Get Lost in the Bad Boys Undercover Series by HelenKay Dimon



Under the Wire

The Bad Boys of the Alliance—a top-secret military security agency—are back for more in HelenKay Dimon’s sexy, action-packed series.

Only one thing could pull Reid Armstrong away from a vacation he’s earned with every muscle in his finely honed body—learning that his former fiancée has disappeared on a top-secret science expedition in the middle of nowhere. Second chances don’t come often in Reid’s business, and he needs to prove his worth to Cara Layne or die trying.
Waking up to find her camp destroyed and her colleagues missing, Cara is a walking target. She can’t trust anyone, least of all Reid. Even if his skills get them out alive, he’s a heartache waiting to strike twice. Yet being in close proximity proves their connection burns hotter than ever.

The body count is rising, the enemy is getting closer, and soon Reid will be right back in the position that cost him everything—forced to choose between the woman he loves, and the job that’s his only hope of saving them both . . .

Read an excerpt from Under the Wire


Cara Layne woke on a scream. The noise rumbled to life inside her chest but choked off as her eyes snapped open. Her muscles jerked. Without thinking, she grabbed for the inside stuffing of her narrow down sleeping bag, digging her fingernails deep into the slippery material. Bunching it in closed fists, she pulled the bag even tighter around her and tried to cocoon her body for protection. From what, she didn’t know,

The weather had turned without warning. The wind built to a sick wail then faded, only to roar back to life again. It echoed around her like a child’s cry as it whipped through the campsite. To block the screeching, she pulled the bag up and against her ears. 

She could still see that black night surrounded the tent.  The chilling cold signaled early morning, but nowhere near dawn. She tried to focus, to figure out what was happening. 

Her tent mate shifted and kicked beside her. A zipper screeched. The material of his bag rustled and he said something she couldn’t quite hear over the crescendo of sounds muffled though her clogged ears. The ground shook and the air almost vibrated. 

Nothing made sense. They’d ventured out on an overnight trip to collect samples. The usual working not dangerous. They’d set down outside of avalanche and flood zones. This was the right season. The right place. Yet, dread hovered over her. The sleepy haze dragging her down refused to lift. She tried to shake off the clouding in her brain and focus on the clicked sound. A steady tapping.

What the hell was that?

Then it hit her…her teeth. Chattering. 

The tent shook as a new blast of air caught the canopy, the material flapping above her head. She pulled her body tighter into a ball. Fear rocketed through her as the nylon that promised to stay sturdy even during the most punishing high mountain expedition ripped around her. 

The howling sound finally registered. Not weather. Not animal. Human.

She lifted her head only high enough to see a dark figure pulling at the material above her. At first she thought her tent mate held their falling shelter together with his bare bands…then the blade flashed. 




Playing Dirty


As an elite Alliance agent—the joint undercover operation of MI6, the British Secret Intelligence Service, and the CIA—Ford Decker lives for the adrenaline. But when he befriends sexy property manager Shay Alexander in hopes of finding her cousin, a known national security threat, Ford crosses the line, getting to know her better . . . in bed.
After being burned by her last relationship, Shay wants to take things slow. Yet she can't keep her hands off the drop-dead gorgeous hottie who's moved into her apartment building. So when Ford's identity as an undercover agent is exposed, his betrayal cuts deep. Shay never wants to see him again, but Ford can't let her go, not when her life is still in danger. He will sacrifice everything to protect her, then be prepared to walk away from the only woman he's ever loved, even if it breaks him.



Falling Hard
After a grueling assignment with the black ops force known as the Alliance, Weston Brown is craving downtime. Instead, he's pulled into his deadliest operation, in the one place he never wanted to see again. No-nonsense and so damn hot, Lexi Turner lied to get him to her mountain clinic in Pakistan. But the threat is terrifyingly real.
Lexi has been asking too many questions, drawing the wrong kind of attention. As soon as she lays eyes on West, she can tell he's quiet—yet tough—and has a rescue complex which will come in handy for going up against the world's most ruthless gunrunners.
Cut off from the rest of the Alliance, Lexi and West navigate the brutal terrain and a primal sexual attraction. Sticking around has never been West's way, but now he'll use every resource to keep Lexi by his side, safe from a killer who leaves no loose ends behind.



