About Donna Michaels

It's all my mother's fault.

She read to me before I could read and opened up that magical world where I still reside today. Then came television and movies. Now I had three avenues to feed my imagination...and boy could I eat! As you no doubt figured out, this led to my writing career. After several starts in between having a son, twin sons, then a daughter, I didn't get serious until my youngest child entered 1st grade. Now, I'm multi-published with several publisher and self-published in e-Book and print with a ton of voices in my head. I love those voices! They helped me win awards and become a New York Times and USA Today Best Selling author. Hope they never stop!

Sinjin moved back to Texas to work with his D-Force brothers, counting on them to spark his humanity. What he hasn’t counted on is for that spark—and a whole lot more—to come from his sexy next-door neighbor.

Overexposure to the sweet angel breaks down his barriers, but when her life is threatened by a relative of a patient who dies, Sinjin’s inner demons resurface, and he is forced to choose a path to either save her indefinitely or save his soul.

She can’t unsee the horrors she’s seen, but she can continue to aid animals in need, and enjoys volunteering at a shelter in the town where she grew up. Unable to resist helping rescues, she’s inexplicably drawn to the new volunteer. It has nothing to do with his smokin’ hot body or mesmerizing hazel eyes.

Shadow of a Chance: Shadow SEALs Aug 31, 2021

by Donna Michaels, Shadow Sisters

( 367 )

$3.99

Hand chosen to work a joint op with the CIA as a Navy deserter, Navy SEAL Chance Reynolds followed the rules, and got burned. Now his best friend is dead, and Chance is stuck with the ‘deserter’ label. The only reason he isn’t rotting in prison is due to the interference from a former retired commander.

He owes the man.

So when a mysterious woman contacts Chance and offers him a job to safely escort the daughter of a murdered scientist to several classified locations across the country, he agrees. Not because of the insane amount of money offered, but to repay the debt to his former commander. Knight, no doubt, had to be the one who tossed his name to the shadowy lady. No way would anyone trust a Navy deserter to protect an asset.

Dana Spencer is no asset.

She’s not the scientist’s daughter either, but she is under orders to keep it a secret and carryout the mission her dear friend and coworker would have…if she weren’t in a coma. Even though Dana hates lying, especially to her handsome, ex-military bodyguard, she has no choice. The fate of millions depends on her deciphering ciphers left by her friend’s murdered father before his secret NSA work falls into enemy hands.

Dana is unlike any woman Chance has ever known, smart, beautiful, a crack shot, and even though he senses she’s hiding something, he doesn’t bother to fight their crazy chemistry.

Chance deserves to know the truth. He’s kept her safe and amazingly satisfied but will he desert her when he discovers she’s CIA? Between her deceit and an enemy who always seems to be a step ahead, Dana’s not sure if their mission or relationship stands a shadow of a chance.

$3.99

The biggest risks have the sweetest reward…
For former Navy SEAL Dean Huntington, Harland County is just a pit stop on his road to a spot on a government spec ops team. Working for his military buddy while continuing PT to get his recently injured arm up to par is a win/win. Sniffing around the also-new-in-town sexy baker is risky to his planned-out future…but taking risks is his life.
Award-winning pastry chef/baker Loni Champion loves to compete all over the world in bake-offs with her twin sister, but a recent diagnosis will put an end to competing as well as her sight. Winning her final competition is all she can think about until the new hot guy in town makes her mouth water with his lean body and mischievous grin.
She’s great at taste-pairing but not interested in relationship-pairing, which suits Dean fine because he’s not sticking around. But when their temporary fling turns as serious as the threats against Loni if she competes, Dean realizes losing her is not an option and he’ll risk it all to keep her safe.

Cooper (HC Heroes Series Book 5) Mar 31, 2020

by Donna Michaels

( 79 )

$3.99

Cooper Thompson was a take-it-on-the-chin type of guy. An attitude that had served him well as a Navy SEAL and now as an agent in his buddy's security and protection agency, but a few years back, it had faltered when he'd discovered the reason behind his adoption. A good portion of his self-worth had disappeared...along with his fiancée. Done with serious relationships, he sticks with the fun-seekers and steers clear of all others-especially the one with a sweet soul, long, silky blonde hair, startling blue eyes...and is the sister of one of his military brothers. Looking twice at the innocent girl he'd watched grow into a gorgeous woman is pure stupidity. She has always been forbidden fruit—one he very much wanted to taste.

Life for Abby Sharp is going well. Her brother survived active duty and lives close by. She owns a beauty salon that is just this side of successful and she's surrounded by good friends. There is only one thing left on her bucket list: To kiss Cooper Thompson in the rain. She's always had a crush on the guy, and since his arrival in town, she's discovered that not only has it not gone away, it intensified. But even though Cooper is a former SEAL, and her brother is former Delta, they still invoked the military brother code and never messed with family. Which is too bad because there's rain in the forecast, and her body is on high alert.

Discovering Abby's bucket list proves too much for Cooper's resolve and soon he's sharing more than kisses in the rain with the tempting woman. Still determined to stay on the light and casual road, he reluctantly agrees to keep their 'friendly' situation from her brother. After all, it's just a temporary fun walk on the wild side.

But when her life is put in danger, Cooper suddenly realizes his feelings for her are way more than 'just for fun' and he'll risk everything to save her.

Grinch Reaper: Sleeper SEALs Book 8 Dec 12, 2017

by Donna Michaels, Suspense Sisters

( 255 )

$3.99

The Sleeper SEALs are former U.S. Navy SEALs recruited by a new CIA counter-terror division to handle solo dark ops missions to combat terrorism on U.S. soil.

