Every spouse of a law enforcement officer fears that middle-of-the-night phone call. Author Lisa Simmons has lived that nightmare. On February 7, 2008, her fifty-one-year-old husband Randy Simmons responded to a "SWAT Call-Up" in Winnetka, California, where he was tragically killed at the hands of a deranged man during an eleven-hour hostage rescue standoff that resulted in a quadruple homicide. In 41 D-Man of Valor Lisa tells the story of her husband's multifaceted life and of his amazing accomplishments both in and out of uniform. This biography narrates how Randy overcame trials and tribulations, how he put his faith in God, and how he worked tirelessly to better the lives of underprivileged children. It shares the details of his life as a devoted husband, father, mentor, minister, football coach, and twenty-seven-year-veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department. It discusses his death as the first in LAPD history of a SWAT officer losing his life in the line of duty, of his most unprecedented funeral, and of the awards he received following his death. With honesty, candor, and conviction, 41 D-Man of Valor delivers a true story about a man who continues to inspire as much in death as he did in life. It shows how his legacy lives on through the many people he touched. RANDALSIMMONS.ORG RANDYSIMMONSSWAT.COM

Julie Ann Walker's Black Knights Inc. meets the Black Dagger Brotherhood in this high-octane shifter romance filled with alpha wolves, red-hot romance, and thrilling action from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Paige Tyler. The Dallas SWAT team is hiding one hell of a secret—they're a pack of alpha werewolves. They can take down threats no one else can handle without breaking a sweat, but SWAT team commander Gage Dixon wasn't prepared for the intense heat investigative journalist Mackenzie Stone can bring with a single look... Mackenzie never backs down from a story when her gut tells her something is up. And the fact that Gage Dixon has handpicked his perfect team of officers and keeps everyone else at a distance doesn't sit well with her. They must be hiding something...and she's determined to find out what. Keeping Mac at a distance proves impossible for Gage. She's smart, sexy, and makes him feel alive for the first time in years. But she's getting dangerously close to the truth—and perilously close to his heart... Can he protect his wolf brothers and be honest with Mac at the same time, or will she expose the truth of who's really keeping Dallas safe? Praise for Hungry Like the Wolf: "Hot, action-packed, and sexy as hell. Paige Tyler burns up the pages and I couldn't read it fast enough."—Sara Humphreys, award-winning author of Vampire Trouble "Filled with action-packed passion."—Publishers Weekly "Total fun...[Tyler] playfully brings to life werewolves who might just find a humanitarian use for their strength and skills."—Booklist "Hungry Like the Wolf is a great read for those of us who love an action-packed adventure with sexy shifters in uniform."—Tome Tender
