For ex-Senator's wife Dr. Daphne Barrett life is completely
different than what she always dreamed. Daphne's ex-husband
ruined that for her with his extramarital affairs, leaving
her a single mother with teenage boys and few options.
Needing to find a purpose, she joins Doctors Across Water,
which is why she is now on a freighter heading to Somalia
to use her knowledge in medicine to cure the sick and
ailing children. But the Indian Ocean off the coast of
Somalia is plagued with pirates commandeering freighters
and ransoming the passengers and the ships for millions of
dollars. Daphne thinks she will never feel connected to
another man until she meets the ship's captain.
J.P. Lazarus is part of the Savage Seven, a group of
mercenaries for hire who use their unique skills to help
those who hire them. J.P.'s recent mission is to capture
the pirates seizing freighters and demanding ransom in the
Indian Ocean. Pirates are not good for his clients'
business, so J.P is currently playing captain to lure his
prey into taking his ship. At the last port, J.P has taken
on a group of doctors as passengers, which only complicates
his situation. But it's the beautiful Dr. Barrett who
threatens his focus on getting the job done. J.P's
conversation with the illustrious doctor has him believing
he has found the woman of his dreams. Unfortunately, the
serious threat of pirates comes to his deck, putting J.P's
men and the doctors in serious danger.
This is the second book in the Savage Seven series. The
characters are strong, yet vulnerable, with chemistry that
burns the pages. A great read!
J.P. Lazarus is an ex-Navy Seal who's parlayed his
technical expertise into a lucrative and dangerous career.
Laz has never lost any sleep over his choices, but then
again, he's never met anyone like Dr. Daphne Bennett. She
saves lives; he takes them. He changes his persona with
every mission; she's straight as an arrow. His latest
assignment-setting a trap for Somalian pirates-was risky
before, but with the doctor on board his tanker, it's a
matter of life, death, and off-the-charts desire...
Working in Africa for a summer seemed like a good way for
Daphne to regroup after her divorce. But when her vessel
is hijacked, Daphne's status as a senator's ex-wife makes
her a perfect target for ransom. If there's one man
equipped to protect her, it's Laz. But the more she learns
about him, the more questions arise-about the secrets he's
hiding, the chemistry that feels too good to fight, and a
future that neither of them can take for granted...
