First, a blast from the past as Ms. Masters shares a few
interviews from the blogosphere where she and her characters answered some
insightful (sometimes prophetic) questions four years ago when this adventure
began. In addition, she has compiled a collection of 13 recipes mentioned in
scenes in these books.
This box set includes the previously combined MASTERS AT
ARMS & NOBODY’S ANGEL, plus NOBODY’S HERO and NOBODY’S PERFECT—all three
with happy endings!
Book 1 (previously combined), MASTERS AT ARMS &
NOBODY’S ANGEL:
MASTERS AT ARMS begins the journey of three men,
each on a quest for honor, acceptance, and to ease his unspoken pain. Their
paths cross at one of the darkest points in their lives. As they try to come to
terms with the aftermath—forging an unbreakable bond—will they ever truly
become masters of their own fates? Or would fate become master of them?
NOBODY’S ANGEL: Marc d’Alessio might co-own a private
kink club with his fellow military veterans, Adam and Damian, but he keeps all
women at a distance. When Marc rescues Angelina Giardano from a disastrous
first experience at his club, however, an uncharacteristic attraction leaves
him torn between his safe, but lonely world, and a possible future with his
angel. While trying to protect Angelina from her abusive ex, though, Marc once
again finds her at the Masters at Arms Club where she turns his safe,
controlled world upside down.
Book 2, NOBODY’S HERO:
Retired Marine Master Sergeant Adam Montague has battled
through four combat zones, but now finds himself retreating from Karla Paxton,
who has declared war on his heart. With a significant age difference, he feels
he should be her guardian and protector, not her lover. But Karla’s knack for
turning up in his bed at inopportune times is killing his resolve to do the
right thing. Karla isn’t the young girl he rescued nine years earlier—something
his body reminds him of every chance it gets.
USA Today Bestselling Book 3, NOBODY’S PERFECT:
Savannah/Savi escaped eleven years of abuse at the hands
of her father and finally made a safe life for herself and her daughter. But
when her father once again threatens her peace of mind—and her daughter’s
safety—Savi runs to Damian Orlando for protection. Eight years earlier as
Savannah (in MASTERS AT ARMS), she shared one perfect day with Damian that
changed both their young lives and resulted in a secret she no longer can hide.
But being with Damian reawakens repressed memories and feelings she wants to
keep buried. After witnessing a scene with Damian on Savi’s first night at his
private club, however, she begins to wonder if he could help her regain control
of her life and reclaim her sexuality and identity.
Damian, a wounded warrior, has had his own dragons to
fight in life, but has never forgotten Savannah. He will lay down his life to
protect her and her daughter, but doesn’t believe he can offer more than that.
She deserves a whole man, something he can never be after a firefight in Iraq.
Damian has turned to SM to regain control of his life and emotions and fulfills
the role of Service Top to “bottoms” at the club. However, he could never
deliver those services to Savi, who needs someone gentle and loving, not the man
he has become.
Will two wounded survivors find love and healing in each
other’s arms?

Excerpt of the Recipe BONUS Section in the box set (one of the 13 recipes shared):
Cassie’s Peruvian Pork Loin
with Spicy Rice (Peruvian Tacu Tacu)
Nobody’s Hero
Pork Loin:
Dry rub (Cassie uses a rub with powdered aji panca, salt,
and brown sugar)
2 lb. pork tenderloin (two loins)
1/2 cup beef broth
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup port wine
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
Pat the meat dry and coat with the dry rub, then put into
an uncovered glass oven-proof baking dish. (If you line it with foil ahead of
time, it makes it easier to clean later and you can use the foil to wrap the
meat after roasting.) Place dish of uncovered meat in refrigerator for a
minimum of 2 hours or even overnight.
In medium bowl, combine broth, marmalade, orange juice,
and port wine together; pour over pork and return to refrigerator for 30
minutes to 2 hours. Turn pork occasionally so all sides are coated by the
sauce. Remove from fridge about 30 minutes before cooking.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place dish on center rack and bake pork with sauce until
thoroughly cooked, about 25-45 minutes until the internal temperature reaches
at least 150 degrees F. (Kally always errs on the side of caution when working
with pork! Use a meat thermometer. Temperature should rise as much as 10
degrees after being removed from oven and 160 degrees after a few minutes
resting is ideal.) Remove from oven.
