Locked & Reloaded: A Romantic Suspense Novel in the Countermeasure Series
About this ebook
NSA communications specialist George Miller is knee deep in the Middle East ops' aftermath when no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners Maya Shaw careens into his life. He hears alarm bells from the moment she walks into his office because the sharp-witted beauty not only wreaks havoc on his emotions, but carries the power to eradicate Operation Countermeasure.
NSA auditor Maya Shaw is on a hunt for non-compliant operations within the organization. Self-assured--and definitely not looking for commitment--she’s more than willing to butt heads with the geeky specialist if that means getting the information she needs. What she wasn't expecting was to find a man who makes her heart question her head’s choices in life.

**For fans of Covert Affairs, NCIS, Blindspot, and Strike Back.
**Fourth in a thrilling, romantic suspense series!
**Other books in the series include COUNTERMEASURE, TO RUSSIA WITH LOVE and ALTERNATE CONNECTION.
Interview with the Authors
A - Countermeasure pulls in the best of Erotic Romance, Adventure and Suspense into one single series. We also aim to write about people, not characters. They are true to life and flawed, also someone you feel you can connect to and invite for a coffee just to shoot the breeze. The series has two separate, yet connected sets of books. The novels develop the bulk of the mystery and adventure in the plot. The short stories and novellas develop the characters and bare the characters' souls to you. All of their dreams, disillusions, fears are exposed in the short stories. The short stories and Novellas are also what we call Romantica. They are stories portraying a day in the life of the characters after their "I do". A mix between Romance and Erotica where you are the fly on the wall during the married couples' intimate moments. If you enjoy high heat, spicy reads involving married couples, you got to the right series.

About the author
CHRIS ALMEIDA & CECILIA AUBREY
Writing had touched Chris Almeida's and Cecilia Aubrey's lives in different ways through the years but had never taken flight until 2010, when Chris and Cecilia met and began role-playing online as a hobby. It was through playing fictional characters in a sort of improv written theater, that writing took a central position in their lives. The transition from role playing to novel writing was smooth and they attribute the ease of writing realistic characters to their ability to live the scenes 'through role play.
Chris and Cecilia have since chosen to release all their titles independently. They have several short stories and two novels published under their own label, Éire Publishing, and are vocal supporters of independent publishing done right. They are currently working on the next novel in their series. Through all the chaos and laughter, they still hold true to their roots, bringing their favorite role-play characters and stories to life.
