In the Line of Fire...Former SEAL Malachai “Mac” MacCarrick is all about the future he’s created with his Navy brothers in Eagle Securities, taking assignments in the most dangerous places, and doing things no one but ex-military would attempt.

To protect her, he’ll risk it all—including his life…

15 years ago, a tragedy torned Mac and Delaney apart. She needs to forget about him and move on and he keeps hoping for her to give him another while knowing he's to blame. But when Delaney is danger, Mac is the first person she calls.
This is the kind of book that makes you want to hug the characters and tell them everything will be alright. I understood where each caracther was coming from with their pain and doubts and I couldn't blame them or get impatient. They have gone through so much they needed to move at their own time and the pace was perfect for the story.
Mac is such an amazing guy. Strong and determined. Super sexy and caring. He would do anything for Delaney. Even when she doesn't want help, he puts her over everything else, including his work. But he never treats her as a damsel in distress he makes sure she has ways of protecting herself.
Delaney is my kind of heroine. She needs no one, she knows what she wants and is not afraid to go after it and honestly? her job as a reporter is something i always looked up to so she gets bonus points for that. Delaney is also the biggest issue in her and Mac relationship, because she's not ready to let the past go and won't let herself to see where they could go.
Final Siege is a great combination of second chance love, drama and action. Delaney's life is in danger but so is her heart and in the middle of finding out who wants her dead, she and Mac need to figure out what is left of their relationship and if they can continue.
The chemestry between Mac and Delaney is still there, palpable but their heads aren't. Reading their story was a great experience and I can't wait to see more about the men at Eagle Securities.

Half asleep,
unwilling to fully waken and face the day, Delaney snuggled deep into the
covers and allowed the dreams that danced on the edge of her consciousness to
enter. In it, she was naked, in a large white bed, with a man behind her. A
hand spanned her stomach, pulling her back against a firm, warm chest.
Spooning. Her favorite thing.
Lazily, the hand
moved upward until it cupped her breast, and Delaney secretly urged it to
squeeze gently, but it didn’t. Whoever the hand belonged to was definitely aroused.
She could feel the heavy erection pressing against her back. Teasingly, she
wiggled her butt against him in the hope he’d get the message, but nothing. No
response.
Sun shone in
through large open windows with white billowing curtains as she reveled in
feelings of being turned on.
She turned in the
man’s arms, grateful when he pulled her closer to him. His chest was wide, with
a light smattering of hair, and she pressed her forehead to it as she slid her
hand between them to the waistband of his shorts.
A hand gripped her
wrist. “Don’t,” a voice said gruffly. Hard to get? That was a new one. She
moved closely and pressed a series of soft kisses to his chest. But she could
be that girl. The one who was confident enough to initiate. She licked his nipple
and heard him gasp.
“Delaney, please.
Fuck. Wake up!”
Suddenly the bed
shook. Covers were dragged off her body, and her skin was cold. Then the
realization hit her.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
It wasn’t a dream.
Delaney forced one
eye open and confirmed her worst nightmare. Mac stood naked, apart from a pair
of basketball shorts and a huge erection. And if the tenting was to be
believed, his chest and bicep dimensions weren’t the only muscles that had
grown. His hair was ruffled, standing up every which way as it always used to,
and his eyes told her that she’d woken him up. By attempting to grab his dick.
Dear God. She was
going to die.

About Scarlett Cole
The
tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by
the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a.
New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we
should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be
bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car
maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running
strategy. Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up
in Canada were I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him.
Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological
signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I
either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve
wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards
or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions
everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.
