The
current batch of operatives had returned from hundreds of assignments
unscathed…until one mission went horribly wrong. Several men lost their lives
and the group disbanded. The remaining leathernecks were scattered in the wind
with new identities. They were told to blend in. Be normal. Or face being
forever silenced just like their fallen brothers.
Now,
two years later, each living member of the group is kidnapped and given a
chance to make things right. But this time they’re no longer under the thumb of
Uncle Sam. A mysterious private backer who knows about their past has brought
them back together. No longer are they forced to turn a blind eye to the lost
and forsaken.
A
new life. A new future…Elite Metal.
Bound By Steele
By
Anna Alexander and Jennifer Kacey
To
save his Marine brothers and sister he must accept the past isn’t dead and
buried. Reuniting survivors means he is forced to first forgive…the enemy.
Steele,
the man he was, died. A civilian with a new name stands in his place in the
wake of death. Everything he had, lost when his undercover contact, Venus,
disappeared when it counted most. In the shadow of regret, Steele is reborn
from the flames of a Phoenix. To right the wrongs that destroyed his military
family, he must put his trust in the hands of a mysterious backer, and the
woman who led his team to the slaughter.
Not
knowing who sold her out at the final hour, Alayna Devlin, spent the last two
years on the run. Then the mastermind behind Elite Metal tracked her down, and
offered her the chance to atone for past mistakes. To cleanse her conscience
requires a baptism by fire and submission to the man who will either put the
final nail in her coffin or set her heart free.
The
past. The future. Truth. Lies. Nothing is as it seems when two shattered hearts
are finally given the chance to heal.
Chrome’s Salvation
By
Jennifer Kacey
A
former leader of Elite Recon, reduced to nothing more than an apathetic
existence.

coming back to life.

destroy it. Then on their last mission as Elite Recon they were
double-crossed…and everything went horribly wrong.
Cammie
needs help rescuing her siblings from the clutches of a man determined to crush
everything she holds dear. But she has
no one to turn to. No one to lean on when she’s trapped in a world she never
knew existed. Lost in a world of pseudo-normalcy Chrome’s reduced to nothing
more than existing. Day in. Day out. Nothing to live for.
Until
his girl’s life hangs in the balance. Now nothing will stand in his way of
coming back to life.
Love
at first sight is a myth. Or so Chrome thought. Everything he thinks is true
disappears in the presence…of his salvation.

Pure Copper
By
Heather Long

betraying the one man who really sees her.
Former
Marine special forces, Sachi “Copper” James is a chameleon. She thrives on
being someone else. Her mission? Identify the rat who sold her team bad intel.
Gabriel Danvers, ex-CIA analyst, is a master of disseminating the details. He
wants to enjoy a normal life, retired from the game. His mission? Teach

Sterling’s Seduction
By
Sabrina York
When
a snoopy reporter threatens the Elite Metal, Sterling will do whatever it takes
to kill her story about the team. Even if it means he has to tie her to his
bed.
When
Sterling spots a reporter masquerading as a waitress in a dingy bar in Deep
Ellum, he suspects she’s investigating the team. And that’s something he just
cannot allow to happen. Too many lives are at stake. He will do everything in
his power to learn the truth—even seduce her. And to stop her story from coming
out? He might even tie her to the bed.
Nothing is off the table when it comes to
keeping his brothers safe. Nothing. It’s a damn shame she’s everything he’s
ever wanted. It’s a damn shame her touch warms his cold, dead heart.
Platinum’s Choice
By
Rebecca Royce
Platinum
left the life he had with Rose in New York to rejoin his team and silence the
nightmares from Operation Phoenix. But
when Rose is forced to go on the run with Platinum’s hidden son, he will have
no choice but to return to his old life and reclaim what he has ached for every
day since. Red Wolf’s sniper wants to nudge Plat’s underbelly and they’re going
to find out quickly how deadly he can be.
Platinum
was a man of few words before he changed his name and had his sniper rifle
taken away. But as Elijah, he could start over, maybe even fall in love with
his hidden son's Kindergarten teacher, Rose. But Platinum is reborn when Elijah
is kidnapped, so he's left with no choice but to vanish, leaving Rose to wonder
about his fate, broken-hearted.
Rose
has spent the last year getting over the disappearance of the man she knew as
Eli. Now, alone and terrified, she finds herself on the run from a sniper while
trying to hide a scared little boy from certain death.
Red
Wolf's crew isn't done with Plat, and his soft underbelly is just the place to
nudge. Sniper vs. sniper, Platinum will reclaim what is his. That is, if she'll
even have him back...
Mercury’s Poison
By
Saranna DeWylde
A
scarred, mad genius more monster than man must protect the beauty he's become
obsessed with from a beast more terrible than himself.
Serum
17 took his face, took his kindness and took his empathy. It took, in essence,
all of John Thrace leaving only the Elite Metal operative "Mercury"
in his place. A man marked with a biohazard tattoo because he knows he's
incompatible with other living things. Until he becomes obsessed with the
seemingly innocent doctor Hazel Brewer and a chance encounter changes
everything.
Hazel
knows the giant scarred man won't hurt her even though she's in the business of
saving lives and he'd rather take them. In fact, she's never felt safer or more
alive than when she's with him. Even when a terrible biological weapon forces
her into his arms for a night of hot passion she won't soon forget.
Their
love could be the redemption he never thought he wanted, or something even more
toxic: Mercury's poison.

