Deacon Johns — Ciana Stone

He's a natural born leader and as Commander of a Seal team, spent most of his adult life doing just that. Now he's training men to become fighting machines -- still in command. At least of the men in his charge. When it come to his love life, he is about to find himself spinning out of control, and he's not quite sure what to do about it. It's rare he meets a woman he wants more than a night or two of pleasure with. Rarer still to find one that intriques him. To meet a woman who surpasses those expectations is unexpected, exciting. And something he can't let himself indulge in. He won't let himself become involved. She has other ideas.
