Nowhere To Hide
Delos Series
Lia Cassidy left the Army scarred
physically and emotionally after a vicious attack by two fellow
soldiers. She turns to helping others, working at a Delos Home School
Charity in Costa Rica that provides schooling for children. But when
the deadly drug lord, La Arana, attacks the school, Lia finds herself
on the run for her life. The only person she can trust is the ex-SEAL
sent to protect her.
Cav Jordan is strong, honorable and
gorgeous…and intrigued by Lia. He knows she has suffered pain in
her past, and he is determined to break through her barriers and earn
her trust. But as Cav slowly chips away at the walls Lia has built,
ghosts from her past threaten to destroy their fragile relationship.

Introducing
the heroine, Lia Cassidy
Lia
had sat on the bed, fighting tears of humiliation, knowing her body
disgusted men. The same nightmare of being attacked by two
assailants with knives, had jerked her awake once again.
At
least,
Lia thought, I
can be grateful for being alive.
Since
then, she’d
given up thinking in terms of relationships, surrendering to the
reality of a life alone, without love, and without a partnership.
She
instead shifted her focus to Delos charity, a place that welcomed her
hard work and her love of children. At least Lia could do some good
for them by giving them her love, care and attention. And those
little ones were like bright flowers, radiant under her care here in
Costa Rica.
She
smiled. The children were curious little things. The first time Lia
had stepped into the Home School Foundation building in La Fortuna,
she had tried to gird herself for the children's curiosity about her
scars. But unlike men, the children were simply curious and wanted to
touch them. Lia had seen their sympathy in their large, wide eyes as
she crouched down, allowing them to touch her scar, to feel it, to
see sadness come to their tiny faces that never lied about anything.
The children had long ago accepted her as she was, and adored her
because she was there for them. Her scars were never an issue; in
fact, these children had seen their own share of misfortune, and it
bonded them more closely with this American angel who was here to
teach, love, and support them.
Finally,
Lia fell into a light, restless sleep. She never slept deeply after a
nightmare, and knew she’d
wake up early, feeling ragged, tired and stressed out. But just the
act of getting a shower, clean clothes, washing her hair and getting
ready to go to the school that sat five hundred feet away from her
small home, made her heart sing.
Still,
her heart yearned for the right man to walk into her life. She had
just about accepted that the odds of that happening were so low,
there was no point thinking about it. After all, who would want a
carved-up woman with a jagged scar on one side of her face? No one..

Lindsay McKenna lives
her life as a risk taker, and it shines through the books she loves
to write: romance, adventure and suspense. She started writing at age
thirteen and continues to hone her writing skills to this day. She
sold her first romance novel in 1981. The rest is history.
Because she went into the military,
this experience became the backbone of her writing—she is credited
with writing the first military romance novel (Captive of Fate, 1983,
Silhouette Special Edition) and has created a thriving sub-genre
within the romance field! As a New York Times Best Selling author,
she has sold 23 million books and in 32 foreign languages in her
career thus far. Her many experiences in the U.S. Navy are backdrop
for her understanding of the military in general, and also her very
successful Morgan’s Mercenaries, which is an ongoing series in
Silhouette to this day! Forty-five books strong!
Lindsay has gone Indie in 2015 and
has created a new family saga on par with Morgan’s Mercenaries It
is known as the DELOS SERIES. There will be paperback and eBooks
created under Blue Turtle Publishing, her company for her fans.
Readers who love Morgan and his family are bound to fall in love with
the Culver family. Delos is romantic suspense, which Lindsay is well
known for. It took her five years to create and bring DELOS to her
readers. It was worth the wait, but we’ll let you decide that.
Lindsay loves to hear from her
readers and loves to know what they’d like to see her write next.
