Overview

"A romance with real heart, from a talented writer who has deep personal insight into what it takes and what it means—to be a Navy SEAL." —New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann

He Lost Just About Everything On That Mission....

Being a Navy SEAL means everything to John "Red Jack" Roaker, but a mission gone wrong has left his buddy dead, his memory spotty, and his world turned upside down. His career as a SEAL is threatened unless Dr. Laurie Smith's unconventional methods of therapy can help him.

Maybe She Can Show Him How to Get it Back...

Laurie's father was a SEAL—and she knows exactly what the personal cost can be. She can't resist trying everything to help this man, and not only because she finds him as sexy as he is honorable.

As the layers of Jack's resistance peel away, he and Laurie unearth secrets that go to the highest levels of the military— and the deepest depths of their hearts...

Editorials

Publishers Weekly

John Matthew Roaker, petty officer first class, is first and foremost a SEAL; his life revolves around his work. That changes after a disastrous mission damages Jack’s memory and kills his close friend. Jack ends up on temporary medical leave that may become permanent if he can’t recall what went wrong and how. Fortunately he winds up in the capable hands of Laurie Smith, a physical therapist who has the power to heal his body and his soul—though she has her own scars from her father’s time as a SEAL. The connection between Jack and Laurie is instantaneous and combustible, but some readers may be put off by the conflation of romantic and therapeutic touch, and the wooden characters’ unhappy pasts mostly serve as excuses to trowel on information about SEAL teams and their work. Agent: Eric Ruben, Ruben Literary Agency. (Dec.)
