Have you read the Project Alpha Series?

Earth 2133

Alphas are human assassins who have been genetically and computer enhanced. Created and raised in a lab, they are now controlled by the Ruling Council that uses them to destroy any and all opposition to their rule.

 But there are problems with the program. The Alphas are highly intelligent and not easily controlled. Most have been terminated, deemed mistakes. But two have escaped and now live outside the Gate—a high-tech shield that protects the enclosed city from the contaminated and lawless land outside. They must constantly evade security forces sent to eliminate them. Their only goal is to destroy their former masters. Knowing they are safer alone, they strike out on their own. But fate has other ideas and each Alpha suddenly finds himself fighting for the one thing he’d never thought he could have—the love of a woman.

Throwback Thursday--Embracing Silence

Throwback Thursday--Embracing Silence is the first book in the Project Alpha trilogy. This series is actually a spinoff from my Tapestries series, but each series stands on its own. You don't have to have read one to read the other.

 

 

EMBRACING SILENCE

 

Earth 2133

The hunter becomes the hunted

 

Tienan is Alpha One, created by the privileged few who live shielded from a lawless land. He's been honed into the perfect involuntary weapon—vengeful, adaptable and ruthless. Finally free of the evil organization that created him, he's on the run with one option to survive outside the Gate: avoid recapture, even if that means killing again. But the sexy little stalker following him is too delicious to take out.

 

The captive becomes the captor

 

Silence is a tracker with the Resistance, a rebel force amassed to end the reign of terror. For Silence to trust Tienan is a risk, but to resist his brutal prowess is impossible.

 

Enemies become lovers

 

As raw sexual need takes over, alliances will shift and treachery could become as potent—and as lethal—as desire.

I love these Carina Press "Spot the Difference" challenges. I found it. Can you?

Alpha's Revenge is here!

Alpha's Revenge is now available from Carina Press!

 

This book was previously released in 2009 by another publisher under the title of Sweet Charity. It has been revised and updated for rerelease with Carina Press.

A war reaches its endgame, but the heat between two unlikely lovers could set fire to all that Resistance forces have achieved. Don't miss the final installment of the Project Alpha trilogy by New York Times bestselling author N.J. Walters.

Adrian is a flawless Alpha assassin and avenging enforcer of the Resistance, devoted to the destruction of the oppressors. The first rule of empowerment? Never trust a stranger.

Then comes Charity, a woman desperate to relinquish her heart and secrets to the cause, and just as eager to surrender her body to its rebel leader. She's more than proved her loyalty—she's become the most desirable and valuable weapon Adrian has.

Charity Caruthers, daughter of the inner city's brutal General, risked her life to escape into the underground. Now she's Adrian's last hope to infiltrate the tyrant's lair and blow it to hell.

As her feelings for Adrian turn deeper and more dangerous with every move they make, it becomes clear. The greatest defense they can stage? Love.

4 Star review for Assassin's Awakening

 

 

Wicked Reads has given Assassin's Awakening 4 stars.

 

READ ENTIRE REVIEW

ASSASSIN’S AWAKENING is now available from Carina Press and other fine e-retailers.

 

This book was previously released in 2009 by another publisher under the title Have Mercy. It has been revised and updated for rerelease with Carina Press.

The pulse-racing Project Alpha trilogy continues as a rebel fugitive comes under the care of a woman whose touch means the difference between life and death

Logan is pure Alpha, a genetically enhanced human who has escaped from the brutal gated city in which he was designed, and from the creators who want him dead. Running for his life across a ravaged Earth, Logan’s goal is to survive. It’s in his blood. Until he awakens wounded, bound and naked, exposed to a beautiful stranger. Now he's vulnerable to sensations he’s never felt before.

Mercy Dockins has tended to many wounded men, but none as intoxicatingly perfect as Logan. Or as responsive to her curative strokes. But as passion ignites between them, Mercy’s very purpose in the bleak new world order is shaken to its core: Logan has brought her not only ecstasy, but danger, too. He's drawn the enemy to her sanctuary, and now their love could soon be just another casualty of war.

Throwback Thursday--Book Edition (Project Alhpa series)

Today's Throwback Thursday post is about me, or rather it's about an older series of mine that hasn't been available for quite some time. I got the rights back to the Project Alpha trilogy back in 2014 but I didn't do anything with it for quite some time.

That is all about to change.

For all of you who have been writing and asking me about this series, I'm absolutely thrilled to announced that Carina has contracted the trilogy. The series name will stay the same but the titles of two of the books are changing.

