He wants just one night…
After growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father, Army Special Forces Sgt. Brady Scott vowed never to marry or have kids. Sent stateside to get his head on straight—and his anger in check—Brady’s looking for a distraction. He finds it in his beautiful new neighbor’s one-night-only offer for hot sex, but her ability to make him forget is addictive. Suddenly, Brady’s not so sure he can stay away.
…what they need is each other.
Orphaned as a child, community center director Joss Daniels swore she’d never put herself in a position to be left behind again, but she can’t deny herself one sizzling night with the sexy soldier who makes her laugh and kisses her senseless. When Joss discovers she’s pregnant, Brady’s rejection leaves her feeling abandoned. Now, they must overcome their fears before they lose the love and security they’ve found in each other, but can they let go of the past to create a future together?

Good morning and thank you Crystal for inviting me to your military romance week, I'm truly thrilled to be here. This past weekend, we celebrated the Marines birthday on November 10. The U.S. Marines can trace their history back to November 10, 1775.  According to the official Marine heritage timeline, this is the date that a committee of the Continental Congress met at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, PA, to draft a resolution calling for two battalions of Marines able to fight for independence at sea and on shore. November 10, 1775, the Marine Corps was born.

As a child, JoLynn saw her beloved uncle murdered. Since then, she’s stayed far away from her father’s crooked empire. But when he falls ill, she returns, hoping to mend the gap between them.

Unfortunately, he’s also the man determined to destroy her family…

Military Romance Week: Author Marliss Melton (Interview/Giveaway)

If you are looking for a military romance full of suspense, mystery, and  intrigue look no further than our guest for the day. Please help me welcome Marliss Melton!

Lexi: Marliss you have seen and done a lot in your life. From different countries to exotic foods (yes I consider candied ants exotic). Your life is a great pool of inspiration. Do you ever feel like when you write a book you are sharing a piece of your life with the readers?  

Marliss: Lordy, yes! My stories reveal more about me than I care to admit. I might as well hang my underwear out to dry for the world to see. Every conflict, every character, and every theme in my story is something or someone from my past.  When you read about marital conflict, emotional abuse, cheating husbands, orphaned children, children needing daddies, women praying for a strong hand…you’ll know more about me than the people who’ve known me all my life and don’t read my books!

Military Romance Week: Author Trish McCallan (Guest Post)

Trish McCallan writes about hot SEALs, Red-Hot SEALs that is and believe me, you do not want to miss her debut, Forged in Fire!

The Bonds Of Brotherhood

I’m a sucker for the alpha hero, even more of a sucker for the alpha hero brotherhood of warriors. I gobble these books up like no one’s business.

There is just something about the heroic, stoic, courage in the face of adversity and death, alpha hero. When you collect a whole bunch of these guys and sprinkle them through the book, you’ve snagged me for the whole series.  Don’t get me wrong, I love romances. Love the play of the developing relationship, the little surprises as the hero and heroine get to know and love each other. But I’m also fascinated by the relationship between men. How they interact, how they show their feelings without ever expressing them. There is just something so alien and fascinating about a brotherhood of warriors.
