Guarding Suzie — Nicole Flockton

After getting out of a bad relationship, Suzie Waterson has worked hard for her independence. Nothing is going to throw her off track, even if her life is taking a turn she hadn't planned on thanks to one night with a sexy Navy SEAL three months ago.

 When Ryan ‘Joker' Smith gets shot on a mission, the last person he expects to see walk into his hospital room is the woman he hasn't been able to forget. Her reluctance to have anything to do with him only makes him more determined to be front and center in her life.

 Thanks to her past, Suzie can't give up her hard fought control over her life, though Ryan's sweet patience and sensual kisses, makes her want to. But when her life is threatened, she needs Ryan more than ever. Will he make it in time or will their chance to be together be lost forever?
