Spotlight & Giveaway: A Seal’s Honor by Jen Talty

Today, HJ is pleased to share with you Jen Talty’s new release: A Seal’s Honor

Hello everyone!

 
A SEAL’s Honor is part of Kristen Proby’s With Me in Seattle Universe.

Navy SEAL Dante Fallon spent the last year of his enlistment haunted by his best friend’s murder. He swore that once his time in the service was up, he’d get his revenge. However, he didn’t anticipate finding the only woman he’s ever had real feelings for working for the enemy.

When Kaia George buried her brother, she swore she’d seek revenge for his death. For the last twelve months, she’s developed a relationship with the crime family that killed him. The last thing she needs is Dante walking back into her life, trying to fix things. No way will she take his help—until bullets fly, and she’s left with two choices:

Work with Dante to take down the crime family.
Or meet her brother on the other side.

Enjoy an exclusive excerpt from A Seal’s Honor 

“Be safe.”

“Will do.” Dante tapped the screen. He stood and stuffed his cell into his back pocket. He glanced around, making sure no one was looking and then snagged the key hidden in the light over the door. Beck always kept a spare there, and it seemed that Kaia hadn’t moved it. As quietly as he could, he inserted the key and twisted, hoping there was no security system.

There hadn’t been one the last time he’d visited, but he’d always been on Kaia to install one when she’d been living in the condo by herself, and she often agreed it would be a good idea.

He stepped inside, tapping on the flashlight icon on his phone.

His breath hitched. Not much had changed.

Kaia had kept all of her brother’s furniture and all the same wall hangings. She had switched up the photos on the entertainment center on the far wall across from the sofa. He picked up an image of him, Beck, and Kaia, taken the day Beck had died.

She’d framed it.

And kept it.

He wasn’t sure what that meant, but it made his heart beat a little faster.

He stepped into the kitchen. It smelled like homemade cinnamon bread—Kaia’s specialty. His mouth watered when he noticed some in the basket in the center of the table. He couldn’t resist. As he placed a small piece on his tongue, his tastebuds went insane. He continued down the hall and into the first bedroom, which used to be Beck’s.

She’d emptied his things from it, but it was obvious that she didn’t use it for anything other than storage, so he moved on to the second room, which she’d set up as an office.

He stood behind the desk and pulled open the top drawer. “Didn’t read them, my ass,” he mumbled as he pulled out all his opened letters. He found the one he’d sent when he made the decision not to reenlist. And, sure enough, she’d at least torn through the envelope.

If she’d read it, she knew exactly how he felt about her, that it wasn’t simple attraction or heavy like.

And yet, she’d done nothing in response.

That spoke volumes.

The sound of a floorboard squeaking behind him caught his attention. He spun on his heel and stared down the wrong end of a Glock.

“Jesus, Kaia. Put that fucking thing down.” He wiggled his fingers. Nothing worse than having the woman who meant more to you than life itself shove a loaded pistol in your face.

She steadied her arm, narrowing her gaze. “Get the hell out of my house, or I will shoot.”

“I don’t think you will.” Only, the Kaia he knew, when she committed to a decision, was all in, and nothing could stop her.

She lowered her aim to his knee.

He held his breath, waiting for precisely the right moment to disarm her. He’d spent a fair amount of time at the gun range with Kaia, and she knew her way around a weapon.

However, since he’d been the one to give her pointers, he also knew how she handled one, allowing him the opportunity to get the upper hand.

He hoped.

“You broke into my home. It’s self-defense. No one, not even your friend, would call it anything—”

He reached out and jerked the weapon from her hand.

“What the hell?” She blinked, shaking out her arms. “Fucking jerk.”

He released the clip, slipping it into his front pocket before tucking the Glock into his belt. “What the hell are you doing with that thing?”

“Protecting myself from assholes like you.” She turned on her heel and stomped down the hallway, her sexy hips swaying back and forth, just begging for him to take her into his arms…fuck, he had to stop thinking about her that way. “I still want you out of my house. Now. If you can’t do that, I will call the cops.”

“I’ll leave after we’ve had a chance to talk about a few things.”

“I’ve got nothing to say to you.” She paused in front of the small makeshift bar to the right of the kitchen table and poured herself three fingers of whiskey, not offering him a hit.

He helped himself.

She growled at him as if she were about to turn into a wolf and bite his head off.

“I’m really not going to leave, so either you answer a few questions, and we have a nice little conversation…” He took his drink into the family room area and plopped down on the sofa. “Or you deal with me stalking you until you do.”

She leaned against the doorjamb and stared at him with her big, chocolate eyes. A single tear rolled down her cheek. “I don’t know what you want me to say. My brother is dead. You can’t bring him back.”

“No. But I’m here to make sure someone pays for his murder.”

“The only thing that is going to happen is that someone is going to kill you, and I’m not going to stop them.”
