I’ve always enjoyed books with a theme of romantic reunions and second chances. Mix that with a little suspense and I’m in book nirvana! That’s one of the reasons why I created the Reunited Series a few years ago. The series follows the lives of men bitten by the love bug who went on to capture the hearts of some unsuspecting women. This last couple in Operation Midnight - Cameron (Wiz) and Olivia Miller, are no different.
In love since their teens, Wiz and Olivia’s relationship has endured challenges that no couple should have to experience, but through it all, they’ve survived…until now. Now, there are moments when they’re not sure if they really know each other. It doesn’t help that Olivia has requested something from Wiz that he can’t…and won’t give her. Olivia is slow to understand his resistance.
But let me ask you. What would happen if someone you loved lured you to a drug house and then left you there for dead? If you lived to tell about it, could you forgive that person? Would you forgive them?
Wiz and Olivia are faced with that situation. They are on opposite sides of the fence when it comes to forgive and forget. And a past that they thought was buried for good comes back to haunt them, putting them at odds. Though true love should be able to stand the test of time, will that be the case for Wiz and Olivia?
Below is a little peek at Operation Midnight.
Blurb ~
No bad deed goes unpunished…
Former Navy SEAL turned private investigator, Cameron “Wiz” Miller, has loved only one woman, his ex-wife, Olivia. She’s beautiful, talented and the sweetest person he knows. With plans to remarry her, there is nothing she could ask of him that he wouldn’t do except … one thing.
Olivia has loved Wiz since high school. He is her hero. Her protector. She understands his hesitation to search for the woman who left her for dead. Forgiveness has been a long time coming, but Olivia has made peace with what happened. Wiz hasn't. For him, forgiveness is not an option.
But the sins of the past have come back to haunt Wiz, placing Olivia in danger. He must tap into his military training and every alliance he has formed over the years to save her. But is it too late? Will he and Olivia ever get that happily-ever-after?
Excerpt
~
Wiz paced the length of the small, musty cellar, his pulse pounding in his ears. He wished the steady drumming would drown out the anger seeping into his soul. Wound tighter than a man staring down the barrel of a semi-automatic gun, he took a few cleansing breaths to release the anxiety roaring through his veins. It wasn’t working. Nothing was working.
He kept moving. Except for his combat boots stomping against the dusty concrete floor and the low hum of a nearby furnace, the space was quiet. Gagged and bound, flanked by his two best friends, the woman who had slithered into his life and almost destroyed everything he held dear, sat glaring at him. She wiggled in the hard wooden chair trying to free herself to no avail. Her eyes, cold and unyielding followed his every move, making him hate her that much more.
He stopped and stood before her, feeling nothing but disgust. Red, glassy eyes and the slight shakes confirmed she was high. Hell, considering her condition, she wouldn’t even feel the torture he intended to inflict on her, but it would help him. It would help him try to piece his life back together. It would help him feel less guilt for not being on American soil to protect his wife. It would help him get retribution for the life this bitch had taken.
A life for a life.
“Wiz, think about what you’re planning to do here,” his friend Quinn said, his gloved hand propped against the closed door and the low rumble of his voice cutting through Wiz’s thoughts. “Let me handle this. I can take care of everything and you can head back to the hospital. Your wife needs you. Besides, you have too much to lose.”
“I’ve already lost almost everything and thanks to this woman, Olivia is fighting for her life.”

Thanks for participating in Sharon's OPERATION MIDNIGHT blog tour, MJ!!!
Absolutely my pleasure!
Welcome back, Sharon! Girl, someday you've got to tell me how you do it? How many releases do you usually have a year?
LOL! I love being your co-host, MJ!!! I so appreciate you letting me come back to hang out with you time and time again! As for how I do it...I promise you, sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going! Lol! But I enjoy what I do and I have to keep putting out books so that I can get all of these voices out of my head - characters begging to have their story's told! :)
As for the number of releases - this year I wrote five books, but four have been released. I now write full time. So I treat this like my job working 8-10 hours a day. :)
Thanks again for having me! I so appreciate you!
Whew! Edge of your seat scene. Best of luck--though I doubt you'll need luck--with such intensity.
I know! I love it! Such a clever plot! Thanks for stopping in to hang with us today!
Always my pleasure, Sharon! I look forward to having the time to read your books, as I always love your blurbs and excerpts! I don't know why people can't just leave me alone in my make-believe worlds and just let me read and write! Oh, yeah...that income thing. Money is so overrated!
Sorry I'm late. Oh my gosh, what an exciting scene and what a HUGE conflict. Sounds like a fabulous read.
Sounds really intriguing!
Good luck and God's blessings
