Romance Suspense

Former Navy SEAL Leo "the Lion" Anderson has left the service but everything he learned and honored cannot be forgotten. He made a vow to a dying teammate and he will keep it ... come HELL OR HIGH WATER. But he doesn't plan on Olivia Mortier coming to him for help. He can't stop thinking about her but he has absolutely no expectations of seeing the CIA agent coming back in his life. He and the rest of the boys just plan on a salvage ... treasure under the sea. Best laid plans.

Olivia needs help and the only person she can think of who has this particular ability is Leo. She hadn't forgotten the sexy man, but she didn't do permanent. Never had why start now?

A boat load of money, a plea and his pride being hit on were all that was needed and they were off on an adventure reminiscent of his SEAL days. Racing against a deadly terrorist after some missing capsules the CIA lost, is one thing but the thing that had Olivia and Leo's hearts racing the hardest was the ever growing attraction that just kept building. It just might flare up at the wrong time and they needed all their wits about them to win this one.

Author Julie Ann Walker brings us a brand new romantic suspense with HELL OR HIGH WATER, featuring the six former SEALS. Leo is honor bound to his teammates, but something is missing and that something is really someone ... Olivia. Olivia is feisty, a woman who knows her way around black ops and handling alpha men. What she can't handle is emotional ties ... and after reading her story I was so glad author Ms. Walker put her and Leo together. He is just what she needed, he is steady, solid a man you can lean on or fight beside. The other men of Deep Six are very interesting and I can't wait to see which one is next in this new series. There was a lot of heart pounding action, the camaraderie that I enjoy in my action books and plenty of steam ... and of course love. If you enjoyed Ms. Walker's Black Knights, Inc. series then HELL OR HIGH WATER is going to be the start of something great!

SUMMARY

In a world on the brink Six men. One sunken Spanish galleon. Millions in gold and silver coins lying on the ocean floor. And a past that refuses to let the guys of Deep Six Salvage forget the Navy SEAL motto: the only easy day was yesterday...

There's more than one kind of treasure The nation's security has always been CIA agent Olivia Mortier's top priority. But a mission-gone-wrong has begun to make her wonder if there's more to life than risking hers.

And more than one secret at the bottom of the sea Only two things could make Leo Anderson abandon his hunt for the legendary lost ship, La Santa Christina, and return to the world of weapons and warfare he swore to leave behind: a capsule of enriched uranium, lost on the ocean floor, and a plea for assistance from the one woman he can't seem to forget...