Facing Fire
When his uncle is brutally murdered, Josiah King knows that business just got personal. His uncle's ties to the Alliance can mean only one thing: Josiah and his black ops team are targets, along with everyone they love. Primed for vengeance, Josiah is determined to unravel the plot--until long-legged redhead Sutton Dahl becomes a dangerous distraction.
Sutton is very good at uncovering other people's secrets—and protecting her own. When Josiah bursts into her life she's torn between pushing him away and asking for his help. Mysterious, strong, and much too sexy, he's a puzzle she longs to solve, and a temptation she can't ignore.
Thrown together in the face of Alliance's most lethal threat, Josiah and Sutton become unlikely partners, fighting for their lives even as the attraction between them flares into real passion. Torn between his team and the woman who means everything to him, Josiah will risk it all to save Sutton, even if that decision is his last.

Get Lost in The Fixer by HelenKay Dimon



THE FIXER
Games People Play

He’s known only as Wren. A wealthy, dangerously secretive man, he specializes in making problems disappear. A professional fixer, Wren hides a dark past, but his privacy is shattered when Emery Finn seeks him out—and what she wants from him is very personal.

Some people disappear against their will. Emery’s job is to find them and bring closure. Wren is the only person who can help solve Emery’s own personal mystery: the long-ago disappearance of her cousin. Just tracking down the sexy, brooding Wren is difficult enough. Resisting her body’s response to him will prove completely impossible.

Anonymity is essential to Wren’s success, yet drawn by Emery’s loyalty and sensuality, he’s pulled out of the shadows. But her digging is getting noticed by the wrong people. And as the clues start to point to someone terrifyingly close, Wren will have to put his haunted past aside to protect the woman he loves.

An Excerpt from The Fixer:

She didn't hear footsteps or see a shadow until the legs of the chair on the other side of the café table screeched against the tile floor and a man sat down across from her. Strike that, not just a man. Not part of the usual striped-tie, navy-suit business crowd she waded through each day. This one had a lethal look to him. Dark hair with an even darker sense of danger wrapping around him.

He didn't smile or frown while his gaze searched her face. Broad shoulders filled out every inch of the jacket of his expensive black suit. Those bright green eyes matched his tie and provided a shock of color to the whole Tall, Dark, and Deadly look he had going on.

He managed to telegraph power without saying a word, as a hum of energy pulsed around him. She fought off a shiver and reached for her spoon. Hardly a weapon but something about this guy made her insides bounce and the blood leave her head, and she had no idea why.

"Excuse me?" She used a tone that let him know just sitting down without asking was not okay. Some women might like the kind of takeover type of guy who assumed his presence was welcome every where. Not her.

"We need to come to an understanding."

The voice, deep and husky with an edge of gravelly heat, skidded across her senses. She felt it as much as she heard it. The tone struck her, held her mesmerized, before the meaning behind the words hit her. "Uh-huh, well, maybe we should understand that seat is already taken," she said.

"By?"

"Literally anyone else who wants it." She looked down, making a show of taking the lid off her cup and stirring the few inches of coffee left inside. That struck her as the universal not-interested signal.

She waited for him to grumble, or call her a name and scamper off. She had issued a dismissal after all. But his presence loomed and she glanced up again.

"Emery Finn." Her name rolled off his tongue.

That shiver moving through her turned into a full body shake. "Wait, do we know each other?"

"You've been making inquiries."

It was the way he said it as much as what he said. How he sat there without moving. Perfect posture and laser-like focus that stayed on her face, never wavering even as a pretty woman openly gawked at him as she passed by.

