He gave up a life of killing…but he’ll go back to it for her.
I am so excited to introduce you to my new series, Unsanctioned. It features some tough, deadly retired assassins and the women they’ll do anything to save.
Today, I’m sharing the covers for the first book in the series, Burn the World Down. In this story, you’ll meet Nash Oakley, former Navy SEAL and retired black ops assassin, and his heroine who happens to be his best friend’s little sister, Georgiana “Georgie” Linden.
Scroll down to see the main cover, special edition cover, and read the blurb for BURN THE WORLD DOWN.
There is also a giveaway to celebrate the cover reveal. I have THREE action-packed paperbacks to give away, plus signed bookplates. These include Mission: Her Protection, Fury, and The Hero She Needs.

Burn the World Down will also have a special edition paperback in addition to the main ebook and print cover. Take a look at the gorgeous special edition cover!

I’ll burn the world down for her.
Nash
I left my hometown behind. I joined the military, disappeared into black ops, and became a weapon for my country. I have no regrets.
Except one with pretty hazel eyes.
Now I’m retired, living a quiet life hiding in plain sight in Las Vegas. I still think of her. The prettiest girl I ever knew. My best friend’s little sister.
But I swore to leave her alone to live a normal life. That I wouldn’t drag her into the darkness.
Then I find out her life isn’t golden.
She’s in danger and I have the right set of skills to save her.
Georgie
Your life can change in an instant. One second, you have a happy family and a crush on your brother’s best friend.
The next, you’ve lost everyone you ever loved.
My family is dead and my sister fell prey to a predator. A rich, connected man who promised her the world.
And gave her hell instead.
Now, I have nothing left but a burning need for vengeance.
Until I collide with the boy who left me behind. A boy who’s now a tough, dangerous man.
He says he’ll protect me. He says he’ll help me take down my sister’s killer.
I might survive my revenge, but will I survive when he walks away from me again?
