How Deadly Ops Began
Katie Reus, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, crafted Deadly Ops from her lifelong love of romance, sparked by sneaking novels from her mom’s stash. With a psychology degree and a knack for storytelling, Reus transitioned from reader to writer, channeling her passion into thrilling romantic suspense. Launched in 2013, Deadly Ops was born to captivate fans with its blend of covert intrigue and heartfelt connections, drawing inspiration from real-world espionage and emotional depth.
The Heart of Deadly Ops
The series kicks off with Targeted (2013), where NSA agent Jack Stone, haunted by his past, reunites with Sophie Moreno, his teenage love, in a mission rife with betrayal and drug-smuggling dangers. Bound to Danger (2014) follows Maria Cervantes, who survives a terrorist explosion, teaming with ex-Marine Cade O’Reilly to thwart a deadly plot. The novella Chasing Danger (2015) dives into NSA agent Dax Costas’s steamy protection detail for Hannah Young, stalked by a relentless enemy. A Covert Affair (2016), the final book, reunites NSA operative Nathan Ortiz with Amelia Rios, his first love, in a tense investigation of missing women.
Deadly Ops thrives on themes of second chances, trust, and resilience, set against Miami’s vibrant backdrop. Reus masterfully balances heart-pounding action—think explosions and sniper chases—with emotional depth, as characters navigate past heartbreaks and present dangers. Her alpha heroes, often ex-military, pair with strong, independent women, creating chemistry that sizzles amid espionage and betrayal.
