WILD
RIDE
Black Knights Inc., #9
by Julie Ann Walker
Blurb:
The hero we've all been
waiting for...
Ethan "Ozzie"
Sykes
Former Navy SEAL
Underground operator for
Black Knights Inc., the covert government defense firm disguised as a custom
motorcycle shop.
In a black-on-black
international mission that went seriously sideways, Ozzie was badly injured—now
he's stuck at BKI headquarters in Chicago, champing at the bit to get out into
the field again. To his disgust, he's tasked with distracting Chicago Tribune
ace reporter Samantha Tate, who's been trying to dig up the dirt on BKI for
years. Turns out Samantha's beauty, intelligence and sense of humor are a
seriously big distraction, and Ozzie's losing his desire to keep her at bay.
Ozzie's tired of hiding,
and Samantha may be the best-and worst—person to share his secrets with...
"A nail-biter from
start to finish". —Publishers Weekly for Too Hard to Handle

Author Info
Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Julie grew up
in a house full of women – she has three older sisters. As you can imagine,
there was no lack of drama… or romance. Her mother enrolled her in a book club
as soon as she began to read and it was the small spark that ignited her
voracious appetite for the written word. Because of Julie’s early immersion in
literature, she found writing came quite naturally. In high school, she won
multiple writing contests and was the proud senior editor of The Tiger’s Tale –
her school newspaper. During her college years, however, she longed for a
challenge. “Reading and writing felt like second nature to me, so I looked for
a way to flex my mental muscles,” she recalls. After receiving a Bachelor
of Science degree, Julie began teaching advanced high school mathematics. “I
loved working with the students and facing the challenges of the classroom, but
I longed for the occasional snow day when I could race to the local book store,
buy two or three new novels, and curl up in front of the fire to read.” It
wasn’t until a fortuitous move to Chicago that Julie once more returned to her
first passion. “Thankfully, my husband – my own personal hero – encouraged my
decision to write full time.” Now Julie lives on beautiful Lake Shore Drive
with a view that sometimes competes with her deadlines. When she’s not writing,
she enjoys camping, hiking, cycling, cooking, travel, and…reading, of course!
