MEET BRETT WEAVER HERO OF BOTH BREAKING THROUGH (BOOK2 OF THE SEAL TEAM HEARTBREAKERS SERIES) AND MY LATEST RELEASE BUILDING TIES (BOOK 4 OF THE SEAL TEAM HEARTBREAKERS SERIES)
Hey, my name’s
Brett Weaver and I’m an Ensign in the Navy. I’m originally from Kentucky, but
my duty station is out of Coronado right now. That probably tells you things I
can’t. I’ve been deployed for the last ten months to places you won’t ever want
to vacation to.
Being
deployed for long stretches of time really sucks. It isn’t the absence of
amenities that’s the biggest challenge, though not having access to a shower
now and then is one of the worst things. And missing out on home cooked meals
is another, because MREs leave a lot to be desired, though they do keep you
going. But being away from the people who mean the most to you— that’s the
hardest. Especially when they need
you and you aren’t there. Me and the other guys experience a lot of guilt
because we’re too far away to lend anything but vocal support when shit hits
the fan at home. If we’re told when
it hits the fan. Sometimes our families hold back things to keep us from
worrying.
So you can
image how fucking guilty I felt when I got word that someone had blown up my
fiancée’s car. Thank God Tess wasn’t in it, though she could have been. The
only good thing that came out of it was I was invited home by homeland security
and the powers that be decided they’d comply so I got to bug out and fly home
to be with her. Great timing, because our wedding is scheduled to take place in
a few weeks. I was beginning to doubt I was going to make it.
Just
occupying the same space with Tess after so long was fucking amazing. I couldn’t
seem to stop looking at her, touching her. Being deployed has given me some
time to think about how I want our marriage to work. Because once we’re
married, she’ll have to put up with a lot of shit. Mainly my being gone so much
of the time.
She’s already
put up with my being gone for ten months with only infrequent phone calls. She’s
earned a little TLC so I’m going to do whatever I can to make her happy. As
long as those things don’t conflict with what Uncle Sam needs from me.
Because
being who I am and what I am, it’s a calling. And I’ve signed a contract saying
I’m willing to lay down my life to protect and defend my country. My obligation
to the good ol’ USA has to come first. Tess knows that, even though sometimes
accepting it is tough.
And we’ll
have a few weeks to take care of the asshole who blew up her car. Between the
two of us we’ll figure it out and he’ll wish he hadn’t messed with my Tess.

Navy SEAL Brett 'Cutter'
Weaver is on a mission to Nicaragua when he learns his bride-to-be, Tess Kelly,
has been injured in a car bombing. At Homeland Security’s demand, he’s rushed
home on the next available transport and arrives to find Tess embroiled in
three controversial stories. One may offer the key to her attacker.
On top of the emotional and
physical upheaval of the bombing, Tess has been offered the journalistic
opportunity of a lifetime at the Washington Post. If she accepts the job, she
and Brett face living on opposite sides of the country. With their wedding two
weeks away, she has temptations to face and tough decisions to make.
Serving as her security
detail, Brett sees Tess’s remarkable investigative reporting skills in action,
and acts as her sounding board and partner. He’s willing to sacrifice to ensure
her happiness, but more, he wants to keep her safe. Because there’s a killer
stalking her, and one interview at a time, they mean to catch him.

Navy SEAL Oliver ‘Greenback’ 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 struggled with a terrible
secret in his absence—a secret which might 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, led by her husband, to see it
through. But in Oliver’s line of work, his military duty must come first.
Still reeling after her first diagnosis they then learn
Selena is also 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 true to the SEAL code, Oliver never gives up. And Selena
proves valor doesn’t just live on the battlefield, but in every person’s heart.

Next week KaLyn Cooper, author of Explosive Combination, will pick up the torch and carry it forward for this Meet the Characters Blog Tour.
KaLyn Cooper's romances blend fact and fiction with blazing heat and heart-pounding suspense. Twenty-two years as a military wife has shown KaLyn the world, and thirty years in PR taught her that fact can be stranger than fiction. She leaves it up to the reader to separate truth from imagination. She, her husband, and bird dog live in Tennessee on a micro-plantation filled with gardens, cattle, and quail. When she's not writing, she's at the shooting range or on the river.
EXCERPT
Harper heard the click of her
bedroom door unlocking. Knowing her role as his pretend lover, she ran to the
door. “Who’s there?’
“It’s me.” Rafe strolled in as if
he had the right to her room, and her.
In nothing but dark silk boxers
riding low on narrow hips, he was outlined in yellow by the dim hall lights.
His broad shoulders filled the doorway. As he moved toward her, light caught
raised pectoral muscles and flashes of well-defined six-pack abs. His swagger
defined testosterone in motion. He was a specimen of pure male confidence and
dominance.
He addressed the guards at the
door. “Take a break. I’ll let you know when you need to come back. I’m going to
enjoy my woman for a while.” He left the door open enough for his guards to watch
as he claimed Harper, yanking her into his arms and covering her mouth with
his.
His kiss was heaven and sin
wrapped in one hard body. And he was hard everywhere.
Rafe slipped his hands around
her, and she felt their heat through the thin silk of her nightgown. Intensity
built quickly within her, and she grabbed his head, shoving her fingers through
his silky dark curls. He pulled her forcefully against his body, but she didn’t
resist. No man had ever made her feel this way so fast.
At the click of the door, Harper
tried to shove Rafe back, but his solid body didn’t move. She had to get away
from him before she lost her senses, so she stepped out of his embrace.
“That
should get them talking.” Her voice was roughened, but she kept it low. “The
whole compound will know you were in my room by breakfast.” She walked over to
the nightstand and pulled a bottle of chilled water from an ice bucket. She
needed to cool down, from the inside out. She cracked the seal, chugged down
half of it, and then set it on the nightstand. “I’m going to bed…and to sleep.”
BLURB
Separately, Harper Tambini and Rafe
Silva are lethal…together, they’re explosive.
ATF Special Agent Harper Tambini is
kidnapped by a Colombian drug lord and forced to use her explosives knowledge
to kill his competition before she can escape with the help of undercover CIA
agent Rafe Silva. As they make their way through the rivers, mountains and
jungles, their desire for each other detonates. But Harper reminds Rafe of his
murdered fiancée, and the shadow world he wants to leave. Harper learned the
hard way that men never stay, so now she doesn’t keep them around long enough
to see if the sparks can light a fire that will last forever. In their short
time together, can they crystalize a relationship, or will it all blow up?
