Book excerpt: High seas terror and international intrigue all wrapped up in homegrown problems of the loved-and-lost-and-found-again variety… Rescuing hostages trapped on a yacht in the middle of the open ocean is a routine mission for an elite SEAL like Brett. But when one of the hostages turns out to be his ex-girlfriend and her kids, the same-old, same-old takes a turn for the discombobulating. Particularly because she's single again… As a way to heal, Ceci walked away from Brett years ago, straight into another intense relationship. Now she's a widow raising two kids. Her plan to stay single and safe from heartbreak feels a million miles away when she comes face-to-face with her rescuer--the man she's never been able to forget. Unfortunately, "safe" is no longer in the cards anymore…in life or love. military romance; military; mystery and suspense; Action and adventure; Navy SEAL romance; SEAL; alpha hero; Romantic Suspense; Mystery; Suspense; light action; romance; Hero, strong female;
