One night in the sheets is all she wants... Christina Girard is a lady. But she's a lady whose world is about to implode. She's done everything right, but she can't escape the taint of scandal when her husband cheats on her with another man. She's broken, her spirit battered, her confidence at an all-time low. Then she meets Navy SEAL Remy Marchand, and parts of her she'd thought dead flare to life. Except Remy is part of the Hostile Operations Team, the Black Ops group her brother works for, and that means NO in flashing neon letters. Yet Christina's tired of always doing what's expected. Just once, she wants to saddle up and ride a tattooed, dirty-mouthed bad boy before she kicks him to the curb and goes on with her life. One night is not enough to put out the fire... Remy Marchand burns with guilt and regret that he couldn't save his twin sister from her abuser. He lives his life slaying dragons for the innocent and vulnerable. He thought Christina needed his strength and protection too, but he was wrong. After a single night of pleasure, she disappears from his life. But then his SEALs get tasked with a mission: infiltrate war-torn Qu'rim and get Christina out before the enemy finds her. With bombs exploding, blood spilling, and survival not certain, Remy protects Christina from harm while vowing not to succumb again to her sweet temptation. One night is only the beginning... But life in a war zone is intense, and vows mean nothing in the face of danger. Giving in is inevitable. Staying alive is not-especially when the greatest menace still waits for the perfect moment to strike...
