      “Grab the ladder!” someone shouted faintly.

      Nissa grabbed it with both hands and wrapped her legs around the rope, hanging on with superhuman strength she didn’t know she possessed. God bless adrenaline.

      A big green shape came up the ladder. It didn’t stop at her feet, though. It moved up behind her until the SEAL’s head was at her waist.

      “Keep going!” Cole shouted.

      Not. A. Chance.

      No way was she letting go of the rope to keep climbing.

      He climbed until his head was level with hers, his body spooning hers, his longer arms grasping the rope ladder around her slender frame. Warmth from his body penetrated the back of her wet suit as he plastered his entire body against hers.

      “One foot. Just put your right foot up one rung for me,” he shouted into her ear as another huge gust of wind buffeted them. “It’ll be calmer on the deck of the ship.” His breath was warm against her exposed cheek. He felt alive. Vital. Real in the midst of this unreal nightmare.

      Dear Reader,

      I’m super excited to finally give you Commander Cole “Frosty” Perriman’s story! You’ve waited through a bunch of books for him to get his very own happily-ever-after, and you’ve totally earned this one.

      Nissa Beck is a CIA psychological operations officer, and the only woman I can imagine giving Cole a run for his money. But can she break through his icy reserve to find the passion lurking beneath? I don’t envy her the task...

      And may I take this moment to apologize for the opening scene? It positively gave me the shivers to write. You might want to get a few bland crackers and nibble on them as you start this book. I recommend a hot beverage of your choice, too. And maybe a cozy chair next to a warm fire. Oh, and a blanket. There. Now we’re all ready to settle in and enjoy the wild ride as Cole and Nissa chase down one of the most dangerous men in the world and dare to love each other.

      Happy reading!

      Cindy
