SEAL'd Trust

Or at least, that was the plan... I knew I had promises to keep and plans to follow, but then, life plopped a mission in my lap that all my years of training couldn't have prepared me for. ... An overdressed, heavily made up, five-foot package of pure pain in the ass. KATE: I could say that I didn't trust men, but that's not entirely true. I didn't trust myself not to get involved with exactly the wrong kind of men. I moved to this town to get away from all that, and the last thing I needed right now was an ex-Navy SEAL jock like Max, getting in the way of my new life. Tall, muscly, and with a jumbo sized ego? No thank you. I made a promise to myself that I'd do better than that, and I didn't care how damn attractive or mysterious he was. I needed to get back on my feet, find a new job and lick my wounds. Then why was he all I could think about? And why did he have to move in right next door? ...

JASE (SEAL Investigations Book 1)
Lola Silverman - 2016
So when my commanding officer requested that I go check up on his baby sister, I was understandably less than thrilled. Just because Rachel’s roommate thinks that Rachel got herself kidnapped doesn’t make it true. Rachel is notorious for her bad decisions and I have no doubt that Rachel’s equally silly roommate has likely blown things way out of proportion. It took me less than a day to realize that Cassidy Cross is not an alarmist or a piece of brainless feminine fluff. The woman has a formidable brain, a fierce sense of loyalty, and a strong desire to find her friend. Of course, the task of finding Rachel might have been a hell of a lot easier if Cassidy would have backed off and just let me do my job. The woman is in my way every time I turn around. Her and that amazing body of hers are going to get us both killed. The woman might be so beautiful that my brain fogs over every time she smiles, but a woman has no place in my investigation. CASSIDY I’m not sure the phrase “sexist pig” quite covers the guy that Rachel’s older brother sent to help me find her. My roommate was kidnapped. I watched it happen for goodness sake and this man practically refuses to believe me until the bullets are flying and someone is trying to throw us off Rachel’s trail. Now I’m stuck with a hard headed classic American male who looks like he belongs on the cover of the military issue of GQ. How can the man be so incredibly attractive and annoying all at the same time? Of course I’d really better get my head on straight and stop worrying about how badly I want to kiss him and start thinking about who’s trying to kill us. Rachel doesn’t have much time and I refuse to give up. Surrender is not an option…
