ESCAPE by J.L. DRAKE
Blackstone Series #2

||| SYNOPSIS |||

One decision will haunt Blackstone soldier Keith for a lifetime…

Keith left behind the feisty love of his life, Lexi Klein, ten years ago when he chose to become a soldier and leave for Iraq, but after a tragedy struck Lexi’s family and Keith couldn’t come home, she felt abandoned. When Keith finally managed to make it back to Boston, Lexi had completely withdrawn from everyone, including him. She decides to end their relationship and move on. 

Lexi has always owned Keith’s heart. He just didn’t know how much…

Keith returns to Boston years later for a wedding and finds out Lexi is dating the leader of the infamous Almas Perdidas Gang. Lexi is in over her head, and Keith will stop at nothing to keep her safe. Having never recovered from her broken heart, Lexi wants no part of his grand savior routine. She made her choice, and she has her own reasons to stick to her guns about it. 

Keith fights to regain Lexi’s trust, but old wounds are slow to heal…

After Lexi is beaten for not following gang rules, Keith decides to take her on a trip to convince her once and for all to let him back in. But Lexi is holding on to one last secret, and it will change everything. Happiness comes at a price, and once the front Lexi put up comes crashing down, that price will be paid in blood. 

Keith must make a decision. Does his loyalty lie with the military? Or with the woman he loves? Or has too much time and history been lost for them to make one…final…

Escape.

cover reveal: HONOR by J.L. Drake + Excerpt


HONOR by J.L. Drake

Series: Blackstone Series # 1
Genre: A Military Romantic Suspense

- SYNOPSIS -

Bullets fly during a dangerous mission, and Major Mark Lopez is critically injured… 

A Blackstone soldier, Mark is transferred to the North Dakota hospital with the security clearance to treat members of the elite covert team. The pretty new nurse assigned to his case knows her stuff, but Mark soon discovers she knows more than just how to save lives. Mia Harper knows the Blackstone Code. 

Mia is a bit of gypsy and doesn’t engage much with people—but there’s something about her mysterious new patient… 

After Mark recovers from surgery, he is discharged from the hospital with orders to rest. Not that he does. Instead he rushes to México for the team’s next assignment. But when he returns to the hospital again and again with minor—and not so minor—injuries, Mia suspects he’s only coming to see her. Romance ignites, and because Mia signed a non-disclosure agreement at the hospital, Mark is able to open up more with Mia than any other woman. 

Some debts demand payment in either cash or blood… 

When someone from Mark’s past comes to him for help, old secrets start to resurface, and more blood is shed. Worlds collide and lies are exposed in an all-or-nothing underground poker game. 

Mark must put his life on the line to keep Mia safe…and to finally learn the answer to the question that’s haunted him his whole life. 

What really happened that night twenty-five years ago?

*** UNEDITED AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE ***

My head hurt, my side hurt and this goddamn place wouldn’t give me any food.
The sheets need to be burned, the walls are insanely bright, and they need some fucking food! I can’t wait until they deliver my Jell-O? Really Jell-O? That shouldn’t ever be considered food. They bring it in and they take it back out. Get the fucking point! I hate Jell-O!
“What-up sunshine?” Cole smirked from the door way, and by the look of it he had been watching me.
“Go away.”
“Still milking it?”
“Screw off.”
“Aw, someone seems a little pissy, what they not feeding you?” My face flinched but he saw it. His hand flew to his chest, “ah brother, I wish you were there last night Abby made one huge rib eye, with this sauce that was—.”
“You’re dead to me.”
He laughed as he jumped forward moving out of the way for…there she was.
“Hey guys,” she beamed as she headed for my IV. “Now, you look much better,” she gave me a wink.
Cole shot me a look, as he checked her out.
“Savannah,” I mouth back getting a middle finger.
She flipped opened my chart before she asked, “how are you, Colonel?” 
“Quite well, thanks,” he glanced at me, “Mia.”
Really asshole, first name basis?
“Good,” she looked at him, as I flipped him the finger back, “glad to hear it.”
Cole’s phone went off, he excused himself from the room.
Yes, leave.
Mia took a moment to finish the paperwork as I watched her swipe her long bangs out of her line of sight.
“Deep green.” My voice was gruff.
She looked up, “pardon?”
“The color of your eyes, they’re deep green.”
The corners of her eyes crinkled as her cheeks pinked up turning them a few shades darker.
“Good,” there was a lightness to her voice. She slid the chart into the sleeve on the end of the bed. “What day is today?”
“Wednesday.”
“What’s your name Major?”
 “Major Mark Lopez, with the United States Army.”
“Good.” She went to move.
“My turn.” I stated. “What’s your name?”
“Huh,” she chuckled as she crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. “Mia Harper, I’m a nurse for North Dakota Hospital.”

DARKNESS FOLLOWS by JL DRAKE


★★★ OUT NOW! ★★★
 DARKNESS FOLLOWS by JL DRAKE is available for purchase!!
★Available for #FREE with #KindleUnlimited!★

- SYNOPSIS -

Emily McPhee is in the clutches of a monster… 

Despite the protection of her boyfriend Seth Connors and his colleagues with the Orange Police Department, Emily is imprisoned in a basement by her psychopathic stalker Jimmy Lasko. His bizarre behavior adds to her terror, and a video link forces Seth to witness her captivity, leaving him feeling helpless as he, the OPD, and the FBI search for her. 

Freedom isn’t free, and safety is just an illusion… 

Though Emily escapes the basement, the threat is far from eliminated. In fact, things she learned while being held by Lasko lead her to believe he isn’t working alone. Lasko is still out there, determined to get her back, and crazier than ever. If he does have a partner, Emily has no idea where the threat might lie or who she can trust. 

It’s impossible to live a normal life when family ties become tangled. 

Emily is deeply hurt when Seth is reminded that their relationship might endanger her further and he pulls away again. She’s even more frustrated when her globe-trotting mother returns and is charming to everybody…except her own daughter. 

When Emily meets Seth’s family, she loves his mom and little sister, isn’t sure what to make of his flirtatious brother—who is also a cop—and finds herself very uneasy around his father, who is a powerful attorney. 

Sometimes things seem very clear…until you look more closely.

DARKNESS FALLS by J.L. DRAKE

Series: Darkness Series #3
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Publisher: Limitless Publishing
Release Date: October 13, 2015

- SYNOPSIS -

More than a year after her ordeal, Emily McPhee finally feels safe…

Emily’s psychological scars are healing. Things are great between her and OPD Officer Seth Connors, and her biggest problem is the X-rated Halloween decorations her best friend Pete has placed all around her house. 

If only it would stay that way…

Seth senses something isn’t right, but he doesn’t know where the danger is coming from…or why. He’s sure Emily’s neighbor, Travis McKay, is hiding something, and the man pays way too much attention to Emily. 

To make things even more complicated, a new female officer appears to have her sights set on Seth, and fellow officer Alexander Avery has some sort of connection to a mysterious brothel employee. Seth has a feeling all these odd things are somehow connected—but he knows he’s missing a huge piece of the puzzle.

Pull at a thread and everything unravels.

Emily’s mother shows up with a surprise and a dirty plan to force her to sell the family home…and Seth’s father is proven to be the deceitful monster he always believed him to be. Lasko’s tainted past and twisted family ties turn out to be more complex than they ever imagined.

Every lie has a consequence, and Seth and Emily need the truth. 

In order to escape with their lives and their love intact, they must answer one critical question…

Who is the real target in this deadly game?
