A SEAL's Vow
by Cora Seton
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
After fifteen long, dangerous years in the service, Navy
SEAL Clay Pickett is ready for his new mission: build a model sustainable
community and show the world an exciting alternative to a consumption-based
life. If that means he’s got a deadline to find a wife in order to win the
reality TV show that’s filming his sustainable adventure, so be it. He’s got
just the woman for the job in mind: beautiful, dedicated Nora Ridgeway.
When Nora left her job as a school teacher in Baltimore to live a simpler, Jane Austen style life in Montana with her friends, she was relieved to escape the escalating threats of violence from an unknown student stalker, but she can’t help feeling she’s abandoned the other high schoolers who put their faith in her. She’s torn about Clay’s advances, too. On the one hand she’s never met anyone like the strong, sexy SEAL. On the other hand, life’s taught her to take relationships slow—and Clay’s on a deadline.
When arson strikes and Nora disappears, Clay knows he’ll need every trick he learned in his time with the SEALs to track her down and save her life.
Can two people caught by their pasts have a chance at a future?

EXCERPT TWO:
Reluctantly,
Nora stood and crossed the room as directed. She knew there was no getting out
of these interviews, but she wasn’t looking forward to them. I’m here to write,
she reminded herself. There’s nothing remotely interesting about me. Viewers
will get bored of me in about two minutes and then everyone will leave me
alone.
She
felt pretentious posed by the piano, especially since she didn’t play, but
Renata seemed happy with the arrangement. When the camera man was satisfied
that the light was acceptable, she began.
“Clay’s
pretty hot, huh, Nora? All those muscles?”
Nora
blinked. She opened her mouth, then closed it again. “I… uh…wouldn’t know,” she
finally gasped.
“Funny,
you couldn’t keep your eyes off of him in our meeting just now.”
“I…
I’m not—I didn’t… That’s not true!” Nora was appalled. She hadn’t pictured
anything like this when she’d agreed to be on the show. It wasn’t that she was
naïve—she knew what reality television was like, but she didn’t expect to be
attacked for looking at Clay.
“So
you’re telling me you don’t find him the least bit attractive?”
“I
didn’t say that!” Nora felt her cheeks heat. Damn it, she hadn’t meant to say
that, either.
“So
you do find him attractive.”
“I
didn’t—” Nora broke off in confusion.
“You
can’t have it both ways,” Renata retorted. “So which is it?” The smile she
flashed at Nora was downright evil. Nora promised herself she’d get her revenge
someday.
“I
guess… I find him attractive,” she admitted through gritted teeth.
“He
needs to marry in the next forty days.” Renata eyed her shrewdly. “Will you be
the blushing bride?”
“Absolutely
not,” Nora snapped. “Now, if we’re finished here—”
“Oh,
no—you don’t get to leave yet.” Renata moved to intercept her when Nora headed
for the door. “We’ve only gotten started.”
