Synopsis:
Living in Southern California, Cheyenne was used
to seeing hot military men as she went about her daily business. An anonymous
encounter at the grocery store cemented her crush on one such man. He was big,
built, and incredibly easy on the eyes, but it wasn’t as if he would ever
really notice her.
Always in control of any situation, Faulkner
“Dude” Cooper knows explosives. As a bomb expert, he’s lived through many high
pressure situations. Disfigured by a bomb while on a mission, he’s used to
being looked at with pity. When he’s called to a local supermarket to assist
the local PD, the last thing he expects to find is a generous act of kindness
performed by a beautiful, amazing woman. Enchanted by her selflessness in the
face of danger and intrigued by her actions to save civilians she didn’t know,
Dude’s hooked.
Dude was able to save Cheyenne from the group of
thugs trying to take her life, but when the past comes back to haunt them both,
sometimes having the knowledge and the desire isn’t enough to beat the
countdown of the clock.
**Protecting Cheyenne is the 5th book in the
SEAL of Protection Series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but it’s

~~Excerpt~~
Cheyenne felt cocooned in Faulkner’s arms. He sat still and quiet behind her as he took her into his arms. She felt warm for the first time since she’d left the coffee shop that afternoon. She sighed. She needed this, she needed Faulkner.
“Hey,” she said softly.
“Hey.”
“I should’ve called. I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay, Shy.”
“No, it’s really not. I’m sorry if I worried you. I just…I thought you’d be mad. You told me to call you and I didn’t. Then it all just snowballed in my head. The longer I went without calling you, the more mad I thought you’d get.”
Her voice fell enough that Dude had to lean forward and turn his head to hear her.
“I don’t like it when you’re mad at me. Even though you haven’t really even been mad at me yet, I can’t stand the thought of you being mad at me. I think that’s what it was. I want to make you happy.”
“Shy…”
Cheyenne interrupted him. “And now, I’ve disappointed you. I don’t know which is worse really. Fuck, I’m not like this. I’m not a wuss. The only thing I can say in my defense is that I had a bad day.”
Dude had enough of this. He scooted himself around until he was sitting at Cheyenne’s side. “Stop, Shy. I’m not mad and you didn’t disappoint me. You worried me. There’s a huge difference.”
“I didn’t mean to.”
“I know. But we need to talk about this. We should’ve talked before now and that’s on me. You aren’t used to this. I love how we are. I love how you do what I tell you in our bed. I can’t tell you what it means to me. I crave that. I need that. But outside the bedroom? No. I love the contradiction that is you. You’re not afraid to call out my friends when they say dumb shit.”
He kissed the top of her head and continued. “I’m going to get mad, Shy. I’m probably going to yell at some point. It doesn’t mean I don’t love you. Don’t be afraid of me. Don’t be scared to tell me to fuck off. If I overwhelm you, tell me. Remember when I told you we don’t need safe words? It still holds, Shy. If you need me to back off, just say the word and I will.”
“You love me?”
“Yes. I’ve waited for you my whole life. Not someone like you, but you. I know you don’t have the experience to realize this, but what we have in the bedroom is unique. Unique and special. It’s something I’ve never had with anyone else, ever. And it’s not just about the sex. It’s about who you are as a person. We’ve gotten to know each other over the last couple of months and I like you Cheyenne.”

Synopsis:
Kason “Benny” Sawyer was the last single man on
his Navy SEAL team. He loved his teammates like brothers and respected each and
every one of their women. They’d all been through hell and they deserved their
current happiness. But seeing the love between his friends and their women made
it tough to be the odd man out all the time.
Jessyka Allen had a good life, until it wasn’t anymore. Finding herself in an impossible situation, with no noticeable way out, her job was an escape. Working at the small Bar and Grill put her in contact with some wonderful people, who Jess figured couldn’t ever understand what she was going through.
Being a SEAL, Benny thought he knew the true meaning of teamwork and friendship. But Jess would show him that everything he thought he knew about sacrifice, trust, and love, paled in comparison to what she brought into his world.
