Elite Metal – Book One in the Elite Warriors Series
For decades the US Marines funded a top-secret unit known as
Elite Recon. A deadly group of men and women sent to infiltrate dozens of countries
completely undetected. Mission objectives so extreme casualties were not only
probable, but expected.
The current batch of operatives had returned from hundreds
of assignments unscathed…until one mission went horribly wrong. Several men
lost their lives and the group disbanded. The remaining leathernecks were scattered
in the wind with new identities.They were told to blend in. Be normal.Or face
being forever silencedjust like their fallen brothers.
Now, two years later, each living member of the group is kidnapped
and given a chance to make things right. But this time they’re no longer under
the thumb of Uncle Sam. A mysterious private backer who knows about their past
has brought them back together. No longer are they forced to turn a blind eye
to the lostand forsaken.
A new life. A new future…Elite Metal.

Forged in Silver
By Roxie Rivera
Rebel. Nomad. Troublemaker.
After surviving the double-cross during Operation Phoenix, Former
Elite Recon Marine Silver embraces the underworld and builds a new life as one
of the world's most renowned thieves. Jewels, paintings,
corporate espionage--there's no job he won't take for the right
price.
Forged in Silver EXCERPT
“Who the hell are you?” The
gruffly barked question ricocheted off the walls of the room where they were
holding him. Judging by the hollow sound, he was in a metal building. A
warehouse? A factory?
“There’s no need to get
huffy, Silver. You should remember that I’m the only thing standing between you
and a dozen INTERPOL agents champing at the bit to slap their cuffs on your
wrists.”
There was the slightest hint
of an Irish accent in her posh voice when she said champing. He had a good ear for accents, especially after
disappearing in Europe and learning to blend in, so he picked up on that
telltale lilt in an instant. Never one to let a golden opportunity to be a
smartass pass him up, he smirked. “Sugar, you can slap your cuffs on my wrists
all night long.”
“Goodness, Steele and Chrome
were right about you.”
At the mention of his former
Elite Recon teammates, Silver’s smirk flattened into a sour grimace. “Who the
hell are you?” he asked again. “How do you know about Chrome and Steele?”
“I’m not authorized to hand
out that information until you have been fully apprised of and agree to the
stipulations of my employer. Now, you can sit still, be quiet and listen, or
I’m walking out that door and dialing INTERPOL. It’s your choice.”
Goddamn but that haughty
voice of hers made his dick throb. He hated himself for getting hot and
bothered by Miss Manners, but his reaction to her was undeniable. “Fine,” he
said through gritted teeth. “I’m listening.”
“In the last five months
alone, you have stolen more than twenty-five million dollars’ worth of high-end
jewelry, antiques and art. You’ve aided and abetted half a dozen families in
perpetrating major insurance fraud. You have been a very, very naughty boy, Silver.”
“Honey, you are welcome to
spank me anytime.” God, how he wished he could see her face! He had never met a
woman immune to his charms. Was she biting her lip and trying not to smile? Was
she pursing her lips and pretending to be annoyed?
“My employer has chosen to
give you a second chance, Silver.” She ignored his come-on and cut right to the
chase. “Operation Phoenix decimated Elite Recon, but Elite Metal has risen from
its ashes. We’re a small operation, privately funded, and we hand pick our
missions to help people who need us the most.”
“Baby, this isn’t Hollywood,
and I’m not interested in your A-Team
fantasies,” he bit out with irritation.
“For the last twenty-one
weeks, we’ve had men following your every move. You’ve been shadowed from one
end of Europe to the next. We plucked you from a train in Budapest and brought
you here, all the way to Texas, without detection. With one peek at your
dossier, I can tell you what meal you had seven weeks ago, the color of the
wallpaper in your bedroom in that Tirana bolthole you love so much and how
often you change your underwear.”
“My, my, my,” he drawled,
“you seem to have a certain pre-occupation with my bedroom and boxers.”
“This is all a joke to you
isn’t it?” Disappointment filled her voice. “Maybe Chrome and Steele were
right. Maybe you aren’t a good fit for our team—”
“Now hold on a good
goddamned minute—”
“No,” she said firmly. “I
can see that this was a waste of my time. Good luck with your INTERPOL
interrogators. Of course, we both know that once you hit the prison system, Red
Wolf will snatch you up and heaven only knows what he’ll do with you.”
“Damn it! Wait!” The mere
mention of Red Wolf had him suddenly hungry for vengeance. “I’m not a team
player. That much is true.” He used brute strength to hop the chair forward a
few feet. “But I’ll learn to hold hands and share if that means I get a chance
to whip some terrorist ass. Those fuckers killed my friends. They ruined the
lives of my teammates. They need to pay.”
Breathing hard, he waited
for her to say something. When she didn’t speak, he began to worry that he
might have fucked up yet another opportunity. The thirty year journey of his
life was littered with potholes and craters from the all the bridges he had
blown up and the friendships he had obliterated.
“Silver,” she spoke gently
and almost motherly, “you need to understand that if you come onboard this
team, you have to play by our rules. There is no wiggle room here. You either
do as you are told and when you are told—or we hand you over to INTERPOL.”
“I won’t live with the
threat of INTERPOL over my head for the rest of my life. I’ll play by your
rules, but you’ve got to give me something return. You let me earn back the
trust of the team. Put me on probation if you have to—but don’t think for one
second that I’m going to let you shock collar me for the rest of my life.”
“Fair enough,” she agreed.
“If you complete a small number of trial jobs, we’ll slowly let out your leash.
The assignments we’ve chosen will make the best use of your rather unique skill
set.”
He grinned. “Baby, I’d love
to show you my rather unique skill set. How about tonight? You. Me. A hotel
suite. I’ll even be a gentleman and let you tie me up first.”
A short burst of laughter
escaped Miss Manners. Judging by the quick way she shut it down, he had a feeling
she was utterly mortified that she had let her Ice Queen demeanor slip.
“Oh, Silver,” she said with
a heavy sigh, “I was warned you might try to sweet talk me.”
“Is it working?”
“Not yet.”
“Is that a dare, Irish
Spring?”
The clack of high heels accompanied her long strides toward him. The
blindfold was unexpectedly ripped away. Recoiling under the bright lights
suddenly searing his eyes, he closed them and winced. When he finally worked up
the courage to open them, he was instantly seized by the pair of grass green
eyes staring down at him.
Holy shit.
Just like that, he was a
goner. Green eyes. Full lips. High cheekbones. Silky skin with the hint of a
tan. She had coiled her pale blonde hair into one of those swirly buns at the
back of her neck. His fingers just itched to pluck out those pins and comb
through the soft waves. What would it be like to have her pinned to a mattress,
his fingers tangled in that beautiful hair while he nipped at her creamy neck
and urged her toward an orgasm with dirty, filthy talk that would make her
cheeks turn pink?
Shifting in his too-tight
jeans, he gazed up at the prim beauty standing over him. “If this is a dream,
don’t wake me.”
