To us, first responders are heroes. But for them, risking their lives is a normal, everyday thing.
Mudflap:
Born the baby of the family, Mudflap has always had something to prove to emerge out of the shadows of his older siblings. He spent eight years as a Special Ops elite sniper and is now a firefighter. But at his heart, he’s just a normal West Texas good old boy who loves his beer, women and football, until the Department of Defense calls him up to say they need his skills again.
Shanae:
Shanae is a first responder of a different sort. She’s a trauma nurse who works on a medical evacuation helicopter team. But while she lives a life full of adrenaline every day, it’s just a cover for her real life, where she hides in the shadows and is secret agent, Shadowfox for the Lubbock Foxtrot Team (LiFT). She’s living the kind of life that most people think exists only in movies and books.
Working for two different branches of the government, Mudflap and Shanae are in a race against time and the terrorists who threaten the very heart of West Texas life, football. They’re working toward the same goal, but find themselves in a confrontation against each other and the lies they’ve each had to hide behind. Can love win out in the end or will the cost be each other and their very lives?
First responders are heroes every day, but this story tells the tale of when they become even more and find love along the way. The key is for them to stay alive so that they can complete their mission and just maybe live happily ever after.
On an ordinary day, they save lives. On an extraordinary day, they save the country.

Book Excerpt
She took a sip of her wine and looked at him appraisingly. “Okay, now it’s your turn to share. Tell me how in the world you got the name Mudflap. It has to be a nickname, right?”
He chuckled mockingly. “Unfortunately, no. It’s the name that my parents gave me on my birth certificate.”
“Why? And please tell me you’re an only child or that they didn’t do the same thing to your brothers and sisters.”
His eyes sparkled with amusement although he tried to sound annoyed. “Are you making fun of my name?”
She worked to straighten her grin. “No sir, I would never make fun of a highbrow name like Mudflap.” She giggled. “Come on. You have to tell me the story.”
He sighed deeply before launching into the story. “I have a brother who’s seven years older than me and then twin sisters who are five years older.”
“Ooh, twins run in your family, too. That settles it. We’re never allowed to procreate. We’d end up having a litter,” she teased.
His eyes darkened for a moment as he considered her. A shiver of awareness rolled up her spine, but then he continued. “I wasn’t planned. My mom never forgave my dad for getting her pregnant. To add insult to injury, my dad was out hunting when mom went into labor. I’m not sure what the story is, but mom swears the night I was conceived dad was so horny, he got turned on by a mudflap girl. Obviously, that’s not even possible, but I honestly don’t really want to know what the whole story is. All I know is that mom was hormonal and ticked at dad and I paid for it with my name. She’s since forgiven me for being born, but I’m stuck with the name.”
Shanae snickered. “That is so wrong.” But her lips continued to twitch.
“Tell me about it. I’m the one who’s had to live with the name my whole life.”
“Have you ever considered changing it?”
“Yeah, it’s crossed my mind a time or two or hell, one hundred times, but I figure it’s a good reminder to always use birth control.”
She full-out guffawed at that. “Oh my God.” The snorting continued. “That’s absolutely priceless.” She giggled into her hand.
“Oh yeah, just continue to laugh it up. I see how you are.”
“I’m sorry, but it really is a great story.”
Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
However, Shanae is not exactly what she seems. She is an paramedic but she is under cover for LiFT, a governmental agency under the Homeland Security Agency. They are investigating an internal terrorist group that wants to liberate Texas. The fire that injured Madflap’s partner looks to be started by ALT. LiFt is now infiltrating Mudflap’s fire department and Shanae is supposed to stay close to Mudflap. This undercover work is not her favorite thing. Mudflap will probably think she used him, but in reality she really likes him.
Mudflap’s partner, Grant, was distracted during the fire by a gold coin. This distraction led to his being trapped in the building in the first place. Now an attempt has been made on his life while he lies unconscious in the hospital. Shanae has to dig deeper into her cover and find out what is really going on. The sooner the better, so she can keep Mudflap safe.
Mudflap finds himself recruited by the army to go undercover himself. He is now the new trainer for the Texas Tech Football Program. The same program his brother just became the head coach for. Things are heating up and the thoughts are that terrorists are going to hit a football game. Both Shanae and Mudflap have to help solve the case before anyone else gets hurt.
This story had a lot of likable characters. I like Shanae as she is a tough undercover agent and plays with the big boys. I also like how the story is divided into parts that cover each of their storylines when they aren’t together. The author will write about Mudflap and then switch to Shanae with a clear separation. This makes the story easy to follow. When they both are considered undercover, it is fun to watch them try and maintain it. The reader goes along for the ride. The intrigue and investigating parts of the story are very interesting and well written. The author even threw a bit of football in to make the story’s setting of Texas extremely believable. I would definitely recommend this book. I would give it a 4 out of 5.
