Covertly Strong (The Strong Series Book 1)
Page 36
“Such a romantic.” She rolls her eyes in feigned annoyance, but she can’t hide the delight in her voice.
He picks her up, holding her against his chest. “Only for you, sweetheart…for the rest of your fucking life,” he says, repeating her words.
She grins at him, not hiding her enjoyment anymore. “The rest of my fucking life… I can’t fucking wait,” she repeats, mimicking his crass mouth.
He chuckles as he proceeds to carry her to his Jeep, more than ready to make out like teenagers in the back seat.
And right then, while Nix is carrying Sloan through the sand and both of them are laughing and smiling at each other…the rest of their lives—their future—which is now filled with gray instead of black and white, has never looked so beautiful.
THE END
Dear Reader,
We have a very important announcement to share with you.
Click here for our exciting Reader Exclusive!
Love,
N.A. Alcorn & M. Mabie
Thank you, wonderful reader, for taking a chance on this book and hanging in there until the end. I hope you enjoyed the beautiful love story that is Nix & Sloan. Their story was one hell of a rollercoaster ride, but I truly loved writing it. This book was quite an emotional journey for me. The endless research that went in to understanding the true workings of a SEAL Team was down-right intimidating. I hope I did Black Mamba justice.
If you enjoyed this book, please consider recommending it to your friends and family, and/or leaving a review on Amazon. Also, feel free to check out my website to see other books that I’ve written.

There are not enough words to express my gratitude to the wonderful people who have been with me through the grueling writing process of this book.
My husband, Rob. Thank you for the late night coffee runs and letting me check-out for days on end so I could finish this book. You’re the fucking best. I love you and I might make an exception and give you my famous chicken fettuccine alfredo a few years early.
My awesome mom and sister. Thanks for everything. Thanks for your support, your encouragement, and the times you picked me up when I needed it the most.
My wonderful dad. Thanks for taking all of my crazy phone calls and answering random questions about all things related to guns and the military. Colt Walker was absolutely clutch! You’re the best!
My writing partner, my best friend, Mo. What can I even say here that hasn’t already been said? You make me a better writer. You motivate me to continue on even when I’d rather binge on Netflix. You are my favorite Master Plotter and I’m so glad I’m on this writing journey with you. You make life grand, Coldcuts Robinson. I’m ready for our five year plan, our happy ending.

Thank you for the late night phone calls, text messages, emails, and Facebook messages. Thank you for pointing out this book’s weaknesses and giving me confidence over its strengths. You made this book better than I could have ever imagined.
My editor, Mickey. Three books down now? Hot damn! You are simply the best. I love you and your editing magic.
My Tequila Enthusiasts. You ladies make my fucking day. Gilmore Girls. Goat Videos. Gorgeous men with tight asses. Our group is my favorite place to be and kept me motivated to power through and finish this book. I love y’all and your witty banter, crazy comments, and never-ending laughter.
The bloggers. All of the unbelievable bloggers out there who tirelessly promote our books. How can I ever repay you? Your love for books make the book world what it is today.
