The Academy Saga, Book I
Suspense Romance
Publisher: BrandlyLight Ink
Kate Connelly should be careful what she wishes for.
Just seventeen, she already feels like she’s suffocating. Since her
mother’s death, her father’s basically checked out, so
she’s stuck raising her brothers by herself out in the New Mexico
scrub. All Kate wants is a little distraction from the same-ole, same-ole
that is her life.
When two mysterious guys show up at the diner where she works, she thinks
her wish has come true, until they start giving her a hard time. Like her
life isn’t hard enough. Something about them niggles her, but she
brushes it off. She’s never going to see them again anyway . . .
right?
Then they appear in an alley one night to either rescue or kidnap her
(she’s still not sure which) before disappearing like figments of her
imagination.
Kate decides to put the bizarre encounters out of her mind. She has bigger
problems to worry about: like that elite military academy that’s been
pursuing her gifted little brother. When one of their cadets shows up in her
small town, he creates instant pandemonium. And just happens to be one of
those mysterious guys. Coincidence? Mama said there’s no such thing.
And to always trust her instinct. But that might be kind of hard, because
every time she’s around Cadet Peter Davenport, her gut starts
flip-flopping on her. And her heart.
Can Kate keep it together long enough to stop Cadet Davenport’s
mission? She’s about to find out. And—once again—how
neatly life can be split into before and after.

The Academy Saga, Book II: Cadet-in-Training
Kate’s destiny has been determined for her.
Hidden out in the country for most her life, Kate Connelly suddenly wakes
up, handcuffed to a hospital bed, in the psyche ward of The Academy. Her
crime? Being “gifted.” And it’s Officer
“Ranger” Nealson’s job to make her adhere to The
Academy’s agenda for her. Even though he’s the one who drugged
and dragged her in.
Kate’s hate for Ranger, and his academy, is at an all-time
high.
Ranger has his work cut out for him . . . and Kate does too. She has to
fight through the rigors of the Cadet-in-Training program, and quickly. If
not, she’ll lose the one privilege she’s been given at The
Academy—access to her precious little brother. And until she graduates
from the CIT program, Officer Nealson is banned from Missions.
When General Weston finally offers a juicy recon to Ranger, he wants to
jump at the chance to prove himself again. After all, catching bad guys is
his thing. Almost all pros for doing it. One con—Cadet Connelly has to
ride along.
The hardened officer finds he’s slowly been growing a soft spot for
his mentee. But he’s determined not to end up like his father, and
former Elite Cadet Pete Davenport—throwing away their career for a
girl (not even a woman). And Kate has lingering feelings for Pete, who
risked his life to warn her, and conflicting feelings for Ranger. She has to
set both aside to focus on completing her first mission.
When the dust settles, old alliances are broken and new ones are formed.
But one thing remains the same: Kate’s destiny has been determined for
her by The Academy. Ready or not . . . she’s set for Missions. Will
one of the former elite cadets step in to help change her fate, or will she
be left to fight the Academy’s agenda alone?

The Academy Saga, III : CAP & Gown
Katie Connelly is nineteen years old but feels like she's been fighting for
survival forever.
When Officer Ranger Nealson offers her a lifeline at The Academy, she
snatches it with both hands. But she soon realizes that her lifeline might
not be enough to keep her afloat and that her mentor might have ulterior
motives. She wouldn't be willing to compromise her principles if it wasn't
for one small thing--her brother Mikey. Her all-encompassing promise to her
mother to protect her brothers causes her to forge forward with Ranger's
master plan. After all, this is likely the best deal she would get at The
Academy, and she and Mikey need all the help they can get to survive in this
cutthroat world.
But during the course of her training, Kate can't help but long for a
different elite cadet. Where is Pete Davenport? He's lost in the wind. Will
he make an appearance before Kate marches into a destiny she's not sure she
wants? Much less can handle. Somewhere along this fast-forward march, Kate
makes a major misstep that costs her biggest ally and forever changes the
lives of everyone she's trying to protect.

About the Author
CJ Daly grew up on the scrabbly plains of Eastern New Mexico. When she was
supposed to be helping her six siblings with chores on the family ranch, she
was really sneaking behind dusty haystacks to read. And dreaming about
becoming a writer.
After graduating high school, CJ moved to Big D, where she quickly put
herself through college while trying to rid herself of her country accent.
She had better luck with college, graduating magna cum laude with a degree
in English literature. After teaching for a few years, and pausing to have
back-to-back boys, she began writing in earnest.
A few years later, The Academy Saga was born. Upon its debut, it became an
instant Amazon Bestseller and earned a Readers’ Favorite seal of
approval. When she isn’t writing, you can usually find CJ running from
one athletic field to another or feeding the wild animals that show up at
her back door. On the weekends she likes to kick back with her gal pals and
sip Texas-sized margaritas while gabbing about their favorite books and TV
series. But CJ’s greatest pleasure is sharing The Academy Saga journey
with you.
