Hot SEAL, Heartbreaker (SEALs in Paradise)

by Cat Johnson

  “Okay. Sounds good.” Alicia laughed, a little envious her friend was so adept at lying when she’d had to work so hard at it.

  Shelly scampered toward the kitchen as Alicia turned to face Brian.

  “Thank you for putting up with my sister. And my friend. And me,” she added, knowing she had her own quirks for him to deal with.

  “Anything. Always.”

  For the first time in a long time, she believed in always again. On a whim, she laced her fingers with his and said, “I love you.”

  “I love you.” He leaned in toward her lips as she anticipated what might be an inappropriate public display of affection. But for once, she didn’t care who saw or what they thought.

  Maybe they’d be leaving this party earlier rather than later. She wasn’t opposed to sneaking out. Especially since they’d already solved Shelly’s problem.

  “Hey, Brian. You need a beer?” Jason called from the doorway.

  Brian halted his downward trajectory toward their impending kiss.

  “Yeah. Thanks. We’ll be right in.” He kept his gaze on hers. “We’ll continue this later?”

  He treated her to that dimple-laden smile that still made her weak in the knees.

  She couldn’t wait to continue this later. And for a long time after that.

  She smiled. “Definitely.”

  Dear Reader,

  I hope you enjoyed Brian and Alicia’s story.

  What’s next from me? I have a new book in an all new series! HOME FRONT (The Long Road Home) is a steamy standalone protector romance with a military hero turned bodyguard who will melt your heart. Grab it here.

  Also, in case you missed it, the SEALs Brian meets at McP’s also have their own stories. Read about Clay in Hot SEAL, Dirty Martini, Zach in Hot SEAL, Tijuana Nights, and Nick in Hot SEAL, Runaway Bride.

  And finally, all of Brian’s teammates have stories of their own. Check out the whole SEALs in Paradise: Holiday Season from the Paradise Authors.

  Happy reading!

  Navy SEAL Zach survived Houthi rebels, but he might not survive his sister’s best friend.

  HOT SEAL, RUNAWAY BRIDE -Nick

  Friends? No. Enemies? Maybe. Lovers? Never!

  HOME FRONT

  By Cat Johnson

  Part of The Long Road Home Series

  When ranking his rotten luck, it was hard to decide which topped the list.

  The injury that could end his career in the SEALs.

  The storm that stranded him in Atlanta Airport.

  The naked man he found on top of his girlfriend . . .

  One thing was certain. Things couldn't get much worse. Then he met her.

  Super star.

  Super stuck up.

  Super sexy.

  Super engaged to be married to someone else.

  It was just an odd job to tide him over while he waited to see if he'd heal enough to get back on the team. Close personal protection for a singer so famous even he'd heard of her. He was supposed to be her bodyguard. And guard her body he did. Day . . . and night. His new boss probably didn't have protection that close or that personal in mind.

  He wasn't supposed to fall for her.

  Then again, she wasn't supposed to be so smart, and funny, and wounded, and in need of saving.

  Now he has a decision to make.

  Quit the military career he'd worked half his life for and take the job as her permanent head of security, just to be near her.

  Forget about her and take any job his command would give him in his current broken condition.

  Or do the craziest thing of all. Confess his feelings and hope to make it work. With her. As a normal couple. A real couple, if that was even possible given who she was.

  It's an impossible decision, but he'll be damned if he'll let her stalker or his bullet make it for him.
