As an event planner, Gillian Romano’s an expert at rolling with the punches and solving unexpected problems. But her flight getting hijacked while returning from a job is definitely out of her skill set. Passengers are being murdered, and when she’s chosen by the terrorists to be their mouthpiece, even more innocent lives rest on Gillian’s shoulders. Only the calm, reassuring voice on the other … other end of the line keeps her sane, forging a bond with a stranger she’s never seen but trusts with her life.
Walker “Trigger” Nelson and his Delta Force team have spent years training for close-quarter hostage rescue. When they get called to South America to attempt to save an airplane full of hostages, he doesn’t expect to meet a woman who rocks his world in the middle of the op. Gillian’s cool head and bravery in the face of certain terror—and possible death—blows him away. Any outcome that doesn’t include Gillian leaving that plane alive and well is not an option.
After their safe return to Texas, both Trigger and Gillian are excited to find out if their instant chemistry can survive the real world. Neither realizing that someone isn’t happy with the outcome of the hijacking, and is watching, waiting, for a second chance to strike.
** Shielding Gillian is the 1st book in the Delta Team Two Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Shielding Gillian starts right in the middle of the action with a hijacking and Delta Force in for the rescue! When Gillian and Walker “Trigger” Nelson are thrown together in unusual circumstances, sparks truly fly. Gillian is such a relatable character, and Trigger is a sexy alpha who will always be there to defend and protect. This is an exciting romance packed with suspenseful and steamy moments that will have you flipping the pages to find out what happens next! I look forward to Lefty and Kinley’s story!!
I’m having a Stoker binge while on my Easter Break, quarantined with nowhere to go but into the minds of authors.
If you like over the top, corny, protective heroes then you’re in the right place. Along side me, reading and loving these worlds and their characters.
Kidnapping, danger, drama and lots of fun and loving made for a great story. I loved it and highly recommend this new series, heck I recommend all the series lol
“Shielding Gillian” is the first book in a brand new series by Susan Stoker and another series is off to an amazing start. Gillian Romano is an event planner whose plane is highjacked on her way home, she is a great event planner but when told to be the voice of the hijackers she is not to sure how to handle that. Walker “Trigger” Nelson and his Delta Force team have been sent to South America to attempt to save this plane full of innocent people but he never expects to meet his Wonder Woman. Trigger is amazed at how calm and brave Gillian is, but it is his reassuring voice that keeps Gillian’s head where it needs to be. When things end in South America and everybody gets back home, it seems that maybe the hijackers aren’t through and definitely not happy with the original outcome.
This one is loaded with suspense, friends, angst and wonderful characters!
Captive story line with great characters
Ms Stoker never disappoints! Trigger is a tough alpha male who doesn’t treat Gillian as a ‘little woman’ who cant look after herself. Gillian is strong, witty, clever and is genuinely kind to everyone. I loved their action packed story!
An interesting story. I had met the Delta team in previous stories so was really looking forward to hearing about their HEA. I’m not sure that I entirely care for the narrating. Her rendering made the story seem almost cheesy at times. That may not be entirely accurate but the best way I can describe it right now.
Love this series. Great military romance by Susan Stoker.
Loved it!! Can’t go wrong with Susan Stoker!!
A romantic suspense with a Delta Force alpha male and a kick-butt heroine, what more is there to love!
Well worth the time to read! I love strong woman & alpha males that can respect the womans’ strength. I really enjoyed this book, it pulled me in to another time & space.
This is part of series
I love this author.
Strong female lead, hot alpha male, action and heat. Susan Stoker delivers, again!
Loved the story. Never know what can change your life.
This is the first book in the Delta Team Two Series and features team leader, Walker “Trigger” Nelson, and event planner Gillian Romano. These two meet when the plane she’s on is hijacked and flown to Venezuela. Gillian is chosen by the hijackers to be spokesperson and Trigger and his team take over negotiations. When the smoke clears and the bad guys are dead the danger for Gillian is not over. Neither is the instant connection the two felt. This book starts off with a bang and the action is non stop. There is a hijacking, rescue, another threat, a sweet dating process, meeting the friends, doubts, more danger, hot steamy scenes and a very protective alpha male that doesn’t know what hit him!
I love All of Susan Stoker books!
I love this author and the book was as good as I had hoped it would be.
A very good addition to Stoker’s world of heroes, and start on a new team.
Love this series. Great suspense and romance.
As with all Susan Stoker books this one will have you laughing, crying, screaming at the characters and believing in real heroes. Shielding Gillian is our introduction to the next generation of Delta Heroes. If this is your introduction to her stories you picked a good one to start with and can always go back and read about the first Delta team later if you want.
We have our extremely alpha take charge guy who will lay it all on the line to protect the woman he’ll realize is destined to be his. There are some heartfelt touching moments, and also those that may hit a bit close to home. There is an element of realism in the writing that gets me every single time.
