Callahan Security, #1
Callahan Security is on the brink of disaster. Mitch Callahan pushed his brothers to expand the family business into private security, and their first major client is a complete pain in the ass. It’s no wonder the man has a target on his back, but nothing could prepare Mitch for how seductive his adversary is.
Love hurts. No one knows that better than Alexandra Buchannan, so she uses her talents as a thief to equalize the scales of romantic justice. Your ex still has your favorite painting? Not for long. Alex’s latest job is her biggest challenge yet. Her target just hired a new security company, and the team leader is as smart as he is sexy.
Mitch knows he’s jeopardizing not only this job but the future of Callahan Security. If only he didn’t find Alex so damn irresistible. Soon their game of cat and mouse explodes into a million pieces. Unbeknownst to them, there’s another player in the game, and his intentions are far deadlier.
READ A LITTLE, BUY THE BOOK
I grew up in a house filled with books and readers. Some of my fondest memories are of reading in the same room with my mother and sisters, arguing about whose turn it was to make tea. No one wanted to put their book down!
I was introduced to romance because of my mom’s habit of leaving books all over the house. One day I picked one up. I still remember the cover. It was a Harlequin by Janet Daily. Little did I know at the time that it would set the stage for my future. I went on to discover mystery novels. Agatha Christie was my favorite. And then suspense with Wilber Smith and Ian Fleming.
I loved the thought of combining my favorite genres, and during high school, I attempted to write my first romantic suspense novel. I wrote the first four chapters and then exams happened and that was the end of that. I desperately hope that book died a quiet death somewhere in a computer recycling facility.
A few years later, (okay, quite a few) after two degrees, a husband and two kids, I attended a workshop in Tuscany that lit that spark for writing again. I have been pounding the keyboard ever since here in New Jersey, where I live with my children—who are thrilled with my writing as it means they get to eat more pizza—and my very supportive husband.

THE ROMANCE INTERVIEW
ANGI: What’s your favorite Valentine gift or have you received it yet?
LORI: That’s a hard one. Hmmm. I would say my absolute favorite was a Valentine’s Day poem my daughter wrote for me when she was in pre-K. She dictated it to her teacher and then the teacher typed it out and laminated it for me. It’s on my wall in my office. I know it’s not romantic but it’s definitely my favorite. My husband also gets a shout out because he buys me flowers every year and I love it!
ANGI: What’s your favorite Valentine flower?
LORI: Peonies are my favorite flower. I love getting those but I just love receiving any type of flowers.
ANGI: What’s your favorite Valentine/Love saying?
LORI: I don’t have a favorite Valentine’s Day saying but we do say “I love you,” a lot in my house. I always want the people I love to know how I feel about them.
ANGI: Which Valentine film can you watch over and over without falling asleep?
LORI: Okay so it’s not a Valentine’s Day specific movie but I adore the movie Leap Year. It makes me smile every time I watch it. It also makes me want to go to Ireland. Maybe someday.
ANGI: What’s your favorite Valentine candy you’d share with friends?
LORI: My favorite candy has to be chocolate but I’m not so sure I’d be sharing it with friends. They’d have to be exceptionally good friends. I used to love Sweet Hearts when I was a kid. You know the ones with the saying on them? I still have a soft spot for those.
ANGI: What is your favorite Valentine tradition?
LORI: I guess my favorite Valentine’s Day tradition is receiving flowers and chocolates from my husband. My daughter gets some as well so we sit down together and trade the chocolates so we each get the ones we like best.

Callahan Security #2
Logan Callahan knows he’s out of his depth. As CEO of Callahan Security, he thrives on balance sheets and bottom lines. But there’s a huge different between running a company and running for your life. Unfortunately he doesn’t have a choice. The woman he came to the Bahamas to investigate was kidnapped and he was taken right along with her. He knew the sexy lady lawyer was trouble. He just had no idea how much.
Taken again. Lacy Carmichael was not new to the Kidnap and Ransom game but usually she managed to talk or fight her way out of it. After all, when your father was one of the largest arms dealers in the world danger comes with the territory. Since Logan was grabbed with her, she’ll have to reveal all her secrets in order to save their asses.
Logan is hesitant to trust Lacy but a power grab by her father’s enemies removes his choice. If only she wasn’t so damned smart and sexy, staying neutral would be easier. Searching for a way out of the mess, and fighting their mutual attraction to each other, will take all of Logan’s and Lacy’s skills. Unfortunately, deception and betrayal by those they trust the most has changed the rules of the game, and they find themselves battling for their lives and their love.
