CLAIRE O'SULLIVAN

Released 6/14/2022

Rules of Engagement dives headfirst into a terrifyingly plausible scenario: a genetically modified Ebola virus sweeping the globe with surgical precision. As chaos erupts, Army Ranger Scott Walker is assigned to protect—and work with—sharp-tongued microbiologist Cheyenne Keyes to track the source and stop a diabolical plan before it’s too late.

 

Real science. Real stakes. Real danger.

 

From weaponized viruses and covert military ops to political deception and fragile alliances, this high-octane thriller explores just how far mankind will go to control the uncontrollable.

Can a soldier and a scientist save the world—and each other?

Viral splicing is real—just look at modern medicine and the history of banned bioweapons.

Scientists and politicians have long believed they can control such weapons, despite centuries of proof to the contrary.

The military? They're often on the front lines—whether promoting, preventing, or cleaning up the aftermath.

And when soldiers are assigned to protect scientists, professional lines may blur... but where it leads is anyone’s guess.

Available on Amazon, paperback, eBook and Audible

Cheyenne looks so sweet. Almost angelic. Scott has no idea.

Scott Walker. A man who knows violence. Cross him? Don't try it. He's a dangerous man with skills you don't want to see up close. Now he's her protection duty *and she's having none of his malarkey. But she's not the shy, retiring type. Oh, yeah. Between combat and Cheyenne, this should go well. 

But then again ... who is this woman?

Who carries an Obake for an EDC?? A military operative or a Dalton? 

Cheyenne, of course. Unfortunately for her, he's got that part figured out. But not the Glock.

Cheyenne Keyes. A microbiologist who suspects a number of people (with good reason). But never underestimate an Oklahoman with two PhD's, the first in Microbiolgy, and the second?

 

A PhD in "Oh, I don't think so." It's in her Dalton blood. Scott doesn't stand a chance. But there's a problem. She fears only one thing: storms. And one is coming.

Boxed in the Middle With You (and a Dead Guy)

Book Two

She’s cool under pressure. He’s barely holding it together. And there’s a corpse in the trunk.

Detectives Dakota Littlebear and Luke Barritt are used to trouble, but hiding in the trunk of a stranger’s car with a very dead passenger? That’s a new one—even for them.

When their latest case gets them boxed in—literally—they’ll have to rely on each other to stay alive, keep quiet, and maybe finally talk about that almost-kiss they’re both pretending didn’t happen.

As secrets unfold in the dark, Dakota gets closer to unraveling Luke’s greatest fear. And Luke? He’s learning there are worse things than small spaces. Like trusting someone with your heart.
