Book Description

Get in and get out—he treats his relationships just like his high-stakes missions. “Mrs. Tappan writes one of the best accounts of today's military fighting man/woman... The characters are so real, and the story so enthralling, that you don't want to put the book down!” ~ Fan review Lieutenant Kyle “Mikey” Hammond operates on self-destruct: wild partying, one-night stands, and toxic relationships. Right on target, the night before he’s due to provide security for a journalist in Pakistan, he pulls a pre-emptive screwup with her. Never one to make a bad situation better, he continues to go heavy on the flirtation. When undeniable feelings for the spunky, unshakeable woman grow, it’s time to pull another one of his usual moves: bail out. A master at dealing with violent terrorists, LA Times journalist Samantha Dougin is called in to negotiate the release of four American hostages. But something fishy is going on, and her days reel between insane, high-speed danger and tense downtime. Shamelessly curious, Samantha must - as a woman and a reporter - take advantage of the lulls to strip the charismatic Navy lieutenant of his potent charm. Their explosive battles ignite passion in the bedroom, but just as their feelings for each other deepen, time runs out. A devastating deception catapults the mission into Defcon Holy Crap, and with the lives of four hostages on the line, Kyle and Samantha have no choice but to hurl themselves blindly into the worst. The bestselling and award-winning Wings of Gold Series IS BACK with a brand-new thrilling standalone romance where two total opposites discover they’re made for each other.
