Task Force 125 · Book One
The Path to Freedom
Sarah Stevens had nothing left to lose when what would have been a Vegas mugging ended with her standing and the men she beat leading to a job offer. Three weeks later she’s in the Nevada desert learning to take down men twice her size, on a one-way path into Task Force 125 — a covert American counter-terrorism unit whose first mission for her is seducing her way onto a Mediterranean arms dealer’s yacht. The man directing her in the earpiece — Vince Hennessee, former Force Recon, scarred and patient and watching her too closely — is the one she shouldn’t want. The man on the deck is the one she has to take down. The path between the two is the path to freedom — and it’s going to cost her something she didn’t know she still had to lose. Slow-burn into white-hot, with action that doesn’t flinch and a found-family unit you’ll want to read all five books to live with.

A Taste of Liberty
Sarah came to Italy for a job and stayed for the villa. She was supposed to be playing house with a retiring asset named Angelo — gentleman, gracious, exactly the kind of man who could give a woman like Sarah the life she’d given up dreaming of. He has a beautiful estate. He has Isabella in the kitchen. He has a ring on offer and a reason for offering it: he wants out, and he wants her with him when he goes. The problem is the man on the other end of her radio. Vince Hennessee — task-force boss, former Force Recon, the man who hand-picked her — has been silent for months. When he finally comes for her in Italy, it isn’t to bring her home. It’s to watch her work. And then to say, at the front door, with a taxi already running, the three words he should have said before the mission started. Then he gets on a plane to Moscow. And the plane doesn’t land where it was supposed to. Steamy, propulsive, ends on a cliffhanger that lands directly in Freedom’s Promise.

Freedom’s Promise
Vince Hennessee has been a hostage before. He knows the drill. Stay calm. Stay observant. Wait for the moment. Don’t think about the woman. Don’t think about the woman. He’s thinking about the woman. Sarah Stevens has spent every hour since the bad news from Rome on a private jet, a satellite phone, and a manifest of every favor Task Force 125 is willing to call in. Will is running ops. Jason is running guns. Chris is running every language he knows. And Sarah is running on the promise she didn’t get to make at the front door of a villa in Italy when Vince said it first and didn’t wait to hear it back. The direct pickup from A Taste of Liberty‘s cliffhanger, and the book where Sarah graduates from the woman they recruited to the woman they run plays around. Steamy, propulsive, the answer to every reader who finished Book 2 wanting to know if she got there in time.

Stealing Liberties
Konstantin has been very busy lately. Nikolai’s grudges have kept his trunk full and his BMW running and his early-retirement fund growing. He is not asking too many questions. He is approaching the kind of bored that needs a real job to fix, and when Nikolai calls with three foreign targets and a bonus, Konstantin grins as he merges onto the highway. Three time zones away, Vince Hennessee is finally back in his own bed. Sarah Stevens has finally said the thing she didn’t say in Italy. Will Adams is finally cleaning his guns at the Camp instead of cleaning up a mess in Rome. The team is healing. The team is good. The team has no idea Konstantin is on a plane. The ensemble book — where the whole team has skin in the game, where the slow-burn romances around Sarah and Vince’s core get their own named pages, where the villain is a quiet professional rather than a screaming ideologue, and where the body count rises far enough that readers stop trusting Lisa Pietsch with their favorites. Steamy, ensemble-driven, and the binge readers’ favorite of the series.

Kissing the Frogman
Jennifer Santiago can spot a special forces adrenaline junkie from miles away and knows the score. They’re great for a hook-up but lousy in the long-term relationship department. Lucky for her she was on the rebound and one of those junkies just walked into the casino. Brian Allen had seen combat all around the world as a Navy SEAL and a paramilitary operations officer in the CIA’s Special Activities Division. When his team is given a cushy assignment as backup in Morocco, he quells the itch for action by taking a night to relax with a beautiful distraction. When she proved too distracting, he was happy to take the Director’s call – until he realized his big distraction was the Director’s daughter. A fast, hot, salt-water-and-sunburn romantic suspense about a man whose motto includes the words “good looking corpse” and the woman whose rules don’t include letting him keep that motto. Can be read as a series standalone or as Book 5 after readers know the team.
