Susan Stoker | Becoming a Mountain Mercenary

In my romance series, the Mountain Mercenaries are a group of six former special forces men who were brought together by they mysterious, “Rex.” They were chosen because of their expertise and their disenchantment with always having to do things “by the book.” There is an underlying reason why Rex formed the group, but that story line is still evolving.:)

Their mission is to fight for abused women and children who can’t fight for themselves. They work somewhat “under the radar” to rescue women who have been kidnapped and to keep them safe from abusers.

Allye, in the first book, Defending Allye , mistakenly believes that they are a group of men gone “rogue” as that is typically what a mercenary is. But in the Mountain Mercenaries case they are more like vigilantes.They do what they can to right a wrong done to a woman or child. They work within the law as much as possible, and Rex has connections with law enforcement all over the country, and even outside it. But when push comes to shove, if they have to sneak in and out of a foreign country to rescue someone, they will. It’s all about bringing loved ones home to their families.

The six men come to the group with specialized skills they learned in the respective branches of the military…Navy SEALs, Army Delta Force, British SAS, even the Coast Guard. Each member has their specialty, but they’re all more than capable of doing whatever it takes to get the job done.

In  Defending Chloe, book 2, Ronan “Ro” is minding his own business at his out of the way house and mechanic garage in Northern Colorado Springs when a case literally comes to this door. Chloe is sporting some nasty bruises and is acting exactly like the abused women Ro has chosen to spend his life protecting.

Of course, he can’t forget about her after she leaves and that leads the Mountain Mercenaries to try to save someone right in their own city. In the process they learn that sometimes family isn’t the loving, safe place it should be. Chloe has to learn to trust Ro and his friends if she wants to escape the hell she’s been living in.

Ro is a great Hero because he won’t take “I’m fine” for an answer when it’s obvious Chloe isn’t fine. Of course he expects her to welcome him with open arms and let him solve all her problems, but Chloe isn’t sure anyone can help her. But Ro is stubborn, and determined, and ultimately completely and utterly enchanted with how strong and tough Chloe is.

I can’t wait for everyone to get to know Ro and Chloe, and get more insight to the Mountain Mercenaries and their mission!

DEFENDING CHLOE by Susan Stoker

Mountain Mercenaries #2

Love is the best defense in New York Times bestselling author Susan Stoker’s explosive Mountain Mercenaries novel.

Gorgeous women don’t just
stumble onto Ronan Cross’s remote property. But this
one—vulnerable, victimized, and needing the kind of help
only Ronan can offer—tells a story that makes his blood boil
almost as hot as his need to protect her.

Since her
father’s death, Chloe Harris has become a prisoner. Her own
brother, a flesh peddler and low-level player in the Denver
Mafia, is forcing her to sell her body for an endgame Chloe
never saw coming: control over a vast fortune. Her only way
out is to run—straight into the arms of the one hard-bodied
man she can trust.

Defending Chloe could rain punishment down on the Mountain Mercenaries. Her brother has Mob connections and the local police in his pocket. But Ronan still has an edge—the unshakable loyalty of his deadly teammates. As well as an unquenchable thirst for retribution…and Chloe.
