Navy SEAL Joe Montgomery has isolated himself at his home, depressed after a mission that killed all of his SEAL teammates. Blaming himself, he's drinking too much and barely notices his friendly neighbor, physical therapist Penny Price.
Penny has been "noticing" her SEAL neighbor for quite some time, and now she's a little worried about his behavior. When he shows up at her PT office about an injury he received on a mission, she enjoys the opportunity to help him and get to know him better. Unfortunately, Penny is dealing with her own crisis at the same time. She's been getting threatening phone calls and believes she and her sister may be in danger. Their father's murder was never solved and she's almost sure the threats have something to do with that.
Ms. Melton, who is the daughter of a foreign intelligence officer, brings her considerable knowledge about the military and intelligence world to this Navy SEAL series. You'll enjoy this peek into that world -- and love the romance that develops between Joe and Penny. A good summer read.
Penny Price dreads the sound of her ringing phone. She's
convinced that the person barraging her with threatening
calls is a man who got away with murder--her father's.
Armed with evidence but branded a target, Penny's only
salvation is the playboy next-door--Navy SEAL Lieutenant
Commander Joe Montgomery.
The sole survivor of the worst disaster in Special Forces
history, Joe has been drowning his guilt in a potent mix of
alcohol and isolation. Penny refuses to indulge his
behavior and a tentative friendship begins, charged with
desire. But as her father's killer sets his sights on
Penny, all bets are off. The killer will do anything to
protect his identity and Joe fears Penny is... NEXT TO DIE.