The surreal scene had Emery holding onto her cup with both hands. "It sounds like you're reading from a really bad screenplay."

"This isn't fiction."

"Uh-huh. You know what it also isn't? Interesting." She waved him off. "Go away."

"You need to stop searching for information." He finally blinked. "No more questions. No more inquiries through back channels at government agencies."

In her line of work she sometimes angered people. Never on purpose, because ticked-off people tended not to open up and share. "I research for a living. If I've somehow upset you or—"

"This is personal, not business."

That sounded…not good. Like time-to-call-the-police not good. "Who are you?"

He continued to stare. He didn't move or threaten her, not directly, but his presence filled the space in front of her. The noise of the café faded into the background. A loud male voice a few tables away flattened to a mumble and the people shuffling by blurred.

"Someone who is trying to help you."

Trivia question: What is the name of the romantic suspense series that UNDER THE WIRE is a part of? 

You can find the answer in her interview. Click here (and scroll down to her interview)



AVERY FLYNN 
This past year, Jillian interviewed Award-winning romance author Avery Flynn. Avery has three slightly-wild children, loves a hockey-addicted husband and is desperately hoping someone invents the coffee IV drip. She was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs.

You can find the answer in her interview. Click here (and scroll down to her interview).

VIRGINIA TAYLOR
Virginia Taylor is one of Avril Tremayne's top picks for historical romance - in part because Australian historical romances tend to be a bit thin on the ground, so the settings are extra interesting.

Virginia started as an art student, became a nurse/midwife, and then decided to write. While she awaited publication she worked in interior design and theatre set painting/design. Now she paints only when she needs to think about her next story.

Trivia Question: In addition to writing historical romances, Virginia has a new contemporary series inspired by her early arty career!  What is the series called?




ANNIE O'NEIL
Avril Tremayne is a sucker for a good medical romance, so grabbed Annie O'Neil to indulge her own sneaky passion for hot doctors.

Annie spent most of her childhood with a leg draped over the family rocking chair and a book in her hand. Novels, baking and writing too much teenage angst poetry ate up most of her youth. Now, quite a few years on from those fevered daydreams of being a poet, Annie splits her time between corralling her husband (and real life Scottish hero) into helping her with their cows or scratching the backs of their rare breed pigs and spending some very happy hours at her computer writing.

Connect with Annie via her website.

What is Annie's favorite TV medical drama? 

You'll find the answer here (scroll down to her interview).


JANE PORTER

Jane is a NYT and USA Today bestselling author of over 50 romances and 11 women's fiction novels and winner of RWA's RITA AWARD with her novella, Take Me, Cowboy. She also founded Tule Publishing in 2013 to give romance and women's fiction authors support and opportunities. Follow on Amazon. But the most important thing to me is that she's a friend.  I fell in love with Jane's story telling. Meeting her in person was a fan-girl moment. Becoming friends with her was awesome!  ~Angi

Jane wants to go somewhere and spend at least three weeks soaking up atmosphere and seeing how the sun rises. Where does she want to go?

You'll find the answer here (scroll down to her interview).


NANCY NAIGLE

Nancy is a USA Today bestselling author  who write small-town love stories with a dash of suspense and a whole lot of heart. Now happily retired from a career in finance, she devotes her time to writing, antiquing, and enjoying the occasional spa day with friends. A Virginia girl at heart, Nancy now calls North Carolina home. Follow on Amazon. You won't just like Nancy's award-winning writing. She has such a big heart that it's easy to understand why the writing is soooo darn good. ~Angi

What kind of heels does Nancy dance in?

You'll find the answer here (scroll down to her interview).


