For:  SAVED BY A SEAL –

Three New York Times / USA TODAY Bestselling authors have joined forces to give back to the military veterans who have given so much to their country. With this objective in mind, these women bring you SAVED BY A SEAL, a first in series box set.  100% of author proceeds will be donated to America’s VetDogs® a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.

From Lindsay McKenna:

Being a US Navy veteran and the creator of the military romance genre (1983, Captive of Fate, Silhouette Special Edition), my focus has always been on people serving in our military, military families and veterans.  I wanted to do something special with SAVED BY A SEAL and invited my sister authors Chris Keniston and Susan Stoker, to do a “first-in-series” bundle. I was thrilled to connect with Chris and Susan because of their backgrounds.  We all loved SEALs!  And we all wanted to support vetdogs.org and our brave, wounded vets.

From Chris Keniston:

I have always been in awe of those who do jobs I could not do. The men and women of our military are such people. For me the words Thank You never seems enough in exchange for all the sacrifices these honorable men and women make to preserve our rights and freedoms. Recently I saw a video on service dogs for veterans with PTSD and knew I wanted to find a way to help.  SAVED BY A SEAL is my opportunity to give back.

From Susan Stoker:

Having served as an Army spouse for ten years, it is important for me to show how not only are our military service members heroes, but the spouses are also tough as nails. I am proud to have my book included in this anthology with both Lindsay and Chris’s novels. It’s a wonderful way to help out America’s VetDogs and get new books in the hands of readers.

From America’s VetDogs:

“Our dogs have also served in Iraq and Afghanistan with combat operational stress control teams, part of the U.S. Army’s initiative to safeguard soldiers’ behavioral health while deployed, and we have trained physical and occupational therapy dogs to work with the recently returned wounded at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. By working with the military, the VA, and other partners, America’s VetDogs increases the options and services for veterans with disabilities and ensure that they get all the assistance they require to once again be self-reliant. VetDogs sets the standard by which veterans, the military, and the VA measure assistance dog providers and is our way of recognizing the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform. ”

Join these authors and their SEAL heroes from the very beginning of their bestselling romance series and help give back too! SAVED BY A SEAL, .99 cents for a limited time

Delos series by Lindsay McKenna

Nowhere to Hide

“Let’s get through the rest of this,” Robert told them. He looked over at Cav and then at his watch. “We’re going to be wrapping up here in thirty minutes. And from now on, I want you to be Lia’s driver. You will take her in the company van back to La Fortuna.”

Lia began to protest, giving Cav an apologetic look. “There’s no need for that. I can drive myself.”

“No,” Cav told her quietly, “If this drug lord wants to attack you while you’re in the van, do you know what evasion tactics to take?”

Nonplussed, she muttered, “Of course not” Just because she’d been in the Army, she was a mechanic, not a black ops person who would have such skills.

Shrugging, Cav said, “I’m happy to drive the van, Ms. Cassidy. Maybe you can get a little sleep on the way home.”

Lia had a lot of retorts on her lips, but she swallowed all of them. And honestly, she had no quarrel with him. His eyes told her she had nothing to worry about. In fact, he actually seemed concerned about her, though he’d said nothing to betray it. She just felt it.

However, she knew enough about professional operators to know that Cav had his game face on. He was on the job, and when they were in that mode, no one could know what they were thinking or feeling.

But his eyes…his eyes spoke directly to her. Why did her silly heart start galloping when their glances met? Why did hope slowly wind its way through her? Just that faint smile playing on his mouth made her yearn, once again, for a relationship…a real one…with the right man.

Aloha series by Chris Keniston

Aloha Texas

 

 

“Hey. What’s this?” His fingers rested lightly on her cheek as his thumb brushed away a single tear. She would have swiped at the next tear that followed, backed away, made an excuse, but she couldn’t move. The way his eyes met hers, the intensity of his gaze, almost stole her breath. Thought, never mind speech, was out of the question. His lips parted, whether in surprise or ready to speak, she wasn’t sure, but her heart kicked into a rapid beat. His fingers stilled, his gaze turned stormy, and her racing heart slammed against her ribs. Oh, dear God, he was going to kiss her.

 

 

 

 

 

SEAL of Protection series by Susan Stoker

Protecting Caroline

 

Wolf didn’t say anything, just did what he’d desired to do the first time he saw her in the room. He reached over and gathered her into his arms. She was stiff at first, then she melted into him. She smelled of some sort of flowers. Maybe it was her shampoo, maybe it was a lotion she used, but it went straight to his head. He tightened his arms around her and Caroline lost it. She cried. She cried for being scared on the plane, she cried for being hurt, she cried remembering how alone and scared she felt in her apartment when only a thin piece of plastic kept a killer from knowing she was in the bathroom, she cried in relief that Matthew was back from his mission. Matthew rocked her and held her tight. He wasn’t used to a woman’s tears, but there was no way he was letting her go.

 

 

 

Something more for Lindsay McKenna, Chris Keniston and Susan Stoker

to celebrate

 

Fabio, darling model of the romance covers during the 1980’s and 1990’s showed up on a total of 460 romance covers in our romance industry! An amazing amount!  In 2016 a very popular cover model is Jason Baca (featured February 10, 2016 in the San Francisco Chronicle). Jason has done 461 romance covers breaking Fabio’s record.

Why should we care you ask? Guess whose cover is number 461? That’s right. SAVED BY A SEAL is the cover that broke Fabio’s record!

The authors of SAVED BY A SEAL think it’s rather cool that a charity anthology romance book cover broke Fabio’s record! Making this exciting news all the sweeter is knowing sales from this record breaking romance cover will help a wounded veteran receive a service dog to help him or her make their daily life a little easier. All for only 99 cents
