About this ebook
Six months ago, Siobhan Cantrell’s world was changed forever by a sniper’s bullet. The incident transformed her from a secure confident woman to a recluse, afraid to leave her own home. When her friends urge her to re-enter the world of the living, they suggest Madame Eve’s 1Night Stand dating service. Nervous, she signs up and learns the company is renown for in-depth background checks and safe encounters. So, how dangerous could it be?
Sergeant Bobby Martin has witnessed Madame Eve’s magic firsthand. His teammate found true love through her service. Still a skeptic but giving in to peer pressure, the Air Force Pararescueman signs himself up. When he meets Siobhan, his doubts fly out the window—unfortunately bullets start flying in them. Determined to protect her from a sniper that won’t give up, Bobby vows to keep her safe. As their chemistry ramps up, so does the sniper’s attempts.
Can Bobby keep Siobhan alive, or will the killer catch them in his sights?

Prologue
Bobby stood on the dune, studying the gleaming black Hummer’s retreat. A dozen tin cans tethered to the bumper trailed over the sand behind it. The vehicle held his best friend, Colin Beckett, and Emily, his new wife of three hours. He’d played an instrumental part in getting them together, and it ate him up inside. Not that he wasn’t happy for them, he was. The changes he’d seen in Colin since finally accepting Emily’s love had been huge.
He gritted his teeth. His friend would never know just how damn close he’d been to claiming Emily for himself. After a year of trying to get the stubborn man to accept a future, he’d helped her set up a blind date through Madame Eve’s 1Night Stand. Fortunately for them, it had worked. Unfortunately for him, it’d left him as only the best friend, best man, and godfather to their daughter.
The Hummer turned out onto the main road. He knew his friends’ marriage was right. Colin exemplified strength, honor, and valor. He loved Emily and would see to her happiness. And his new wife? She was the most amazing woman he’d ever met. She loved with a fierceness he’d rarely seen. He just wished she’d felt the same way about him.
Damn it. He needed to stop pining for a woman who didn’t belong to him, never had been his. Hell, he hadn’t even kissed her. He frowned. He just wasn’t sure another woman would ever measure up.
A hard grip fell heavy on his shoulder. Shit. He hadn’t even heard his teammate walk up beside him.
Better get over those puppy dog eyes, Bobcat.
Zeke handed him a cold bottle of Corona. I know damn well it’s not the LT you’re sad to see go.
He snatched the beer. Back off, Diz.
Oh, come on. Don’t get your panties in a wad. Just making an observation is all.
Yeah? Why don’t you go observe one of those jellyfish in the surf? Up close and personal.
Damn, he didn’t need Zeke’s ribbing. He was six beers into a damn good pity party and had no intention of stopping.
Bobby knocked back the Corona. The Hummer would be headed down US 98 toward the Pensacola International Airport. Pivoting on his heel, he marched down the dune to where the reception had thinned out. The commander and most of the civilian guests had already departed. The diehards remaining consisted of the team and their dates.
Isabelle had left with the babysitter an hour ago and would be snuggled in bed before long. She was his responsibility for the week, but he’d made arrangements for tonight—he wasn’t fit company for a dog, much less a two-year-old.
Reaching the cooler, he grabbed
