SEAL's HONOR
Take No Prisoners Series
Blurb:
Two
Navy SEALs jeopardize their lives and hearts in a battle-torn land when they
vie for the love of one sexy Night Stalker helicopter pilot
Reed
Tucker doesn’t believe in commitment, not when you’re a SEAL deployed in
dangerous situations that could lead to death or dismemberment. Until he
tangles the sheets with one hot pilot, Delaney O’Connell. His phobia against
commitment is challenged when his best friend asks Delaney O’Connell to marry
him and she doesn’t say no.
As
a helicopter pilot for the 160th Night Stalkers, Delaney O’Connell
knows the risks of loving a SEAL. She’s ferried her share of soldiers and
frogmen into and out of danger. All she asks is that Tuck own up to his love for
her. When he allows his friend to ask her to marry him without staking his own
claim, she’s hurt and disappointed. When his friend loses an arm in battle, she
can’t refuse his hand in marriage, not when he’s sacrificed so much for his
country. In love with one man, about to marry another, she’s torn. Caught in a
triangle of his own making, Tuck can’t dishonor his friend by stealing his
fiancé.
Tuck
and Delaney must come to grips with the happiness they owe themselves and the
happiness of their friend who has given so much of himself.
Excerpt:
When
she emerged from the shower tent, wearing her flip flops and carrying her boots
and uniform, a shadow slipped up beside
her.
Before
she could throw her boots at him, he slipped an arm around her waist, crushing
her back against his front and clamping a hand over her mouth.
"Shh.
It's me, Tuck." He dropped his hand from her mouth and turned her to face
him.
"Damn
it, Tuck. You can't go around scaring a girl to death all the time."
"You
were so deep in thought, I'd have startled you either way. At least this way I
get to hold you in my arms for a moment."
He
wore a tank top, gym shorts and tennis shoes.
"How'd
you find me?"
"I
pulled a few strings." He bent to sweep her lips with his. "Are you
mad?"
"I
don't want anyone getting the idea we're fraternizing."
He
eased her into the deeper shadows between a tent and a Quonset hut made of
sturdy metal. "How's this?"
She
raised her arms, pressed her body into his, her damp towel, T-shirt and flight
suit dangling down his back. "Better." All he had to do was part her
robe and...
Tuck
slid his hand up the back of her thigh and beneath the edge of her robe,
cupping her naked bottom. She'd gone to the shower with only her robe and what
she'd been wearing, so flustered by her talk with Lindsay, she'd forgotten
clean underwear and her pajamas.
Now
she was glad she had.
