Navy SEAL Rescuer by Shirlee McCoy

Judy: Navy SEAL Rescuer by Shirlee McCoy
Heroes for Hire Series Book 7
Catherine Miller had been in prison for four years and free only a few months now. She just wants to keep to herself and be with her grandmother, Eileen, who is quite ill. Even though she was innocent of the crimes that put her away….people won’t leave it be. Someone has been vandalizing their home and vehicle. And now it’s getting up close and physical. Why can’t she just be left alone? To finally have freedom only to lose it to the prison of fear. On top of that her handsome neighbor is way too good to be true and much too close for her comfort.

Darius Osborne has moved into the farmhouse next to Catherine, well as close as a neighbor can be in the country. He returned from Afghanistan after he was injured and now works for his friend, Ryder Malone, at Personal Securities Incorporated. He’s been alone too long and was looking forward to putting down roots and making friends. He was on his first day of a two week vacation with his to-do list in hand when a few loud screams from outside changed his plans and his life.

We meet both Catherine and Darius in the previous book, Undercover Bodyguard. I'm glad that I read that book first as it lays the ground work for why Catherine was in prison and who the real culprit was in the murders she was accused of. If you enjoy series books and like reading about men and women who will put their own life on the line to protect those around them….then you may want to start from book 1. The characters in these stories aren’t perfect and they face plenty of danger and in some cases, grief but there is always the belief that God is still in control and the beauty of a romance manages to bloom and grow through the dark times.
