JJ (Jane Jessup) Caruthers thinks she has everything she
needs in life until her grandfather gives her an ultimatum:
Marry within one year or he sells the family business. At
28, Caruthers Cars is JJ's life. She has always loved the
business, even as a young child. Running the dealership is
what she was groomed to do and she sees no need for a
husband. How is she going to resolve this problem?
After going through four would-be suitors, all picked by
her grandfather, and finding them unsuitable, JJ reconnects
with David Graziano, a Navy Seal she met almost a year ago
at a wedding. There was instant animal magnetism between
them at the time, but she didn't even know his last name.
After asking around about him, she makes a call on him to
offer him a business deal and marriage proposal. After all,
a Navy Seal is not around a lot of the time, and that would
be just perfect for her.
David is recovering from severe injuries sustained in
Afghanistan and has some time off from duty. His mom has
also recently passed away and he is left to provide for his
siblings. JJ's "deal" of a marriage proposal sounds very
tempting. It would solve his problem of taking care of his
siblings. After fine-tuning the agreement, he accepts her
proposal of marriage and the deed is done within a little
over a week.
David does not remember the mad, passionate sex he had with
JJ a year ago, and she does not tell him about their
encounter. David does not remember a lot of things due to a
traumatic brain injury, but the steamy sex is still really
good. When he is not cleared for duty and comes back to be
with JJ, she is overjoyed and becomes very interested in
trying to help him recover. David rejects her offers and
tries to shut her out. Their business deal did not include
anything about financial assistance for him, and it
certainly did not include anything about falling in love.
Ms. Daughtridge has woven a romantic tale of a relationship
in which both parties get so much more than they bargained
for. SEALED WITH A RING is a page-turner that you just will
not be able to put down.
Navy SEAL Davy Graziano is a happy-go-lucky lady killer, so
nobody is surprised when he goes for some "local action" at
a fellow SEAL's wedding.
But JJ Lewis turns out to
be a generous, beautiful businesswoman and civic leader, and
Davy's gotten in way over his head. She's got motives to
find herself a husband double-quick and she has the
brilliant idea of picking a military husband who'll be away
on tours of duty and she won't have to deal with him much.
She allows Davy to think he's seduced her at the wedding,
but that one nightstand was all the interview process she
needed.
Davy has ulterior motives of his own to
accept her out-of-the-blue marriage proposal, which is
supposed to be strictly a business proposition. But it
doesn't take long after the wedding ceremony for both of
them to discover they've gotten a lot more than they
bargained for.
