Under Pressure - Normandie, Zoe

. .

Résumé :
He stole her heart then left without a goodbye. A year later and he's back, telling her she needs protection-but the only protection she wants is from him. The pre-deployment fling Navy SEAL Matteo 'Delta' Valente couldn't forget has tortured him for his entire tour. A year later, Delta thought he was over it. Finally, he gets home, but runs into Kendra Larose again. It has been so long-but not long enough. With one look, she stirs something inside him that he'd tried to lock up after all those nights thinking of her, sleeping in dirt with nothing but his helmet for a pillow. The problem he quickly realizes is that she's in real danger. Delta's instincts prove too powerful to override. Kendra isn't so convinced. Delta has just shown up, out of nowhere, with big claims that she's in danger and needs protection? Kendra wants to see the hard evidence. She's hated him ever since he didn't call. She'd fallen hard, and he'd broken her heart with no apparent remorse. A forensic specialist working for LAPD, Kendra has blood samples to run in the lab to get to the bottom of her latest case. The thing that becomes apparent is that her case intersects a little too neatly with Delta. She can't quite figure out whose side he is on, why he's back in her life and whether she can trust him or not. So, she keeps one big secret close to her chest.

Biographie:
I'm a mom with three sweet young daughters. I have three jobs - mom, author, and analyst. Years ago, I grew up in a military family, went to a military university, worked alongside the military as an intel analyst, and my husband is (surprise!) a veteran. I've tried to write for anyone who wants to feel what it's like to be with someone from that world - with all the good and the bad.My heroes are grounded in reality, and are inspired by guys I know in the special forces. Guys who've been in combat, tasted war, and fought for what they believed in. They are really heroes, but raw and rough and broken in their own ways.My heroines similarly come from the best parts of the women I know, and the challenges we all face. The relationships that they fall into have familiar characteristics for many, myself included. These heroines represent all of us, with our good and our bad laid bare.In my stories, I illustrate, romanticize, and celebrate the harsh realities of duty, service, and sacrifice.
