A navy SEAL takes on a death-defying assignment to save the one who got away…
With the island nation of St. Marc erupting in civil war, SEAL Jarrett Adler must rescue the woman he never got over—his alluring ex-wife, Lacey. Jarrett regrets failing her as a husband, and he hopes protecting her will offer a second chance to win her trust.
As charming and sexy as Jarrett still is, Lacey knows he won’t stick around. She’s found her niche in nonprofit work and longs to create a family of her own. But when death threats and bombs arrive at her door, she turns to the man who still holds her heart. Can Jarrett and Lacey navigate their way home—and back into each other’s arms?
This time she’d listen to her broken heart, and not her hormones, even though her heart jumped at the sight of him.
He had never been there for her before, and certainly wasn’t staying now.
Lacey managed to find her voice. “I hope this is a bad dream and I’ll wake up and find you gone.”
Her ex-husband pulled out a chair, turned it around and straddled it. “Well, darling, it seems your nightmare isn’t going away. Neither am I.”
She managed to conceal her trembling hands by wrapping her fingers tight around the beer bottle. Lacey took a deep drink, relishing the cool wash of liquid sliding down her throat. It reminded her of that time after they’d consumed several beers and then he’d kissed her and they had…
Not. Going. There.
“Go away, Jarrett. If you’re here on a mission, aren’t you supposed to be invisible in your invincibility?”
He did not smile. Flickering candlelight on the table revealed the sharp angles and planes of his lean face. Jarrett looked all business.
“You’re my mission. I’m taking you out of here.”

Navy SEAL Seduction began on a warm February evening in a country I often visited for twenty-two years in my work as a humanitarian writer. I sat outside the hotel where I was staying and a group of the president’s security guards crossed the terrace. Suddenly Jarrett, the hero, came to mind as clear as the guns the men carried. I could see Jarrett dining with Lacey, his ex-wife, and feel his worry and fear as Lacey shrugs off the impending violence simmering in the background.
Jarrett is a strong, sexy Navy SEAL who still loves his ex-wife, though he has fought these feelings since the divorce. He is determined to protect Lacey and keep her safe from all harm. Lacey still feels the old passion kindling when she sees Jarrett, but when he was deployed after she miscarried their baby, she felt abandoned. Although he makes her feel alive, and cherished and safe, she can’t risk falling in love with him all over again. But when it becomes clear that someone is targeting Lacey and sabotaging the charity she runs, she realizes Jarrett is the only one she can trust to protect her and her adopted daughter.
Jarrett and Lacey are two people who need a second chance at love. Theirs is a story of passion and love, strength in the face of adversity, and having the courage to do what is right, not what is easy.
I hope you enjoy Navy SEAL Seduction.
Happy reading!
