Elle writes gothic, paranormal mystery for the Harlequin Intrigue line and paranormal romantic comedy for Dorchester Publishing. Her adventures in the army and air force reserves, and the wild antics of her life on a small ranch in Texas give her fodder for mystery, suspense and humor in her writing. Ask her, and she'll tell you what it's like to go toe-to-toe with an angry three-hundred-and-fifty-pound bird and live to tell about it! She and her husband have even tried their hands at ranching exotic birds (ostriches, emus and rheas) in the Texas hill country. As a former member of the army reserves and a current member of the air force reserves, she's traveled across the United States and to Germany, managed a full-time job, and raised three wonderful children. She received her work ethic from her rock-solid father, her creative streak from her artistic mother and inspiration from her writing partner and sister, Delilah Devlin. But with the killers closing in and the overgrown depths of the Louisiana bayou hampering their escape, another funeral - this time for both of them - seems inevitable…Īward-winning author Elle James grew up as an air force military brat. Still recovering from a near-fatal injury, Tristan vows to protect his wife and earn her trust. She has their unborn child to think about. When Sandy DuChaud’s murdered husband shows up alive on her doorstep confessing he’s an undercover security agent with terrorists in hot pursuit, she can’t just forgive and forget.

But when her cover is blown, Rip knows her life depends on his SEAL instincts and her love depends his commitment as her ‘husband.’ Despite their attraction, Rip senses Tracie’s distrust.

Posing as wealthy newlyweds, Rip discovers Tracie is as skilled at playing his ‘bride’ as she is at covering his six. It’s a two-man operation, but he never thought he’d team up with Covert Cowboy operative, Tracie Kosart. It’s the perfect cover to catch the traitors supplying weapons to Honduras terrorists. Navy SEAL ‘Rip’ Cord Schafer is ‘missing in action’.
