Chase is a Seal, he and his team are instrumental in getting two young boys and their mom relocated to the United States after one of the boys provides vital information to end a terrorist threat. Vanessa is the case worker assigned to the new arrivals to help get them settled. One of the boys is not handling the move well and wants to talk to Chase so Vanessa pulls some strings to make it happen. The meeting goes well but a threat from Chase’s past has come back and Vanessa and Amrit are now in the cross hairs of the gang Chase walked away from years ago. Chase and Vanessa have an attraction growing but the more time they spend together the bigger the risk to her life. Will Chase be able to protect the woman he loves and keep the boys and their mom safe?
This book opens in the sandbox, the guys are deployed and they find a couple of the kids that ran errands for them, hurt in the desert. One of them gives information that helps them get rid of a major threat in the region. That earns the brothers and their mother a place in the US.
Vanessa has a job that is stressful and she also has secrets that result in her having nightmares. She is one of the people who help immigrants to acclimate to being in the US. Amrit, his brother, now called Peter and his mother are clients of Vanessa and they want to meet up with Chase again.
Chase has a past that is about to become an issue. He had been forced to become a gang member, but when he turned eighteen ran far and fast. Joining the Navy and never looking back. When he’s contacted to meet with Amrit he doesn’t hesitate, but he does inadvertently put Vanessa in the line of fire with his past.
Chase’s past rapidly catches up with him as he knows he has to do the right thing.
Vanessa is in the middle and Chase likes her a lot. She doesn’t understand what’s going on but she does know she’d like to know him better.
I love these two together even if the circumstances that brought them together aren’t ideal. We see the rest of the team in this one as well and they offer up some relationship advice in their own way.
Fast-paced and action-packed, with just the right amount of heat, this is a book you won’t be able to put down.
Great series, with good action, plot and characters.
What is it about A Navy Seal. Won’t win any awards, but an easy escape.
Another great addition to one of my favorite series. ‘Chase’ is just as bad-ass as the rest of the Seals. He has a past and he mans up about it. I like that. The storyline pulled me in and didn’t let go. Vanessa is a great woman. She has been through hell, but she had to overcome the obstacles and thrive. She has a great outlook when it comes to others safety and their well being. A great add to your tbr list. I can’t wait to read more.
I love this series of books.! I enjoy reading the love and respect shown between the characters both in the individual relationships as well as the seal team members.
I liked the book but I felt the author wasn’t as into writing this one as the others in the series. It was just a little off I think
I love this whole series.
