Can a billionaire SEAL find love in the arms of a hometown girl?

When Navy SEAL Chance Masters returns to his Texas Ranch, he can’t wait for his next deployment. Civilian life doesn’t suit him anymore. But then he runs into Holly Anderson. The young girl he remembers is all grown up and raising her orphaned niece.

Soon Chance gets close to Holly and the baby- too close. The situation sends up red flags. It feels like family.  After what he’s seen in the line of duty, Chance can’t let himself get attached. 

But can Holly teach him that you can come home again?

How she wanted to kiss him. Right here. Right now. Right or wrong.

She couldn’t think of a better place for something she’d waited a lifetime to do. Moving closer to him, her focus dropped to his mouth.

“Holly.” He shook his head.  “This is not a good idea.” His voice was rough.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Her focus remained on his lips which had haunted her for over a decade, now a mere breath away.

“Yeah. You do.” But despite his hesitation, he reached out and smoothed some strands of hair back from her face. He caught the back of her head in his hand and gently pulled her toward him. His lips touched hers, gently, tentatively. But then he drew back making her heart cry out. He watched her, carefully, intently.

It’s just a kiss,” she whispered.  She could hear the pleading in her own voice.

“We both know it’s a hell of a lot more than that.”

MEET LAUREN

JAN: You were on the blog a year ago with your first release. How has your “writing life” changed?

LAUREN:  Busier than I ever imagined I could be and I see this as a good thing. I’m doing what I love and meeting some fantastic people along the way who share my love for the written word.

JAN: What are you reading?

LAUREN:  When I get the chance to read I select mostly the books of my friends and other Desire authors.  

JAN: Plan to travel anywhere this year?

LAUREN:  Maybe short trips inside the US.  I’ve never seen the Great Smokey Mountains. That would be a wonderful trip. And I’ll be headed to San Diego for RWA Nationals this year. That’s always fun.

JAN:  What is your least favorite housekeeping duty?

LAUREN:  Folding and putting away clothes.  We’ve dubbed an extra bedroom as the Pile & Pick room.  So far it’s working pretty good.

JAN: Does your heroine have any of your character traits?

LAUREN:  Absolutely.  Let’s see…stubborn, mouthy, tenacious…to name a few!

JAN: Most writers have to find their zone before the words start flowing. Describe your ideal writing day.

LAUREN:    Terrible weather outside, Hubby gone to friend’s house, dogs are asleep and parrot finally shuts up.  Usually the best time to write around my house is ten to four am.

JAN: What’s the best part of living in Texas?

LAUREN:  Friendly people who will always jump in to help without waiting to be asked. Sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico and plenty of wide open spaces.

JAN: What’s your favorite guilty pleasure?

LAUREN:  Chocolate.  Any size, shape, form or fashion.  Being diabetic, getting chocolate on occasion is really a very big deal.
