The cartel’s senior enforcer decides he is owed a retirement plan. The easiest way is to steal millions in cash and drugs from the cartel—and leave no witnesses—while he escapes to Canada. Unfortunately, his own years of drug use ruin his plans.

You and your wife are both out of work when you stumble across a truck load of money and drugs. With no witnesses, it’s the answer to your prayers. But with it comes new problems. Where do you put it that the government or the cartel won’t take it from you, leaving you worse off? Steve and Jen work out a plan to get it to a Caribbean tax haven. But the head of the cartel makes it his organization’s top priority to find who took it, get it back, and kill the thieves. A lesson must be taught.

The cartel has resources even the government doesn’t—they even have resources in the government—and aren’t constrained by laws. Soon the cartel is one step behind them. Steve and Jen are going to have to fight back. Steve’s Green Beret years are far behind him but it’s the only thing he’s got.

What Readers are saying:

“Undeniably suspenseful, fast-paced, heart pounding and nail-biting …adventure at its best”

“A thrilling book. It’s full of twists and turns.”

“The suspense kept me from putting the book down.”

“As the story progressed I couldn’t put the book down. Good read!”

“Heart pounding suspense, danger and action.”

“The characters and story grabbed me right at the beginning and didn’t let go. Seriously. I picked up the book at 2 PM, stopped for a wine break, managed a bowl of cereal for dinner and read until I’d finished it. Haven’t done that in years.”

“The characters are well-developed and, most importantly to me, there are no loose ends and crazy made-up twists needed to make it hang together cleanly. I want to see the movie.”

“Scintillating action from cover to cover. The plot is entirely plausible that the couple chooses to keep the money, but, in the process, faces a surprisingly ferocious cartel hell-bent on getting the money back.”

An unforgettable story of two courageous couples who risk everything for truth.

United States Air Force Major Dave Fleming has a job most men would die for. As one of three exchange fighter pilots chosen to fly with the premier US Navy strike squadron aboard America’s newest aircraft carrier, the Lyndon Baines Johnson, little does he know that his life is about to change forever!

Point Option is a thriller that unfolds over a tense, six-day period aboard the carrier on patrol with its Strike Group in the Mediterranean Sea. Suddenly, and without warning, Fleming’s hyper-dangerous world of flying off a pitching deck turns into his worst nightmare.

Point Option is jam-packed with more twists and turns than an out-of-control fighter jet; a world where Major Fleming finds himself an unwitting passenger on a supersonic ride into the unknown – a place where even angels fear to tread. The odds for his survival are bleak, and any hope for a return will challenge all of the finely honed skills he can muster. It’s now become a matter of time, and time is the one commodity he is fast running out of!

Dangerously addictive, The Secrets of Us is a pulse-pounding exploration of a disturbed psyche and the bond between two sisters desperate to escape a troubled past.

Foster sisters Krystal and Nichole have always been there for each other, so when Nichole is committed to a psychiatric hospital after trying to kill her husband, Krystal drops everything to defend her.

Scarred by a hard upbringing, Nichole and Krystal managed to construct comfortable lives for themselves. Krystal became a respected lawyer, and Nichole was happily married to an architect—until Nichole starts raving that her husband isn’t her husband, believing that he’s an imposter.

Driven by fierce loyalty, Krystal starts asking questions, but she’s not sure she can bear the answers. Her investigation leads to the sisters’ dark shared past…to a horrible tragedy and a well-guarded lie that cemented their sisterly bond.

But that lie can’t kill the truth—the battered, gasping, clawing truth that’s coming for them both. Now Krystal and Nichole must both fight for the lives they’ve built before they’re consumed by the one they left behind.
