I surf.
I fuck.
I pretend to smile.
Two years ago my life was perfect, until it wasn’t. I scattered my wife’s ashes then walked away from the Marines. I didn’t think I had anything else to lose.
I was wrong.
The blond showed up at my surf shop, beaten and stabbed. I did what I was trained to do—I stitched her up. I didn’t have a clue who she was and I told myself I didn’t care. Until they came looking for her.
I swore I’d take my last breath before I let anyone else hurt her except I didn’t know she was keeping a deadly secret. Now I had two choices, her life or mine.
Marriage and combat taught me the same thing—I was no one’s hero. And I was about to prove it.

Her
head turned away from me and I panicked. Then I said something to her I’d never
said to another woman.
“I
just wanna hold you in my arms and sleep next to you.” I needed her innocence.
More than anything.
“Okay,”
she whispered.
Taking
her hand, I led her to my bedroom. I wanted to see her scar. I wanted to see
her ink. I wanted to sink so deep inside her I forgot my name. But I wouldn’t.
Not tonight. Maybe not ever. “Get in bed,” I demanded, my voice strained.
I
pulled my shirt off and removed my 9mm from my back waistband as she crawled
across my sheets. Drinking in the sight of her like a starved man, I unbuckled
my belt, unlaced my boots, and stripped down to my boxers. My chest tight, I
got in next to her.
The
second I pulled her into my arms, my lungs filled with air. “Fuck, you feel
good.” If there was a heaven in my fucked-up life, she was it.
Her
hand settled on my arm. “Are you okay?”
I
didn’t want to talk or think anymore. I just wanted to lose myself in jasmine innocence.
“Go to sleep, beautiful.”
She
turned her head just enough to meet my mouth with a tender touch of her lips.
“Goodnight, Talon.”
Jesus,
I didn’t deserve this. This girl was better than being my landing zone. I
grabbed her face and slipped my tongue in her mouth to taste her sweetness,
just once. Forcing myself to pull back, I tightened my arms and curved my body
protectively around her. “Night, Siren.”
She
settled into me like she belonged and minutes later her breathing evened out.
It was
the fix I’d been looking for. I fell asleep.

Author Info
Sybil
Bartel grew up in Northern California with her head in a book and her feet in
the sand. She dreamt of becoming a painter but the heady scent of libraries
with their shelves full of books drew her into the world of storytelling. She
loves the New Adult genre, but any story about a love so desperately wrong and
impossibly beautiful makes her swoon.
Sybil
now resides in Southern Florida and while she doesn’t get to read as much as she
likes, she still buries her toes in the sand. If she isn’t writing or fighting
to contain the banana plantation in her backyard, you can find her spending
time with her handsomely tattooed husband, her brilliantly practical son and a
mischievous miniature boxer…
But
Seriously?
Here
are ten things you probably really want to know about Sybil.
She
grew up a faculty brat. She can swear like a sailor. She loves men in uniform. She
hates being told what to do. She can do your taxes (but don’t ask). The Bird
Market in Hong Kong freaks her out. Her favorite word is desperate…or dirty, or
both—she can’t decide. She has a thing for muscle cars. But never reply on her
for driving directions, ever. And she has a new book boyfriend every week—don’t
tell her husband.
