At the peak of his medical career in St. Martins, Dr. Michael Lankford decided to leave his partner and life-long friend Case McPhail and move to Crosgrove with his wife Jill, to be near their daughter Anna and her husband. There he found the perfect location to set up a practice and begin a journey that would demand every ounce of strength and courage he could muster. The town of Crosgrove welcomed this tall, dark, handsome doctor with open arms, not realizing they were looking at a hero. Michael set forth a plan to become more involved in the well being of his patients. He developed an uncanny ability to read a person quickly and this aided him in the diagnosis of his patients. But it also gave him information that forced him to make decisions he never bargained for. He befriended an old man who was one of his patients, and together they attempted to solve a case that had grown cold and was gathering dust in the local police files. The heartache of one mother who'd lost her child drove Michael to do things he never dreamed he was capable of doing. He found out that truth could set a man free or cause him to squirm, depending on what he was hiding. The events that followed caused Michael and Jill to question their decision to make such a dramatic change in their lives, for the losses they incurred once they moved to Crosgrove tested the boundaries of their marriage and their lives. A tale of courage and an obsession for the truth, this story pushes caution out the window and keeps you on the edge of your seat. But the book will remain with you until you've read the last word.

Agent Smith Sanderson had a powerful presence with his tall stature and inhuman strength, but it was his uncanny ability to recall events, places and detail that made him the perfect match for covert. He worked for the United States Government as a special op agent alongside his best friend, Ben Parker. While on mission, their whereabouts were unknown to the rest of the world. They risked their lives for a government who would deny their existence should they be captured or killed. After doing this for years, it began to change who they were. Grace, Smith's wife, was a principal at Ross High and was fluent in three languages. She'd learned the hard way that life with Smith would be a roller coaster of emotions, for when he was called out on a mission, she had no promise he would return. She was a strong woman and dug into her career with a vengeance so that she would not fall apart if he didn't return home. Their relationship was intense when he was home and they accomplished great things together. But she vowed never to remarry because she knew he could never be replaced. In a horrific turn of events, Grace and Ben were thrown together when a covert operation failed and Smith was left behind. Because of a promise Ben made to Smith to take care of Grace should anything ever happen, she allowed him into her world. But for some reason she couldn't forget. She couldn't let go. Not yet. Little did they know that across a vast ocean in a remote location in Pakistan, an American soldier was recovering from deadly wounds. Only he had no memory of his past. His wife. His best friend. He was a man with no country and, no name, and an inability to find his way back home. A powerful story of the human will to survive and a chilling reminder of words written in stone thousands of years ago; greater love hath no man than he lay down his life for his friends. A story you will not soon forget.

On a cold day in Washington, D.C., Bill Sinclair received a phone call that chilled him to the bone. And he didn't scare easily. He was a former Navy SEAL who had merged back into society as a CPA and was enjoying spending time with his wife, Sharon, and five grown children. The call was from the White House from the National Security Advisor, informing Bill that he had been chosen, along with eleven other men from the military, to serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States. These twelve men would be members of The President's Club. There was no turning it down. But somehow Bill knew his life would be changed forever. This unfortunate request would color the world of Bill Sinclair. He now had a secret that had to be kept at all costs from his wife and family. In the events that followed, Bill and the other eleven men were asked to be a part of so many horrific acts that they started losing their faith in a country that was based on freedom; a government by the people and for the people. Their minds could not manage doing covert in their own country. A page-turner in its own right, this story holds within it the heart of what America stands for. Heroes walk on holy ground, when it's all said and done. But for a while, at least in this man's life, he was a dead man walking. A quick read, and maybe one of the author's best, so put your feet up and keep the midnight oil burning. This is a ride you'll never forget.
