Overview
The members of a top secret SEAL Team can't keep their passion under wraps in the first novel in this contemporary romantic suspense series from New York Times bestselling author Monica McCarty.
Like Rome's Lost Legion, a SEAL platoon goes on a mission and vanishes without a trace... After walking into a trap on a covert op in Russia, the men from top secret SEAL Team Nine are presumed dead. Not knowing whom they can trust, and with war hanging in the balance, the survivors must go dark and scatter around the globe. Marine ecologist Annie Henderson joins her new boyfriend on a trip to the Western Isles of Scotland to protest a hazardous offshore drilling venture. When she realizes that she may be swept up in something far more dangerous than she'd intended, there is only one man she can turn to... She and the mysterious but sexy dive boat captain haven't exactly gotten off to the best start, but something about his quiet confidence makes her think that he's the kind of man she can depend on. Because he's gruff and guarded, she can tell Dan Warren has secrets. But she could never imagine how high the stakes are for him to keep his cover, even as he risks everything to protect her...

Mary Jo Putney delivers a refreshing Regency-era romance in Once a Rebel, the second book in her Rogues Redeemed series. In England, childhood friends Callista Brooke and Gordon Audley try to elope to save Callista from an arranged marriage, but are caught by their fathers and parted under ugly circumstances. Fifteen years later, Gordon is on a mission to locate a widow trapped in Washington, D.C., during what’s now known as the War of 1812. To his delight, Callie is that widow, and she and Gordon are reunited. They settle into their old friendship, ignoring the sparks of attraction. More dangers lie ahead as they fight to survive the burning of the city and locate Callie’s family. If the two persevere and return home to England, past and present will collide—and the love of a lifetime may finally be recognized. Filled with action and adventure and spiced with an intriguing glimpse of American history, Once a Rebel is not to be missed.

Gripping action meets fiery passion in Going Dark by Monica McCarty. Known for her historical romances, McCarty dives into contemporary suspense with aplomb. Marine ecologist Annie Henderson travels to the Western Isles of Scotland to protest offshore drilling. During her preparations, she meets Dan, a taciturn boat captain who is both mysterious and strangely compelling. When Annie’s trust in the wrong people steers her toward disaster, it’s the sexy waterman who rescues her and protects her on the run. As they survive one near miss after another, Annie realizes that her rescuer is someone special—his real name is Dean Baylor, and he’s the leader of a Navy SEAL team presumed to be killed in action. Dean is in even more danger than Annie, and during their search for answers, he’s painfully aware that his involvement with a wanted woman threatens the surviving members of his team and their goal to uncover who set them up. The simplest solution for the romantic pair is to part forever, but it may be too late. Going Dark is an energetic, entertaining and highly recommended read.
