HERO UNDERCOVER

 Photojournalist and University adjunct Professor Kayla Rhea, loved her humanitarian work in Africa. She loved it even after her father and brothers told her to find another region to visit. Even after her kidnapping and subsequent rescue by Hunter Barrett, the face of a man she hasn’t yet been able to tuck away with the memories of that experience. She needs closure before she can move on.

 

When her ex-military father encourages her to come to a benefit, she agrees. When she meets the man behind the Barrett Family Foundation, it is none other than the Ranger who saved her two years ago. One look and she knew she would never be able to lock him away with those memories. She needed him too much.  

 

Jonathan Hunter Barrett, III, now in civilian life can’t forget the woman he rescued during his last “boots on the ground” military mission. He had not spoken to her since that fateful day two years ago, but he had seen her in his dreams every night.

It was true, Barrett Engineering and the Barrett Family Foundation kept him busy but the face of Kayla Rhea with her stubborn innocence kept him hostage. He dabbled in a handful of one-night stands since the mission, trying to rid himself of her hold, without success. 

 

He always got what he went after

Therefore, he hatched a plan to remedy his problem. Bring her to him and test the connection. He knew life must go on, so it was more than time to claim Kayla Rhea or purge her from his life forever.

One afternoon control walked in her door in the form of Quinlan O’Connor, rough, handsome, and all alpha male.

It makes his search for a wife a monumental quest.

When doing an errand for his father, he meets spunky Cheyenne Sterling, a young woman who needs a keeper with a firm hand and loving arms.  She reveals her wilder side and risky behaviors over a pseudo-business dinner at his parents' home. The next thing he knows, he finds her in a private club he warned her to not attend. In Quinn’s world, there are consequences when a young woman disobeys him.

Excerpt

Quinn pushed through the accounting firm’s outer door taking a moment to remove his sunglasses and adjust to the lighting. He strode over to the person sitting at the front desk digging in a file drawer as he automatically removed his hat.

“Ma’am, I have papers for Mr. Sterling from Emerald Isle Ranch, could you give them to him?”

The woman looked up into bright hazel eyes surrounded by darkly tanned laugh lines as she eased her chair back a bit so that she could take him in more fully.  Cheyenne Jamis Sterling, C.J. professionally, stretched out her long legs in a more relaxed manner than she actually felt. She was not a short woman herself but from her vantage point she could appreciate the height and breadth of the deputy. The creation before her was one of God’s beautiful creatures that raised her appreciation in the natural beauty and work of art that could be mankind and raised that admiration quite sharply.

Cheyenne’s cerulean blue eyes were always her proudest feature but as she gazed into brilliant and unusually vivid hazel eyes, she wondered what children with this man would be like. She could also see that he appreciated her as much as she appreciated him. He was not gorgeous in a movie star, woman swooning way but captivating in a virile, blood heating way. She was quite sure that he and men like him created and perpetuated the stereotypical persona of rugged men taming the Wild West.

 Cheyenne swung her long blonde hair over her shoulder while she chose her words.

“Mr. Sterling has passed away, but I can take the papers.”

Quinn gave a shocked look and said, “They both died?”                                      

“Excuse me? Who, both?”

“Sterling, senior and junior?”

“There is no junior, Mister…?”                                                        

“O’Connor.”

“No, you aren’t Mr. O’Connor, I know him.”

Cheyenne was beginning to be suspicious of this man, but her doubts battled with her initial thoughts of attraction and his uniform.

“Of course I am. I am just not my father, Sean. I am Quinlan. So if there is no junior, then give this to your boss when he returns.”

Cheyenne wasn’t sure whether she should laugh or be angry.

“I don’t have a boss, Mr. O’Connor but I can take the papers for your father.”

“No, I am supposed to leave them for C.J. Sterling and if he isn’t in this office, I’ll just take them back to my father.”

Cheyenne was experiencing that quickly ignited anger she usually tried to control and felt her muscles tighten with the effort in the face of the arrogance of this man.

“Don’t be such a pompous ass. I am C. J. Sterling, Cheyenne Sterling, James’ daughter. I am his accountant. I use C. J. professionally and my friends call me Cheyenne.”

 

Quinlan's Quest is a novella and the first story of Quinlan and Cheyenne's trilogy of love. Book 2, Accepting his Ways is a novel also out August 30th. Look for them both...

This is a taste of ME:

Alyssa Bailey is a dyed in the wool Texan living in the beauty of Southeast Alaska with her husband, her youngest four (of eleven) children, two dogs and two cats. She lives where the sky meets the mountains, the mountains meet the ocean, and the wildlife frolic on land, sea, and air. People, the ultimate interlopers, are wedged in where allowed and are properly thankful for the privilege.

Her first memory of books was when her mother read to her as a small child. She began writing as soon as she could put letters together to form words. Her first story at the age of six was about a performing horse that ran away from the circus. As she got older and read more of a variety of books, she would say, “I can do better than that” and then rewrite them in her head. She was writing fanfiction before fanfiction was a ‘thing.' 

In high school and college, she won journalism and special recognition for her academic and fictional writing. Alyssa is a firm believer in all things spanking. She loves writing about domestic discipline and power exchanges between strong, intelligent women who are not afraid to make a stand and men confident enough to give them their space but Alpha enough to keep his woman safe, in spite of herself. Her characters predominately live in Regency England amongst lords and ladies, in the contemporary realm amongst men and women of the world, and all things Cowboy. 

Contact her, she loves to chat, and as always, have a Spankolicious day!
