Fly

SEAL Team East Defenders Series Book 1

The jungle is unforgiving. Trust is dangerous. But when a Spider tangles with a Fly, hearts get caught in the web…

Flynn “Fly” Gallagher has lived his life at full tilt. Born in Australia, raised on a Texas ranch, and molded into one of the Navy’s youngest SEAL officers, he’s made a career out of protecting others. But when his first real mission as a solo officer in charge of a team, a mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, goes sideways, Fly is swept downriver—stripped of his gear, his weapon, and his command. Survival depends on the last person he expects, a sharp-tongued wilderness ranger who refuses to take orders.

Penelope “Pia” Kavanaugh has never been anyone’s damsel. As a Yellowstone ranger and EMT, she’s built a reputation as Spider—protector of America’s wild heart, climber of impossible cliffs, and relentless pursuer of poachers. Chosen as the leader of a U.S.–Africa exchange program, she’s in the Congo training rangers in anti-poaching enforcement when her trainees vanish into the jungle. Pia is determined to bring them back. What she doesn’t expect is to drag a hypothermic, half-drowned SEAL lieutenant from the river, one who might just have to be stripped down to bare skin for…ah…medical purposes, of course, and then end up stuck with him in hostile territory.

Pia thought she could be a pain in the ass, but this guy was challenging her for the title. The man was put together, and all that stunning red hair left her wanting to trace every freckle on his body. But he won’t give an inch, and she stubbornly digs in her heels, pushing back against all that scintillating alpha energy. Danger has a way of stripping people bare, and what starts as friction transforms into trust…igniting into passion neither of them can fight.

When Fly discovers that gorgeous, infuriating, and thoroughly competent Pia isn’t just any woman—she’s the twin sister of Cormac “Shamrock” Kavanaugh, Fly’s teammate, their sniper, his closest friend and the man who once saved his life—crossing the line could shatter his leadership and the brotherhood bond. When he reunites with his team, his crushing problem? Pia might just be the only woman who can make him whole.
