Madison & Amy- A Poem

Madison & Amy

K.N. Lee

We grabbed our coats

Lips pursed in fear

We tip-toed down the hallway

So that he wouldn't hear

Our heartbeats drummed

At frightful speeds

We're running away

From step-dad's deeds

His snores are our sign

That he has no clue

What Madison and I

Are about to do 

I hold my sister's hand

And lead her to the door

His snores abruptly stop

And we look back

Once more

He's standing there

Wild black hair

Scruffy beard

His blue eyes glare

He's watching us

Belt in hand

Scowl on face

But me,

I do not waste

Any time

I pull her free

And into the meadow

We escape

Madison

And Amy

Leather, Lace  Rock-N-Roll (SEALs, Inc.Book 1)

Brains before Beauty, that's Rachel Newberry's motto, especially when her quiet, orderly life is interrupted by international rock star, Jaydon Hawke. And true to her word, brains take center stage when she discovers Hawke has a lot more on his mind than beautiful music. Targeted by a madman, Rachel puts her trust in Hawke, a move that may cost both their lives.

Outspoken Angel (SEALs, Inc., Book 2)

Handbags, stilettos, and spa dates -- not retired SEAL Max Sterling's usual m.o. Until Cameron Tremaine. Duty bound, Max tolerates her sass and smart mouth until she pushes too far.

Cameron doesn't need a bald, bossy bodyguard, thank you very much. Especially one oh, so delectable as Max. Except, when someone decides to silence her for good, Cameron realizes bold and brassy go hand in hand.

Freaky By Nature (SEALs, Inc. Book 3)

Former Navy SEAL and private investigator Brett Steele didn't realize there was a politically correct term for stripping until he met Holly London. Initially drawn to her long legs and curvy, toned body, Brett soon learns there is more to the "sensual dance" instructor than he thought.

Holly has a colorful secret: psychic ability allows her to read aura through color. Believing she is a freak of nature, Holly avoids personal relationships and ignores her curse, rendering it a nuisance. Until the atmosphere warns her she has become the target of a madman.

Faced with exposing her secret, Holly must risk trusting Brett in order to stay alive.

Tightly Wound (SEALs, Inc. Book 4)

Claire Steele has spent her whole life dodging shadows. Psychic since birth, she uses her talent to chase the evil lurking in the recesses of her mind.

For years, Lt. Malcolm "Shadow" Windsor has walked the fragile boundary of friendship, silently waiting for Claire to acknowledge her love for him. An ex-Navy SEAL and expert tracker, he knows patience is the key to her surrender. Until sinister forces threaten to eliminate her.

Caught between love and death, Claire and Shadow must combine both talent and skill to survive.

The Cat’s Meow (SEALs, Inc. Book 5)

Tess Michaels, bookkeeper and human calculator, keeps business at The Cathouse clearly profitable - until the numbers begin to fade. Matt Brooks, former Army Ranger and newest member of SEALS, Inc., agrees to investigate, immediately intrigued and aroused by her numerical ability. Yet when Tess becomes his prime suspect, he must do calculations of his own to prove her innocence.
