Gator

It's quite a blow to the team to lose the ambassador to Niger, especially when they were warned of the threat. But whomever is behind the death, it's not the simple terrorists who take credit for it. Gator suspects it goes much deeper and is all about the presence of the U.S. in West Africa. While the SEALs work with the CIA to secure Niger and the embassy, a replacement ambassador shows up to take over the running of the busy embassy and the staff. Gator is knocked for a loop at the sight of Isabelle Theriot, someone from his past. He can't seem to get her off his mind, and when his creole blood stirs, there's plenty of heat generated.Isabelle is saddened by the loss of the ambassador, but she's been sent on a mission, and everything regarding that mission is classified. Keeping secrets from Navy SEALs could become problematic and soon gets tense once Gator recognizes her as the woman who had saved him and his teammate. Gator isn't keen on her being in charge and thinks a new ambassador has a target on her back, but he has his orders. She tells him that's why he will be her bodyguard. As they dig deeper, they discover where the threat is coming from and why. It's a world-changing revelation. Can Isabelle and Gator manage to handle not only the secrets she keeps, but the political, emotional and physical aspects of an affair that both of them may want to become permanent...if they survive.
