“I just…I want you to be happy.”

“Well, husband of mine, what do you say we take our upcoming vacation, and see what happens without birth control?”

Once again, I’m in the air, only this time I’m slung over his shoulder, giggling, as he charges down the hall to our bedroom.

“Wait. It’s still in.”

“You know me. I’m all about the practice. The best things come to those who try, try, and persevere.”

I bounce on our mattress, laughing. There’s so much love. I see it. I hear it. And suddenly I’m not laughing at all.

I love my husband more than I ever thought possible. I love my life, and I love our future.

The Arrow Tactical Team continues with the Beauty trilogy, a modern twist on Grimm’s Rapunzel.

Her sister vanished. Someone’s trying to kill her. And the last person she’d choose to turn to is her only hope.

Alice Watson, a heart transplant survivor, is no stranger to life or death situations. But when her sister goes MIA and an assailant breaks into her house, Alice runs to the only person she knows who can help.

Knox Williams, a former SEAL and member of a black ops private security team, hasn’t seen Alice since he graduated from the Naval Academy with her brother.

And while the attraction he felt for her then is still present, seeing Alice also brings back memories of the night her brother died. A night he’ll forever hold himself responsible for.

Though his feelings are much deeper than guilt, Knox pushes them aside to keep his former friend and comrade’s sister safe.

All clues point to Alice’s sister, a scientist on the Cayman Islands, as the reason for Alice’s current danger. It’s clear whoever has her will do whatever it takes to silence Alice.

As Knox and Alice close in on the truth behind her sister's vanishing, they are plunged into mortal peril that tests their newfound relationship. Will they save her sister in time or will they become the next victims?
