The Angel and the SEAL
by Petie McCarty
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
The
Angel and the SEAL . . . a cozy mystery with romantic suspense from the Mystery
Angel Romances series. An angel hidden in every book waiting for you to figure
out who . . .
Navy
SEAL Sean MacKay's teammate is murdered after stealing a deadly nerve-gas
formula from Syrian terrorists. Naval Intelligence believes MacKay's teammate
was a traitor and shipped the stolen formula to his sister in the states for
safekeeping. MacKay is given orders to find the sister before the terrorists do
and to retrieve the stolen formula at all costs.
Foreclosure
looms for Cory Rigatero as she fights to keep her rustic resort near Mt. St.
Helens afloat after her brother deserted her to join the SEAL Teams. Cory's
whole world dives into a tailspin when Sean MacKay shows up at her resort with
the news of her brother's death and the wild suspicion her brother may have
sent her traitorous classified documents. No way will Cory trust MacKay -- the
man who once seduced her and then vanished into the night without a trace.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT ONE:
“Will
you be careful with the sheriff too?” Mac asked.
“Why?
Dane isn’t dangerous.”
“How
do you know?”
“Because
he protects everyone else.”
“That’s
different,” Mac argued.
“How?”
“He’s
after you. Who protects you from him?” he asked, growing indignant.
“Dane’s
not after me,” she teased, trying to lighten the atmosphere sparking between
them.
“Right,
and Bunny’s not after me.”
That
restoked Cory’s ire. “It’s a free country. If Bunny’s after you, you’re welcome
to her.”
“And
you’re welcome to Tyler, is that it?” he growled.
No,
that wasn’t it, but he’d brought up Bunny and touched off Cory’s temper all
over again. The two of them were arguing like a boyfriend and girlfriend, but
the gorgeous man trifling with her was a complete stranger. Almost. So why did
he feel like anything but a stranger? She had no answer for that.
Distance.
That’s what she needed. Time to think this through before she made another
disastrous mistake. One in her life had been enough.
“Sure.
Why not?” she answered him, trying to sound nonchalant. “Like I said, it’s a
free—”
His
lips silenced hers. The moment his mouth touched hers, she was lost in the
irresistible scent and taste of him once again. He devoured her mouth as though
he wanted to become part of her. No gentle kiss this.
Her
hands roamed up his broad chest and caressed his hard, roughened muscles. She
felt him shudder. Amazed she held the power to create such a reaction in this
strong unyielding man, she fisted her hands into the curls at his nape. The low
growl deep in his throat rewarded her efforts, and he crushed her tighter
still, his arms banded around her back as though he intended to squeeze all
thoughts of Dane from her mind.
She
leaned back only enough for much-needed air, and the sensual fog retreated.
Coherent thought tried to regain purchase. Enough so, she felt the need to
explain her . . . desire.
“I
don’t usually . . . I mean, I barely know . . .” She took a deep breath and
tried again. “I’m not sure why . . .”
“I
know why.” He smiled against her lips. “I feel it too.”
Dropping
all pretense of playfulness to the wayside, he took her mouth hungrily, like a
starving man pouncing on the chief entrée at Sunday brunch buffet.
Need,
hot and hard, spiked through her, and Cory reveled in the tingles buzzing up
and down her spine. Tingles she hadn’t experienced in years. Tingles she had
feared no other man’s kiss would ever give her. She rejoiced in their
reappearance, previously buried with long-repressed emotions, and she wrapped
her arms around Mac to center herself, fearful she’d fly off into the atmosphere
so charged were all her nerve endings.
Even
on that fateful night on this same lakeshore so many years ago, when she’d
crossed an invisible line with a different guy, she had never been kissed like
this. This was a man’s kiss. A hungry man, a powerful man.
