Dangerous curves lie ahead for this smoking hot Navy SEAL… Slade Security is hot on the heels of a dangerous terrorist group, and it’s up to Trent Larson, former Navy SEAL, to infiltrate the group’s cover organization. When he meets receptionist Chloe Baker, he knows he’s found the perfect way in.

Moving to San Diego gave her the chance to put Sam behind her and get her father the medical care he needs. When Trent Larson, with his ocean-blue eyes and sun-streaked hair, walks into her life, Chloe agrees to a date. But soon she begins to wonder if there’s more to this sexy stranger than meets the eye… Trent knows he’s playing a dangerous game. He can’t deny his simmering attraction to Chloe.

Priyanka Mattoo was born into a wooden house in the Himalayas, as were most of her ancestors. In 1989, however, mounting violence in the region forced Mattoo’s community to flee. The home into which her family poured their dreams was reduced to a pile of rubble. Mattoo never moved back to her beloved Kashmir—because it no longer existed. She and her family just kept packing and unpacking and moving on. In forty years, Mattoo accumulated thirty-two different addresses, and she chronicles her nomadic existence with wit, wisdom, and an inimitable eye for light within the darkest moments.
