Book Description:
Readers’ Favorite Suspense Romance
Kate Connelly should be careful what she wishes for.
Just seventeen, she already feels like she’s suffocating. Since
her mother’s death, her father’s basically checked out, so she’s stuck
raising her brothers by herself out in the New Mexico scrub. All Kate wants
is a little distraction from the same-ole, same-ole that is her life.
When
two mysterious guys show up at the diner where she works, she thinks her
wish has come true, until they start giving her a hard time. Like her life
isn’t hard enough. Something about them niggles her, but she brushes it off.
She’s never going to see them again anyway . . . right?
Then they
appear in an alley one night to either rescue or kidnap her (she’s still not
sure which) before disappearing like figments of her imagination.
Kate
decides to put the bizarre encounters out of her mind. She has bigger
problems to worry about: like that elite military academy that’s been
pursuing her gifted little brother. When one of their cadets shows up at her
high school, he creates instant pandemonium. And just happens to be one of
those mysterious guys. Coincidence? Mama said there’s no such thing. And to
always trust her instinct. But that might be kind of hard, because every
time she’s around Cadet Peter Davenport, her gut starts flip-flopping on
her. And her heart.
Can Kate keep it together long enough to stop
Cadet Davenport’s mission? She’s about to find out. And—once again—how
neatly life can be split into before and after.

Book Description:
Another Readers' Favorite 5-STAR Suspense Romance. Begin the journey
today.
Kate’s destiny has been determined for her.
Hidden out in the country for most her life, Kate Connelly
suddenly wakes up, handcuffed to a hospital bed, in the psyche ward of The
Academy. Her crime? Being “gifted.” And it’s Officer “Ranger” Nealson’s job to
make her adhere to The Academy’s agenda for her. Even though he’s the one who
drugged and dragged her in. Kate’s hate for Ranger, and his academy, is at an
all-time high. Ranger has his work cut out for him . . . and Kate does too.
She has to fight through the rigors of the Cadet-in-Training program, and
quickly. If not, she’ll lose the one privilege she’s been given at The
Academy—access to her precious little brother.
And until she
graduates from the CIT program, Officer Nealson is banned from Missions. When
General Weston finally offers a juicy recon to Ranger, he wants to jump at the
chance to prove himself again. After all, catching bad guys is his thing.
Almost all pros for doing it. One con—Cadet Connelly has to ride along.
The
hardened officer finds he’s slowly been growing a soft spot for his mentee.
But he’s determined not to end up like his father, and former Elite Cadet Pete
Davenport—throwing away their career for a girl (not even a woman). And Kate
has lingering feelings for Pete, who risked his life to warn her, and
conflicting feelings for Ranger. She has to set both aside to focus on
completing her first mission.
When the dust settles, old alliances
are broken and new ones are formed. But one thing remains the same: Kate’s
destiny has been determined for her by The Academy. Ready or not . . . she’s
set for Missions. Will one of the former elite cadets step in to help change
her fate, or will she be left to fight the Academy’s agenda alone?

Guest Post
“A Calling”
Today I want to attempt to answer one of my
most asked questions: How did you come up with the story? I usually either
awkwardly laugh or am completely rendered speechless (pretty embarrassing for
someone who makes a living stringing sentences together) when I get asked this.
It’s just so hard to answer. One of the reasons is because it almost seems like
magic, or kismet, and maybe not even an overreach to call it my “calling.”
Whatever you want to label it, I’m actually just compelled to write it.
Literally. Sometimes it feels like I won't be able to breathe normally until
the whole story is done.
For many years, no matter where I was—whether
on the lake for the weekend, out at a party with friends, or cutting laminated
pictures with the other PTA moms—I would always get an overpowering feeling
that I should be doing something else. And it didn’t take me long to figure out
what it was, that “something else” I should be doing. After all, I’m drawn to
bookstores like a toddler to rainbow-sprinkled cupcakes. I’ve been a
book-a-week addict since I was old enough to read. And I did major in English
in college, just so I could read, Read, READ! But I always brushed my author
aspirations aside as a pie-in-the-sky notion, like when you’re a kid and you
want to grow up and be a ______ star. (Fill in the blank with: movie, sport,
rock, and you can now add social media to the list.) But that niggling voice
inside me just kept getting louder and louder, refusing to be ignored. It got
so bad I became depressed, thinking there was something wrong with me, or
worse—that I was ungrateful for the wonderful life God blessed me with. Here I
was a (semi;-) happily married busy mom of two beautiful, rambunctious boys
(Boy-mom shout-out!), and I was fairly miserable. Because I wasn’t doing what I
was meant to do.
Timing really is everything, and the pieces
just came together at once. We were finally financially stable enough that I
could pursue my dream, the premise for the book just popped into my brain while
I was polishing off my kids’ breakfasts one morning, and my youngest son was beginning
preschool. So that very first day of school, instead of marching off with the
other moms to Starbucks to cry into our skinny mocha lattes, I marched instead
to the beat that had been thrumming inside me for years—home to my home-brew
and brand-new laptop. After a few months of banging out the story—Voila!—The
Academy Saga was born. It instantly earned a Readers’ Favorite seal of approval
and an Amazon Bestseller. But the best part: I was finally doing what I was meant
to do.
Meet the Author:
CJ Daly grew up on the scrabbly plains of Eastern New Mexico. When she was
supposed to be helping her six siblings with chores on the family ranch, she
was really sneaking behind dusty haystacks to read. And dreaming about
becoming a writer.
After graduating high school, CJ moved to Big
D, where she quickly put herself through college while trying to rid herself
of her country accent. She had better luck with college, graduating magna
cum laude with a degree in English literature. After teaching a few years
and pausing to have back-to-back boys, she began writing in earnest.
A
few years later, "The Academy Saga" was born. It instantly earned a Readers'
Favorite 5-STAR seal of approval and became an Amazon best seller.

ReplyDeletePlease try not to spam posts with the same comments over and over again. Authors like seeing thoughtful comments about their books, not the same old, "I like the cover" or "sounds good" comments. While that is nice, putting some real thought and effort in is appreciated. Thank you.
