This is a stand alone novel that can be read out of
sequence. Portions of this book have appeared in several
SEAL anthologies. This is the only version of the expanded
and substantially changed story of Nick and Devon.
Special Operator Nick Dunn returns stateside to learn his
sister is losing her battle with cancer. He comes to Sonoma
County to help her close down and sell her struggling
nursery, ten acres of heaven in the midst of vineyards. He
isn't prepared for the attraction he instantly has to Devon
Brandeburg, his sister's best friend and Realtor. He
remembers her as a "noodle-armed youngster with braces" but
boy has she grown up.
Devon Brandeburg remembers well the day her best friends big
tough "testosterone-stuffed" brother came swaggering in,
bragging he'd just graduated BUD/s and went on to get his
gold Trident. She sees the same braggadocios attitude that
repulsed her then now that he has come to help his sister
settle her affairs. But she is surprised when one of the
requirements for liquidating the nursery is a deathbed
request. She finds she has to work closely with a man who is
dangerous, especially since Devon's barely been kissed.
What starts out as an obligation soon turns to a heated
affair that pushes both their boundaries. As Devon's body
awakens to this man's touch, Nick's need for a life other
than casual sex and perpetual bachelorhood evaporates. When
a plot is uncovered that a greedy winery owner plans to do
anything to possess the property, everyone involved is put
at risk. Nick and his SEAL Team 3 buddies are tasked with
saving the day.
