A Seal's Touch. Tawny Weber

      

      Subject: Navy SEAL Taylor Powell

      Mission: Find a sexy fake girlfriend...with even sexier benefits!

      Lieutenant Taylor “The Wizard” Powell has a reputation for getting out of tricky situations. Bad guys, bombs, weapons—no problem. Finding a girlfriend in order to evade matchmaking friends? Not so easy. He’s banking on contractor Cat Peres to help him out...not realizing his tomboy friend has a whole lot of sexy surprises hidden in her tool belt.

      Cat can’t remember a time when Taylor wasn’t the object of her hottest dreams—so she can’t help but agree to his plan. Their only rule? Friends, no matter what. Except the deliciously hot chemistry that ignites between them takes them both by surprise...and having nothing between them might just ruin everything.

      Can’t resist a sexy military hero?

      Then you’ll love our Uniformly Hot! miniseries.

      Harlequin Blaze’s bestselling miniseries continues with more irresistible men from all branches of the armed forces.

      Dear Reader,

      The friends-to-lovers theme is one of my favorites because there is a deeper level of intimacy between people who’ve known each other for a long time. And, of course, it’s fun to see them discover each other in this sexy new way.

      Added to that, I had such a great time exploring beaches and bonfires and oceanside fun in A SEAL’s Touch. In doing so, I realized that there’s something extra sexy about a beachside romance, especially when it’s between two people who’ve been friends for years. Add in a military ball and there’s more romance than either Taylor or Cat had bargained for.

      But it was so fun to write, especially because I enjoyed seeing these two characters who thought they were so wrong for each other realize just how right they were. I hope you enjoy reading Cat and Taylor’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it!

      I’d love to hear what you think. Stop by my website, tawnyweber.com, for lots of book information, contests, giveaways and more!

      Happy reading,

      FRESH OFF A mission deep in the vicious heart of the Afghan desert, Taylor Powell strode down the gangplank of the aircraft carrier, his pack under one arm and the sea air dampening his skin. The sun, just starting to peek over the horizon, would melt the mist away soon enough, but for now Taylor welcomed the chill.

      It’d been damned hot where he’d been.

      His fingers tapped a tattoo on the butt of his sidearm. Yeah. It’d been hot. A ghost of a frown slid over his face, the only sign he’d allow as images flashed through his mind. Maybe a little too hot.

      He breathed deep the fresh sea air, letting it cool his lungs and his thoughts.

      “Yo, Wizard. You owe me fifty bucks.”

      “Don’t you mean you owe me fifty?” Taylor slowed, throwing a grin over his shoulder at SEAL team member Shane O’Brian. “Face it, Scavenger. You’re getting soft.”

      “Soft, hell,” Shane muttered with a grin.

      “Now that you’ve hooked up with that sweet little brunette, you’re like a stuffed teddy bear. Supposed to be so big and tough, but feather soft inside.”

      “Feather soft, my ass.”
