    They thought it was over. They were wrong.... 
Bass and Julie should have been on their way to happily ever after. The Vikings had beaten back the Guzman cartel. Everything could finally return to normal. 
That didn’t happen. 
Because the FBI showed up and turned their whole world upside down. 
Bass’ sister was murdered, and she left behind a gift—a set of them, actually—that will not only change everything about his life with Julie, but could also get them both killed. 
Now, the Texas Syndicate is out for blood, new threats are coming at the MC every day, and time’s running out. The road ahead won’t be easy. 
But Bass isn’t going to let his club—or the love of his life—go down without a fight.... 
Be forewarned: These books contain violence and descriptions of illicit activities. If you enjoy sexy antiheroes, fast-paced and action-packed storylines, and steamy love scenes, these are the books for you! There are guaranteed happily ever afters for the characters, but the underlying storyline does continue from book to book, ending in cliff-hangers. It is recommended you begin listening with book one, Heart of Steel. All tropes and other content can be found at the author's website.

    Only one world in the cluster remains in enemy hands.
 
Admiral Jack Romanoff and his crew have one remaining nut to crack before they can turn their attention to the people that overthrew the Confederation. The Vesuvius system has become a fortress, so it won’t be an easy fight, but it is one they cannot lose and survive.
 
When force alone won’t do the trick, add guile.
 
Since brute force won’t work, Jack must turn to guile to exploit the enemy’s weaknesses. Only then can he achieve victory without a tremendous loss of human life. And that’s before an unexpected complication threatens to undo everything they’ve accomplished and plunge the cluster back into brutal war with an enemy determined to exterminate or enslave them.
 
Confronted by stronger enemies, Jack has to turn their strength against them. Somehow.
