Blurb for THE SHADOW OF
MUDFLAP:
To us, first responders
are heroes. But for them, risking their lives is a normal, everyday thing.
Mudflap:
Born the baby of the
family, Mudflap has always had something to prove to emerge out of the shadows
of his older siblings. He spent eight years as a Special Ops elite sniper and
is now a firefighter. But at his heart, he’s just a normal West Texas good old
boy who loves his beer, women and football, until the Department of Defense
calls him up to say they need his skills again.
Shanae:
Shanae is a first
responder of a different sort. She’s a trauma nurse who works on a medical
evacuation helicopter team. But while she lives a life full of adrenaline every
day, it’s just a cover for her real life, where she hides in the shadows and is
secret agent, Shadowfox for the Lubbock Foxtrot Team (LiFT). She’s living the
kind of life that most people think exists only in movies and books.
Working for two
different branches of the government, Mudflap and Shanae are in a race against
time and the terrorists who threaten the very heart of West Texas life,
football. They’re working toward the same goal, but find themselves in a
confrontation against each other and the lies they’ve each had to hide behind.
Can love win out in the end or will the cost be each other and their very
lives?
First responders are
heroes every day, but this story tells the tale of when they become even more
and find love along the way. The key is for them to stay alive so that they can
complete their mission and just maybe live happily ever after.
On an
ordinary day, they save lives. On an extraordinary day, they save the country.

Excerpt from THE SHADOW OF MUDFLAP:
“Hey, there. You look good enough to
eat,” he growled. He glanced back at his Bronco. “Unfortunately, Derek is
waiting for us in the car so I can’t take a nibble.”
A frisson of awareness skated down her
spine. That tone in his voice…yummy.
“Thanks,” she said as she leaned up to
give him a quick kiss on the cheek.
“You know how to make a girl feel good.” She lingered for a moment right below his ear to whisper, “You look pretty damn good yourself. But it’s hot and we don’t want the poor thing to suffer from heat exhaustion. I’m confused though.” She glanced at him as they walked out toward his truck.
“Why would you bring your dog golfing? Are they even allowed on the course?”
“You know how to make a girl feel good.” She lingered for a moment right below his ear to whisper, “You look pretty damn good yourself. But it’s hot and we don’t want the poor thing to suffer from heat exhaustion. I’m confused though.” She glanced at him as they walked out toward his truck.
“Why would you bring your dog golfing? Are they even allowed on the course?”
He pulled her door open for her, but
stalled her entrance into the Bronco. “Dog? I don’t have a dog.”
She sat in the seat, but scowled at him
in confusion through the still open door. “Isn’t Derek your dog?”
Mudflap burst out laughing as he shut her
car door. But it was the outraged, “What the hell did he tell you to make you
think that?” coming from the backseat that told her she’d gotten something
wrong.
She turned slowly to him. He was a young,
clean cut, extremely good looking guy, who was not happy right now. He looked
like a model from a young, hip magazine ad; well, he would if he wasn’t
scowling.
Wincing, she offered her hand to him. “I
guess you’re Derek, huh?”
Mudflap got into the car and continued to
laugh at Derek’s expense. Derek shoved at his shoulder and muttered, “Asshole,”
before offering her his hand. “Yes, I’m Derek. It’s nice to meet you Shanae.”
His scowl quickly morphed into a flirty smile. “Already I can tell you’re too
good for this guy. I say we dump him on the back nine and you and I can make a
fun day of it without him.” He waggled his eyebrows at her.
Uh oh, this guy and that mischievous
smile was trouble. She couldn’t help the giggle that erupted. “Sorry about the
dog comment. I misunderstood.”
“Aw, sweetheart, no forgiveness is
necessary. I know who to blame.” He turned to glare again at Mudflap. “Besides,
gracing us with your beauty today more than makes up for it.”
Shanae couldn’t help the eye-roll. This
guy was digging it deep.
“Hey, now. No horning in on my girl.”
Mudflap frowned at Derek, but the corners of his mouth twitched with humor.
The two guys continued the back and forth
banter all the way to the golf course, renting their equipment, and meeting up
with their golf pro for the day, a very attractive redhead named Lisa. Shanae
clued in on the fact that Derek had a bit of a crush on her simply by the fact
that he continued to give both Shanae and Mudflap a hard time, but then got
stiff when it came to interacting with her. It was sweet, if not for the fact
that Lisa seemed completely oblivious to Derek.
Shanae would guess there was a pretty
good age difference between the two. Derek was young, definitely early
twenties, while Lisa was probably closer to thirty. Shanae doubted Lisa even
saw Derek as a possibility for a date. She watched the two of them as Lisa
corrected Derek’s form on the fourth hole. Lisa slid her hand down Derek’s arm
to adjust his grip and Shanae could see all his muscles tighten in response.
Mudflap slid in to stand behind her. His
hand wrapped around her waist felt entirely too right, so right she completely
forgot about Lisa and Derek. She could feel the heat coming off his body and
her pulse skittered.
But then Mudflap, who’d also been
watching the other two, whispered in her ear, “I think his shaft is too big for
that stroke.”
Of course, Shanae worked with guys all
the time so her gaze immediately landed on Derek’s crotch where his erection
pressed against his pants.
“Don’t,” she hissed at Mudflap. “Don’t give him a
hard time right now. Poor kid is infatuated and she isn’t even aware of him.”
Mudflap nuzzled her ear for a moment
before whispering, “Ask her for some help on the next hole and make her aware.
He’s a good guy. It would be nice if he could hook up with a woman who might
actually appreciate him.”
And right there, Shanae’s heart melted a
little bit more for this guy. Damn, sexy and sweet.
