Blurb

Being a SEAL means everything to Petty Officer First Class John Roaker. So when a head injury coupled with a bout of amnesia takes him out of the action, he has to find a way to heal his wounds and recover his lost memories. Enlisting the help of beautiful physical therapist Laurie Smith, he heals his body and discovers that his unlocked memories hold a dangerous secret about his last mission that threatens his life, his country, and the woman he's starting to fall in love with.








Excerpt From The Story

His body language spoke volumes as he leaned closer. The scent of aftershave tickled her nose. Not bad. Definitely spicy! Those wide shoulders and huge biceps practically had her panting.
“Isn’t there any other place we could talk?” she yelled. He sure was cute, with his buzzed blond hair, gorgeous eyes, and chiseled features, but she didn’t really get physical on a first date. Not that this was a real date.
The music stopped pulsing and for a few seconds there was an abrupt silence. As voices started to fill in the break, she took her chance.
“Jack, do you, ah?” She licked her lips again and watched his eyes follow the movement of her tongue. Heavens, I’m sweating! The man is making me perspire. I hope my deodorant holds up. “Do you work in the area?”
“Yeah, Laurie.” His voice sounded like clover honey. “What about you?”
“I have my own practice.” Her words were cut off by music blasting through the speakers.
He took her hand. Every nerve ending fired again as he held it.
Damn, I need to get a grip! Going all gooey while surrounded by half her childhood friends would undoubtedly make her die of embarrassment.
On the other hand, her secretary would say “Way to go! It’s only been... how long?”
“So, you’re donating a gift to the auction.” The corners of his lips turned up at the edge. What gorgeous full lips.
“Yes.” She swallowed hard. She thought to ask him how he was associated with the Naval Special Warfare Foundation, but the muscles of his biceps flexed, stretching the fabric of his shirt, and the thought drifted away.



Reviews

  2. Congratulations on a new release. Looks like you are going to be one busy lady! I know why you are smiling so beautifully...there's just something about holding a book in your hands that you brought from first sentence all the way up to the published book that puts a smile on your face every time. In my opinion a SEAL is sexy because 1) Just looking at him makes a lady's underbritches start crawling toward her ankles. And 2) Knowing that he's fearless and lives to protect yet is humble and quiet about just how he does that.

  5. Congrats on your release, Anne! Loved the excerpt. Can I have him? LOL! Okay, what makes a seal sexy... hmmm, Carolyn was quite eloquent in her reasoning (yes, both of them)but I think I'd add in the confidence factor to her second response. They've got to be to pull off all the stuff they have to do, but there must also be an immense amount of humbleness involved to be willing to put your life on the line for your country, liberty, and justice.

  6. Why are they sexy - well, they have to have to best bodies ever for one lol. I've seen shows on what they have to go through so it's not just physical. Their mental abilities are amazing. And willing to risk their lives...honorable. I've been hearing about your story - sounds wonderful.

  10. I've been waiting on this one!! It sounds awesome. I guess the reason I like SEALS are they are larger than life! They can do anything, are always prepared and can take care of their women. Thanks for the chance.

  12. Thank you, everyone, for the congratulations and wonderful comments! I'm so thrilled for the release of A SEAL AT HEART!

    All of you definitely nailed some of my favorite SEAL attributes. Personally, I admire their dedication and heart.

    As I curl up next to my hubby--my favorite SEAL--tonight, I think of all the souls out fighting. To them I say, "You're in our prayers and hearts! We support you!"

    A blessed and safe holiday season to all!
