ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 29, 2025
They say I’m dead.Good. That lie has kept me alive for years.
I was MI6’s best, until an extraction mission in Prague went up in flames. Three agents died. One of them was Logan’s partner. Logan who is cold, relentless, and the only man who ever got under my skin. Now I’m back, and I need his help. I have something he wants, a ledger that could expose a black-market arms ring and shatter Cerberus from the inside. But Logan doesn’t trade in favors. He trades in control.
His terms are simple: I belong to him for the duration of the mission. Every breath, every move, every surrender, under his command. But as we spiral deeper into a world of shadows and lies, across glittering casinos, brutal fortresses, and private clubs where control is currency, I start to question everything I thought I knew, about the mission, about Cerberus, and about the man who holds all the power. Because the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done… Is let Logan Radcliffe back into my heart.

(Cowboys of Silver Spur Security 6)
by Delta James
Genre: adult, contemporary, erotic, romantic suspense
Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /
ABOUT THE BOOK :Release Date September 19, 2025
I ran from the law, the lies, and him. Now I’m hiding out in the one place more dangerous than his ranch.
I never expected to end up on the run for a murder I didn’t commit. One minute I was climbing the corporate ladder, the next I was being framed and hunted. Desperate and out of options, I turned to the only place I swore I’d never go back to, Silver Spur Security. And him.
Trace McRae.
The gruff, impossibly controlled Dom who once made me burn with nothing but a look. I defied him back then. Got myself banned from The Iron Spur. But now? He’s my last shot at staying alive. Trace agrees to help me, but on his terms. His house. His rules. His discipline.
Now I’m stranded on a remote Texas ranch with a man who delivers pain like poetry, sees straight through my sass, and makes my heart race for all the wrong reasons.
I don’t know what’s more dangerous, the killers closing in… or the way I’m starting to fall for the one man I swore I couldn’t handle.

REVIEW:THE FOREMAN is the sixth instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult COWBOYS OF SILVER SPUR SECURITY erotic, Dom/sub, romance series. This is rancher, co-owner of the Iron Spur / Iron Spur Enforcer, Club disciplinarian Trace McRae, and tech expert Macy Dane. THE FOREMAN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise including Dom/sub and discipline situations, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Macy and Trace) THE FOREMAN follows three years after Macy Dane was banned from the Iron Spur for disobedience and brat-like behavior but Macy’s return comes with a target on her back, and she is hoping Dom Trace McRae, the man whom she loved, will help her prove to the authorities that she had been framed. Three years earlier, Macy Dane joined the ranks at Nexus Technologies but as the months and years passed, Macy discovered all was not right with the people in charged. Framed for espionage and treason, Macy knew the only man who could help, is the man who broke her heart but a man who is willing to risk his life for the woman he once loved.
The world building is fast and furious as our couple go on the run to protect our story line heroine but at every safe house and hideaway their presence is discovered, and with the help of the team at Silver Spur Security, they place a plan into motion to take down the people who attempted to destroy our heroine’s life.
The relationship between Macy and Trace is one of second chances. Macy never stopped loving the man who broke her heart but Trace knew that in an effort to teach Macy a lesson, a lifetime ban at the Iron Spur meant walking away from the woman he loved. The $ex scenes are erotic and provocative.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and determined secondary and supporting characters including the co-owners of the Silver Spur Security and the Iron Spur Exclusive Sex Club- Gavin Briggs, Hawke Turner, Reed Malone and Dawson Hart, as well as Jesse Bryant.
THE FOREMAN is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, espionage and treason, forgiveness and love. The fast paced, character driven premise is intriguing and entertaining; the rekindling romance is seductive and passionate; the characters are desperate, dynamic and charismatic.

The $ex scenes are passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text although their timing could not have been more awkward 😉
The secondary and supporting characters are limited.We are introduced to Wren’s brother with Caleb Knox, as well as the return of former SEAL turned sheriff Zeke McAllister. The requisite evil has many faces
SENTINEL OF TALON MOUNTAIN is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, revenge and murder, friendships and love. The fast paced premise is dramatic and intriguing; the romance is limited but fated; the characters are desperate and determined. SENTINEL OF TALON MOUNTAIN ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
