Securing Selyne (SEAL Team Alpha)

Three years ago—after a mission that went horribly wrong—I came home and accepted an early medical retirement. Ever since then I’ve been living in my truck camper, hiding in one national forest or another, working my way from the east coast to the west as a grumpy recluse.

But my rig breaks near Spring City, the town that, if I remember correctly, is where my foster brother Karden lives. Next thing I know I’m attending the wedding of someone I don’t know, drinking damn expensive whiskey, and sneaking off with the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met.

Like Cinderella, she rocks my world and rushes off without telling me her real name or promising to call me in the morning.

Seems about right.

Four months later, my fellow Navy Seal is blowing up my phone. “Get your ass to Beverly Hills,” he texts. “I have a job for you.”

Even though I’m not looking for work, the amount of money he throws at me is to good to pass up.

Thirty-six hours later I’m standing face-to-face with my mystery woman, the one who never called—she’s my new client. International supermodel Selyne Mejer, pampered princess, and heiress to the Mejer family fortune.

The mission is to escort her on a five week Middle Eastern fashion tour while keeping my hands and other body parts off of her.

Should be simple, but she won’t let it be easy.

She’s unlike any temptation I’ve ever known, but a disciplined operator like me doesn’t break a rule or a promise unless it’s for a good reason.

One night isn’t enough.

She’ll have to give me a lifetime.
