Book one of the exciting Taken Series will slip you
into the world of drug cartels, DEA operations, and the never-waiving love
between Arden and Lucy.
Arden Jones is a DEA agent and has seen and done it
all. His transfer to a desk job is finally in reach. But, when his good friend
is brutally murdered he must go after the cartel one more time while protecting
the ones he loves.
Lucy Farris arranges flowers for a living, lives in a
quaint house in the outskirts of Seattle, and has two adorable Siamese cats.
The last thing she expects is to be kidnapped and used as bait to by the cartel
to hunt the man she loves.
Excerpt:
Thirty-six hours
later. Back in the U.S.
I halted my one-sided conversation with the
foul cockroach wedged between the wall and the table and watched through
half-closed eyes as Sergeant Tom Barnaby stepped into O'Neill's Bar and Grill.
I reacted the same way when I stepped into the dimly lit bar. We both kept our
backs against the door until our eyes adjusted. Barnaby walked toward me,
loose-limbed, like he didn't have a care in the world.
I knew better. Years in law enforcement changed
me, set me apart from everyone else. The average citizen couldn't imagine the
atrocities we witnessed. We worked for different agencies, hunting down and
arresting scum of the earth who lurked in the streets, businesses, and behind
the doors of suburban homes.
When Barnaby reached the cracked,
orange vinyl booth he shook his head at the mess left on the table from the
previous patron.
“Jones,” Barnaby said, as he looked around the
bar. “You couldn't have picked a classier place than this to meet?”
I didn't comment, just
acknowledged him with a nod, and motioned for him to sit. Without a word,
Barnaby sat down, grabbed a grease-stained napkin, brushed the large, winged
bug off the table and stomped on it.
For the last hour, the roach’s
large antennas moved from side-to-side and back-and-forth when I spoke nonsense
to him. I hadn't gotten that much single-minded attention in days. Now, my
short-lived friend was bug-guts on the bar floor.

Bio:
Sharon Kleve was born and raised in
Washington and currently lives on the Olympic Peninsula with her husband.
Sharon is a multi-published author of paranormal
and contemporary romance. She loves romance. She loves reading romance, living
romance, and especially loves writing about romance. She gets no greater
feeling than watching her characters come alive in each other's arms. Most of
all, she loves giving her characters the happily ever after they deserve—with a few bumps and bruises along the way.
One of her favorite things to do is
picking up a new book and sinking into the story, immersing herself in the
emotions between the characters. She hopes to inspire her readers the same way
her favorite authors have inspired her.
When not writing, she can usually be found
either curled up in her recliner with her cat and a good book, or in the
kitchen baking sourdough bread or bagels.
