Danger Close — Marliss Melton

Navy SEAL Sam Sasseville resents being called upon to repeatedly rescue Madison Scott-an oil tycoon's daughter-from trouble of her own making. Just weeks after extracting her from drug-riddled Mexico, Maddy disappears into the terrorist-threatened region of El Chaco, Paraguay.

Dedicated to protecting the world's last agricultural frontier from her family-owned oil wells, Maddy knows her long-dead activist mother would approve of her work, even if that blasted Navy SEAL doesn't.

But between the terrorists trying to nab her and the shadowy assassin intent on snuffing out her life, Maddy and Sam discover a common goal -- keeping her alive -- while Sam faces a difficult choice: love Maddy just the way she is, or walk away with just his pride for company.
