Dear Reader,
When I was younger, I briefly worked as a reporter for a daily newspaper, but dreamed of becoming an investigative journalist. However, I soon discovered that getting into peopleâs faces when they were at their most vulnerable wasnât something I was very good at.
When journalist Sara Sinclair stumbles across a salacious story that could catapult her own fledgling career into the limelight, it requires her to get into the face of one seriously badass marine who is anything but vulnerable. But somebody will stop at nothing to prevent her story from being publicized, and she must depend on Sergeant Rafe Delgado to keep her safe, or risk losing everythingâ¦including her heart.
I love writing sexy stories about military heroes and the women who canât help but fall in love with them. I hope you enjoy Sara and Rafeâs story!
Happy reading!
Karen Foley
Nothing good ever happens after midnight.
At least, thatâs what her mother always said, and Sara Sinclair was inclined to believe her. Glancing at the digital clock on the dashboard, she saw it was just twenty minutes before that fateful hour. And for the last few miles, sheâd been following a sports car along a dark stretch of country road, keeping a safe distance as it careened crazily from one side of the road to the other, narrowly missing the guardrails. She had no trouble believing the driver was drunk, but the amorous attentions of his female passenger were probably more to blame for his erratic drivingâSara watched as the womanâs head bobbed over the driverâs lap, popping up briefly before disappearing again below the dashboard.
She gave a snort of disgust, and reached for her cell phone to call the local police. The driver was fortunate that he hadnât caused an accident on the winding road. At any other time, she might have found the lovebirds amusing, but not tonight. All she wanted was to get home, strip out of the confining evening gown she wore, and curl up with a warm blanket and a mug of hot chocolate. A mere six hours ago, sheâd been vibrating with suppressed excitement at the prospect of attending the annual Charity Works Dream Ball, a $750-per-plate black-tie dinner to raise money for injured marines. But now that it was over, she felt empty and disappointed. Not with the event, but with herself.
Someday, sheâd learn to be more assertive and speak her mind, instead of worrying about what others might think. She chanted the mantra silently: Be more assertive.
The glittering charity ball was one of the most-attended social events of the autumn season in Washington, D.C. Sara had been thrilled when her senior editor had invited her to go, especially since she was only a junior contributor on the writing staff of American Man magazine. She spent hours debating what to wear, fantasizing about what adventures the evening might hold. But try as she might, she couldnât figure out why she had been selected to attend the prestigious event, rather than one of the senior writers. Even when the guest of honor had stood up to speak, she hadnât clued in.
Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant Rafe Delgado had been dazzling in his formal dress blues, and Sara hadnât been the only woman in the ballroom unable to tear her gaze away from his broad shoulders and sinfully handsome face. The man was simply stunning, and his voice could only be described as intoxicating, like dark, smooth whiskeyâ¦
âThatâs the guy I want you to interview,â her editor whispered in her ear. âIâll introduce you after the speeches are over. Delgado is a bona fide hero, and Iâm counting on you to get an exclusive interview with him for the magazine.â
Sara turned to her editor with disbelieving eyes. âBecause he supports a charity that benefits his Marine Corps brothers?â She arched an eyebrow. âItâs noble, but I wouldnât call it heroic.â
American Man magazine featured stories about prominent and powerful men across the country, and while Sara had interviewed men from all walks of life, sheâd never been asked to do a story on a guy simply because heâd supported a good cause. Not unless heâd backed that good cause with millions of his own hard-earned dollars, and Sara was pretty sure that kind of contribution was way above a gunnery sergeantâs pay grade.
