Delta Rogue, Book Three
The Seal Team Series
Hailey was supposed to save lives, not be the target of hitmen, and have the men she looked at as her brothers, nearly die on her watch. Especially one man in particular, who she feels much more than sisterly feelings for.
Maddox was playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse. He was used to it in his line of work, but never had an assignment made him wish for things he shouldn’t. His job was to protect the citizens of the United States from terrorism, and sometimes the means didn’t always sit well with him. However, the ends always outweighed his own needs. Only this time, he wasn’t so sure. His missions never had him facing a woman who made his heart beat with just a smile of her pretty bow shaped lips.
When threats force Maddox to place Hailey under his care twenty four hours a day, will he be able to keep things professional? Or will being in close quarters with the one woman who threatens his sanity, make this Rogue SEAL claim her for his own. Will Hailey still want Maddox when she finds out he’s not the SEAL of her dreams? Or will it all fall apart as secrets are uncovered and the terrorists are closer than either thought?
excerpt
“You’ve got that look I’ve seen before. Right before someone is about to go down.” Hailey raised her hand up and mimicked shooting a gun.
The nurse working on getting her vitals laughed, thinking Hailey was making a joke, but Maddox and Hailey knew she was telling the truth.
“Hmm, I can think of all kinds of things I could say, but I don’t want to make you blush.” His words had the desired effect. Easing the tension from Hailey’s body, and making the nurse in the room laugh.
Hailey nearly groaned out loud at Maddox’s words. He’d turned what she’d said into something dirty, and damned if all her female parts didn’t stand up and say hallelujah. The man was sex on two thick legs, with what she was sure was an impressive package in between. However, not once in the last year and a half had he so much as made a comment that he was interested in her. For fucksake, she’d begun to think he was gay.
“If you could just sew me up, I’d like to get out of here.” Hailey blew out a breath.
The nurse snorted. “Hun, I’m afraid it don’t work like that. The doctor will have to look you over, and then make his decisions. More than likely, you’ll be staying the night. You took a pretty nasty hit, and may have a concussion.”
Well, duh, Hailey could’ve told her that. “I’ve had a concussion before. I know what to do and what not to do. Believe me, I will be fine.”
Maddox and the pretty nurse shared a look. In that instance, she wanted to rip the blonde woman’s tits off. Yep, she was soo screwed.
“Listen, Hellion, we will wait for the doc, and then make some decisions.” Maddox’s big palm settled on her thigh.
Her mouth went dry, but she found herself agreeing to his words. The nurse, whose name she couldn’t remember nodded then left them.
“I can’t stay the night in the hospital, Mad. I’ll be a sitting duck for whoever tried to kill me. I need to call my superior…JoJo and Blake need to be told,” she began, only to stop as his head descended, blocking out the overhead light.
“Stop worrying. I won’t let anyone hurt you.”
She opened her mouth to protest, then sucked in a stunned breath when he covered it with his. The ease with which he took control, making her forget where they were, was crazy and wonderful. She’d never had anyone kiss the way Maddox did. He didn’t just move his lips over hers, but nibbled on each one of her lips, then licked along the roof of her mouth, slid his tongue along hers, dueling for supremacy. The act of kissing became a form of lovemaking, and Hailey knew the man would be just as good, if not better when it came down to sex.