BARBARA WALLACE

Barbara Wallace is the award-winning, best-selling author of 20 novels, including Weekend Agreement and The Courage to Say Yes.  The proud mother of a 22-year-old National Guard Lieutenant, she lives in New England with her husband and their menagerie of rescue cats. Barbara rescues animals which puts her higher on my good people list. It might be cats instead of pups, but it takes a huge heart to take in, care for, fall in love with, and then give away a precious pet to strangers. Her writing is the new-classic series romance that I fell in love with and helped inspire me to be a writer! ~Angi

Enjoy a Sizzling-Hot, Suspenseful Holiday with HelenKay Dimon






When I dream of Christmas, I dream of many things. And sometimes I dream of movies that open with Christmas scenes, especially suspense movies like Die Hard or Lethal Weapon—remember the Christmas tree lot scene in Lethal Weapon—the one where you first realized that Mel Gibson had serious mental health issues? No wait—that was his character, Martin Riggs.

This sort of holiday reverie usually puts me in the mood for a good romantic suspense novel, preferably one written by HelenKay Dimon. Like the two books below, which deserve a place in your ereader or under your tree this year!

Merry Christmas and happy reading, Jillian Stone

“If we do this, it won’t be once. I’ve wanted you beneath me and screaming my name for the last seven years. This happens…” Brennan paused, his fingers flexing into her shoulders with just enough pressure to make her knees wobble. “And it’s not going to be fast. It’s not going to be impulsive, and it’s not going to be just today. Do you understand?”


Christmas is coming to Pine Mountain—and it has a way of stirring up memories, good and bad. Nick Brennan may manage the Double Shot bar smooth as good whiskey, but his past is a hot mess. When he runs into a burning building to save a little boy, some people start thinking there’s more to his heroism than holiday spirit. And then the local reporter assigned to the story turns out to be gorgeous Ava Mancuso, the girl who got away.

Ava knows what it’s like to have a past. But the changes she’s seen in Nick since she knew him do more than set off her natural curiosity—his warm eyes and gruff charm have her instincts fired up. Still, all the chemistry in the world doesn’t erase history, even when Nick invites her to his little sister’s mistletoe wedding. Does he have a heart under all those secrets? Or is this going to be just another Christmas past?

Kimberly Kincaid writes contemporary romance that splits the difference between sexy and sweet. When she's not sitting cross-legged in an ancient desk chair known as "The Pleather Bomber", she can be found practicing obscene amounts of yoga, whipping up anything from enchiladas to éclairs in her kitchen, or curled up with her nose in a book.

THREE BOOKS YOU CAN’T MISS

HELENKAY DIMON has something new for everyone this fall. 
HelenKay is a former divorce attorney turned full-time romance author. Odd transition, right? She has sold over thirty novels, novellas and shorts to numerous publishers, including Kensington, Harlequin and Penguin, Samhain, Carina Press, and HarperCollins. Her nationally bestselling and award-winning books have been showcased in numerous venues and her books have twice been named "Red-Hot Reads" and excerpted in Cosmopolitan magazine. But the best part of the job is never having to wear pantyhose.

FACING FIRE
Bad Boys Undercover, book #3

When his uncle is brutally murdered, Josiah King knows that business just got personal. His uncle’s ties to the Alliance can mean only one thing: Josiah and his black ops team are targets, along with everyone they love. Primed for vengeance, Josiah is determined to unravel the plot—until long-legged redhead Sutton Dahl becomes a dangerous distraction.

Sutton’s dream job turned into a nightmare when her boss hired someone to kill her. With nowhere else to run, she turns to Josiah. Secretive, strong, and much too sexy, he’s a puzzle she longs to solve, and a temptation she can’t ignore.

Thrown together in the face of Alliance’s most lethal threat, Josiah and Sutton become unlikely partners, fighting for their lives even as the attraction between them flares into real passion. Torn between his team and the woman who means everything to him, Josiah will risk it all to save Sutton, even if that decision is his last.

MINE
Holton Woods, book #3

She doesn’t depend on anyone for anything. He intends to make her his completely.

Natalie Udall thought her position at the CIA was secure—until protecting her team earned her an armed escort into certain danger. Natalie can’t stand the idea of being secreted away in a cabin in the middle of nowhere, especially since it means sharing close quarters with the controlling bodyguard enlisted to keep her alive.

