GENRE:
Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
world doesn’t know Cat Beckett, CIA linguist and expert sniper. She
does her best to keep her skills secret, but when a SEAL team is
ambushed in the remote mountains of Afghanistan she doesn’t
hesitate to take out the enemy. After saving the SEALs, the third
Spec Ops team to be compromised in as many months, she realizes
someone in her unit is giving classified information to the enemy.
She suspects that Peter Mitchell, her supervisor and ex-lover, is
behind the betrayal, and sets out on a dangerous quest to prove his
treason.
Lt.
Ryan Heller, US Navy SEAL, is accustomed to facing death. When his
team is attacked by Taliban fighters he thinks his last day is upon
him, until an unknown sniper saves their lives. The prickly,
green-eyed beauty handles a rifle as easily as most women handle a
purse, but who is she? And what is she doing in the middle of a war
zone? He is intrigued, and attracted, but his instincts and her
piercing, tiger-like stare tell him to tread carefully.
Afghanistan’s
Bagram Valley is not the ideal place to find love, but these two are
trained to make the best of bad situations. Geography alone makes
starting a relationship challenging enough, but caught between
extremists and an unhinged, obsessed Mitchell makes it downright
deadly.

Excerpt:
He
scanned the hills and saw a flash of movement as Cat said:
“Ten
o’clock, gentlemen, 30 meters south-southwest of that huge conifer.
See ‘em?”
Ryan
adjusted his aim. “Roger that. Grady, you got eyes?”
“Affirmative,
Reaper. Locked and loaded.”
“Fire
at will,” he said.
He
started firing, and a grim smile curved his mouth when he saw a
splash of blood on the snow behind the man he’d taken aim at. The
target went down, but like roaches, another took his place, and this
one had a bigger weapon.
“RPG!”
he called out.
The
helicopter shuddered and left the ground.
“Got
him,” Cat said, in a low, calm voice.
After
the boom of the .416 it seemed like forever before the bullet hit
home, even though Ryan knew less than a second had passed. He
whooped as the extremist with the grenade launcher took aim at the
chopper at the same moment his chest blew apart. The body remained
standing for a few seconds. Then the weapon fell to the ground and
the dead man toppled over.
“Nice,”
Ryan said, firing in rapid succession as terrorists continued to
stream over the rocks and down the trail like ants on a mission.
There were more than a dozen, and probably more than that behind
them. “That puts you in double-digits today, doesn’t it? Not
bad.”
The .416
roared again. “For a girl?”
“Hey,”
Ryan began, “just because the US military thinks a sniper has to
have a penis doesn’t mean I do.” He paused, gave her a sidelong
glance, and then lied through his teeth. “And I hardly noticed you
were a woman.”

Leslie
McKelvey has been writing since she learned to write, and her mother
still stores boxes of handwritten stories in the attic. When her
high school Creative Writing teacher told her she needed to be a
novelist, she decided to give it a try. Finally, at the ripe old age
of...forty-something...her debut novel, Accidental Affair, was
contracted and published by Black Velvet Seductions Publishing. Two
follow-up novels, Right Place, Right Time and Her Sister’s Keeper
completed the Accidental Encounters series, and Runaway Heart, a
standalone book, was released in March of 2016. BVS also published
one of Leslie’s short stories in the erotic anthology First
Submission, and her fifth novel, Final Kill, will be released in late
2016.
Leslie
is a war-veteran who served with the U.S. Navy during the Gulf War,
and she was among the first groups of women to work the flight deck
of an aircraft carrier. During her five years tour she was stationed
at NAS Miramar and spent time on the carriers USS Independence, USS
Ranger, USS Lincoln, and the USS Nimitz. The final two years of her
enlistment were spent on Guam and her squadron frequently deployed to
Japan and the Middle East.
She
learned everything she knows about firearms and tactics from her
police officer husband, who is a weapons expert, range master, and
firearms instructor for one of the most highly-respected
law-enforcement agencies in the world. She has three boys who
contribute daily to her growing number of gray hairs. Her two oldest
sons are United States Marines and the youngest vows to follow suit.
She spends her off-time (kidding...WHAT off-time?) reading, taking
pictures, and sending lead down range (that's shooting, for those who
are unfamiliar). One of her favorite scents is the smell of
gunpowder in the morning....