Project Alpha:
Embracing Silence (book 1)
Assassin's Awakening (book 2-formerly Have Mercy)
Alpha's Revenge (book 3-formerly Sweet Charity)


I'll be sure to post again when I get covers and release dates.

Project Alpha is a spin-off series from Threads of Destiny in the Tapestries series. Readers wanted to know what happened to Tienan and Logan and, quite frankly, so did I. Embracing Silence was nominated for an RT Reviewer’s Choice award the year it was released.

I love all my covers, but next to the Tapestries covers, these are my favorites of my Ellora's Cave covers!

EMBRACING SILENCE

First in the Project Alpha series.

Earth 2133

Tienan is an Alpha—an assassin who has been genetically and computer enhanced. He has escaped from the lab that created him and the Ruling Council that controlled him. He is now outside the Gate—a high-tech shield that protects the enclosed city from the contaminated and lawless land outside. Tienan must constantly evade security forces sent to eliminate him, his only goal to destroy his former masters.

Silence is a tracker with the Resistance on the trail of a dangerous stranger. The hunter becomes the hunted and when Tienan kidnaps her, she thinks her life is over. But both captor and captive are enthralled with one another. Desire and need ignite each time they touch. Enemies become lovers.

Treachery and mistrust drive them apart. But nothing can diminish the sexual heat smoldering between them. With enemies all around, they must confront each other one final time. With time running out, sexual longing and trust battle with betrayal for supremacy.

HAVE MERCY

Second in the Project Alpha series.

Earth 2133

Logan is an Alpha—a genetically enhanced assassin—who has escaped from the lab that created him. He is now outside the Gate, a high-tech shield that protects the enclosed city from the contaminated and lawless land outside. Shot while evading security forces sent to eliminate him, Logan’s only goal is survival.

Mercy Dockins is a healer. Her world is shaken to its foundations when a stranger is brought to her near death. As she heals him, her body and soul respond to him, overwhelming her with sexual desire. With little more than a look and a touch, passion flares out of control, consuming them both.

But this stranger is dangerous to not only her well-being, but also to the safety of everyone she loves. And he has brought the security forces right to her door.

SWEET CHARITY

Third in the Project Alpha series

Earth 2133

Adrian is an Alpha—a genetically enhanced assassin—thought dead by the people who created him. Living outside the Gate, a high tech shield that protects the enclosed city from the contaminated and lawless land outside, he is the leader of the Resistance, living only to bring down the Gate and the people who sought to kill him.

Charity Caruthers is the daughter of one of the most powerful and brutal men in the inner city—the General. She risks everything sneaking outside the Gate to get a message to Adrian.

Passion explodes, ripping apart the foundations of both their lives. Charity begins to understand true sexual desire as Adrian teaches her the passion to be found in dark fantasies. Loyalties are tested and trust pushed to the limits as the final confrontation is at hand. Some will die. Some will live. And Adrian and Charity’s fragile relationship could be the final casualty in this war of retribution and freedom.

Tuesday Teaser: Embracing Silence

This week the Tuesday Teaser comes from EMBRACING SILENCE. This is book 1 in my Project Alpha futuristic trilogy, and it was nominated for an RT Reviewer's Choice Award in 2010.

TEASER:

The man was a phantom.

She took a step back and hit the edge of the table. The candle teetered and fell to one side, its flame flickering before being extinguished. Darkness descended. Silence got a sick feeling in the pit of her belly. She had no idea how to get out.

Moving forward, she tried not to make a sound as she headed toward where she’d first sensed him in the room. It made sense that the entrance would be somewhere around there.

As before, there was no sound, no tell-tale giveaway, but she sensed him as he moved in behind her. Before she could react, his wrists wrapped around hers. He didn’t squeeze them, but his fingers pressed some pressure points. Her hands opened and her knife fell the floor, clattering on the dirt and stones.

He bent her elbows, crossing her arms over her chest. Because of the way he held her, his arms were crossed over her chest too. He surrounded her totally, much like the darkness.

“I don’t want to hurt you.” His voice was little more than a murmur in her ear. His breath ruffled the hair on the back of her neck, tickling the sensitive skin.

Silence licked her lips almost afraid to ask, “What do you want?”

Author Question: What about Tienan and Logan?

I just had a reader write to me and ask if I planned to write follow-up books for Tienan and Logan, two characters who appear in Threads of Destiny (book 4 of the Tapestries series). I've been asked this question many times before so I just thought I should let everyone out there know the answer.

I actually wrote a spin-off trilogy--PROJECT ALPHA. 

 EMBRACING SILENCE is Tienan's book. HAVE MERCY is Logan's book. The third book is SWEET CHARITY and it contains new characters.
