Dear Readers,
Happy New Year! Faithful fans keep asking me what book is in the works for 2012, and when can they expect to read it? I am in the final stages of writing THE GUARDIAN, which is the second book in my Taskforce Series after THE PROTECTOR (July, 2011). Look for THE GUARDIAN, featuring FBI Special Agent Jackson Maddox, in the spring of 2012. It will be available in paperback and electronic formats. As soon as I’m finished with THE GUARDIAN, I’ll be hard at work with the third book in the series, THE ENFORCER.
A lot of readers want to know if there will ever be another SEAL Team 12 book. The answer is yes! When I wrote the short story “SEALed by FATE” for the SEAL OF MY DREAMS ANTHOLOGY, it sounded exactly like the prologue of a new book! It will take a while before I get my rights back to the short story, not to mention the time to write a full book, but you can count on seeing all the SEALs in Team 12 again, in a book I intend to call HOT SPOTS.
Finally, a lot of readers want to know if Drake and Skyler from TOO FAR GONE will ever have their own happily ever after. And what about Vinny and Ophelia? Will they ever tie the knot? Their stories are all bubbling in my brain. I only wish there were more time in a day for writing!
Thank you all for your enthusiasm and loyalty. I will do my best to live up to your expectations.
Yours truly,
Marliss

Eryn McClellan teaches ESL in Washington, D.C., until the day she’s targeted by terrorists avenging her father’s actions in Afghanistan. The FBI has stepped in, but when it looks like they are using her for bait, General McClellan enlists the aid of the only man he knows he can trust: former Navy SEAL Ike Calhoun.
Embracing solitude in his remote cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ike thought he’d left the War on Terror far behind. Now he’s stuck shielding a blue-eyed beauty from ambitious federal agents and crazed jihadists. More disturbing still, the charming Eryn seems intent on shattering his self-imposed isolation. Ike does his best to resist her welcoming ways, but he can feel his restraint eroding like a mountain in a mudslide. With the FBI hot on their heels and the terrorists not far behind, Ike willingly wages a one-man war in defense of the woman whose passion and faith have given him the strength to rise above his past.

“This is a must read. A keeper. If you have never read Marliss Melton, she is a powerful and talented author who not only has heartfelt stories of heroes but they are realistic stories of elite warriors, the U.S. Navy S.E.A.L. “The Protector” is a wonderful story of love, facing your past, and moving forward to find love and happiness.” —April Renn MyBookAddiction.com
“...the kind of intrigue I enjoy, much like Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, David Baldacci and Steig Larsson. In my opinion they have nothing on her.” —John Lund, US Air Force Retired.
