Kim Baldwin & Xenia Alexiou

Kim Baldwin has published eight novels and five short stories with Bold Strokes Books. Her latest release is Breaking the Ice. Four of her solo books have been finalists for awards, and she is a 2008 recipient of an Alice B. Readers Appreciation Award. After 20 years as a network news journalist, she returned to her home state of Michigan to live in a cabin in the woods, but she keeps her passport and camera handy to hit the road whenever possible. 


Xenia Alexiou is Greek and lives in Europe.  An avid reader and knowledge junkie, she likes to travel all over the globe and take pictures of the wonderful and interesting people that represent different cultures. Trying to see the world through their eyes has been her most challenging yet rewarding pursuit so far. These travels have inspired countless stories, and it's these stories that she is grateful for the opportunity to write about. The Elite Operatives Series is her first published work. Her first book, Lethal Affairs, won the Lesbian Fiction Readers Choice Award in the adventure category.

Missing Lynx (February 2010)

Missing Lynx by Kim Baldwin & Xenia Alexiou

Where do you run when there's nowhere to hide?

When a sadistic serial killer known as the Headhunter resurfaces, a government blunder forces the Elite Operatives Organization into action. Operation Mask falls to Lynx. She has the determination, skills, and most importantly, the right profile, but her youth and lack of experience in the field could put more than the mission in jeopardy.


Her search takes her deep into the jungles of Asia, where she must battle not only the ruthless purveyors of the international skin trade, but also her growing feelings for a mysterious mercenary with her own agenda for the Headhunter.

Thief of Always

 

Thief of Always by Kim Baldwin & Xenia Alexiou

Excerpt

Stealing a diamond to save the world is the easy part. 

Mishael Taylor takes comfort in speed, racing from one mission to another as Allegro, one of the Elite Operative Organization’s top agents—or from one affair to another, to avoid having to think about the things she’s seen and done. Cocky, confident, and used to winning, Mishael confronts her greatest challenge when she’s assigned to steal the priceless Blue Star Diamond from Dutch countess Kristine Marie van der Jagt. Not only must she win a high-stakes race with Arab terrorists and Neo-Nazis, she also has to contend with a target who has somehow managed to steal her heart.
