Kate Morgan is engaged to the most eligible bachelor in Sonoma County,

soldier who ignites her insides in a strange attraction she cannot deny.
Navy SEAL Tyler Gray plans to spend a weekend home before deploying to
North Africa with the rest of his SEAL Team 3. But the conversation with Kate
has him rethinking his future.
The encounter has both of them feeling fate has stepped into their
lives and altered their course. Unable to just say goodbye as lovers, they
agree to carry on a correspondence. Kate becomes the girl Tyler wants to come
home to while she is pressured by her family to reconsider her broken marriage

are unearthed. From the grave, a Marine’s love letters from the past affect the
new love between Kate and Tyler in the present. And when Kate’s life is
endangered, will Tyler be the man to save her without sacrificing his own?
EXCERPT
Friday couldn’t come fast enough for Tyler.
He boarded the plane from San Diego and in just under two hours touched down at
Schulz International Airport. Kate ran to him as soon as he entered the small terminal.
He dropped his bag and accepted her body slam willingly.
His heart was overjoyed. He’d been heavy with
worry she’d call him and postpone their get together, and he’d have to go out
of country without being with her one more time.
Her lips were urgent. She clung to him with
fierce need, which was just about the biggest turn-on and something he hadn’t
dared to dream was possible. He felt her need match and melt into his as the
steamy sparks flew and his hands smoothed over her satin skin. Her sweet softness
and fresh scent given up to him so willingly, so utterly compliant made him
wish somehow his deployment was over, that this was the homecoming he’d get
when he could finally stay for more than just two nights.
Two little nights! It’s all they
had left. He wanted to see everything about where she grew up, meet her folks.
Even take a good look at her asshole of a former fiancé and let him know that
he was the man he’d have to answer to if the guy had any designs on her. Of
course, he was all in. And, thank the God of SEALs, it looked like she wanted
him right there next to her as tight as they could get.
“Baby it was way too long. We should just go
runaway,” he kissed into her hair at the side of her head. “We could disappear.
Wanna disappear?”
That little giggle as she snuggled under his
chin, as her arms came up his back, pulling him into her. Her fingers migrated
to comb through the curls at the top of his spine, stroking and squeezing. Her
hard pubic bone rode his shaft through his jeans. He pressed her there, hurting
with need, and then just hurting.
“If you weren’t the man I know you to be, Tyler,
I’d take you up on it. God I wish I had a few million stashed away somewhere so
we could just do that. But we have this.” She stood on tiptoes and placed her
succulent lips across his.
“And this is pretty damned good, baby.”
“The best.”
With one arm wrapped tight about her waist he
practically carried her through the glass doors of the terminal to the parking
lot beyond, slinging his bag over his left shoulder. Her feet barely touched
the floor. She hung onto his shoulders, using her right thigh to gently balance
against his hipbone as he walked. She wasn’t light, but he’d carry her all the
way to San Francisco if she’d let him. And heck, he and his buddies had
carried telephone poles up and down the goddamned beach in a full run in combat
boots without hardly breaking a sweat.
She’d started to get out her keys and he swiped
them from her, giving her another kiss when she showed that fresh smile again.
He stowed his bag in the hatch and they drove toward the freeway, heading
north.
He found the little town of Healdsburg to be
charming, reminding him of some of the villages in the South of France, or New
England where shops surrounded a lawn square complete with a gazebo and park
benches. The square was a gathering place, and he noted the foot traffic was so
thick, maneuvering the car to make a right turn as she had instructed, was
tricky.
They drove down a wide street with grand houses,
most of them early California or large bungalow style. At a light green
mansion, she ordered him to turn right and pointed around the corner to the
back of the property, where he located a lemon yellow cottage.
“Nice, Kate. Love it.”
“Thank you.” She said bashfully. He could
see she was thinking about what they’d be doing just as soon as he got them
properly naked. He liked that she was shy, that her cheeks had that just-kissed
blush on her fair peachy skin. She stole little glances at him which set his
insides on fire. He’d never wanted a woman more.
CAT'S REVIEW
"SEAL of My Heart" by Sharon Hamilton. This is Book 7 of Ms. Hamilton's SEAL Brotherhood Series. It's the story of Tyler and Kate. They meet on a flight and BAM! Love at first sight! Tyler is great - despite being a tough guy Seal, he's a sweetie and a softie at heart. He lives to protect and is so genuinely happy that he found someone to love and come home to after his missions that one can't help but smiling when thinking of him. Kate, when she first met Tyler, was engaged but dreading her upcoming wedding. Meeting Tyler gave her the strength to call it off and pursue her true love, Tyler. She is a kind and gentle person who was a bit naive at times. It bothered me that after she called off the wedding, no one - family or friends, seemed to support her decision at first. This story also had suspense. It was obvious something would happen and Tyler would need to save the day but I wasn't quite sure who or what it would be until it happened - there were several choices to be the "bad guy" and that kept you on your toes. I have to say, the SEAL Brotherhood series has quickly become one of my favorite series to read. ✔✔✔✔ (Received ARC for honest review)
