He made a promise he intends to keep
Harmony Savitt is off-limits for navy SEAL Kyle Bracken. Not only is she his best friend’s little sister, she’s also a single mother and the widow of a fellow SEAL killed in action. This soldier needs to keep his distance. But something between them has changed...
Despite the new complicated feelings he has for Harmony, when his family comes under attack, there’s no one Kyle trusts more than her to help him get answers. When that threat extends to her and her daughter, though, he vows to protect them...even if it means putting his own heart on the line.
Kyle swung the door open. “Inside.”
“No kiss this time?” Harmony asked, testing him. Her chin was high.
“That’s right.” He spoke quietly enough that it didn’t carry into the lobby when he said, “You want to know something I’m afraid of?”
“What’ve you got, superhero?”
“That whatever’s happened between us tonight wiped out everything that came before it. Is that what you want?” he asked.
“Are you kidding me?” For the first time, he saw the nerves behind her brave front. Her chin quavered even as she jabbed him with her finger. “Why do you think I didn’t say anything before? You think I want to lose my best friend?”
He didn’t reply.
She lifted her shoulders in a helpless shrug. “But I guess...at the end of the day...I’m not half as noble as you are.”
A hundred years ago, Lucy Maud Montgomery wrote, “No matter what life might hold for them, it could never alter that. Their happiness was in each other’s keeping.” Anne of Green Gables has clearly stayed with me.
When I set out to write the fifth book in my Fairhope series, I had no plan to draw on books I read as a young girl. I suppose it is no surprise, however, that irrepressible Harmony’s flaming red hair and her lifelong affection for noble Kyle drew subconscious parallels to a certain orphan from Avonlea and her dear friend Gilbert Blythe. By the second chapter, Kyle began to refer to his Harmony as “Carrots” and there may or may not be a reference to that infamous slate-breaking incident...
I’ve always had a soft spot for the friends-to-lovers romance. Harmony and Kyle take it a step further, because when your hero is a tried and true navy SEAL and your aviatrix heroine is an expert in aerobatics, matters like life and death are never far behind.
I have loved every moment of writing this series, mostly because I get to watch characters like Harmony and Kyle dream big, grow up and realize, like Anne, how close to home happiness truly is.
Happy reading!
