When cosmetic dermatologist Jake Goodwin meets Briana Caulder, she leaves a lingering impression, and it's not a good one. Beautiful. Entitled. Obnoxious. In short, his new patient is the caricature of a Connecticut trophy wife. But when Briana returns days later, she's a different woman: soft-spoken, polite, shy. And terrified.
Goodwin suspects she's a victim of spousal abuse. Trapped in his own faltering marriage, he can't help but reach out to her. What harm could come from a short conversation over coffee? But when friendship turns into something more, Briana's powerful husband retaliates, with deadly consequences.
Now a patient is dead - either the victim of an experimental beauty drug with a lethal side effect, malpractice, or murder. Goodwin stands to lose everything: his career, his family, even his life. But can he trust Briana to help him, or does she have her own dark, hidden agenda?

Bound by Honor: Commander & Doctor
A military romantic suspense novel Major Cecelia Livingston isn't a soldier-she's a doctor. A damn good one. Trained in trauma, decorated with credentials, and hardened by deployment after deployment. But none of that matters the second she steps off the chopper and onto the dirt of an unofficial base that technically doesn't exist. Because the man waiting for her isn't interested in her rank. Or her reputation. Or her orders from command. Lieutenant Colonel Rhys Callan runs one of the most elite black ops units in the field-covert, brutal, and untouchable. He doesn't lose men. And six months ago, he buried his medic. He's not about to risk another one just because someone higher up decided to assign him a field doctor with no combat scars and too much heart. She's not welcome. He doesn't trust her. And he's made that painfully clear. But the mission clock is ticking. Tensions are rising. And when everything explodes-as it always does-there'll be no room for weakness, and no room for mistakes. She's determined to earn her place. He's determined to make sure she never gets close enough to try. In a war where survival depends on control, discipline, and silence, what happens when the one person you don't want in your world becomes the only one you can't lose?

Back Cover Blurb: After 4 years teaching in central Africa, Caitlyn Lancaster returns to her family in Australia, telling them she's been sent home because of looming political unrest. But Cait is more fragile than she and her Federal police handler anticipated. She's forced to accept that childhood family friend, now police detective, Riley Duncan must be told the brutal truth if she is to keep herself and her family safe. With Riley's support, Cait begins to recover her strength but civil war erupts around her friends in Umoja and her harrowing secret becomes the key to that nation's future. Putting her faith in her handler, Cait takes the ultimate risk only to discover that Agent Koffa has failed to take into account one vital detail...he's not as good at his job as he thinks he is. ** Please note, rather than the original, unedited draft, this book is now a sample of the first three chapters of the published version of As Long As She Lives. The draft version to which so many of you lovingly responded was available here for over two years and I cherish every reader and all your support but having the unedited draft available here was beginning to affect other opportunities as I attempt to establish a career in this fiction writing game. Also, I'd prefer that the version of the work that is publicly available is the best version! Again, thank you all so much for your support, I look forward to sharing my next novel in the draft stage soon! Darcy. ©Narrative Disorder 2014 - All rights reserved.Complete
