Her Lieutenant Protector

By Lara Lacombe

A mysterious outbreak propels a doctor and a wounded warrior into escalating danger...

After a traumatic incident years before, Mallory Watkins, the ship's doctor aboard the Abigail Adams, doesn't trust easily. On her latest cruise, she's wary of sexy security chief Everest LeBeau, but when passengers suddenly fall sick and a dead body is uncovered, Mallory must turn to the handsome veteran for help.

Wary of intimacy since suffering a life–changing injury, Everest recognises a kindred spirit in Mallory. His beautiful coworker stirs tender feelings in him he'd long forgotten. While Everest and Mallory close in on a lethal saboteur, trust is at a premium as their hearts – and their lives – are in peril.
