Last
summer, Hot Alpha SEALs took the book world by storm, getting rave
reviews for this collection of scorching military romances, and
earning spots on the New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.
Ryder’s
story was such a hit, readers asked to read Drake’s story as well.
Here, now, for the first time, are BOTH adventures!
The
duet (a full length novel) will retail for $2.99, but I wanted to
offer it at a discounted price during preorder for those of you who
have read Ryder’s story and have been waiting so patiently
for Drake. This is a great deal as well for your friends who missed
the Hot Alpha SEALs Collection and are new to this exciting read.

Book
One: Ryder
A
hostage rescue mission turns Ryder “Stone” Maddox’s world on
its ear when he comes face-to-face with his greatest fear: A
woman he cannot resist. But he has to resist Lily Wilson. He’s
vowed never to fall in love. Besides, as the daughter of a senator,
she is definitely off-limits. Lily sees things differently.
Irresistibly drawn to this hot, hard SEAL, she is determined to prove
they belong together…and that her man does not have a heart of
stone. (Originally published in the NYT and USA Today
Bestselling Hot Alpha SEALs collection)
Book
Two: Drake
Drake
Ronan is all man—a rock hard SEAL who doesn’t need help from
anyone. Doesn’t need anyone. But when he’s shot during a
dangerous rescue mission, and has to rely on a beautiful nurse to
survive, he realizes he has to rethink his resolution. Suddenly he
can’t imagine his life without Brandy in it. It’s a damn shame
she has a secret that could ruin everything.
Excerpt
“Are
you hungry?” He asked because her belly growled loudly enough to
attract pirates on the mainland.
“A
little.” She licked her lips. “But I’m really thirsty.”
He
pulled out the straw of his CamelBak and leaned forward, holding it
to her lips. He should have shuttled off all his gear and just handed
the damn thing to her because when she leaned in close and he got a
whiff of her, he nearly passed out. You would think a woman who had
been held prisoner by filthy pirates for nearly a week would smell
bad. She did not. She smelled like heaven. There was a light musky
odor of sweat—it was hot in the tropics—but it twined with
something that was essentially female.
He’d
never felt such hunger. It screamed through his soul.
And,
on top of that, their faces were close. And she was sucking on the
nozzle. And fuck. He was a warrior. A trained weapon. On a mission.
This
was no time for a hard on.
But
he was hard. Damn hard.
Her
lashes flickered as she glanced up at him; she moaned as she
swallowed. A shiver walked down his spine. Walked right down his
spine and coiled in his balls.
When
she sat back with a sigh, he put the nozzle to his lips as well. Not
because he was particularly thirsty, but because he wanted a taste of
her mouth, while it was still fresh.
What
he really wanted was to kiss her. But she was the senator’s
daughter and he was a grunt. That wasn’t going to happen. It
couldn’t.
“Did…did
you say something about food?” Damn lashes. Fluttering again. He
had the urge to grab his Gerber and snip them off.
He
pulled an MRE from a pocket on his left leg, read the label, and
grimaced. He hated the meatloaf. He should have paid more attention
when he prepped his gear. He had more in his pack, but this would do
for now. “I have this.”
Her
nose wrinkled as she studied the silver foil.
Yeah.
Wait ’til she got a taste. He ripped open the packet, broke off a
piece, and handed it to her. It was messy, because of the gravy, but
he didn’t want to unload everything to find an implement. They
needed to eat and go.
She
took a bite. Her eyes widened. “Yuuum,” she said in an
unconvincing tone.
It
was all he could do to hold back his laugh.
“What…”
She swallowed heavily. “What is this?”
“An
MRE.”
“What
does that stand for?”
His
lips quirked. “Meals Rarely Edible.”
Her
brow wrinkled, and then she laughed.
And
ah, what a laugh. A melodic trill. Some kind of sound he figured you
might hear in heaven.
“Do
you eat these often?”
“Not
if I can help it.” He shoved a chunk in his mouth and fired it
back. “But we have a long way to go today, and these have a lot of
calories.”
She
froze, a niblette of mystery meat halfway to her mouth. “How-how
many calories?”
“About
twelve hundred a meal.”
She
gaped at him. “Twelve hundred?” She glared at the meatloaf as
though it were made of turds. Then again, it might have been. “And
you gave it to me? To eat?”
“Yeah.
You’ll need it.”
“Why
didn’t you warn me?” She smacked him. It was like being batted by
a kitten. “Twelve hundred calories is my whole day!”
He
grinned. He could burn that much with a good fart. “Perfect. It’s
probably all you’ll get. Eat up.”
“For
twelve hundred calories, I could have eaten a cheesecake.”
He
looked around for the cheesecake.
She
shoved her tiny chunk of meatloaf at him. “Here, you eat it.”
He
pushed it back. “You eat it. We have a lot of ground to cover
today.”
“We
do?” She tipped her head to the side. “Where are we going?”
“There’s
an island to the south.” He grabbed a stick and sketched out a
quick map. “We’re here. At the north end of this island. And the
secondary extraction point is here.”
Her
throat worked. “How will we get to the other island?”
“Swim.”
She
paled. “I-I can’t swim.”
It
was probably rude to stare. But really? She couldn’t swim? Who
couldn’t swim? “You never wanted to learn?”
“Oh,
I wanted to.” She sighed. “My mother was afraid I would drown.”
“Not
drowning is kind of the point of swimming.”
“She
wanted to keep me safe.” He didn’t miss the exasperation in her
tone. “I didn’t get to do a lot of things. Which is probably why—
And wouldn’t you know it? The first time?” She gazed at him as
though she’d finished a sentence. As though he’d understood a bit
of what she’d said.
“Well,
don’t worry. We’ll get you home safe. And then everything will be
just the way it was before.”
Her
sudden frown mystified him.
