Seal

Navy SEAL.

Team Leader.

Warrior.

Men are born. Warriors are made. Honor is earned.

I was sixteen years old when I first heard those words from my best friend's father. The Vice Admiral took me in, taught me about integrity, and gave me what I'd never had--a family.

But it wasn't just my best friend and his father who changed my life.

The emerald-eyed blonde with an innocent smile stopped me dead in my tracks. Wanting to be a man worthy of her, I enlisted and became a SEAL. Except not even the Trident I'd earned changed the fact that she was the Vice Admiral's daughter and my best friend's much younger sister. She was strictly off-limits.

Then tragedy struck, and I found myself in the one position I never should've let happen--with my arms around her. Now I had one objective.

Code name: Alpha.
Mission: Retreat.
