Sent to El Paso to try and figure out what the father of Morgan Sutton is doing with his drug cartel, he finds something he never expected. His childhood love. Both are trying to bring down a man who thoroughly believes he is untouchable. A man who sold his own daughter to a ruthless drug dealer for payment of his own debt. A man who doesn't think twice about killing men, women, and children. East gets some unexpected help from family and friends. But what he really gets is what he's always wanted. Brooke Elizabeth Liffey has been in love with Eastman Wolfkill since they were children. Recognizing that they needed to follow their own paths, she waited while he became and elite Green Beret. She waited. But followed her dreams as well. Now as an agent for the DEA, she's undercover inside Green Sutton's gang. She never expected to see the man she's loved her entire life in front of her. Never. After the initial shock, along with their friends and family, they devise a plan to stop the madman and bring some peace to his daughter. It won't be easy, but then again, nothing the Voodoo Guardians do is easy.

Gray Wolf Security had seen a lot of disturbing things in their day, but disappearing teenagers, strange tattoos that tagged them for a madman, was all new to them. When three of their own kids came to them for help, they couldn't refuse. Finding out what was happening proved to be more difficult than they believed. With Callan working to help the team identify the tattoo artist, they weren't afraid to use every advantage at their fingertips. Who would have thought that the ghosts would be the best sources of information and help on the property. With time running out, the men race to find the last of the missing teenagers, and render some old-fashioned justice.

Everett Baptiste Wolfkill, Rett to his friends family, and teammates, is almost on his way home. Just another twenty-four hours and he'll be reunited with his two brothers. Waking up to find blood on his hands and a dead woman wasn't the way he hoped to start his day. In the middle of Venezuelan cartel territory, he has no choice but to run. Weeks of hiding, begging for and stealing food, until he finally finds himself in New Orleans. He's so close to home, he can smell it. But with no transportation, no phone, and unwilling to risk the lives of anyone around him, he's forced to take the generous offer of a beautiful woman. When that action puts her in danger, Rett must find a way home on foot, and find out why the cartel is after him. Casey Islip is just getting over the death of her father, working as a chef at the hottest New Orleans restaurant. Seeing a strange man outside her apartment, she almost calls for help. Almost. He just seems genuine. Hungry, bloody, and thirty, she allows him into her apartment. After speaking to him for only a few moments, she feels certain that she's made the right decision. When his presence places her in harm, her friends from Gray Wolf Security take her to a safe place, that just happens to have her dark stranger there as well.

Running a five-star restaurant in New Orleans is more than a full-time job. But it's been the dream of Weston Islip's for a long time. When spoiled produce, rotten fruit, and bad meat start showing up in his restaurant, he feels certain that someone is attempting to sabotage his quest for a Michelin star rating. Contacting Gray Wolf is the first step in find the culprit, but all things are not what they seem. Strange happenings, a new assistant chef who seems oddly distracted by the Islip, and fighting a vendor who believes natural foods will be a thing of the past, sooner, rather than later. Nothing is too much for the Gray Wolf team. Sending their own team inside the restaurant and out into the city to investigate, there is now doubt they will find the cause. And God help the culprit when they do.

Dan Robicheaux is thrilled to finally be home for good. Retired from the SEAL teams, he's excited to start a new life with his family and friends at Voodoo Guardians. He never expected his first assignment to lead him down a path he'd been avoiding for years. A strange woman afloat in their bayou, with a head full of numbers, a no-nonsense way of speaking, and something that makes his heart sing. He needs to find out who is responsible for kidnapping, and nearly killing her. Then he has to figure out what to do about keeping her. Finley Xavier is a brilliant mind unlike any they've ever seen. An eidetic memory that computes numbers and engineering principles the way most people breathe, she's a value to everyone. Even those who intend to use her abilities for bad. Escaping her captors, she's content to die instead of being in their grasp. What she never expected, was to find herself in the arms of the only man who has ever understood her.

With Gray Wolf Security finally open for business, the seniors are ready to begin their new chapter. Visited by an old friend, they discover that kids are going missing in the Quarter. More specifically, three young girls that were being watched out for by generous waiters in one of the upscale restaurants. With no clues, and no one that will talk to the team, they have to go back to their roots and do what they do best. Dig up the details themselves. But everything is not what it seems. Children running around at all hours of the night, no clues as to where the missing have gone, and the constant use of one word that sends chills down their back. Invisible.

