The SEAL's Surprise Rescue


Rachel McNeely - 2020
    With one failed marriage under her belt, Kat has no intention of letting another man get close to her heart.

He values the camaraderie of his brothers at arms, but has come to terms with the fact his staid life holds little appeal to women — his ex-wife made that more than clear. 
 Kat felt the spark the instant their eyes met across the restaurant. The spark burned hotter when she saved Madison from a would-be car thief, and grew to a flame the more she came to know the soft-spoken SEAL with a solid core of honor and strength.
 For a strong man, Madison is weak when it comes to resisting his feelings for Kat. Beautiful and smart, sweet and vulnerable, she might just be the one woman he’d be willing to surrender himself to, body and soul.
