Short description

For a year, former Navy SEAL Ike Calhoun has grappled with personal demons in his mountain hideaway. Being tasked to protect the Commander's daughter from terrorists disrupts his solitude, pulling back into the war he wants to forget. Eryn McClellan isn’t any ordinary woman, however. Charmed by her appeal and healed by her faith in him, Ike finds himself waging a one-man war in her defense.

Extended description

Eryn McClellan teaches ESL in Washington, D.C., until the day she’s targeted by terrorists avenging her father’s actions in Afghanistan. The FBI has stepped in, but when it looks like they are using her for bait, General McClellan enlists the aid of the only man he knows he can trust: former Navy SEAL Ike Calhoun.
Embracing solitude in his remote cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Ike thought he’d left the War on Terror far behind. Now he’s stuck shielding a blue-eyed beauty from ambitious federal agents and crazed jihadists. More disturbing still, the charming Eryn seems intent on shattering his self-imposed isolation. Ike does his best to resist her welcoming ways, but he can feel his restraint eroding like a mountain in a mudslide. With the FBI hot on their heels and the terrorists not far behind, Ike willingly wages a one-man war in defense of the woman whose passion and faith have given him the strength to rise above his past.

Review by: Jackie Delude on Sep. 27, 2011 :
Marlis Melton has out done herself again! I have never read a bad book from her & I love the way she writes about the Seals. She brings the reader into the story and holds them till the end. Eryn & Ike are great together she was able to bring him out of his funk. This is one book that will be great to read over & over!
