Synopsis:
Mercenary.
Dominant.
Sine Pari.
The first rule of Delta Force was don’t talk about Delta Force.
The second rule I wasn’t at liberty to discuss.
Serving with the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment–Delta was an honor. CAG was my home, and I protected my brothers…. Until I didn’t.
Staring at the terrorist through my scope, I had her in my sights.
Black hair, hazel eyes, bruises all over her face.
I knew what I had to do.
But I didn’t do it.
I broke the second rule.

My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
