Special Agent Jackson Caldwell sat down in the conference room at FBI headquarters in downtown Dallas to await a case and partner assignment. Again. Apparently, financial crimes were at an all-time low in the area.
Or his new Special Agent in Charge was just a dick who liked tormenting his new agents. Read more »

No witnesses in the park today, as expected. March brought its chilly winds with it this year, but even if it hadn’t, it was still much too early for children to be outside playing. No self-respecting adult would be out in this weather. And the unrespectable adults? They were sleeping in before a night of St. Patrick’s Day debauchery at the bars. Yes, this meeting had promise.

The Undercover Series takes an unexpected turn…
In The Freelancer, we met FBI Special Agent Jackson Caldwell. We learned about his issues with authority. We learned that he’d do whatever it takes to get the bad guy and close his case. We learned that he could screw up a relationship with style.
We also learned that Jackson Caldwell is the irrefutable heart and soul of the Undercover Series…
Yet in The Alliance we focus our attention on Skylar Montgomery, the infamous Raptor and a cast of con artists, hackers and thieves. Why? Because when Skylar’s quest for revenge intersects with Jackson’s unwavering sense of justice, they’ll set into motion a course of events of dire consequence, the reverberations of which will be felt throughout the rest of the series.
People will die.
Lives will irrevocably change.
And everything you think you know about Jackson Caldwell will be called into question…all because of a chance meeting one frigid morning in the park.
Once Jackson and Skylar meet, everyone’s fate is sealed…For better or worse.
As lines are drawn, where will your alliances lie?
Coming Monday, March 1st

Monday, April 5
Love is a fickle bitch. That’s right. I said it. Someone had to.
It’s not that I have anything against love, per se. I just…It’s complicated. Suffice it to say that she and I have met and parted ways. A few times. Each time, she sucker punched me then kicked me while I was down. Read more »
I didn’t realize until I already exited 190 and was a few miles away on another highway that Jenna was the frantic woman waving her arms from the stalled van I passed. It would take too long to exit and get back to them and I knew I could already be too late. I glanced in my mirrors to make sure no one else was on the road before I slammed on my brakes and U-turned. Traffic was nonexistent on my drive up until this point. I prayed my luck would hold long enough to get me back to Jenna. Read more »
“Where are we going, Chad? What’s going on?” Jenna asked once she cleared the sleep from her head.
“You’ll see. How was the coffee?” Read more »
I was too late. Jenna was gone when I got back. Blackstone beat me to her. Read more »
“Sara, what’s wrong?”
If her life were a Michael Bay film, this was the point where the camera would swing around her and Paul in a slow, full circle. Just like the phone call in Bad Boys II that let Will Smith and Martin Lawrence know that things just got real, Sara could feel the decided shift. It was a moment where it felt like nothing would ever be alright again. Read more »
All the highways in Grand Prairie, Arlington, Irving, and Dallas were shut down, but the Addison tollroad was ignored. Of course, Chad was long gone before they thought to do anything. He could anticipate everything now before it happened. Read more »
“I did something bad,” Jenna said as I approached.
I helped her up and got her inside my condo. She was shaking so badly I had to practically carry her to the couch for her to sit down. I sat next to her and tried to put my arms around her to comfort her, but she pushed me away. Read more »
“I just got a call from McNamara. Blackstone is in the offsite fuel storage hanger. This is going down tonight. You need to get here. Now,” Collin said. Read more »
Chad looked at the clock on his dashboard for what must have been the tenth time that hour. He’d been waiting Read more »
Fervent chanting wafted up from the earthen temple in offering to the moonless night sky, floating higher and faster than the sage smoke burning all around. Months of ritual and careful preparation were about to pay off. In this one perfect night, new moon and winter solstice became one. The power of their union cascaded from the depths of creation, bathing the hooded figures in the very same energy present at the moment the universe came into being.
Tonight, against all the odds, his child would come into the world, soaking it all in at birth. In that single instant, his status would skyrocket from that of the general membership to that of the leaders. Most spent the whole of their lives attempting to reach the coveted respect of Elder. Yet, after only being granted full membership a few years before, he would soar to that rank with a single breath of the child.
Unless the damned Doula continued taking her time with the delivery, that is. Precious little time remained until the window would again close. There was no time to fear for the health of the mother.
She was doomed to die from the moment of conception… Read more »
Jenna opened her eyes and looked Read more »
