Captain Alexa Culver takes one look at shy, quiet Marine sniper Gage Hunter and feels an instant connection. But Gage has demons in his past that keep him from giving it to their mutual attraction. Alexa believes Gage is worth fighting for, and begins to slowly chip away at his defenses.

Gage Hunter has lost everyone he has ever loved. Lonely and broken, the last thing he expects is to meet someone like Alexa Culver. The redheaded beauty is confident and outgoing and makes Gage feel emotions he thought long buried. But before he risks revealing his heart
to her she is kidnapped by the Taliban while on a humanitarian mission. Can Gage reach her before he loses his chance for love forever?

Excerpt: 

“The ‘if only’s’ of life plague both of us,” Alexa offered him, looking deep into his troubled blue eyes, which were filled now with agony. “If only I hadn’t decided to go out to that village. If only I didn’t believe in helping others who have less than I do.” Alexa reached up, brushing a few strands of hair off his furrowed brow. “But there are positive ‘if only’s’ too, Gage. If only I hadn’t decided at the last minute to meet Matt at the canteen. I wouldn’t have met you. If only I hadn’t kissed you in the Humvee . . . well, you know the rest.”
She gave him a sad smile, her hand grazing his face, all her love in that touch. “If only you didn’t have the courage to kiss me back. We can’t live our lives in that kind of tortured state. We can only do our best at the time, Gage. That’s as good as it’s going to get for all of us.”
“I know you’re right,” he offered gruffly, moving his fingers along her shoulders, feeling the heat of her skin beneath the fabric. “There are better days when I can put it in that perspective. And then there are worse days when I sink down into the guilt regarding Jen. My one act got not only her murdered but my dad as well. And it broke my mother in ways I can’t even begin to imagine.”
She whispered his name, leaning up, her lips brushing his mouth. He’d withheld so much pain from the past. Her fingers gliding upward, framing his face, she opened her lips, feeling his hungry response to her, hearing a groan come from deep within him. For this one moment, Alexa wanted to give back to Gage. Yes, she’d had part of her soul destroyed by the captivity and torture. She knew she’d never get it back. But Gage? He had been a thirteen-year-old boy who had been snared in a circumstance no one could have foreseen.
Her heart opened wide, wanting to surround Gage with angel wings, wanting to give back to him all the love, care, and tenderness he’d always effortlessly given her. This was the man she loved. And that had never been clearer than it was right now.

Navy SEAL Chief Wyatt Lockwood is fascinated by Marine sniper Captain Talia Culver. But she wants nothing to do with him after learning of his reputation as a
heartbreaker. The cocky Texan refuses to take the hint and keeps placing
himself in Tal’s path. When she agrees to help him tend to needy families in an
Afghan village, she learns there’s more to this SEAL than meets the eye. But is
she strong enough to risk having her heart broken again?

Wyatt can’t stay away from the beautiful, surly Marine. Tal is fascinating—and
frustrating—and he is determined to crack through her tough exterior and get to
know the soft woman he knows lurks beneath the surface. When he joins Tal on a
sniper mission in the Afghan mountains, their bond continues to grow. But the mission takes a dangerous turn. Has he lost his chance with Tal forever?

EXCERPT:

