HOT Courage

Noah Cross serves on Strike Team 2, an elite unit, and his call sign, Easy, fits a man who has always made hard situations look simple. That changes when he becomes responsible for a two-year-old girl. Between the dangerous missions that protect his country and a military career he has no plans to leave, he has no idea how to raise a toddler. His answer is to hire a nanny, and he knows exactly who he wants.

Jenna Lane has been on the move since she saw something she should not have. She takes odd jobs to get by and never stays in one place for long. When she loses her current job, her situation becomes desperate, and then the man she has secretly been drawn to offers her a way out. She accepts, even though the job could put him and his little girl in danger. As their feelings grow, Jenna realizes she must find the nerve to tell Noah the truth, all while a killer is still out there and ready to strike again.

This is part of the Hostile Operations Team series, specifically Strike Team 2, and it can be read on its own. The story combines action, romance and suspense, with plenty of heat between the leads. The characters are faithful to each other, there are no cliffhangers, and the book promises a happy ending.
