The Victory Novellas - Volume One: #EverStrike and Here with Me

By Natalie J. Damschroder

Two stories in this collection

#EverStrike

Everly Deveau (business owner, volunteer, quiet force of nature) and Strike Prescott (movie star, volunteer, will do anything for his friends), have been doing the will they/won't they for a while now. (He will, she won't.) After sharing an adventure and helping to save a friend, Everly finally pushed past her fears to give a relationship a try. Then she chickened out because she has a history of friends and more-than-friends finding her lacking and drifting away. She can't handle it if Strike does, too.

Strike has accepted being friend-zoned (for now) without giving up hope of convincing Everly that they're destined for more. When they get sucked into another adventure, motivations get called into question on both sides. Strike doesn't have to save Everly's life, but if he plays things right, he could just save their future.

Here with Me

Sage Walters has a problem. Someone is trying to steal her data, probably to sell it to a competitor. Luckily, she used to work for a company that can deal with problems like that. Her old boss and colleagues at Victory are all too eager to help her trap the culprit. Well, all except one. She assumes Royce Shreiver, the guy who stole her heart and never gave it back-even though he tried hard enough-will find something more pressing to do. It is almost Christmas, after all.

Royce is on a personal job when he gets the call from his boss, but when he learns the person who needs his help is Sage, there's no question he'll be there. He owes her, after the way things ended two years ago. When her simple in-house espionage situation escalates, he realizes that what stopped him from being with her before is no longer an obstacle. But the way he handled it is. Maybe it's not too late, but before he can dredge up the courage to try, they have to make sure she survives to Christmas Eve.

#Everstrike takes place after the events in Victory in Action, book 3 of the Victory Series. Here with Me continues after book 4 of the main series. Mild spoilers are included, but the stories stand alone. If you prefer to start at the beginning, Victory on the Edge is the first title in the series.
