HARD LANDING Trey MacLaren is a confident, poised Navy pilot. He’s focused, loyal, ethical, and a natural leader. He is also on his way to what he hopes will be a lasting relationship and marriage with fellow pilot, Jesse Evans. Jesse has always been driven. Her graduation from the Naval Academy and acceptance into the pilot training program are all she thought she wanted—until she discovered love with Trey MacLaren . . . . . . Trey and Jesse’s lives are filled with fast flying, friends, and the demands of their military careers. Lives each has settled into with a passion. At least until the day Trey receives a letter that could change his and Jesse’s lives forever. It’s been over two years since Trey has seen the woman in Pensacola. Her unexpected letter stuns him and pushes Jesse into a tailspin from which she might not pull back. . . . Each must make a choice. Will the choice Trey makes cause him to lose Jesse forever? Will she follow her heart or her head as she fights for a chance to save the love she’s found? Will their independent decisions collide, forcing them to give up on a life together?

Reviews of HARD LANDING “The author really gets into the hearts and souls of her characters in this book, which is probably why I fell in love with the story the way I did. Wonderful, wonderful story.” Authors to Watch, Tricia Drammeh "This particular story is definitely one of my favorites thus far. To list everything I loved about it would take a novel in and of itself, but here are a few highlights: strong female protagonist – Jesse is amazing. As capable as she is smart. Undeniable chemistry – the passion between Jesse and Trey was truly sizzling. The Naval setting – as the daughter of an officer, these types of stories provide a fascinating backdrop for me."  Deede (Goodreads) "Since the very first book that I read by Shirleen Davies I have been hooked on her writing and her ability to sweep the reader up in an unforgettable story from start to finish... and "Hard Landing" is no exception. This is the kind of romance novel that is equal parts emotionally charged drama and grin inducing romance story; it has vivid imagery, features strong characters that forge a connection with each other (and with the reader) and has a plot that engages your mind as much as your heart." Caprilyeous (Goodreads) "She has done to a Navy Pilot love story what Hollywood and Top Gun couldn't, she has added depth of character and a truly fascinating twist that has put this reader on the edge of his seat and unwilling to put the book down even for a minute." Avid Reader (Amazon)

Excerpt from HARD LANDING Jesse moved over, shifted so that she faced him, and wrapped her arms around his neck. “This is all new to me. I just need more time.” She leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his lips. Trey wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close and deepening the kiss. One hand crept up into her hair and held her steady as she opened for him, allowing their tongues to explore. He adjusted her on his lap and unbuttoned her blouse, exposing her black, lace bra to his view. He let his mouth move down the soft column of her neck, then lower. Jesse couldn’t get close enough. She held his head tight to her, feeling the fire building, and squirming from the intense pleasure. She felt the cool air fan her skin when he unsnapped her pants and drew down the zipper. “We’ve never made love in my truck,” he whispered. “Are you sure?” Her voice was thick, sultry. “Oh yeah,” Trey ground out as she moved her hand down the hard muscles of his stomach, then lower. “Then I think it’s time we do.”

WILDER Than The REST Pierce is a rough man, but happy in his new life as a Special Agent. Tasked with defending the rights of the federal government, Pierce is a cunning gunslinger always ready to tackle the next job. That is, until he finds out that his new job involves Mollie Jamison. Mollie can be a lot to handle. Headstrong and independent, Mollie has chosen a life of danger and intrigue guaranteed to prove her liquor-loving father wrong. She will make something of herself, and no one, not even arrogant Pierce MacLaren, will stand in her way. A secret mission brings them together, but will their attraction to each other prove deadly in their hunt for justice? The payoff for success is high, much higher than any assignment either has taken before. But will the damage to their hearts and souls be too much to bear? Can Pierce and Mollie find a way to overcome their misgivings and work together as one?

Reviews of WILDER Than The REST "I've probably repeated myself in almost every one of my reviews of the MacLarens of Fire Mountain books, but here we go again...  I can't get enough of this series or the characters. I love that the author brings starring characters from previous books into the current novel to remind us of how close-knit the family is. If you mess with one MacLaren, you certainly mess with the whole clan, because they will defend their own with their last breath if necessary." Authors to Watch, Tricia Drammeh "I read this book in record time and I have already started re-reading it. The story line is impeccably written and the characters are brought to light in a way that makes us clench our teeth when something happens to them. I couldn't imagine what these stories would be like if they were made into a movie! I wouldn't be able to leave my seat!" Just Blogs "What happens when a rough and ready gunslinger winds up working alongside a crazy and single minded woman? What will happen to them in the unstable boom town that was San Francisco in the olden days? I won’t spoil the plot, but all these questions get answered, and not in the straightforward way I was expecting. By the end, I didn’t know what was coming and I couldn’t wait to read the next chapter. As much a romance as it was a straight up thriller, I couldn’t get enough of this excellent addition to the MacLaren saga." Jenny (Goodreads) "Shirleen Davies brings us an exciting world of intrigue, suspense, romanticism and rawness that is the old west." E.F. Pierce (Goodreads)

Excerpt from WILDER Than The REST “Mollie? Are you ready?” Pierce stood outside her bedroom door, already dressed and waiting to leave for their supper engagement with the Bensteads. He wore a long tailcoat with a white shirt and white tie. He thought he looked good, if somewhat uncomfortable. Then Mollie pulled her door open and smiled, the first genuine smile she’d given him in weeks. Pierce’s eyes widened and he sucked in a slow breath at the sight of her. He knew she was a pretty woman—her beauty had been all too apparent the first day he’d met her months ago. She’d been working as a barmaid at the Desert Dove, a saloon in Fire Mountain owned by his cousin, Niall MacLaren. At the time, Pierce hadn’t known she was undercover, trying to find the source of counterfeit bills being circulated in the territorial capital and taking orders from Noah. He ignored the blood thrumming through his temples and the tightening of his body. Pierce couldn’t allow himself to think of her as anything other than a colleague, even though it took all of his self-control to stop from reaching for her and drawing her to him.
