Shamrock

The jungle hides enemies. Mercy costs blood. But when a sniper crosses paths with a healer, hearts become the most dangerous target of all…

Cormac “Shamrock” Kavanaugh has a sniper’s mind and a trickster’s heart, but all of him is pure SEAL. His focus is legendary. He’s the man who never misses until a cool, tough blonde appears in his scope, a hostage, and after hours of observation, he realizes she’s a doctor forced into serving his target. He’s supposed to remain hidden, undetected and lethal. No interference takes a back seat when a SEAL discovers one of their citizens is in danger. He can’t take that shot until he knows she is safe, and going against orders could cost him everything. That’s when his mission in the DRC spirals out of control. He stays dark, but not undetected, not safely in his nest. No, his plan is to rescue this amazing, brave, and skilled doctor from the clutches of evil. He’s on his own, no backup, no comms, no QRF, and a FUBAR plan that would make his CO draw a hard breath. His target will die, but the woman will not, and the two of them will only have each other as the stakes climb.

Dr. Kendra “Keni” Stone swore an oath to save lives, no matter the cost. Working with an international aid group, she knew the risks of war zones, but never imagined being dragged into a camp where compassion is twisted into a weapon. She refuses to bend, even as the warlord uses her skills to keep his child soldiers and killers alive. Then a stranger appears in the shadows—a mercenary, or maybe something more—claiming he can get her out.

Shamrock knows infiltration without backup is suicide. But his determination grows the more he gets to know her, and saving Keni is the only option that matters, regardless of the consequences. Every day he stays under cover, the risk of discovery grows. Every night he spends near her, the temptation to break his own rules burns hotter. As the time dwindles down to nothing, and his deadline comes and goes, she burrows under his skin, takes his heart, and the life he’d vowed to the Navy now is hers to spend.

He’s the sniper who hesitated. She’s the healer whose life is hanging in the balance. Together, they’ll have to outwit a warlord, survive the jungle, and decide if love can bloom in a place built on blood.
