CAN HE GET THEM TO SAFETY IN TIME?
Navy SEAL, Cullen Lyons, knew the moment he saw Dr. Carys Adams treating her patients in an African war zone that she was stubborn, selfless and extraordinary. Ignoring the danger surrounding her, she concentrated on keeping the young mother and newborn alive. Now it was Cullen’s job to evade the brutal rebel forces who had targeted Carys and the young family and get them to safety.
HOW WILL THEY SURVIVE?
Carys knows that a three day journey to Khartoum could kill her patients, but staying in hiding would sign their death warrant. She had never met a man like Cullen Lyons, every instinct told her that she could trust him, that she had finally found someone she could lean on, but what if she was wrong? Was he really the hero he seemed to be?

Kissing and
kissing and kissing. She was losing
herself in a whirlwind of sensation as his hands stroked her neck, her
shoulders, trailing down her spine and finally those powerful hands molded her
butt and she about lost her mind.
What
mind?
She whimpered
as she tried to get her hands under his shirt, but her body was in the
way.
“Baby, what
is it?”
“I want to
feel you,” she wailed as she tried tugging again at the front of his
sweater. Then she sighed in relief as
she worked around to his back and lifted it up and felt the smooth, taut,
muscled skin of his back. He felt so
good.
The afghan
slipped onto the deck. “Honey, we have
to take this inside, are you good with that?”
She
peppered kisses up the side of his neck, her tongue licking up the taste of
him. “Oh yes, inside. Hurry, Cullen.” She struggled to get up.
He flexed
his muscles and her eyes went wide as she found herself in his arms as he stood
up on the deck. “You’re not supposed to
be able to do that.”
“Carys, we
kind of do a lot of physical training in my job,” he chuckled as he tucked one
arm under her bottom and easily opened the door to the house.
Strong
is good. I like strong.
She melted
against him, secure in the knowledge that he would take care of her. She didn’t pay any attention as to where they
were going. She continued to stroke the
warm heat of his back and lick the sweet and salty skin of his neck.
Her world
dipped and she found herself on her back.
“Are you
okay, Sweetheart?”
“Why
wouldn’t I be?”
Cullen
traced the contours of her face with his fingers, as he stared down at
her. Then she realized he was
worried.
“I’ve never
felt so safe, or so aroused,” she confessed.
“That’s
good, because nothing in my life has ever felt as good as this moment.”
He meant
it, she could see it in his eyes. Carys
blinked fast, not wanting to ruin the moment with tears. Now was a time of joy.
With his
eyes on hers, he lowered his head and their lips met. Kiss after kiss and she was once again lost
in a maelstrom of desire. When his lips
left hers, she realized her top was gone and he had moved to brush his tongue
across her over-sensitive nipple.
Her back
arched so far off the bed she thought she might break in half. So good, it was glorious.
“More.”
Was that my voice?
Cullen’s
mouth surrounded the tip of her breast and he lashed at her with his
tongue. Vaguely she heard her whimpers
of pleasure. She wanted to tell him not
to stop. She wanted to beg him for
something more because she was coming apart, but she couldn’t make words
form. She tried to lift her hands to
guide him, but they wouldn’t work.
She watched
through slitted eyes as he pulled off her jeans and panties. Every nerve in her body tingled, and she felt
every rub of cloth. Her skin was too sensitive. It was all too much. It wasn’t enough.
“God,
you’re gorgeous,” he breathed.
Say
something.
“Take…” She languidly lifted one arm.
“What,
Honey?”
“You now.”
He bent
over her, his clothes rasping along her tender skin.
“What do
you want, Carys?”
“You. Naked.
Now.”
Cullen’s
laugh was throaty. She shivered as it
hit every erogenous zone in her body.

I'm just a book junkie. I love, love, love to read. I read every Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys book, but Trixie Belden was my favorite. I read the World Book Encyclopaedia set when I was in middle school and had pneumonia. Books have been my escape and saviour on many occasions.
It's my hope that my books can bring you happiness. That's it. Can you grin? Can you be uplifted? Can you be entertained? Will they make you think about life a little bit differently? Then Yay! Be sure to keep in touch, I actually answer my e-mails. caitlyn@caitlynoleary.com
