Colton, along with his parents and four year old daughter, McKenna, live on his ranch with horses and a private pond in the DC area. The team members go under the radar and rescue those under the rule of dictators or guerilla armies that legitimate governments will not get involved with. Now he is a member of Nightshade, the elite team of former military men that General Olin Lambert put together. Colton was a Marine Special Operations Command Team member before he left the military. Loved it the whole way through - highly recommended.ĭIGITALIS, Book Two of the Discarded Heroes series is the story of Colton 'Cowboy' Neeley.

Great dialogue, believable plot that keeps you in the moment every step of the way, surprises that keep it just a little unpredictable, and did I mention the romance? a team of buddies that won't let each other down. Damaged hero whose tough exterior hides a heart of gold (especially shown in his interactions with his young daughter), strong heroine trapped in circumstances she can't help. I would rate this up there with Dee Henderson's O'Malley series, which is one of my favorites in inspirational romantic suspense. Ronie's third book (second in this series) is action-packed, fast-paced, and laced with romance throughout. Until the unthinkable happens and her worst fears come true. Even so, Piper finds herself falling for the enigmatic soldier. Ones that could cause death and destruction if they are revealed. Piper Blum is drawn to the quiet but larger-than-life cowboy, but she has her own secrets. When a buddy offers him a chance for a fresh start in a new elite group - Nightshade - including the time to heal that he needs, Colton accepts. Struggling with debilitating flashbacks, Colton Neeley knows he can't go on with his career in MARSOC - the Marine Special Operations Command/Team. Of course, I haven’t read the other books in this series yet. In other words, Colton Neeley is my new favorite hero.

As for me, I discovered that Digitalis is good for my heart. I did grow a bit frustrated with Colton’s love interest Piper, but after she dried her tears and tried trusting Colton, I decided she might be worthy of him. And I loved the stunning climax in Israel. This unputdownable page-turner has just about the right amount of everything: action, romance, humor, and espionage. Instead, he finds himself hopping from special ops mission to special ops mission until God brings the enemy right to his ranch’s back door. If Colton’s life would just slow down for a day or so, he might be able to figure it all out. Too bad his daughter Mickey wants Piper to be her new mother, and Colton’s father is convinced that Piper is “The One” God picked out for his son. What he does know is that Piper’s secrets can’t possibly be worse than his own-a belief which keeps him from deepening their relationship. Former Marine Colton 'Cowboy' Neeley, codename Digitalis, can’t figure out why the woman he loves is lying to him.
