Protecting Pippa


Debra Parmley - 2018
    Pippa has never done one-night stands. She doesn’t even date. Because she is hiding from her crazy ex husband on the other side of the country and hoping he never shows up to kill her. The last time she’d seen him, he’d had his hands around her neck squeezing tight. Before she’d blacked out. After she came to, she knew she’d need to leave this house, and him forever, she’d vowed to stay away from men. Because they often weren’t what they seemed. But the chance to have one night to remember behind the safe anonymity of wearing a mask combined with the fact she hadn’t had sex in over a year, created a situation where she didn’t stop herself from saying yes. Tanner “Diesel” Taylor is a SEAL one of the most responsible men on the planet. So responsible that when his mother died while he was in high school, he helped his father run the garage and supported his four siblings.

Neither counted on making a baby. He asks for her number, but being afraid he’ll turn out to be just another bad choice in men she refuses to give it to him. Two years later he finds her and his son. But he arrives on her doorstep too late. Her ex has been released from prison and is furious that she’s had another man’s child. A son that should have been his. When Tanner arrives, Pippa and his son have already been abducted by a man who just served time in prison for felonious assault and nearly beating a man to death in a bar. Now Diesel must get them back. Pippa, abducted by her ex, who seems even crazier than before, is terrified for herself and for her baby. She is out of hope and doesn’t know a SEAL is coming to her rescue.

 But trouble’s never far away. The vandalism escalates. For Nick, the stakes are personal now, and when it becomes a matter of life and death, there’s no man he’d rather have on his team than Keane “Ghost” Bryson—long-time friend and Delta Force officer…
