Heart
of a SEAL
by
Dixie Lee Brown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
They’re brothers in arms, Navy SEALS risking their lives for
their country… and the women they love.
This is Luke Harding’s story.
Six
months in a desert hellhole taught Navy SEAL Luke Harding things he never
wanted to learn about life and death. Only tender memories of the beautiful
brunette he met a few weeks before his deployment helped get him through the
torturous days and nights. Back in the States after a perilous rescue, physically
and emotionally damaged, Luke’s about to plunge into a new kind of war. In a
seemingly bucolic Idaho town, Sally Duncan faces real—and unpredictable—danger.
All
Sally ever wanted was a safe place to raise her nine-year-old daughter. Her
identity hidden behind a façade of secrets and lies, can she trust Luke—a man
she barely knows—with the truth? Even as they give in to long-denied passion, a
killer with a personal vendetta is setting an ambush that will leave them
praying for a miracle and fighting for the future they may not live to see.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
Luke
stepped from the shower and made quick work of drying off before wrapping the
towel around his waist. Sandy-colored clumps of wet hair stuck out every which
way as his image stared back at him from the mirror. He raked his fingers
through the strands, in serious need of a haircut, and called it good. Grabbing
the shaving cream from his kit, he applied it evenly to his whiskered face and
dragged the razor down his rough skin, systematically shaving from right to
left. He paused for a heartbeat when he heard a knock.
“Be
right out.” Luke turned the water on as hot as he could get it and let it run.
Jen probably had to use the bathroom. He’d throw on some clothes and finish up
in here later. A smile formed beneath what was left of the shaving cream. There
wasn’t much he wouldn’t do for that little girl.
An
instant later the door opened behind him, and the razor went still in his hand.
He
stared at Sally’s reflection in the steamed-over mirror. Her in that damn shirt
of his, leaning against the bathroom door, both hands behind her back. A good
deal of shapely thigh led his gaze to well-toned calves. He followed them down
to pretty pink toenails on bare feet. Did she know what coming in here like
that would do to him? He took the last two swipes of shaving cream off with the
razor, rinsed his face in the hot, running water and patted it dry. Barely able
to swallow and momentarily unable to form an articulate sentence, he turned
slowly.
Her
blue eyes went wide as her gaze dropped below his waist, immediately answering
his unspoken question. Evidently, she could see the hard-on he sported beneath
the form-fitting towel that hugged his hips.
He
took a step toward her. “Sally?” That was all he managed to force from his
mouth. It sounded more like a command than the question with which he’d
intended to rule out the possibility something was wrong.
A
secretive smile played on her lips as she brought one hand up and raised it in
front of her with a dismissive shake of her head. “I’m sorry. I don’t know what
I was thinking. This can wait till you’re finished.” Her gaze dipped once again
to the towel draped around his hips, and she swiveled with a hand on the
doorknob.
Oh
no. Hell no. He wasn’t letting her escape that easily. He was damn sure she’d
stepped out of her comfort zone for a reason and her baby blues were daring him
to find out why. He closed the gap and caught the door as she opened it a
sliver. Peering through the opening, he saw Jen, still intent on her game. A
glance toward the motel room door confirmed that the dead bolt was thrown and
locked. They could have a few minutes of privacy.
