Life throws curveballs at the worst possible moment…

Retired Navy SEAL and current private-security operative Ian Sawyer never expected to have a wife, much less a child, but his beautiful Angie has changed all that. Her due date is only days away, and the anticipation of holding his child for the first time outweighs his anxiety.

But a frantic phone call in the middle of the night is the just beginning of Ian’s nightmare. Forced to wake his brothers and teammates, he must leave his apprehensive wife’s side, and fly halfway around the world to save the only other woman who could bring him to his knees—his mother.

***The Trident Security series contains passionate romance, nail-biting suspense, and happily-ever-afters. It is best read in order.

Product description

About the Author

USA Today Bestselling Author, Amazon Bestselling Author, and Award-Winning Author Samantha A. Cole is a retired police officer and paramedic. She's lived her entire life in the suburbs of New York City and is looking forward to becoming a snow-bird between New York and Florida someday. Her two fur-babies, Jinx and Bella, keep her company and remind their mom to take a break from writing every once in a while to go for a walk, which is the best way to deal with a stubborn case of writer's block. An avid reader since childhood, Samantha was often found with a book in hand and sometimes one in each. After being gifted with a stack of romance novels from her grandmother, her love affair with the genre began in her teens. Many years later, she discovered her love for writing stories was just as strong. Taking her life experiences and training, she strives to find the perfect mix of suspense and romance for her readers to enjoy. Her standalone novel, The Friar, (retitled The Road to Solace) won the silver medal in the 2017 Readers' Favorite Awards in the Contemporary Romance genre out of more than 1000 entries. While the original planned stories for the Trident Security series have been completed, they have brought many opportunities for Samantha to spread her wings and bring her readers more characters and stories to love. Look for her new Hazard Falls series, the Trident Security Omega Team series, the Doms of The Covenant series, the Blackhawk Security series, and more from the Malone Brothers series, in addition to several standalone projects.

I loved reading this novella. I laughed and cried. I was so glad to read about all the characters from the Trident Series as well the Omega Series and the crossover Steele Series. This was a wonderful way to tie everything together. I was glad to read that Ian and the team managed to get to Marie and to make it back to Angie’s side in time. I love how they all are one big family. It goes to show that family is just not by blood, but also by other aspects in life. Can’t wait to read more of the other spin off series and catch up with everyone from Trident in them. Love Samantha’s books. Thank you for writing them for us to enjoy.

Have and still are reading this series and all the spinoffs. To me reading the books remind me watching a TV series. Only wishing there was a new episode each week. I love the diversity the writer has with each book containing laughable moments, some eye rolling, the BDSM aspects and the murder and thriller aspects of each book as well. I hope you continue with the TS books as there are a few more people yet to get their HEA.

The one who gave you life or the one you gave life to? When life throws tough options at you sometimes you have to go with your gut instinct. With a wife ready to deliver their first child any day, Ian finds himself halfway around the world leading a rescue operation for the only other woman who could make him leave his very pregnant wife home alone. His mother. With a plot as complex and as simple as this get ready for the ride of your life as the whole Trident security team head to the Philippines to rescue the matriarch of the family. I'm not going to give away any spoilers but this book will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat and biting your nails as you wait to see if Ian makes it home in time for the birth of his first child.
I have been a fan of Samanthas novels since the very beginning and this latest installment makes me realise just how much I have missed the men of the Trident Security series and their spin-off brethren.

The pain a felt for the Sawyer brothers and their friends/family in their time of peril. It’s such a difficult thing for anyone to do but it’s just of many things why I love Samantha A Cole books. Her Trident series always leaves me wanting more.

What do you do when your wife is due to have your baby and you get a phone call that the other woman in your life is in danger? Ian must take his teams, leaving his wife and unborn child at home, in order to find and save the other ‘woman’ in his life. Can he get to her in time? Can Ian get back to his wife before their baby makes an appearance?

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing and Joyful

This series has been an addiction I’ve been on since the beginning. I can’t rate Joanna’s books highly enough. Her take on the BDSM Lifestyle is second to none.

Watching each of these Seals find their one person has been a joyful experience. The ups, the downs the lot.

Seeing Ian and Angie at this stage, happy and expecting their first baby you think it’d be a joyous occasion. But when Ian gets a call that has him having to make a decision that could affect them both.

Angie understands and she knows that Ian will do everything within his power to back for the birth of their baby.

My god I was on the edge of my seat! I didn’t want to miss this experience but I also understand why he left. His mother is the other important woman in his life. Angie adores her and he knew she’d be the first one pushing him to bring her home safe.

It had the feels, made me teary that end scene. A must read if you haven’t experienced this series you need to.

Wonderful characters m. Addictive storyline’s. And the insite into the BDSM world is phenomenal. Forget movies made about it. They are not a true portrayal of the lifestyle.

This is a long-awaited novella from my favourite security company. We have been hearing tid-bits about Ian Sawyer and his wife Angie's pregnancy from various other novels in this series which is why I was so looking forward to this book. Ian Sawyer is back with his usual sarcasm and acerbic wit and boy is he back. As Angie's due date approaches he cuts back on his working hours only to be called away as the day rapidly approaches! Will he successfully complete the mission and make it back for the birth of his first born? As usual it is touch and go in this fast paced story with twists and turns. All the stops are pulled out and operatives from both the Alpha and Omega Trident Security teams come together with operatives from steel Corps and our favourite Demios couple. I've missed these guys and Samantha doesn't disappoint with this latest offering. Fast moving, well and accurately written this book is well worth a read. Ian Sawyer.... So good to hear the next part of your story!
