Set in the fictional port‑city metropolis of Blackridge, Oregon, the Blackridge Saga follows a fifteen‑year journey through loyalty, danger, and the bonds of chosen family.

At the center is Morgan Callahan, a brilliant and relentless corporate security agent whose team has become her closest circle. Alongside her are Sargo, her lover and bodyguard; Anthony Ditelli, a seasoned bounty hunter; Gregor, Anthony’s adopted son; Dr. Joan Rhinehart, the team’s steady voice of wisdom; and Olivia Nelson, Morgan’s devoted assistant who carries with her a cherished reminder of what once was.

Together, they navigate the murky world of corporate rivals, assassins, and hidden agendas while serving Walter Davenhurst, the aging chairman of the powerful DanyCrom Corporation. Unbeknownst to them, a dangerous enemy watches from the shadows — plotting against Walter at every turn.

BLACKRIDGE: Scavenger Hunt

​​

The first book of the Blackridge Saga introduces Morgan Callahan, a determined young woman striving to honor her late father, Renner. Eager to prove she can protect Walter Davenhurst—the aging tycoon who once trusted Renner with his life—Morgan convinces Walter to let her take over his personal security, despite the risks that come with the job.

​

Their first assignment is to uncover what the ambitious and calculating Vanda Devon is planning. Vanda is pushing her company toward a breakthrough that seems revolutionary—or deceptively ordinary—and she’ll stop at nothing to seize the recognition she craves. Her scheme involves stealing plans from a mysterious corporation, one that responds to any breach of its secrets with lethal force.

​

As Morgan and Walter dig deeper, they find themselves caught between Vanda’s ruthless ambition and a shadowy organization willing to kill anyone who comes into contact with their stolen information.

Meanwhile, Walter Davenhurst receives devastating news: a murder has occurred inside one of his secret facilities in a remote, desolate corner of the world. Determined to shield Morgan from the danger, he sends Sargo and Anthony Ditelli to protect his son, Thomas Davenhurst, while he seeks to uncover the truth behind the killing — and the darkness that may be spreading far beyond the facility’s walls.

​

Meanwhile, Morgan and Sargo receive an urgent call from Dr. Jourdan, who believes they finally have a chance to catch a killer who has eluded them for far too long.

Morgan and her team have begun to question the true source of the troubles that have plagued them. They have lost some of their own, and they have watched Walter keep secrets behind his genial, fatherly façade.

​

Now, alone and desperate for answers, Morgan is forced to confront the past when Dr. Jourdan returns to Blackridge with information that may save them both.

​

Enter Victoria McNamara, a skilled and striking security agent assigned to track down the remaining enemy operatives — and to protect Colden during their mission abroad.
