Hang on to your dog tags. The ride’s about to get bumpy. Love or duty? From the Petite Marine First Sergeant in Cinderella Wore Combat Boots, the two larger than life brothers fighting in the American Revolution in Seducing Liberty, to Gunny in Being Prince Charming, each hero and heroine must face their biggest fear. For First Sergeant Cori Valentine, civilian life is not an option, even if the Marine Corp is giving her the boot. Can she embrace her future and walk away from all she knows? Sol, a hot Navy SEAL, can help her with that. All she has to do is reach out and take a chance. If she will, he promises to show her the night of her life, and help her find her place beyond the gates. “You’re no Prince Charming!” Words screamed in anger end in an unwanted divorce. For military spouses, the duty to country can sometimes cost more than they are willing to pay, and the toll it takes on Gunny’s marriage is devastating. August has put in his time, but so has Lissa, his wife, but he fails to see it until it’s too late. Now, Gunny has one night to prove he can be the man she needs outside the Marine Corp. If he fails, she’ll marry another in the morning. Out of the mists of time rides a story of espionage, rebels and a country fighting for its freedom. Madelyn, an actress, can’t separate the costumes from the real Revolution. Something seems off. When real musket balls are fired in her direction, she realizes she’s no longer on a set and her deepest desire to have one night with two hunky Culper spies, could cost her life.