GRINCH REAPER

The only thing Matteo “Reaper” Santarelli hates more than Christmas is having to leave the teams to take over his family’s chain of pizza joints after his father suffers a stroke. So when the Sleeper SEALs team he joined upon discharge tasks him with a local mission, he’s happy to toss the dough aside to track down and interrogate the leader of the cell to gather intel on threats to Atlantic City over the holiday season. But the simple snatch ‘n grab assignment turns complicated when his path crosses with his kid sister’s beautiful best friend—a former Marine hell bent on wiping out his mark.

Blackjack dealer by day, Isabella “Banshee” Monroe hunts terrorists for a living as part of a secret government task force. For over a decade and a half, she’s waited for the terrorist responsible for her father’s death to come into her crosshairs and isn’t about to let anyone come between her and her sanctioned mission—not even her best friend’s gorgeous older brother—the guy she’s crushed on since childhood.

Finding the leader is easy. Keeping the target safe from Bella is nearly impossible. Almost as impossible as fighting the attraction sizzling between them. But when they discover the threat is bigger than expected, can they stop fighting each other long enough to work together to neutralize the whole cell before the countdown ushers in more than the impending New Year?

** Grinch Reaper is loosely connected to the Dangerous Curves Series. It is also in the "Sleeper SEAL" connected series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.**

*Each book in this multi-author branded series is a standalone novel, and the series does not have to be read in order.*

by Donna Michaels

( 81 )

$3.99

Too stubborn not to butt heads…too attracted to each other not to fall into bed.

Dexter “Dex” Wright is never wrong. It’s not an ego thing, it’s a fact reflected by a drawer full of military medals and commendations. He’s great at protecting people, and even better at guarding his heart—skills honed by a stint in Delta Force and from growing up in the system. But daily contact with the beautiful, stubborn sister of one of his military buddies is slowly thawing the unreachable.

Rylee Bryson grew up a military brat. Instead of rebelling against the regimented, disciplined lifestyle, she embraced it. Too bad her family wants her to get married and play it safe behind a desk. She tried that—even got engaged—but neither worked out. So when she learns her brother’s buddies need a receptionist for their security and investigation company she jumps at the chance—not to trade one desk for another—no, Rylee is on a mission to prove she has what it takes to be an agent. If only she didn’t have to work with the sexy jerk who broke up her engagement.

With the tempting woman assigned to work undercover with him on a case, Dex can’t seem to keep his hands or his mouth off his partner. But more than his heart is at stake if he doesn’t keep his head in the game.

She brings more than his tattoo to life…

Leaving the military had always been in Hunter Donovan future—either by casket or choice--turns out, it was choice. Early on, he made a promise to himself that if he ever got to the point where he grew too cold, too hardened and the missions didn’t matter, then he’d get out. Working for his Delta brother’s security and investigation company seems a logical choice.

His attraction to the sexy tattoo artist next door…not so much.

She brings more than his tattoo to life, she brings his body to life, as well. Too bad Christa is a single mother because he is far from father material to Dillan. But when her life is threatened and someone tries to abduct her little boy, the hunter and protector inside of Hunter resurfaces, and heaven help the person who dared to take Christa and Dillan from his life.

Gabe (HC Heroes Series Book 4) Dec 10, 2019

by Donna Michaels

( 78 )

$3.99

Sometimes giving in is the win…

Helping people is Gabe Bryson’s calling in life. Exchanging combat boots for a sheriff’s badge is as natural to the former Navy SEAL as breathing air. Rules and regulations, law and order are all in his wheelhouse. So to find himself attracted to a beautiful, exasperating animal activist who thinks rules are made to be broken, drives him nuts.

Helping animals is Lyndsey Heston’s calling in life. The veterinary technician/animal foster mom doesn’t have time for a boyfriend or dating or her unwanted attraction to the handsome new sheriff. He’s too buttoned up; too by-the-rules; too much like her father—a former sheriff; and definitely too darn hot for her own good.

After a particularly bad day, she finds herself sharing drinks—and a whole lot more—with the sexy sheriff whose kindness takes her by surprise. Soon compassion turns to passion and they both agree it’s just one night and they can go back to disliking each other in the morning.

Even though their ‘just one night’ turns into several, Gabe is certain he’s got a handle on the situation, until Lyndsey breaks up a dog fight ring and acquires a bullseye on her pretty head. The SEAL turned sheriff realizes there’s no rule or regulation he won’t break to keep her safe.

Carter (HC Heroes Series Book 2) Jun 11, 2019

by Donna Michaels

( 80 )

$3.99

Protecting her is his job…falling for her is unexpected.

Carter Sharp…isn’t always, especially when he’s in the presence of his sister’s friend, Mel. The sexy tattoo artist’s spontaneous, reckless attitude clashes with his ‘by-the-book, never-cut-corners’ creed—the one that saved his and his team’s lives on more than one occasion. His D-Force days are over but working for one of his former Delta brothers as a security expert/investigator has just begun, and it’s just his luck to land an assignment to secretly protect the artist.

Mel Richardson doesn’t want or need a man in her life—for his safety. She couldn’t save her father or her brother, so she refuses to let there be a third. But it’s totally safe to secretly crush on her friend’s older brother, and even harbor a fantasy or two of the hot, former military guy. Turning a blemish into a work of art, plus rehoming animals who survive the death of their owners are both emotionally rewarding and the perfect distractions to her growing attraction to Carter. Too bad his sister volunteers him to help Mel with some recent technical difficulties.

The hot woman is strong enough to kick his butt if she discovers he’s secretly assigned to protect her, but it’s the soft, vulnerable side he discovers underneath her tough persona that terrifies him. It makes her lethal enough to cut through his defenses and melt his cold heart.

~HC Heroes Series~
Bound together by a medal earning op, seven servicemen leave the military behind to open an investigation company and heat up south Texas nights.
