BLURB:
After fifteen long, dangerous years in the service, Navy SEAL Clay Pickett is ready for his new mission: build a model sustainable community and show the world an exciting alternative to a consumption-based life. If that means he’s got a deadline to find a wife in order to win the reality TV show that’s filming his sustainable adventure, so be it. He’s got just the woman for the job in mind: beautiful, dedicated Nora Ridgeway. When Nora left her job as a school teacher in Baltimore to live a simpler, Jane Austen style life in Montana with her friends, she was relieved to escape the escalating threats of violence from an unknown student stalker, but she can’t help feeling she’s abandoned the other high schoolers who put their faith in her. She’s torn about Clay’s advances, too. On the one hand she’s never met anyone like the strong, sexy SEAL. On the other hand, life’s taught her to take relationships slow—and Clay’s on a deadline. When arson strikes and Nora disappears, Clay knows he’ll need every trick he learned in his time with the SEALs to track her down and save her life. Can two people caught by their pasts have a chance at a future?

Excerpt:
Reluctantly, Nora stood and crossed the room as directed. She knew there was no getting out of these interviews, but she wasn’t looking forward to them. I’m here to write, she reminded herself. There’s nothing remotely interesting about me. Viewers will get bored of me in about two minutes and then everyone will leave me alone.
She felt pretentious posed by the piano, especially since she didn’t play, but Renata seemed happy with the arrangement. When the camera man was satisfied that the light was acceptable, she began.
“Clay’s pretty hot, huh, Nora? All those muscles?”
Nora blinked. She opened her mouth, then closed it again. “I… uh…wouldn’t know,” she finally gasped.
“Funny, you couldn’t keep your eyes off of him in our meeting just now.”
“I… I’m not—I didn’t… That’s not true!” Nora was appalled. She hadn’t pictured anything like this when she’d agreed to be on the show. It wasn’t that she was naïve—she knew what reality television was like, but she didn’t expect to be attacked for looking at Clay.
“So you’re telling me you don’t find him the least bit attractive?”
“I didn’t say that!” Nora felt her cheeks heat. Damn it, she hadn’t meant to say that, either.
“So you do find him attractive.”
“I didn’t—” Nora broke off in confusion.
“You can’t have it both ways,” Renata retorted. “So which is it?” The smile she flashed at Nora was downright evil. Nora promised herself she’d get her revenge someday.
“I guess… I find him attractive,” she admitted through gritted teeth.
“He needs to marry in the next forty days.” Renata eyed her shrewdly. “Will you be the blushing bride?”
“Absolutely not,” Nora snapped. “Now, if we’re finished here—”
“Oh, no—you don’t get to leave yet.” Renata moved to intercept her when Nora headed for the door. “We’ve only gotten started.”