the latter. Quietly operating in the background of a team that no longer trusts
or wants him, he completes all the dirty little jobs that keep the team alive
and flush with new intel.
But
when he learns Poppy plans to infiltrate a terrorist gathering, he refuses to
hide in the shadows a moment longer. In a world of secrets and lies, Poppy
Jones is his bright light of truth and trust.
And
he'll brave the fires of hell--and the disdain of Steele and Chrome--to protect
her.
Excerpt:
Platinum’s Choice
Platinum stalked toward the car. What could have happened to
Kent? Young children with grandmothers who wouldn’t let them eat anything with
red dye number five in it—he knew because it was a fact Tony presented him with
at the last meeting—didn’t simply disappear in such a way where professional
private eyes couldn’t find them. His danger radar went off in a big way.
“Stop it.” Copper grabbed his arm. “Whatever happened in
there, whatever you need to get done, you can’t run off and not tell Chrome or
Steele where you’re going. Fuck it, Platinum, you’ve been trained better.”
“It’s personal.”
She shook her head. Copper was the strongest, toughest woman
he’d ever known. Why she decided to make friends with him when most everyone
else left him to his own devices never ceased to puzzle him. Cooper and Mercury
were thicker than thieves, only whatever relationship those two shared—or didn’t—he
wouldn’t pretend to understand. Copper had gone and fallen in love with someone
other than Merc and everyone seemed okay with it.
“Yes. And?” She wasn’t going to let it go.
“I have a kid.” He could hardly mutter the words. A year of
impossibly long days passed since he’d thought about The Boy let alone told
anyone, even the people he trusted with his life, about Kent’s existence.
“I think you’d better go see Poppy. Whatever it is, you
can’t hide it from the uppity-ups. Whatever happened, it’s only going to make
things harder.”
Damn it. He hated when she was right.
Plat wasn’t going to find Kent if Tony hadn’t been able to,
not without resources his team could provide. They usually worked in groups of
four, each member reporting to Chrome or Steele, depending on who was heading
that particular mission. He couldn’t ask anyone else to be involved. Any danger
he took on would be his own
None of those facts meant he couldn’t ask permission to go
so he didn’t end up with his teammates chasing him down assuming he’d gone off
mission.
Steele would talk to Poppy and Poppy would manage Warbucks.
“I’ll call Steele.”
Cooper patted him on the back. “Good.”
“Could you do something for me?”
She raised an eyebrow. “Maybe.”
“Good answer.” Never make a promise until you knew what it
entailed. Not unless it was in the field. Then he knew she’d do what he asked
as he would. Team relationships were the only friendships Plat ever understood.
“What is it?”
“There’s an asshat in the bar named Tony. I think he’s about
to drop dead. I don’t want him to do it here, too many questions.” He really
didn’t want to have caused problems for Bone Daddy’s. Tony Di’Fallipi dying at
the table minutes after Plat walked away seemed a headache he didn’t need.
Plus, needless death irked him. Why let someone die when you could save them?
Some deaths had to happen, others didn’t.
“I’ll take him out and maybe I’ll drop him at an ER.”
“Thanks.” He unlocked the car. First Steele then Kent.
“Platinum.” Copper called his attention. “Sometime you’re
going to have to tell me how you ended up with a kid.”
“Copper, if you don’t understand how it works then Gabriel
is doing something really wrong.”
His teammate hooked up with her guy months ago and much as
Plat didn’t understand how any of their group could manage to have a real
social life, Copper seemed happy, which meant she needed to be ragged about it,
every chance he got.
“Fuck you, Platinum.”
“I’m pretty fucked. Trust me.”