Cover meat to keep warm.
Pour juices/drippings into a small saucepan. Add
cornstarch. Bring to a slow simmer, stirring frequently, until slightly
thickened.
Uncover and slice meat to desired thickness.
Serve with sauce poured over meat or on the side. See
Spicy Rice recipe below to accompany.
Cassie’s Spicy Rice (Peruvian Tacu Tacu)
1 cup dried brown lentils (7-8 ounces)
7-1/4 cups water, divided
1-1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic, divided
6 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 cup long-grain mix of white and wild rice
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon bottled ají amarillo or ají
mirasol chile paste
In a heavy, medium saucepan, bring lentils, 5 cups water,
and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil; simmer, uncovered, until lentils are just
tender (about 12-25 minutes). Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
In another heavy, 2-quart saucepan, cook 1 teaspoon
garlic over medium heat while stirring for about one minute.
Add rice to garlic pan and cook, continuing to stir for
about a minute.
Add remaining water (2-1/4 cups) and 1 teaspoon salt.
Bring to a boil, then cover and cook over low heat for another 20
minutes.
Remove from heat. Let covered pan stand for about 10
minutes, then using a rubber spatula, stir rice from top to bottom before
adding to lentils mixture.
In a heavy, 12-inch, nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat, sauté onion and remaining teaspoon minced garlic in 1 tablespoon oil
until onion turns a golden color (approximately 3-5 minutes). Add chile paste
and continue to stir 1 minute. Stir onion mixture into rice-lentil bowl.
In same skillet, heat oil over medium temperature until
hot. Add rice-lentils mixture and fry. Use spatula to gently flatten until
golden-brown crust forms on bottom (about 3 minutes), then stir rice-lentils
and fry, flatten it again, until once again a golden-brown crust forms (another
3 minutes). Repeat frying and flattening until the crusty bits are dispersed
throughout the dish (perhaps three more turns, or 9 minutes, for a total frying
time of 15 minutes).
Serve hot with Peruvian pork loin recipe, above.
Hi! I’m Kallypso Masters and I write deeply emotional,
realistic stories of love, healing, and redemption. Each novel ends
happily—because there’s enough uncertainty in life that I don’t want to leave
you hanging. But the Rescue Me Saga is about people who have formed a family of
choice, so they will recur in (read: butt into) each other books (and even
spin-off series books) as they continue to work on issues of life, healing, and
love.
There always seems to be a level of kink/BDSM in my
books. Not necessarily characters who live and breathe the club scene several
times a week, but more those who live the lifestyle on a day-to-day basis from
one end of the spectrum to another. Even those who don’t enjoy reading kinky
books have found these to be enjoyable, compelling page-turners, I think
because the kink is not the main focus of the stories. I dig deeper into these
people’s lives and emotional issues. I also use kink and any other methods
available to help characters heal from the hurts of the world.
My books don’t have predictable, cookie-cutter plots.
Even though a book is in the same series, you can expect different heat levels
and story/plot/character lines that fit each couple perfectly. Just like in
your own family, these people aren’t after the same thing in the same way and
each has a personality of his/her own.
I’ve been writing full-time since May 2011, having quit
my “day job” the month before with no new job in sight. Luckily, readers
latched onto these characters and continue to think about them long after a
book is published, so you won’t see this series come to an end. (And I do not
believe in killing off main characters, so Adam may someday be about 90 but
he’ll still be alive and ticking.) With more than a million copies of my books
on e-readers around the world and two have hit the USA Today Bestseller list
(NOBODY’S PERFECT and NOBODY’S DREAM, the last release), so readers are still
wanting more.
I live in rural Kentucky with my hubby of 32 years. Mr.
Ray (as he became known by fans at KallypsoCon 2014) provided me with my own
Happily Ever After despite having sworn off marriage and men at the age of 23
after a childhood of abuse. Funny what love can do to us to change our
perspective, isn’t it? That theme comes up in my books time and time again.
We have two adult children, one adorable grandson (Master
Erik, who makes frequent appearances on my Facebook timeline), and a rescued
dog. (Our daughter moved home while finishing training for a new career and
brought her rescued cat back with her, too!)