Mike Redhawk is thrilled to be with his family, needing a little quiet time after serving as a Delta Operative. Like his twin brother, twin cousins, father, uncle, and grandfather, Mike is a warrior. Mardi Gras at Belle Fleur is almost as big as Christmas. The ball is always the party of the year. He hates it. Nothing about dressing up is appealing to him. Promising his brother that he'll make an appearance, dance a few dances, he never expects that the woman he practically trips over, is the one that will steal his heart. The problem is, she's been thrust into one of the teams strangest cases to date. Diamonds, weapons, and the Chinese mafia are chasing her. It's up to Mike to keep her alive and make her his. Sage Marshall is trying to do the right thing, but it seems the universe is against her at every turn. Parents who were thieves, employees involved in illegal diamonds, and then finding out that the one person she trusted, her granny, deceived her as well. It's all more than a woman can handle by herself. Seeking help at a Mardi Gras ball might seem strange to most, but when the most unusual elderly woman you've ever met tells you to come and find her, you have to do it.

Nate Redhawk never expected to run into the woman he'd call his own. He definitely didn't expect to run into her on an op. Although, what did he expect considering his family history. Forced into a heinous form of debt repayment by her parents, Nate helps her to escape. When his own op goes sideways, leaving him with a bullet in his back and separated from his partner and brother, Mike, he finds himself making his way toward her. The only woman on his mind. The only person he needs to see. The person who needs his protection. If he can just stay alive to reach her, he knows that he can make her his. Harlow Judge had no idea what kinds of sick games her parents were playing with their lives. Including her own. Just when she thought her life would be over, a tall, dark stranger grips her arm and pulls her to safety. But her knight in shining armor didn't carry her away on the white charger. No. Instead, he sent her on her way with nothing except a first name. Nate. He found a way to get her to safety, secure a home for her, and even a guard dog. His final words were that she shouldn't approach strangers. But what's a girl supposed to do when a man is collapsed at the bottom of her stairs?

Abe Salcedo had fallen in love, only to lose her. Right before his very eyes, she was gone. One minute there, the next gone. She was dead and he couldn't sleep without nightmares. Someone was calling to him, begging him for help. When his commander sends him home for mandatory leave, he finds himself at the sharp end of a knife. Prepared to die, he only hopes to say goodbye to his family. That's what he needs. Family. Lyra Wolford finally finds the one man she knows she can trust. Unfortunately, falling in love is not an option. She has too many secrets, far too many secrets. If what she knows doesn't kill her, it will definitely kill Abe. Unwilling to risk that, she has to find help another way. Little does she know that all help leads home. Not her home, but Abe's. Belle Fleur.

Frustrated with retirement, the seniors decide to make a little holiday magic for some well-deserving families and children. All they thought they would do is help some kids, maybe rebuild the boys orphanage, even help some people who desperately need it. They never expected to find themselves in the middle of a true holiday mystery that includes missing presents, stolen toys and the real mystery. Who is Santa Claus? The wives can't let the seniors have all the fun. Planning weddings are all fine and well, but there's a lot more to the holidays than just weddings at Belle Fleur. Never underestimate the magic of the holidays. Especially at Belle Fleur.

Tobias Franklin Redhawk may be a twin to JB, but he's a completely different man. He enjoys playing the field, giving the ladies what they really want with no ties, no promises, and no returns. He never expected to meet Gail. A friend of his brother's fiancée, she's different, yet the same as him. When she calls him out of the blue, beaten and dying in an alley, he does what any VG man would do. He saves her. But discovering the evil that led her to this place may be the last straw for Tobias. Either way, Gail was going home with him. Gail Mackenzie didn't want permanent. She didn't want the same man every night. Or did she? She never thought that life was for her, until she kissed Tobias Redhawk. Never in her life did her body respond in such a way to a man's kiss. Now she was really screwed. Getting away to Miami with the family seemed like a good idea, but when she was forced to go on a blind date, her world changed forever. Dying in an alley, the only person she could call was the last number in her phone. Tobias.

When he's recovered enough to call for help, his family sweeps in as always. Working with monks, they discover a common enemy, and an unknown enemy. They also may discover something that the world has only speculated about. Billy must first keep his angel safe, then find out what the hell is really happening. Janine Corvallo is breathless when she walks into command and sees the tall, gorgeous Billy Bongard. You'd have to be a fool, or blind, not to notice him. The scar on her face isn't something she can hide, and when his eyes bore into her, she's suddenly self-conscious and unsure of herself. She never expected to have to make a jail break and then return for him. But she just couldn't leave him behind. She couldn't. Chasing terrorists is one thing, but chasing mythical beings? Definitely not in her realm of expertise. Thank goodness she's been introduced Team Big. All she has to do now is survive long enough to ensure a life with Billy.

