The
Teplo Trilogy #3
by
Ayden K. Morgen
Genre:
Romantic Suspense
Four
months ago, DEA agent Tristan Riley nearly lost his life and the
disabled ballerina who stole his heart. Now his relationship with
Lillian Maddox is stronger than ever, and he wants nothing more than
to put Teplo
and the Vetrov case behind him. But when Elijah Noel and the deadly
Vetrov drug appear in Los Angeles, Tristan is thrust right back into
the middle of his worst nightmare.
In
order to stop a vicious gang war and keep the drug out of Pedro
Francisco's hands, the DEA agent finds himself wading into unfamiliar
gang territory. The stakes are high, and the body count is even
higher. Los Angeles is nothing like Seattle...and Francisco's people
are a whole new level of terrifying.
When
the DEA jeopardizes Lillian's safety and loses their one shot at
finding the Vetrov drug, Tristan walks away from his job to save her
life. With a rogue ATF agent and Michael Kincaid at his side, he will
stop at nothing to bring her home safely.
Outnumbered,
outgunned, and with his back against the wall, Tristan will find his
resolve tested in ways he never could have imagine. Making a deal
with the devil was never in his plans, but he'll do whatever it takes
to save his ballerina one last time...even if he has to catapult the
entire West Coast into a drug war unlike they've ever seen.

The
Teplo Trilogy #2
After
Anton Vetrov brutally murders a young girl as a warning to Tristan
Riley, the broken DEA agent believes the best thing for Lillian
Maddox to do would be to stay far, far away from him. But Lillian
knows a thing or two about fear, and she's not willing to let the man
she loves push her away that easily. If he won't fight for them, she
will... even if that means risking her life to prove she's strong
enough to live in his world.
Her
plan ends in disaster when she's dragged out of Teplo at
gunpoint, forcing Tristan onto a collision course with the Vetrov
family and Pedro Francisco. With nothing left to lose except the only
woman who has ever mattered to him, he will do whatever it takes to
stop Vetrov and Francisco from ever hurting her again.
But
he doesn't know they've been waiting for him to make his move. When
he does, all hell breaks loose, and his life is on the line. It's up
to Lillian and the DEA to save him, and she's terrified they won't
make it in time.
Thrust
headlong into a violent, bloody confrontation with the Vetrov family,
Lillian comes face to the face with the heartbreaking realization
that maybe she doesn't belong in Tristan's world, after all. When the
smoke clears, will he be able to convince his ballerina that she's
the best thing for him, or will he lose her and the chance at a real
future once and for all?

Ravished
The
Teplo Trilogy #1
When
Tristan Riley drags Lillian Maddox onto the dance floor at Teplo,
he intends only to protect his cover... at least that's what he tells
himself. But the lovely Lillian would tempt a saint, and Tristan is
far from a gentleman. Beneath the bright lights of the Vetrov
family's dangerous club, the weary DEA agent finds himself captivated
by the ballerina, coaxing them both into a reckless, erotic
encounter.
But
Tristan isn't prepared for the intense connection between him and
Lillian, or for the fallout of their tryst. In
a matter of days, their lives careen wildly off course, catapulting
them both into a deadly game of hide and seek with the Vetrov family
and one of Mexico's deadliest drug cartels.
Trying
to keep his hands to himself while working alongside Lillian
to stop Anton Vetrov's deadly new drug proves almost impossible
for Tristan, but what choice does he have when being with her might
get her killed? He should know: his entire family was murdered by
people just like Anton.
When
the stakes are raised and innocent lives are lost, will Tristan be
able to let go of the guilt, or will he destroy his chance at
happiness with Lillian before it ever truly begins?

The
Teplo
Trilogy: Fun Facts
In
the Teplo
Trilogy, a DEA agent falls for a disabled ballerina on the dance
floor at the night club he's investigating. Determined to keep her
safe and do his job, Tristan winds up dragging Lillian into the
middle of his investigation. That goes about as well as you'd expect.
Tears are shed. Blood is spilled. Things explode (literally!).
The
series was pretty challenging to write. I joke that none of it was my
idea and I just tried to talk sense into them along the way because
that's basically how the writing happened with this one. I'd have it
all plotted out…and then they did whatever they wanted to do.
Here
are some other fun facts about the series.
- I wrote the first words of Tristan and Lillian's story over nine years ago. It started out as a short piece of fanfiction…and spiraled from there. Three books and nine years later, it's finally complete!
- Tristan is the most uncooperative and frustrating character I have ever written. There were many times when my beta team had to talk me down because I was ready to off him.
- Teplo means heat in the Czech language. The series is pretty steamy, so the word fit perfectly.
- I'm still embarrassed that my grandma not only read the first two books of the series (sadly, she passed away before the third was complete), but then proceeded to have a conversation with me about her needing a man after reading them. So awkward!
- One of my grad school professors was instrumental in the early stages of writing this series. He helped me out with the cartel research and advised me along the way. Trying to find a happy medium between reality and fiction was tough at times. He was the voice of reason when I wanted to put a little too much reality into the series.
- I loved getting to add ballet to the mix in this series. I've always been a huge fan, and it was a lot of fun getting to write a character who danced for a living.
- Michael Kincaid is probably one of my favorite characters ever, and is always a fan favorite. He's so over-the-top ridiculous at times during this series. I cannot wait until his book comes out later this year and everyone finally gets his story.
- Lillian is kind of a badass. Tristan has a tendency to bulldoze over everyone and everything, but she stands up to him like a champion. They argue a lot until they finally figure it out, but I love a strong woman who isn't afraid to stand up for herself and what she wants and needs. Her strength is also one of Tristan's favorite things about her.
- I once lost a job over writing this series. It was a massive drama at the time. I won the appeal. I didn't ask for my job back though. I figured if they were that bent out of shape over what I write, I didn't belong there.
- Rapture (Book Three) is dedicated to Tevin Campbell. Tristan, Roman, and Michael, three alpha males, team up in the midst of a gang war in the book. They completely annihilated my plot and basically did whatever the 'eff they wanted to do. I blasted Can We Talk for two weeks until they started cooperating. Never negotiate with terrorists! :)
