GET READY FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE!

  

 From bestselling author Julie Ann Walker comes the next installment in her hit Black Knights Inc. series!

 

He puts the hot…

Christian Watson, a former SAS officer and current BKI operator, never thought he would return to England after a terrible turn of events forced him to abandon his homeland. But now he’s back on British soil where old enemies are determined to do him in. Fighting for his life is pretty much SOP for Christian. Doing it with the beautiful, bossy Emily Scott in tow is another matter entirely.

 

In hot pursuit.

Emily lost her coveted job at the CIA because of a bad romance with a coworker, and now she has just one rule when it comes to men: they’re for recreational purposes only. But when she and Christian are thrust into very close quarters while evading two mysterious men who want Christian dead, she can’t help but question all her ideas about love and life lived on the edge. Battling the bad guys is hard enough, battling her feelings for Christian just might prove impossible.

 

“This razor-sharp, sensual, and intriguing tale will get hearts pounding.” — Publishers Weekly STARRED review for Wild Ride

“Julie Ann Walker is one of those authors to be put on a keeper shelf along with Nora Roberts, Suzanne Brockmann and Allison Brennan.” – KirkusReviews

About the Author:

Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Julie grew up in a house full of women – she has three older sisters. As you can imagine, there was no lack of drama… or romance. Her mother enrolled her in a book club as soon as she began to read and it was the small spark that ignited her voracious appetite for the written word. Because of Julie’s early immersion in literature, she found writing came quite naturally. In high school, she won multiple writing contests and was the proud senior editor of The Tiger’s Tale – her school newspaper. During her college years, however, she longed for a challenge. “Reading and writing felt like second nature to me, so I looked for a way to flex my mental muscles,” she recalls. After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree, Julie began teaching advanced high school mathematics. “I loved working with the students and facing the challenges of the classroom, but I longed for the occasional snow day when I could race to the local book store, buy two or three new novels, and curl up in front of the fire to read.” It wasn’t until a fortuitous move to Chicago that Julie once more returned to her first passion. “Thankfully, my husband – my own personal hero – encouraged my decision to write full time.” Now Julie lives on beautiful Lake Shore Drive with a view that sometimes competes with her deadlines. When she’s not writing, she enjoys camping, hiking, cycling, cooking, travel, and…reading, of course!

Blurb:

The hero we’ve all been waiting for…

 

Ethan “Ozzie” Sykes

 

Former Navy SEAL

 

Underground operator for Black Knights Inc., the covert government defense firm disguised as a custom motorcycle shop.

 

In a black-on-black international mission that went seriously sideways, Ozzie was badly injured—now he’s stuck at BKI headquarters in Chicago, champing at the bit to get out into the field again. To his disgust, he’s tasked with distracting Chicago Tribune ace reporter Samantha Tate, who’s been trying to dig up the dirt on BKI for years. Turns out Samantha’s beauty, intelligence and sense of humor are a seriously big distraction, and Ozzie’s losing his desire to keep her at bay.

 

Ozzie’s tired of hiding, and Samantha may be the best-and worst—person to share his secrets with…

Mass Market Paperback, 352 pages
Expected publication: September 1st 2015 by Sourcebooks Casablanca

 

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie Ann Walker continues her red-hot Black Knights Inc. series in rough-and-tumble Peru

“The Man” is back
Dan “The Man” Currington is back in fighting form with a mission that takes him four thousand miles south of BKI headquarters, high in the Andes Mountains of Peru. He’s hot on the trail of a rogue CIA agent selling classified government secrets to the highest bidder, when Penni DePaul arrives on the scene. Suddenly the stakes are higher, and keeping Penni safe becomes Dan’s number one priority.

And this time she’s ready
A lot has changed since former Secret Service Agent Penni DePaul last saw Dan. Now a civilian, she’s excited about what the future might hold. But before she can grab onto that future with both hands, she has to tie up some loose ends-namely, Dan Currington, the man she just can’t forget. And a secret that’s going to change both their lives-if they can stay alive, that is.

 

review

5 Stars

 

Penni is one kickass woman. Smart, can take care of herself and will to do what it takes. The chemistry she felt with Dan has kept her wake more than a night or two. Flying around the world and standing side by side in gunfights show just how brave, loyal and a bit crazy this woman is.

Dan has seen the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. A complex character who can break your heart one moment and have you in a puddle the next.  Being widowed took Dan “The Man” on a downward spiral to the bottom of a bottle.  Through the help of his brothers, friends and some chemistry on an explosive mission, The Man begins see life again.  All Alpha and sexy to the bone, a second chance at love awaken Dan from the darkness.

Intricate weaving of danger, romance and suspense to a level that has the reader hanging on every word.  My introduction to Ms. Walker’s Black Knights Series, Too Hard Too Handle left a very lasting impression.  Yes, I know I started this series way in, however I was able to understand in this ongoing story around Dan and Penni.  Emotional and sexual tension keep the reader’s heart racing as much as the action and danger on the pages.  Julie Ann Walker drew me into her world of Badass secret agent bikers with one book!  Now it’s time to go back to the beginning of the Black Knight series and get lost in this dangers world.
