The Secret Weapon

He faked his own death to keep his loved ones safe. Now he’s working in the shadows as the CIA’s deadliest agent . . . and free to use lethal force.

London. Alexander King has endured a year living dark. Believed dead by those who knew him, the elite American counterterrorism operative doesn’t flinch when hunting down dangerous targets. But when he saves a young woman from a car bomb, he finds himself juggling the rapidly moving pieces of an alarming conspiracy that reaches all the way to the White House.

With a U.S. presidential candidate ensnared in the sinister plot, King fights to protect himself and his mysterious companion as they’re pursued by traitors intent on killing them both. But after the former Navy SEAL zeroes in on the sadistic terrorist pulling the strings, he shifts gears into a high-octane race to neutralize the hidden war about to explode.

Enemy Lines

It was supposed to be an easy assignment. But behind enemy lines, things never go as planned.

Alexander King and his team were sent to Haiti by the president of the United States as a favor, to keep the Haitian president, Samuel Desir, safe in the midst of a volatile political climate. After refusing their services without reason, not only was Desir kidnapped, but King and his team were framed for the job.

On the run in a country without allies, things only become more difficult when they step right in the middle of a drug war to control Haiti as a pipeline for cocaine to America. Worse still, is when the kidnapping of President Desir and Columbia’s cartels intersect, weaving a complicated web involving two different countries wealthiest, most ruthless, and powerful criminals.

The only way out is for King and company to dive in. But the water is mirky, and the treachery so deep, it reaches all the way back to American shores.

King should never have been assigned this job. And now it might be the one that finally kills him.

Saint Nick

Saint Nick

Not only is Santa Claus real . . . He's a real badass.

Army Ranger Nick Campos was never meant to be Santa Claus. He knows nothing about kids, he certainly isn't jolly, and he hasn't eaten a cookie in over a decade. But as Santa is dying of a heart attack, whether Nick wants them or not, Santa bestows his abilities upon him, and changes Nick's life forever.

A year later, Nick has found a way to use the abilities Santa passed along in a way that only a hardass Army Ranger could. To fight the bad guys. And he plans to bring new meaning to the classic line "he knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake."

However, there is one terrorist in particular that pops up on the radar that Nick is all too familiar with. Because he's the monster that killed Nick's closest friend a few years back. Can Nick use his newfound tools to stop an old enemy's plot to kill more innocent people? Or will Nick--the world's best new weapon in the fight against terror--fail to deliver against an evil that is much more prepared for him than Nick could have ever imagined?

The national media has been covering the rise of human trafficking ad nauseum, yet no significant improvements in the situation have been made. Nick plans on changing that, because he figures there is no more fitting a role for Santa than to help the children. While he delivers freedom for all the unfortunate boys and girls, he's got something a little stronger in mind than coal for the perpetrators' stockings.

However, as with any rise in legend, the enemy looks with a watchful eye. And there is one villain in particular who has learned how to evade Nick's All Seeing Eye.

Can Nick deliver justice again this holiday season? Or will this ruthless enemy spoil Christmas for families all across the globe?