Joseph Billy 'JB' Redhawk has always been the quieter of the twins. Serious, focused, and often his brother's keeper, they find themselves in the Bahamas on a mission. But beaches and surf mean bars, women, and trouble. Agreeing to go out with Tobias was about ensuring his brother didn't do something stupid. When shots are fired and JB is the one alone on the beach with a beautiful woman, the tables are suddenly turned. Strange netting, trapped dolphins, and a gorgeous chemist have JB racing to solve this mystery, and save his girl. Dana Vaughn adores her friend, Gail, but she can be a bit wild and she's feeling her wild tonight. Agreeing to go out for one drink, turns into Dana being the one with the date. She never expected to be caught in the midst of gunfire, rescue trapped dolphins, or determine a chemical mystery that feels vaguely familiar. Finding a job was her priority yesterday. Today it's trying to figure out how she fell in love.

Keeping her safe and finding his mark is going to require a little help. Well, maybe a lot of help. Caroline Mullins is in her final months of veterinary school.

Christian Martin is ready to retire and head home to work with the family. But he's given one final mission and it's a doozy. A MARSOC brother is dead from an apparent opioid overdose. Except, no one is buying it. Too convenient. Too typical. Too everything. Sent to investigate and find the killer, he never expected to be saved by the Marine's sister. Everything should be easy, simple. But nothing is as it seems. With no choice but to get help from back home, he finds himself in the middle of a national drug war with some very heavy players. None of that matters if he can't save his girl. Winnie Pasko is headed to her childhood hometown to kill the man that she knows killed her brother. There's no way that Michael would have ever taken drugs. Never. Knowing that the local dealer threatened her brother with Winnie's life, he probably came to kill him before he could get near her. Unfortunately, her brother is dead, she's all alone, and finding the man responsible just got complicated.

Benjamin 'Cowboy' LeBlanc is finally going home where he belongs. He'll work with the others in the field and when he's home, he'll do what he truly loves, work with the animals.

Believing he can at least bring the body home and give the old woman some peace, he never expects to find the woman alive. Very alive. Now the trick will be keeping her alive. Autumn Zeller never wanted to do anything except fly. With only her grandmother by her side, she was able to fulfill that dream, and then some. Flying her high-profile client back and forth to Las Vegas seemed an easy gig. But when her plane goes down and she's left trapped inside the wreckage, she doesn't understand why they would leave her there. The last thing she expected was the handsome rescuer looming over her.

Now, on a mission to find their killer, she's determined to track the arsonist down. She didn't expect to have to save an inexperienced kayaker and hide in a cave with him. And she definitely didn't expect to develop feelings for him. But what surprised her the most, was finding love right in front of her.

Their time together is short and precious, but it leaves both of them with a gift they never expected. Leaving her was the most difficult thing he's ever done. Trying to get her to return his calls is even more difficult. Who knew all he needed to do was get her to come to his brother's wedding. Otilia 'Tila' Blackwater is a Canadian Marine and law student, much to the disappointment of her father and fiancé. Meeting Kevin Crawford is the most unexpected thing in her life. Falling in love with him, is even more unexpected. When her fiancé ends their engagement, doesn't really bother her. He wasn't the man she wanted or needed. The one she really needs, the one she really wants is two-thousand miles away and totally unaware that he's going to be a father. All she needs to do is build up enough courage to tell him. But Kev and Tila have to fight for something even more precious. Tila's people. Stopping her father and ex-fiancé will be dangerous and just might get her killed. Kev has other ideas. No one will touch his woman. No one.

Christopher Luke Jordan has been carrying around a truckload of guilt for something that wasn't even his fault. Still, it should have been him. He should be the one in the wheelchair, not her.

Unfortunately, she never expects him to take it to an entirely different level. She also never expected that someone was trying to kill her. Good thing she's now under the protection of Voodoo Guardians.

Helping the team in Jakarta, he never dreamed he'd run into the woman who'd haunted him for more than a decade. Now that he's found her, he can't let her go. Ophelia Baldwin was in love with Moses the first moment she saw him. Unfortunately, his mother didn't approve of her or any other girl.
