Not long after, he found a six month old tiny cheetah Therian in a dumpster after a building was burned, leaving no other survivors. After their deaths, Tony adopted their little boy. The Daley’s were like family to Tony, and John Daley was his best friend and detective partner. Tension between him and his family only increased after Tony adopted a Therian child. The only one who remained by his side and supported him was his sister Danelle. Pained by the loss of her husband, Tony’s mom and a good deal of his family turned their backs on him for his decision, unable to understand how he could join the organization that took their loved one. After his father was killed by police officers, he decided to become one so that he could make a difference from the inside out. To understand Tony’s actions, we have to take a look at his past. He will protect his boys to his very last breath. When your dad also happens to be your sergeant, and you’ve been dating one of his trusted agents under his nose, things can get a little intense. Now a dad’s work is never done, no matter how old your boys get, or the fact that they’re highly trained government agents.

At the end of Rise & Fall, Tony shows up at Dekatria with Old Betsy (a beat up Louisville Slugger that’s chased away many an unsuitable suitor), and he intends to get some answers from Sloane and Ash regarding their relationship with his boys. Of course with Ash nothing is ever simple or straightforward. Over the last four books, so much has happened between our foul-mouthed lion Therian agent and the adorable cheetah Therian who captured his heart. In this new installment of the THIRDS, we’re continuing where Rise & Fall left off, except this time we’re experiencing events through Ash and Cael’s points of view. Hello all! Thank you so much for joining me as I celebrate the release of the fifth book in the THIRDS series, Against the Grain. Being in love isn’t the only danger he and Ash face as wounds reopen and new secrets emerge, forcing them to question old loyalties. Yet nothing he’s ever faced has been more of a challenge than the heart of Ash Keeler, his supposedly straight teammate. As a Recon Agent for Destructive Delta, he has successfully maneuvered through the urban jungle that is New York City, picking up his own scars along the way. As a result, Ash’s secrets start to surface, and he can no longer ignore what’s in his heart.Ĭael Maddock is no stranger to heartache. Thanks to Ash’s skills and the help of his team, they finally put an end to the murdering extremist group for good, though not before Ash takes a bullet to save teammate Cael Maddock.

But his hard-lined approach always yields results, evident by his recent infiltration of the Coalition. Blurb: As the fiercest Defense Agent at the THIRDS, Destructive Delta’s Ash Keeler is foul-mouthed and foul-tempered.
