SABOTAGE AT SEA
On his cousin’s Christmas cruise wedding, navy SEAL Jordan Somerton anticipated having the typical best man duties—not facing down criminals boarding the ship. But when the luxury liner is infiltrated by men determined to kidnap the flower girl, he’s plunged into an unexpected mission. Maid of honor and DEA agent Amy Delgado hasn’t forgiven Jordan for a misunderstanding in their pasts. But with her young niece targeted, she must draw on Jordan’s skills as a protector. Signs point to an inside job. With a traitor in their midst, can they ensure that every passenger returns home safely for the holidays...even as they find love amid deepening danger?
Where would they be safe?
Out of the corner of her eye, Amy saw a closed door to what looked like a small storage closet. But as she turned toward it, she ran directly into an unmoving chest.
Large hands clamped on both of her shoulders, surrounding Elaina and stopping her midstep. “Amy? Are you all right? I thought I heard someone screaming.”
She had to peer all the way up into his face to get a good look at Jordan, but even then her eyes wouldn’t quite focus on him.
“Amy.” His tone was clipped, his eyes darting from her to Elaina and back. “What’s wrong?”
Everything in her melted. She hadn’t even known she’d wanted his help, but now that he was here, she recognized him for exactly what they needed. “Someone’s chasing us. Shot at us.”
If he needed to think through his actions, it took him only a fragment of a second. He grabbed them both, shifting them out of the line of view of the stairwell. “Stay right here. Don’t move.”
Thank you for joining Jordan and Amy and me on this adventure. I hope you enjoyed reading their story as much as I enjoyed writing it. In fact, I’ve loved writing about all of the men of SEAL Team Fifteen, these men of valor.
When I wrote the first book in the series more than five years ago, I had no idea that I’d get to explore the lives of all six of these amazing men, but I’ve loved discovering their humor, their personalities and their matches. Love has a way of changing us, but only if we open ourselves up to it.
I hope you’ll open your heart to love—especially the love of God, which is greater than we can ever imagine.

For Amy, the best kind of friend.
I’m so thankful for you!
And for all of the second chance sweethearts, whose love is richer because of forgiveness.
