Northstar Security Firm is an elite private security agency whose mission statement: GUIDED BY THE TRUTH, is the guiding principle to provide justice for those who have been wronged. Founded by former CIA agents Byron O’Neal, Katherine O’Neal, and Sean Malone, Northstar Security has a ninety-nine percent success rate. That one percent is a still open case involving Katherine’s murder and Sean Malone’s career-ending gunshot wound. Nothing is a hundred percent guaranteed, and angst over one unsolved case doesn’t stop good men and women from fulfilling their duty.

Caitlin Malone believes screw-ups don’t get second chances. When she returns to Oregon after failing her first Northstar Security assignment and stumbles across a plot to steal deadly pathogens, she sees a chance at redemption. For USDA Forest Ranger, John ‘Mac’ MacAlistair, having Caitlin home again brings up feelings that are better left buried. When Caitlin is trapped by the wildfire, started by the terrorists, her only hope of rescue is pinned on Mac, the man she's tried two years to forget. |
Egan Maddox isn’t sure he’s the right man for the job when Northstar director, Byron O’Neal, asks him to find his missing daughter and protect her from an unknown danger. Egan’s never shaken off his attraction to Kellee O’Neal and hiding away with her, could be more than trouble than this former Navy SEAL can handle. Kellee is lost, with no memory, and believes someone wants to hurt her. When Egan appears and seems to know her, he convinces her she’ll be safe with him. As her memories resurface, she turns to Egan for comfort, and her youthful crush transforms into a womanly passion she can’t deny. With the Russian Mafia closing in, Kellee learns her entire life has been a lie. How can her love for Egan be enough to help her navigate the murky waters of her past and prove that her heritage doesn’t matter as much as the woman she’s become? Share a bed with Egan? After what had just happened? Could she do it? Had they done it before? “I’m sleeping on the floor,” he said, as though sensing her thoughts. She whirled around. “I wasn’t…I was wondering if we…” Her cheeks grew hot. How did she ask that question? The corner of his mouth twitched. “No. We haven’t.” “Oh.” That settled the question about being lovers. Disappointment gnawed at her. She wasn’t his student anymore. She was a grown woman, with mature needs and desires. “I’m perfectly fine if you want to sleep on the bed with me.” At least she thought she was. “Besides, you’ll be uncomfortable, and might kink your neck, or worse.” He shrugged off her concern. “Comfort isn’t the issue.” “Then what is?” “Let’s just say I don’t need the distraction.” Her? A distraction? His admission ignited a flare of hope. Without a second thought, she walked over to him, stood on her toes and planted a kiss on the same cheek she’d slapped earlier. His scruffy whiskers grazed her lips, searing a new memory into her brain. “What was that for?” Frustration edged his voice. “For slapping you. You didn’t deserve it. You were doing your job.” She returned to the bed and pulled down the covers, watching him out of the corner of her eye. Egan stood rooted to the carpet for a moment. Then he strode decisively into the bathroom. She smiled when she heard him swear just before slamming the door. |
When Northstar Security Firm investigates the blackmail of a U.S. Senator, agents Riley O'Neal and Mary "Chip" Anderson don the unwelcome cover of newlyweds to find two kidnapped women and stop the blackmail - and posing as newlyweds to avert a national security crisis is a lot harder than it seems. |
Cyber-terrorism brings even the most powerful companies to their knees. When Northstar Security Firm discovers a breach inside their computer firewall, agent Sloan Cartland will do anything to help the firm's brilliant computer tech, Allison Richards, find the culprit—even after he learns that all evidence of the hack points back to Allison. |
FBI agent, Nelson Kane's Aunt Rosalee has a story to tell. Someone wants her stopped. When Northstar Security's unconventional bodyguard, Justine Shelby, is assigned as Aunt Rosalee's protection, Shelby learns she's as welcome as a wiretap at the annual J. Edgar Hoover Christmas party. Ornaments start to fly when Shelby informs by-the-book, Agent Kane to stay out of the way while she helps his aunt complete her tell-all memoirs. |
Fun Fact about Book 5 in the Northstar Security Series: I had the story lines for four of the Northstar Security series when I started creating my website. In the process of entering a tagline about each book, a tagline for a fifth book popped into my head. I had no story planned or even outlined, but based on that gut-level intuition, I was confident I could, and would, write that story. The result was TELL IT LIKE IT IS. From the beginning I’d planned to use only the character’s last names throughout the story.
Fun Fact about Stanalei’s book’s working titles: PROVING GROUND was retitled three times. BEYOND DUTY was retitled twice. DEAD RECKONING was the original title, but I included a definition page, to show how the title was tightly linked to the character’s journey. I can’t even begin to tell you how giddy I was when I came up with BREAKING THE HONOR CODE, my favorite title. And TELL IT LIKE IT IS, wasn’t taken from the song, but from the character, Rosalee Kane’s determination to tell her story.
Fun Fact about Stanalei’s website: In the early days of website design, I was determined to maintain my web presence independently, so I taught myself how to code in HTML. Today, I still maintain my own website. I truly appreciate when visitors stop by. If you ever find a mistake, I most welcome the opportunity to correct it. http://www.stanaleifletcher.com/index.html
