms over her. But before she even steps into the war zone, she learns she’s already a target. Her stepfather, Admiral Ravenmore, assigns her a bodyguard—one she never asked for and certainly never wanted. A man known only by his call sign: Creature.

Daegan Hannibal is a ghost, a sniper who never misses, a Navy SEAL who should have died long ago. They call him Operator Creature because he’s survived the impossible—again and again. His orders are simple: keep Alessia alive. But from the moment they collide, she’s under his skin in a way no mission ever has been. She’s the one threat he never saw coming.

She’s off-limits. He’s the last man she should trust. But in a world where enemies lurk in the shadows, their biggest danger might just be each other.

Pretend can be read as a standalone, but it is highly recommended to start with the first book in the series. This story ends on a cliffhanger.