Realizing she craved another cup of Turkish coffee, Tal pushed back in her black leather chair and stood. As she turned, she gasped. Wyatt stood in the doorway, a welcoming grin on his face. He was dressed in civilian clothes of jeans and a dark blue cowboy shirt with pearl buttons down the front of it. His hands were on his hips. He wore an old leather bomber jacket that made him look like the rogue he was. Plus a black baseball cap with the SEAL logo embroidered in gold on the front of it.
“Wyatt!” she gasped.
“Made the flight in a little early, darlin’,” he drawled, stepping into the office and opening his arms to her.
Tal still limped on her newly healed ankle. She wore a special boot that had a brace within it to shore up her weak ankle for now. She didn’t fly to him as she would have before her injury, but she certainly wanted to! Joyful shock worked through her as she saw him for the first time without his shaggy hair and beard. He was much more handsome now that she could see his full face. His gray eyes sparkled with warmth as he walked toward her with that casual, boneless grace of his. But before he did, he pushed the door closed with the heel of his cowboy boot. 
“Come here,” he growled, sliding his arms around Tal, bringing her against him.
Tal whispered his name as she lifted her mouth to his descending one. The scent of sage soap entered her nostrils. He was clean-shaven, his hair now cut military short. In jeans and a cowboy shirt, Wyatt looked more like a male model than the badass SEAL he really had been. Joy flowed through her as he brought his mouth down to hers, and she eagerly returned his deep kiss. There was nothing tame about this meeting, his arms closing tightly around her, her breasts pressed fully against his chest. He tasted of mint toothpaste, his masculine scent making her lower body explode with violent need in every possible way.
Reluctantly, they eased from their kiss, staring at one another in silence except for their ragged breathing.
“How did you get here so soon?” Tal finally whispered, stepping out of his arms.
“I took an earlier flight,” he said. Holding her hands and giving her a critical look, he said, “You look like a CEO, Tal. Nice-looking black wool pantsuit, bright red silk blouse, and hey, you’re even wearing gold earrings. I like your hair up on your head. Did your mom help you with it?”
Tal laughed. “No. But Mom is teaching me the fine art of hairstyling. I can clean up every once in a while, Lockwood.”
Wyatt chuckled, releasing one hand and bringing over a chair next to hers at her desk. “You did this just for me, darlin’?” He led her over to her chair, watching her limp as she walked.
Tal carefully sat down. Her ankle wasn’t flexible yet, as much as she wished it was. She watched Wyatt take off his leather coat and absorbed his powerful chest and broad shoulders. He hung it on the back of his chair and sat down, his gaze pinned on her. Tal could feel him intently checking her out. She’d missed that, and it felt good to have that kind of caring aimed directly at her. 
“All for you, cowboy. I usually wear jeans and a long-sleeve tee, if you want to know the truth. We were going to pick you up at the airport in a couple of hours and I wanted to look nice for you.”
“You do.” Wyatt gestured to her ankle. “You’re limping pretty well, too. How’s the physical therapy going?”
Tal pointed to the cane leaning against her desk. “I’m supposed to use that when I walk, but I hate it. I’m just not going to do it, Wyatt.” She saw him nod and give her a sympathetic look. “I do PT three times a week. My ankle’s still pretty stiff but slowly responding over time. Not fast enough for me, though.”
“It’s tough for a racehorse to suddenly be put out to pasture when she’s used to winning her races.”
Tal leaned back in her chair. “Yes.” 
“How’s the transition been going for you as the new CEO of Artemis Security?” Wyatt asked. “You don’t say much in our Skype calls or in emails.”
“Because it’s all top secret.”
“Yeah, I got that.” Wyatt looked around, approval in his expression. “Nice digs. State-of-the-art, from the looks of it.” He gestured toward the huge windows. “Bulletproof glass, to boot. Nice call.” 
“Yes. We’re on full alert at Artemis.” She frowned. “Even though we’re camouflaged as a working hydroponic organic farm, one of our many enemies might one day find out where we’re operating and try to destroy us.” 
“Yeah,” he said heavily, “I know. So, you got the latest materials to make this place less visible to passing satellites?” He peered up at the ceiling, checking it out.
“Yes, we’re completely immune to any unwanted invasion by electronic device, drone, laser, infrared, heat sensors, or satellite snooping with their facilities. The walls are made of the latest composite material. They won’t find us from the sky or by using their ground-search instruments.”
“Good,” Wyatt murmured. “I want you safe, darlin’.”

EXCERPT:

Lia did something that her heart whispered she must do. She leaned forward, her hands tentative on Cav’s shoulders, lifting her chin, seeking...finding...the tortured line of his mouth.
Her world exploded around her. She had closed her eyes, leaning into Cav, wanting to absorb his pain, try to make him feel better. The overwhelming desire to kiss him drove her to boldly step out of her own fear and hesitancy. For a split second, Cav froze. And then, his hands tightened around her face, guiding her, drawing her against his mouth, angling her, nudging her lips open. Lost in a haze of light, joy, and need, she eagerly accepted his hunger. He moved his mouth powerfully against hers, a sense of starvation, of need for her. An avalanche of heat and fire roared to life within her lower, dormant body.
She felt him tremble as he hauled her against his chest, felt him control himself for her sake, his mouth gentling against hers.
A moan caught in her throat as he opened his fingers, sliding them through her hair, cherishing her, caught up in the heat and molten moment that glowed wildly between them. Her heart beat in triple-time as he moved her around for deeper access to her, bringing her closer in his arms, cradling her, his mouth locked with hers, not allowing her to escape.
But Lia didn’t want to go anywhere. She was relaxing into his embrace, feeling his hand trailing down her jaw, slipping around her neck, following the curved line of her spine. His mouth was cajoling. Breathing shallowly, she eagerly returned his kiss, a deep ache grew between her legs, and wetness coated the insides of her thighs.
Shyly, she moved her hand up from his shoulder to his thick neck, feeling the pulse of his jugular against her fingertips. His breathing was short and hard as he suddenly realized he might be hurting her. He softened his mouth against hers, silently demanding she fully reciprocate by exploring him.
That was all Lia needed. Her fingers curved against his jaw and she deepened their kiss, her body molding urgently to his. The moment her breasts touched Cav’s chest, a whimper lodged within her throat. Now, Lia knew just how sexually starved she really was.
