A RAPTOR operative on a mission.
A social worker with unfaltering compassion.
And the competition that sparks desire.....

Former Army Ranger Donovan Keach can't stand the scum that threatens children. Determined to take down an online pedophile, he'll stop at nothing until the criminal is locked up for good. But when he encounters a sexy, but nosy social worker, he suspects foul play.

Hadleigh Watterson will do anything to protect innocent children. While gathering evidence during a case study, Donovan sidetracks her plan. She's ready to barrel in and take down the vermin muddying the innocent. Donovan has other plans. With an intense attraction building between them, teaming up is their only option. Can Donovan uncover the criminal while holding on to Hadleigh for good?

USA Today Bestselling Author

Writing has been a desire my whole life. Once I found the courage to write, life changed for me in the most profound way. Bringing stories to readers that I'd enjoy reading and creating characters that are flawed, but lovable is such a joy.

When not writing, I'm with my family doing something fun. My husband, Gene, and I are bikers and enjoy riding to new locations, meeting new people and generally enjoying this fabulous country we live in.

I come from a family of veterans. My grandfather, father, brother, two sons, and one daughter-in-law are all veterans. Needless to say, I am proud to be an American and proud of the service my amazing family has given. In trying to give back, I've started a foundation, Authors4Veterans, with my friend and fellow author, Stacey Joy Netzel. Our charities will rotate but will always support our military and their families.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read ~ Dark, Intense, Suspenseful Story!
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2021

Holding Hadleigh is an emotionally gripping story that will hold your attention from beginning to end. The storyline is realistic, haunting, heart-racing, and suspenseful with action, danger, twists and turns, and romance. There are dark elements due to the nature of the story, but it is well-written and captivating. You cannot help but sympathize with Van and Hadleigh and the frustration, drama, feeling of helplessness, and emotional undertaking involved. Love that they were both determined and passionate about what they do. This book is definitely intense, but a great read!

4.0 out of 5 stars It’s about child pornography
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2022

This one has at its heart an important and relevant topic—child pornography. Both social services and RAPTOR are after MARCO48 an exploiter of children. In this case the crime is being done by a trusted person in charge of children in care. It’s heinous. There are red herrings, but it’s a bit predictable. The books in this series would benefit from strong editing. There are scads of grammatical errors.

Nothing is as it seems, at least at first. Stunning situation with lots of revelations with unforeseen surprises and twists, plus some edgy action.
The immediate romantic connection is palpable. A story that has all the things necessary to make it a don’t miss this, can’t put it down book. So highly recommend!

Loved the characters. Storyline has possibilities but could be developed so much more. The team needs some serious lessons in surveillance. The whole crew was so obvious. I still enjoyed the story even though the HEA was a little sappy.

Love the way the author weaves each story, giving you a detailed portrait of each character. Both have a bit of sass and just a bit of longing to keep you on the edge of your seat and allow romance in the background. Hope all are this good.

I loved this story of Van and Hadleigh. Their relationship does not always run smoothly, he is an Alpha after all, but in the end they are fighting on the same team. We were drawn further into the Raptor family which sets up beautifully for book 3 . I didn’t find the subject matter easy to read about but then it shouldn’t be. Sensitively handled.

Two People who do everything the can to protect or rescue Children. A really bad Case of Child-Endangerment / Pedophile Behavior right in the „Backyard“ of RAPTOR..Operative Donovan „Van“ Keach and Social-Worker Hadleigh Watterson have only the Option of teaming up to bring down the Criminals. And what about the sizzling attraction that builds between them?

This second Book in the RAPTOR Series by PJ Fiala is a Page-Turner for sure. I couldn't stop reading before i hadn't read it from Front-Cover to Back-Cover.

Really looking forward for the next Installment in this Series.

I liked the concept of the book but I thought there was too much irrelevant description which took away from the story and some of the dialogue was a bit flat.
