His Plus One — Kate Aster

Graydon Adler: A man who's impossible to forget. Yet the first time our paths crossed on a SEAL mission – the kind that requires computer nerds like me to mingle with SEALs like him – I was so terrified that I barely remember him there. But every time after that? Oh, I remember plenty… Abs for days, shoulders that fill up a doorway, and a hard-earned SEAL trident on his uniform. Years later, he's hitting me up for the kind of favor that would fill any woman with utter rapture – pretend I'm his date on a wedding cruise to get his family off his decidedly muscular back. Now I'm on a ship destined for paradise with a man who could shatter my heart. Because computer nerds like me don't end up with SEALs like him. But I'll indulge in this fantasy, hating that I want so much more of this. Hating that this will end. It's too glorious – too addictive – being his plus one.
