FORGED IN FIRE
DELOS #3
Lindsay McKenna
Releasing Dec 3rd, 2015
Blue Turtle Publishing
Pediatrician Dara McKinley loves her
job. So how could she say no when her sister asks her to come to Kabul for a
few weeks to offer medical assistance at a local orphanage? Terrified of the
dangers surrounding her, Dara finds unexpected solace in the protective arms of
Sergeant Matt Culver. Transfixed by the warrior with the exotic gold eyes, can
Dara overcome her fears?
Matt, a Delta Force operator, has
always listened to his instincts, and they have yet to steer him wrong. So when
he sees the alluring blond belly dancer at Bagram’s annual holiday show, he
knows without a doubt that she’s “the one.” Now he just has to convince her to
take a chance on him…and love. If they survive…
Excerpt
Dara studied Matt in the growing
silence as he put everything away in his ruck. He sat down, spread out another
small blanket, and began to clean his rifle. His hands moved with such swift,
knowing ease as he dismantled it, oiled it, and put it back together again that
she was amazed.
“How
are they feeling?”
he asked, glancing at her knees as he
wiped down his rifle.
“Better.”
“How
much better?”
The corner of her mouth lifted. “About
twenty percent better. The swelling is down, thanks to those ice packs you put
on them.”
“I
wish I had more. I pack four to a ruck. We can do it one more time.”
“Do
you have ibuprofen on you?”
Matt set the rifle against the wall
and stood up, pulling the ruck over. “I should have thought to give you
some because that lidocaine must be wearing off,”
he said apologetically.
“There’s a lot going on, Matt. It’s okay.”
He pulled out the bottle and dropped
two into her open palm. Uncapping a bottle of water and handing it to her, he
said, “These
are eight hundred milligrams. They should help a lot.”
“They
will,” Dara said, popping the pills and
slugging the water down. Capping it, she handed it back to him. “How
are you doing, Matt? You’re the
one carrying all the heavy loads here, the responsibility.” She could see the concern deep in his
eyes and could almost read his thoughts about all the issues he had to consider
in order to save their lives.
“I’m okay,”
he reassured her, frowning.
“And
you wouldn’t tell me the truth if you weren’t.”
He shot her an appreciative look,
then winked, and her heart melted. Now she knew where his mind was, and she
grinned.
Matt was her only defense against
being found by the Taliban, and she knew that if they were captured, it wouldn’t be good. Even as a civilian, she
knew that, but she had no experience beyond that to imagine what could happen
to them.
He was an enemy combatant. Would they
kill him? Keep her? And then what? Torture her? Rape her? Sell her like the
little girls and boys kidnapped and taken across the Pakistan border as sex
slaves? She shivered; there was nothing good about any of the possibilities and
Dara struggled not to mention them.
Matt rose and moved over to her. He
knelt beside Dara’s right hip, framing her face with
his hands. Leaning over, he caressed her lips gently, tasting her, feeling her
immediate response. Lifting his mouth away, he growled, “I
want you. I keep thinking about the other night in bed with you. I want more,
Dara. A helluva lot more.”
He captured her mouth again, opening
her, deepening the kiss, allowing his feelings to be a part of it. He heard a
soft sound in the back of her throat, her hands automatically sliding around
his shoulders, pulling him as close as she possibly could.

McKenna lives her
life as a risk taker, and it shines through the books she loves to write:
romance, adventure and suspense. She started writing at age thirteen and
continues to hone her writing skills to this day. She sold her first romance novel
in 1981. The rest is history.

the first military romance novel (Captive of Fate, 1983, Silhouette Special
Edition) and has created a thriving sub-genre within the romance field! As a
New York Times Best Selling author, she has sold 23 million books and in 32
foreign languages in her career thus far. Her many experiences in the U.S. Navy
are backdrop for her understanding of the military in general, and also her
very successful Morgan’s Mercenaries, which is an ongoing series in Silhouette
to this day! Forty-five books strong!
Lindsay has gone Indie in 2015 and
has created a new family saga on par with Morgan’s Mercenaries It is known as
the DELOS SERIES. There will be paperback and eBooks created under Blue Turtle
Publishing, her company for her fans. Readers who love Morgan and his family
are bound to fall in love with the Culver family. Delos is romantic suspense,
