Armed & Dangerous Week

We are getting Armed & Dangerous this week with Cheyenne McCray’s hot series.  New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cheyenne McCray wrote the Armed & Dangerous series in addition to the Lexi Steele novels, another thrilling series filled with suspense and intrigue. Demons not Included is the first in her new "Night Tracker" urban fantasy series. Chey is a mom just like us in the Guilty Indulgence Book Club – she has three sons, three dogs, a messy house, and she will do anything to get out of cleaning which may be why she writes so much. You can learn more about Chey by visiting her website at http://cheyennemccray.com or by watching for her guest blog to be posted this week here on our review site.

Chey’s Armed & Dangerous series was first published by Ellora’s Cave as the Wild series, but then the storyline was expanded to create the series now published by St. Martin’s Press. The storyline is much improved, now more a mix of romantic suspense and contemporary western romance. Have you read either or both of the series? Tell us what you think.

The Indulgent Bloggers will review the first three books in the series during this week as we get ready for the final book to be released this spring. Make a comment on any Armed & Dangerous post this week and be entered into a contest to win an ARC of BOOK FOUR - Clay: Armed & Dangerous being released in April 2011.

BOOK ONE - Zack: Armed & Dangerous

Ever since bad boy Zack Hunter left her ten years ago, breaking her heart, Sky MacKenna hasn't been able to find a man who sets her on fire the way he did. Then he comes striding back into her life—bigger, badder, and sexier than before....

Zack Hunter never thought his job as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent would lead him back to his small hometown, and he never thought he'd set eyes on Sky again. Leaving her behind had been the stupidest thing he had ever done, but this time he isn't going to let her go. And as soon as Zack lays eyes on Sky, he makes it clear that he intends to make her his all over again.

When Sky becomes entangled in the case he's investigating, Zack can't help but take the threat personally. As the danger mounts, their passion burns even hotter.

Author's Note: Zack: Armed & Dangerous has its foundations in a novel I wrote several years ago for a small e-publisher, Wildfire. If you read that shorter novel, you will find this endeavor far different. Longer and richer with more action, adventure, and mystery. May you enjoy Zack Hunter and Sky MacKenna. And as I've been told many times: You'll never look at cheesecake the same way again.

BOOK TWO - Luke: Armed & Dangerous

After four years abroad, Trinity MacKenna has returned home to her family's ranch in southeastern Arizona. Everything in her life is going just the way she planned it—a home in London, a brilliant career, and she's practically engaged to a gorgeous English gentleman. But when Trinity meets Luke, the cowboy turns her perfect world upside down. Everything about him is virile and sexy, dark and dangerous—and definitely not part of Trinity’s carefully arranged plans.

From the moment Luke Denver sees the sensual strawberry blond, he knows he's got to have her. Luke is intrigued by Trinity’s combination of sophistication and innocence, boldness and shyness. Even when Trinity tells him she's taken, Luke doesn't let that stop him, because he's determined to make her his…no matter the cost.

Author's Note: Luke: Armed & Dangerous has its foundations in a novel, Wildcard, I wrote several years ago for a small e-publisher. If you read that short novel, you will find this endeavor different. This novel is almost twice as long as the original book and richer with more action, adventure, and mystery. You will be glad to know that you'll find the sex scenes just as memorable as before, (yes, that hot tub scene and Luke's chaps are as sexy as ever!) and you're in for a lot more danger and intrigue.

BOOK THREE - Kade: Armed & Dangerous

After a bitter divorce, reporter Kelsey Nichols has erected a border around her heart too strong for any man to cross. She's not ready for a relationship of any kind with any man. But when Kelsey meets Kade she can think of nothing but being in his powerful arms and in his bed.

Intelligence Agent Kade Owen is hot on the trail of a notorious smuggler when the sensual blonde reporter comes into his life. Once he gets a hold of Kelsey, nothing will stop Kade from winning her heart.

Author's Note: Kade: Armed & Dangerous is a novel I wrote several years ago, and was published with a small e-publisher. This novel holds a special place in my heart as it was my first romance. The characters are special to me, as is the location in southeastern Arizona where I was raised. Even the ranch where a good portion of the novel takes place mirrors the ranch I grew up on. Kade was formerly titled Wild Borders. It is my hope that you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
