About this ebook

Spies, the NSA, a car crash, and a widow all have a place in this story, After losing her husband and son in a car crash, the widow innocently googles the name Adam Carmichael after seeing his picture in the newspaper. Why would she be dreaming of this jet-setting man? With the exception of that man, she has a reference point for her dreams.
Little did she know that inquiry would be captured by the NSA and lead to an investigation by the CIA. Agent Tony Jefferies is working undercover and has infiltrated a major mafia family with ties to terrorism. If she remembers him, his cover might be blown. His new mission is to investigate why she is searching for him after all this time.
It doesn’t take long for Agent Jefferies to realize she has no recollection of him at the scene of the fatal accident or for him to fall in love. Tony Jefferies, aka Adam Carmichael, mafia hitman, has fallen deeply in love. He must maintain his cover to complete the investigation, but he also wants a chance at a normal life with this woman. His fear...will the woman he calls honey forgive him when she learns of the investigation and deception that brought them together?

Author

J. L. Brandenburg

J. L. Brandenburg is a freelance writer, poet, trade publication contributor and now e-reader/print book author. She belongs to the Military Romance and Suspense Writers club, Mystery/Suspense writers, Thrill Writers, and Writers Unite, writers and critique groups. J. L. describes herself as ‘a purposeful writer, but an accidental author.’ Life as a writer began journaling in notebooks. Bonanza was her favorite show and she wrote what is now called Fanfiction type of stories. In her youth, her imagination was vivid, leading to embellishing everyday stories. Her sixth-grade teacher handed her a notebook and shared, ‘saying untruths out loud is called lying, but writing them on paper is called fiction,’ which was advice she took to heart. During her career, she contributed stories to trade journals geared toward Social Workers, which is her background and degree. Her writing style is influenced by a variety of things. Writers, such as Len Deighton, Michael Crichton, Robert Ludlum, Tom Clancy, David Baldacci, R.B. Parker, Nora Roberts, and Patricia Cornwell are particular favorites. The characters in the Honey Saga exhibit a great work ethic, which was consistently modeled by her mother and ex-husband. Outside influences such as domestic violence and religious practices also find their way into many of her stories. She prefers books that follow a central set of characters which allows the reader to develop a deeper and ongoing relationship with the stories. Ms. Brandenburg states her personal life philosophy is to do the right thing all the time even when no one is looking. This puts her character Tony Jefferies, aka Adam Carmichael, in direct opposition to her core value. The Honey Saga tells the story of the undercover agent’s desire to return to a “regular” life when he falls in love with a widow. These books are written as an example that older individuals still hope to find true love, can be insecure or have doubts, all which can be magnified in a youth-oriented society. The author says Joni and Adam are older than many main characters. They bring their baggage as well as flawed expectations into their relationship. J. L. Brandenburg was born in Vincennes, Indiana, but now resides in Central Illinois with her teenaged children, two cats, and three dogs.
