CODE OF SILENCE by Award-winning Internationally Bestselling author Marliss Melton:
Navy SEAL Vinny DeInnocentis has no idea his news reporter wife is keeping secrets. With her hard-won reputation for rooting out corruption, Ophelia can’t let a little thing like her unexpected pregnancy get in the way of exposing Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor for the liar he is. But will her quest to publicize the truth — and her shocking discovery that her target is far more dangerous than she imagined — cost her more than she ever thought she’d lose?
My greatest blessing was to grow up overseas without any television time. Sure, I missed out on The Waltons and Saturday morning cartoons, but how many kids get to ride on the back of an elephant, eat candied ants, visit every museum and chateaux in Paris, or track tigers in northern Thailand? As the youngest of four daughters, I had the example of my brilliant sisters, who read voraciously, and I bypassed Nancy Drew to read every book in the Hardy Boys series. (That was the first indication of my fascination for male heroes). By the sixth grade, I’d discovered Victoria Holt and moved back to the United States . I wrote my first book—a wretched historical novel—when I was thirteen. Two teenage years in Houston, Texas, saw me reading Harlequin romances and writing several more books.
I’ve always been an over-achiever, with so many interests it was frustrating to have to choose just one career. I could have been an opera singer—but no. I excelled in language and for many years taught high school English, Spanish, and then Linguistics at the College of William and Mary, my alma mater.
But my first love, writing romance, remained a dream for decades. I wrote throughout my twenties and early thirties, completing more manuscripts, getting really serious with agents and publishers, etc. Danger’s Promise, a medieval romance, was finally published in 2002, becoming a RITA finalist for Best First Book. Since then, I’ve discovered that military romance is my best fit. I’ve been the wife of an Army officer, who died young, and my husband now is retired Navy.
My personal life is frankly hectic. We have six children between us, ranging in age from 8 years to 24 years old. Most of “the olders” still have one foot in the nest. But I always find time for my loyal readers, so feel free to introduce yourself to me, as I have to you.
SEAL MY DESTINY by New York Times and USA/Today Bestselling Author Sharon Hamilton:
Back from a horrible tour, Navy SEAL Luke Paulsen has a chance encounter with a woman who begins to unthaw his troubled soul. Deciding he’s too damaged, he begs off further entanglement, but then meets her again a month later at a family wedding, where the unavoidable attraction pulls them together as never before. Will their love be enough to heal them both for a chance at a Happily Ever After?
Sharon’s award-winning almost-erotic Navy SEAL stories of the SEAL Brotherhood, have consistently made best sellers lists and review sites. Her characters follow a spicy road to redemption through passion and true love.
Her Golden Vampires of Tuscany are not like any vamps you’ve read before, since they don’t have to go to ground and can walk around in the full light of the sun.
Her Guardian Angels struggle with the human charges they are sent to save, often escaping their vanilla world of Heaven for the brief human one. You won’t find any of these beings in any Sunday school class.
She lives in Sonoma County, California with her husband, and two Dobermans. A lifelong organic gardener, when she’s not writing, she’s getting vera vera dirty in the mud, or wandering Farmer’s Markets looking for new Heirloom varieties of vegetables and flowers.
HOLDING ON by New York Times Bestselling author Stephanie Tyler:
(a novella set in the Hold series - originally published in SEAL of My Dreams altho) Jamie Michaels is an FBI Agent, married to a Navy SEAL…and about to give birth while her husband’s deployed. Navy SEAL Chris Waldron’s been on some impossible missions before, but getting home in time for the birth of his son might prove to be the toughest–and most rewarding mission of all.
Excerpt
From Stephanie Tyler’s Holding On
A quick note from Stephanie:
This story is set approximately six and a half months from the end of HOLD ON TIGHT. So many readers asked about what was happening with the Navy SEAL brothers from the HOLD series (HARD TO HOLD, TOO HOT TO HOLD, HOLD ON TIGHT), I thought this was the perfect opportunity to catch everyone up.
This story has also been featured in the anthology, SEAL of My Dreams.
With the heat sensor, he could make out shapes through the covered window and the stone and mud mixed walls. But he’d prefer not to expect a bullet to go through stone. And they’d been told to get a clean shot and Chris wanted nothing less.
“He’s not coming out the front,” Saint mused.
“Front or back, doesn’t matter—I’ll still get him,” Chris muttered. His finger curled around the trigger as that hazy sense of right now shot through his brain and he fired seconds before the target turned to face the street for a brief moment. But those seconds of clarity for Chris were like an early warning system, much like the lag in a digital camera, which gave the bullet the precise path it needed.
The bullet landed cleanly, probably nearly silently, between the militant’s eyes.
Chris barely had a second to feel the satisfaction of a job well done when the explosions started, no doubt the US’s way of counteracting the warlord’s attack.
He took out two of the militant’s bodyguards cleanly while Saint, covering him, took out six more a little less so. In seconds, he and Saint were off the building that had been their home sweet home for two straight days and ran down side streets, weapons at the ready, stretching muscles screaming from hours of underuse.
His feet were all pins and needle for the first half mile but finally his entire body cooperated as the shelling and the blasts from overhead began. Caught between friendly and not so friendly fire, plus impending darkness made it imperative that they get the hell out of the danger zone.
Far more dangerous to find themselves cornered at night with barely any ammo and no supplies.
He’d done this more times than he cared to count, his body on autopilot while his brain measured every ounce of risk and danger.
Made split second decisions imperative to his and Saint’s safety.
Not that Saint wasn’t doing the exact same thing.
He fired a few rounds from his M-14, even as pain shot through his side, adrenaline keeping it tamped down so he could take the next shot. Took down two rebels and heard Saint firing from behind him.
They were partially surrounded with no extraction team. Running and stealth were the best options. They were getting blasted, even as they ran for cover, Saint shoving him down as they came to a low wall.
“Stay here, just a second,” Saint told him as they crouched down and let the chaos rein behind them. “How hard were you hit?”
Chris looked down at his side—the blood came through his cammy jacket, ran down his side although he was pretty sure the bullet hadn’t hit anything major. “I’ll live.”
“Good to fucking know. We’ll make a run down the alleys toward the base. If we can get close, they’ll pick us up.”
No choice. Like his old Master Chief used to say, pain is just weakness leaving the body. And Chris hoped it would leave really goddamned soon.

SEAL's LOST DREAM by USA Today Bestselling author JM Madden

Luckily for him, the luscious veterinarian Willow James doesn’t mind taking care of everything he finds. She even seems willing to take him on with all his ghosts, but is he ready to let them go for her?
I am a wife and mother of two. I am a stay at home writer, which I dearly love, and I recently added the title USA Today Bestselling author to my moniker.
I was a Deputy Sheriff in Ohio for nine years, and I found myself tapping that experience as I wrote Second Time Around, my very first book. No, I didn’t tackle and cuff my husband, although there was that time in K-mart… Anyway, it was quite a change going from writing technical reports with diagrams, witness statements, inventories, etc., that would stand up in court to writing contemporary romance. I’ve always written, though, and it was always a dream to do something with that huge, leaning stack of spiral bound notebooks.
I’ve now published 13 books, with many more on the way. I thank you so much for taking an interest in my work!
