Nightshade (Discarded Heroes Book 1)

A Rapid-Fire Rewrite!

This combat veteran is fighting a new battle--the homefront!

Former Navy SEAL Max Jacobs is one such hero, and now his war is for his family. Post-traumatic stress disorder, brought on from his times in battle, has ravaged his emotions. Rage explodes out of him with no warning and it’s destroying his marriage.

All his wife Sydney wants is the man she married back. But he’s lost, buried deep beneath his anger. Sydney files for separation and throws herself into her work as a journalist.

But when Sydney hunts down the soldiers behind a string of heroic interventions, she starts getting death threats. Finding the perfect ending for her story might get her perfectly killed. Max realizes what Sydney has entangled herself in and will stop at nothing to save her, but even he might not be able to rescue her from a world of intrigue and danger that she cannot imagine.


Nightshade kept me up all night! A tight plot, heartthrob heroes, and description so rich I could hear the jungle noise, feel the heat slide down my back. I’ll be clearing out a shelf to make room for Ronie’s books! ~-Susan May Warren, admitted Ronie Kendig fan and USA Today best-selling, RITA award-winning author of Wild Montana Skies

Valor, Action, Romance, Heart … Nightshade is the perfect blend of everything I like best in a story. ~John B. Olson, author of Powers and Fossil Hunter
