As a former U.S.A.F. Pararescueman, Jeremy O’Brien is used to following orders, no questions asked. So, when Micah, his boss at Hamilton Security, asks him to take on a special case, he readily accepts. Micah’s instructions are simple, find the man in the picture and bring him back to Chicago.
Seven years ago, Zane Wilkinson left the hospital against doctor’s orders, only to suffer a final, devastating blow that left him with no choice but to leave the only place he’d called home. Feeling heartbroken and empty, Zane moved from town to town just trying to survive, while never letting anyone get too close.
In a chance encounter, Jeremy finds himself crossing paths with a man who fits Zane’s description. His instincts tell him that he’s on to something, but Micah warns him that he needs to be absolutely sure. Jeremy sets a plan in motion that will allow him to get closer to the man he believes to be Zane. However, the closer he gets, the more he likes the man and begins to question why he was sent to find him.
Will Jeremy be able to follow through with his orders without becoming too attached? Or will he realize that in his search for Zane, he’s found so much more than he bargained for?
The Souls of Chicago series gets two new spinoff series.
The Souls of Chicago series wrapped up at the end of 2017 with Ever-Greene: A Christmas Novella. However, there were still a few characters whose stories needed to be told. These were men who started out as secondary characters, but as I introduced them in the stories, they began speaking to me, louder and louder, insisting that they needed a turn of their own. So, I decided to let them have their say in two new spinoff series.
The first spinoff is the Hamilton’s Heroes series which is based around the men who work for Micah at Hamilton Security. These men all served in various branches of the military, specifically special ops. The first book in the series, FOUND, tells the story of ex USAF pararescueman, Jeremy O’Brien, who has been hired to find Zane Wilkinson, brother to Isaac Wilkinson from Uniting the Souls. In FOUND, we are introduced to several of the men Jeremy works with, including his best friend, Brandon, and another colleague, Nolan, who will each get stories of their own.
The second spinoff, which is still unnamed, will be about Akio’s three friends we met in Constructing the Soul. Garrett, who took off nursing a broken heart at the end of that book. In this series, we will find out where he went and if he was ever able to find his HEA. We’ll also learn the stories of Akio’s other two friends, Travis and Jasper.
I’m really excited about both of these new series. It will be fun to step away from Chicago a bit and explore new places and new characters. Although, some of our favorites from the Souls will still pop in from time to time. I’m also looking forward, from a creative standpoint, to being able to go back and forth between the two series. This will allow me to write the stories as the characters speak to me instead of having to focus on the next characters on the list, if that makes sense.
Writing the Souls of Chicago series was an amazing, epic and wondrous experience for me. It brought many new friends into my life and gave me a place to express myself freely. I’d like to thank all of you who took that journey with me and I hope you enjoy all the stories still to come. To new readers, I hope you’ll take the time to read the Souls series, however, it is not necessary to be able to enjoy the spinoffs.
He pulled up to the window and I watched him as he lifted his hips and dug his wallet out of his back pocket. The move shouldn’t have been sexy, but it planted images in my head of those hips rising up to meet mine and I had to swallow back a groan as I turned and looked out my own window. The guy was sexy as fuck, there was no denying that, but I could barely get him to look me in the eye or talk to me. If he knew the things I’d been thinking about him, I’d scare him away for sure.- Jeremy
I am married to my high school sweetheart who let’s face it, is a saint for putting up with me all of these years. Together we have been blessed with the chance to raise two amazing human beings and so far, we haven’t screwed it up; I’ll let you know for sure later. I love watching movies, cooking, going to the beach and spending time with my family and best friends. I am an obsessive reader who is a complete sucker for a good love story but loves to feel a broad range of emotions throughout a book. I think real life is hard enough and so my books offer twists and turns, but always with a happy ending.
