A SEAL Team Heartbreakers Duet: Breaking Ties & Breaking Point - Teresa J. Reasor - Bog

THE SEAL TEAM HEARTBREAKER NOVELLAS BREAKING TIES: Ensign Oliver Shaker is used to making sacrifices in service to his country. Yet he's blindsided when he returns from a training rotation and learns his wife, Selena, has kept a terrible secret for weeks, as she waited for him to come home-a secret that may require a sacrifice he's not prepared to make. Faced with a life threatening illness, Selena wants to follow the same code of strength and perseverance her husband does as a SEAL, but she can't go it alone. She needs a team, headed by her husband, to see it through. But in Oliver's line of work, duty comes first. Still reeling from her first diagnosis, they learn Selena is pregnant. Now with two lives hanging in the balance, the emotional and physical toll stretches the ties that bind their marriage to the breaking point. But as a SEAL, Oliver never gives up. And Selena proves valor and courage don't just live on the battlefield, but in every person's heart. BREAKING POINT: After fifteen years of marriage, Trish Marks has hit her breaking point. Her social work caseload has doubled, her son is acting out, and her SEAL husband is never home. Something has to give. When she's shot and nearly killed by an irate husband during a home check, it does. Navy SEAL Senior Chief Petty Officer Langley Marks is five years away from retirement and his pension. He knows there's trouble in his marriage when he returns home from a deployment to a wife who's distant, overworked, stressed, and unhappy. He's only seen her like this once before, when she nearly died after giving birth to their last child. When she's shot, he re-lives that terrible experi- ence, and feels just as helpless. But he's not about to fly away and leave her to fight her way back alone this time. He's willing to sacrifice it all to prove to her she's the most important thing in his life. He just has to find a way to make her believe it.
