SummaryA Military Affair by Merline
Lovelace
AF cop Sergeant Teresa Ross heads an elite Phoenix Raven
cadre charged with protecting the plane and crew sent to a
remote Pacific island to recover the remains of a U.S.
Marine missing since WWII. When a scruffy, unidentified
intruder attempts to penetrate the defensive perimeter
Teresa has set up around the aircraft, she takes him down.
To her disgust, the intruder is a seriously hung-over UPI
stringer who claims to be working a story on the movement
of terrorist-supplied arms across the South Pacific. Her
lip curls when Pete offers to trade his knowledge of the
island for exclusive rights to the story about the dead
marine. She isn't about to let anyone cash in on the story
of a fallen warrior—until the recovery team comes
under intense fire. Dodging bullets, she and Pete bring
the team to safety and the WWII marine home to the honors
he's so long deserved.
Comrade in Arms by Lindsay McKenna
The last thing Captain Mike Johnson's special forces A-
team needs going into Afghanistan is a woman.
Unfortunately for Mike, Captain Rachel McCain, an Army
Intelligence officer, just happens to be the only one
around who speaks Farsi. Rachel willingly volunteers for
the dangerous wartime assignment to be Tiger 01's
interpreter. Tensions run high because Mike is old
fashioned and doesn't believe women should serve in
combat, but he has no choice; no one on his team speaks
any Arabic language. Things get hot in more ways than one
in Afghanistan as Mike learns that Rachel is the one
soldier he can't live without.
An Unconditional Surrender by Candace
Irvin
Special Agent Jack Gage once held the world cradled in his
palm—until he took the hand of the only woman he's
ever loved and asked her to marry him, and she said no.
Determined to get on with his life, Jack left the Army
behind for a job with the Mobile Security Division (MSD),
an elite special operations team under the direction of
the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Security Service.
Unfortunately, fate steps in during Jack's first mission
with MSD. While working undercover to take down an
international terrorist cell, Jack is sucked into the
heinous world of trafficking in human persons. Jack is
horrified to discover the "slave" he's forced to purchase
is none other than the woman he's spent the past twelve
months trying to forget, Captain Danielle Stanton. The
moment Jack sees Dani clothed in little more than bruises
and shackles, he knows he'll do anything to save her. Jack
also knows that this time, he won't settle for less than a
future with Dani—and the complete, unconditional
surrender of her heart.