Gabe MacIntosh joined the military to support his son, trained as a sniper and dealt with death on a regular basis. Now retired and operating a security firm, his first assignment is to protect a CIA agent on the run. She’s strong willed and difficult—and all Gabe can think about is stripping her of every expectation she has.

LINE OF FIRE
Greenway Range, book #2

With his military career over and his ego bruised, Jason McAdams is ready to start over. As a founding partner in Greenway Range, his new life is everything he’d ever dared to dream about, but it also puts him in constant contact with the one woman he can’t have: his best friend’s little sister.

Molly Cain has loved Jason for as long as she can remember, and seeing him now—damaged and self-destructive—is a constant heartache. Watching him numbly work his way through woman after woman is damn near intolerable. Until one summer night changes everything.

After a rocky start, the sex is hot and naughty and all Molly knew it would be. And when he makes another pass at her, Molly doesn’t say no. Or the many times after that, either. But Jason carries a secret—one that’s kept him away from Molly for all these years, one that could ruin everything. He’s been shot at and seen death, but letting the woman he loves find out the truth is the real worst-case scenario…

THE Q&A
Check out the Previous GLIAS interviews


ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
HELENKAY: As often as possible and non-stop after I turn my book in and the deadline is over. It’s my favorite thing. Fall into a story, forget what time it is, ignore the phone…forget to feed the pets.

ANGI: Benedict Cumberbatch or Chris Pine?
HELENKAY: I only get one choice?  Cumberbatch wins based on accent.

ANGI: What’s your favorite meal?
HELENKAY:  Steak and fries. It’s a little naughty and I generally need a nap after, but I love it!

ANGI: What do you like about the hero of LINE OF FIRE?
HELENKAY: He’s looking for redemption. He’s made huge mistakes and taken the heroine for granted, but he’s trying to be a better man.

ANGI: Where do you read and how often?
HELENKAY:  Unfortunately the real answer is: on my laptop while I revise the book I’m writing. But I love reading and have this chaise lounge in my office. It’s perfect for reading (and napping).

ANGI: What action adventure movie would you like to be in?
HELENKAY: All of them. I adore action movies but I fear in real life I’d be the first one to die.

ANGI: What’s your favorite recent movie?
HELENKAY: I just saw The Martian and really enjoyed it. I don’t know anything about science, so it could all be wrong and I don’t care.

ANGI: What's your most favorite thing to do in California?
HELENKAY: Walk by the Bay. Water, sun and a cool breeze - bliss!

ANGI: Is your favorite villain still Aaron Stampler in Primal Fear? How does his character hold that spot?
HELENKAY: He is absolutely a favorite because he hid his evil so well, yet it was right there under the surface and we wanted to think it wasn’t true.

ANGI: Hiking Boots or Dancing Heels?
HELENKAY: Never heels. I wear them for the three fancy things I go to a year and nothing more.

ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: In a recent tweet you said: Got 2 reviews tonight for LINE OF FIRE. One loved/one hated. No surprise. The hero/heroine make bad choices & may not connect w/ everyone.” Can you tell us a little more? Without spoilers of course.

HELENKAY:  Molly and Jason have a rough past. They’ve known each other forever. He is her big brother’s best friend. Their lives keep throwing them together and her feelings are still strong, but when the book opens she is done pining for him. Wants to stop loving him. Right at that time, of course, Jason realizes he’s been taking her for granted and hurt her and wants to fix their relationship. When you add in a HUGE secret that motivates his actions, you get a couple that wants to be together but keeps holding back. That leads to a lot of angst. Some reviewers are blaming Jason. Some are say Molly is the problem. It’s like watching friends take sides in a break-up. I had a feeling that would happen, but their battle is realistic in light of their past and it takes every minute of the few weeks over which the book happens to sort it all out.
