The
SEAL's Angel

BLURB:
The
SEAL's Angel is the third story in the Mystery Angel Romance [MAR]
series. Each stand-alone love story in the series has an angel hidden
in the plot, and the angel's identity isn't revealed until the finale
-- unless the reader figures it out first.
In
The SEAL's Angel, Navy SEAL Sean MacKay's teammate is murdered after
stealing a deadly nerve-gas formula from Syrian terrorists. Naval
Intelligence believes MacKay's teammate was a traitor and shipped the
stolen formula to his sister in the states for safekeeping. MacKay is
given orders to find the sister before the terrorists do and to
retrieve the stolen formula at all costs.
Foreclosure
looms for Cory Rigatero as she fights to keep her rustic resort near
Mt. St. Helens afloat after her brother deserted her to join the SEAL
Teams. Cory's whole world dives into a tailspin when Sean MacKay
shows up at her resort with the news of her brother's death and the
wild suspicion her brother may have sent her traitorous classified
documents. No way will Cory trust MacKay -- the man who once seduced
her and then vanished into the night without a trace.
Excerpt
Her
assailant wrestled her further into the cabin. Cory fought with
everything she had until she spied Vern sprawled on the floor behind
her desk. She gasped into the cloth and ceased her struggling. Was
Vern dead? Rage welled up, and she redoubled her efforts to break
free, breathing heavily now. A wave of dizziness swamped her and made
it hard to connect with her punches and kicks. Must be drugs in the
cloth.
"Be
still," her assailant growled. His fetid breath washed over her
cheek.
Dear
Lord, it was him! The Syrian who'd attacked her in her bedroom.
She
jerked her head fiercely to get free of the tainted cloth, feeling
weaker with each attempt. The sound of shattering glass penetrated
the haze trying to settle over her mind. A spine-tingling snarl
echoed close by.
Cory
cried out beneath the cloth, but her movements grew labored. A loud
wail erupted near her head, and the cloth fell away from her face.
She greedily sucked in gulps of fresh oxygen as the sound of shrieks
and snarls mixed together in the close quarters of the cabin. She
tried to shake off the muddled haze as her assailant wrestled a dark
form on the floor.
Garth?
The
front window was non-existent save for a few jagged pieces of glass
still clinging to the frame. Garth had her assailant on the floor,
his jaws shaking the man's arm side to side. She looked around for a
weapon. She had to help Garth.
Man and
dog wrestled across the floor. Vern suddenly groaned, and Cory flew
to his side. As she tried to roll him over, she felt the thirty-eight
lodged in his back waistband. She snatched the gun and reared up
right as Garth yelped from a kick to his ribs. The assailant broke
free of the Lab and spied Cory aiming the gun.
