The SEAL's Angel
by Petie McCarty
BLURB:
The SEAL's Angel is
the third story in the Mystery Angel Romance [MAR] series. Each stand-alone love
story in the series has an angel hidden in the plot, and the angel's identity
isn't revealed until the finale -- unless the reader figures it out first.
In The SEAL's Angel,
Navy SEAL Sean MacKay's teammate is murdered after stealing a deadly nerve-gas
formula from Syrian terrorists. Naval Intelligence believes MacKay's teammate
was a traitor and shipped the stolen formula to his sister in the states for
safekeeping. MacKay is given orders to find the sister before the terrorists do
and to retrieve the stolen formula at all costs.
Foreclosure looms for
Cory Rigatero as she fights to keep her rustic resort near Mt. St. Helens
afloat after her brother deserted her to join the SEAL Teams. Cory's whole
world dives into a tailspin when Sean MacKay shows up at her resort with the
news of her brother's death and the wild suspicion her brother may have sent
her traitorous classified documents. No way will Cory trust MacKay -- the man
who once seduced her and then vanished into the night without a trace.
EXCERPT:
Her assailant wrestled her further
into the cabin. Cory fought with everything she had until she spied Vern
sprawled on the floor behind her desk. She gasped into the cloth and ceased her
struggling. Was Vern dead? Rage welled up, and she redoubled her efforts to
break free, breathing heavily now. A wave of dizziness swamped her and made it
hard to connect with her punches and kicks. Must be drugs in the cloth.
"Be still," her assailant
growled. His fetid breath washed over her cheek.
Dear Lord, it was him! The Syrian
who'd attacked her in her bedroom.
She jerked her head fiercely to get
free of the tainted cloth, feeling weaker with each attempt. The sound of
shattering glass penetrated the haze trying to settle over her mind. A
spine-tingling snarl echoed close by.
Cory cried out beneath the cloth,
but her movements grew labored. A loud wail erupted near her head, and the
cloth fell away from her face. She greedily sucked in gulps of fresh oxygen as
the sound of shrieks and snarls mixed together in the close quarters of the
cabin. She tried to shake off the muddled haze as her assailant wrestled a dark
form on the floor.
Garth?
The front window was non-existent
save for a few jagged pieces of glass still clinging to the frame. Garth had
her assailant on the floor, his jaws shaking the man's arm side to side. She
looked around for a weapon. She had to help Garth.
Man and dog wrestled across the
floor. Vern suddenly groaned, and Cory flew to his side. As she tried to roll
him over, she felt the thirty-eight lodged in his back waistband. She snatched
the gun and reared up right as Garth yelped from a kick to his ribs. The
assailant broke free of the Lab and spied Cory aiming the gun.
