Mmm...first encounters. I love it when characters in both movies and novels meet for the first time. It sets the tone for what's to come. Sometimes there's snap, crackle, sizzle...or maybe there's that slow burn of borderline contempt that you just know is gonna be fun to watch.
Today we're looking at the first meeting between a hot Navy Seal and a CIA agent…what could possibly go wrong? Maybe the fact that neither knows who the other works for? Hmm…let's see what happens.

Amalfi Affair (Navy
Seals of Valor 1)
Blurb:
On a cycling tour
through the Swiss Alps, CIA agent, Olivia Simpson, meets handsome Navy SEAL,
Darryl Jennings. Her lust shifts into overdrive for this man on leave from
missions he won’t discuss. A one night stands leads to a blissful week
traveling the Amalfi Coast. Because of their secretive careers, their love
affair is destined to end. Olivia immerses herself into her Intelligence work
with memories of Darryl never far from the surface. When she receives a
surprise phone call from him nine months later, she dashes off to meet him in
Italy. Too late, she realizes the call had been made by an imposter to lure her
into a trap.
Despite Darryl’s
decision to end his relationship with Olivia, he returns to his missions in
Afghanistan unable to shake her from his heart. Regret for letting her go gnaws
at him until he decides to search for her. After following numerous dead end
leads, he gives up on ever finding the elusive woman who stole his heart nine
months prior. When he’s called in for a mission to rescue a high-level
intelligence officer who’s been kidnapped, he realizes the woman in question is
his Olivia. Pressure mounts as he becomes embroiled in a mission where the fate
of his country and his true love falls on his shoulders.
A deep masculine voice broke
into her reverie. “May I buy you a drink? I saw you at the pool earlier. Not
only are you beautiful, but you look like you’d be fun to talk to.”
She bit back a smile as she
realized why Peter and Colin had disappeared.
Those two are just too much. Olivia
turned to see the drool-worthy man standing so close she could reach out and
touch him. Wavy reddish-brown hair framed a chiseled face. Sexy dimples
accented his full lips. A white scar marred the tanned skin above one of his
thick eyebrows. His yellow-flecked emerald eyes were nothing short of
mesmerizing. He wore a worn Stanford University T-shirt and faded jeans that
hugged muscular thighs and an obviously more-than-adequate package. I can’t believe you just thought that.
Her voice caught in her throat and for a moment she forgot to breathe.
Despite the fact that his
attire contradicted the five star hotel dress code; every item he’d chosen to
wear suited him perfectly. A suit or a tie would have ruined his signature
look, which was breathtakingly masculine.
She realized she’d gawked
too long when he crossed his muscular arms over his chest.
“Oh, yes, of course, have a
seat.” Olivia waved a trembling hand in his direction.
“Thank you.” He extended his
hand toward her, initiating a handshake. “I’m Darryl Jennings.”
Remaining seated so she
wouldn’t look too eager, she fidgeted and reached for his hand. “Olivia
Simpson.” She hoped he didn’t detect the nervous tremor in her voice. His
fingers laced firmly through hers and he seemed in no hurry to let go. Warm
tingles raced up her arm. The sudden attraction astounded her, but then she
brushed it off as inevitable. Any woman
would go wild for him. The man was so hot; he could melt chocolate. Hell,
her hand felt like it was about to melt and drip onto the floor.
Mmm…sounds so good! I can't wait to read this!
