Buttoned-up Corporal Kaitlyn Amador is dangerous on every level. As a human, she poses a threat to Marine Captain Jax Raymond’s special Force Recon unit. Though the team has a reputation among the other recon units, only their commanding officer knows their secret. As a woman, the danger posed is entirely different. Jax can survive the temptation for only so long before his wolf takes over and pursues what it wants.
Military intelligence specialist Corporal Kaitlyn Amador is the first woman in the Marines to be assigned to a recon team. And everyone’s watching her. Her mission? Not only prove herself worthy of her place in the group, but uncover the mystery of why Bravo Team is so successful. A mission that gets more difficult every time she’s near Jax…

“That’s a long drive.” A hint of reproach toughened
his tone, but he didn’t chastise her about the tires.
“Not too bad, but it’s nice to be out of the car.”
In more ways than one. She’d changed into her blues at the last rest stop.
Prior to that, she’d been in jeans. She kind of missed those jeans right now.
It would be nice to just hang out with him, two random strangers…
“I bet.”
“How about you?”
“On my way back from leave.” He didn’t sound like
he wanted to talk about work, assignments, or deployments. “Tell you what,
let’s table the work convo.”
Kat chuckled. A man after her own heart. “Kind of
hard to ignore the work aspect, considering I’m wearing a uniform.”
“I’m really good at pretend.” The promise of
something wicked danced in his eyes.
“Are you, now?”
“Hell, yeah, and I’ve decided we’re going to have a
good time over lunch. We’ll laugh, we’ll talk, and we’ll get to know each
other.” God help her, he was temptation on a stick. Why couldn’t she have met
him back at Quantico?
Where was the harm? I’m on my way to a secret assignment to investigate a classified force
recon team. I can see lots of harm. Still, they were only having lunch.
Lunch and pie. “So you have a plan?”
“Absolutely. The only question I have is, are you
onboard?”
Their food arrived, and the burgers smelled
mouthwateringly good. Kat’s stomach rumbled audibly. With food in front of her,
she could pour all her pent-up interest into eating.
Licking her lips, she unfolded a napkin then met
his gaze. “I’m totally onboard,” she told him, especially since she could use a
break before she immersed herself in Bravo Team culture. “But only for the
burger.”
“Hard to compete with Martha’s burgers,” he agreed
as he pulled his burger to him. The first bite she took was so good, she damn
near groaned. The meat was hot, the onions crisp, and the tomato sweet. Damn.
Then her gaze locked with Jax’s as he raised his burger. She found herself
mirroring the action, and they both bit into their burgers at the same time and
sighed. It went beyond intimacy, the way his eyes seemed to caress her and the
warmth invaded her veins.
Trying to laugh off the crazy sensation, she
lowered her burger. “Okay, that was a little more food porn than I’m used to
with my meals.”
“We need to feed you more, then.”
“Sounds—meaty.” And
I sound like an idiot. She
grimaced. “I’m terrible at the flirting thing.”
“No, you’re not. Flirting is just play, and I think
you’re playing fine. Besides, porn isn’t playing. Porn is good.” To illustrate
his point, he took another big bite and lifted his eyebrows as though to invite
her to join him. Lifting her burger, she repeated their earlier move and held
his gaze as they took another bite. It was so ridiculous and fun in the same
breath, she almost laughed.
