Description:

It’s quite a blow to the team to lose the ambassador to Niger, especially when they were warned of the threat. But whomever is behind the death, it’s not the simple terrorists who take credit for it. Gator suspects it goes much deeper and is all about the presence of the U.S. in West Africa. While the SEALs work with the CIA to secure Niger and the embassy, a replacement ambassador shows up to take over the running of the busy embassy and the staff. Gator is knocked for a loop at the sight of Isabelle Theriot, someone from his past. He can’t seem to get her off his mind, and when his creole blood stirs, there’s plenty of heat generated.

Isabelle is saddened by the loss of the ambassador, but she’s been sent on a mission, and everything regarding that mission is classified. Keeping secrets from Navy SEALs could become problematic and soon gets tense once Gator recognizes her as the woman who had saved him and his teammate. Gator isn’t keen on her being in charge and thinks a new ambassador has a target on her back, but he has his orders. She tells him that’s why he will be her bodyguard. As they dig deeper, they discover where the threat is coming from and why. It’s a world-changing revelation. Can Isabelle and Gator manage to handle not only the secrets she keeps, but the political, emotional and physical aspects of an affair that both of them may want to become permanent…if they survive.

She was the designated target of a cold-blooded killer….

Dr. Kelly Hu is now a Coast Guard reservist with an exciting and busy life as a San Diego NCIS medical examiner, her heart in tatters. With two identically murdered bodies in her morgue—a Coast Guard doctor and a Navy nurse, Kelly runs into Coast Guard rescue swimmer, Jason Hollow. It has been six years since they parted, six years since their illicit affair could have gotten both of them court-martialed, six years since she gave birth to their daughter, a daughter he knows nothing about. Even now, it’s dangerous for them to get involved. What if the coast guard finds out she and Jason had broken the rules? They could both go to jail for their transgressions. She doesn’t want to take the chance, no matter how she still feels about him.

Jason is now a CGIS special agent after he hurt his shoulder in a fall during a rescue at sea. Seeing Kelly again makes him realize that he has unresolved feelings for her. He’s there to handle a Coast Guard homicide, but the circumstances of the identical murders have NCIS and CGIS working together. Once the investigation begins, it’s clear that they’re dealing with a serial killer. As she’s targeted by the serial killer, Jason refuses to leave her side, elated by the news that he’s a father and devastated by Kelly keeping that secret all this time. How can he forgive her? How do they resolve his parental right to have contact with his daughter, and how can he claim her as his own or trust Kelly ever again? He needs the time to work out his pain and anger, and the feelings he still harbors for Kelly while protecting her from a killer intent on taking her life, taking everything.

Description:

What do aircraft carriers and Navy SEALs have in common? Plenty and Bondo and the team head to the USS John Paul Jones to train the crew and innovate the process of fighting battles with near-peer adversaries like Russia and China. The world was changing and the United States Navy, a formidable power on the ocean with the capability of striking inland, needed to keep pace. Both superpowers were busy fortifying against airstrikes from carriers, and Special Warfare Operators who were adept at getting into places and eliminating obstacles were their best lethal weapons. Bondo has mixed feelings about this mission. The USS John Paul Jones was Petty Officer First Class Cameron Ryan’s duty station. The engineer had helped them complete a mission recently and thrown Bondo into personal crisis when he found himself deeply attracted to the sassy redhead. But why was he worrying? An aircraft carrier had thousands of sailors on board. What were the odds they would even come into contact?

With a huge division of aircraft mechanics, why did they have to divert her from fixing F-18s to working on the specialized subs the Navy SEALs deployed? Cameron wasn’t exactly trying to avoid the tall, gorgeous, dangerous-to-her-heart man, but being in the Navy and deployed at sea made a relationship with anyone complicated. Bondo was especially problematic because he had some issues with his past and the loss of his wife and child. To get over those kinds of hurdles, long separations hindered intimacy and forging bonds. Maybe hot sex would alleviate their interest and an affair would eventually cool. But could she take that chance?
