To prove her love and save her man, she has to go above and beyond the call of duty.
Infatuation: A Little Military Harmless Romance
Francis McKade is a man in lust. He’s had a crush on his best friend’s little sister for years but he has never acted on it. Besides that fact that she’s Malachi’s sister, he’s a Seal and he learned his lesson with his ex-fiancé. Women do not like being left alone for long months at a time. Still, at a wedding in Hawaii anything can happen—and does. Unfortunately, after the best night of his life, he and Mal are called away to one of their most dangerous missions.
Shannon is blown over by Kade. She’s always had a crush on him and after their night together, it starts to feel a little like love. But, after the mission, Kade never calls or writes and she starts to wonder if it was all a dream. Until one night, her brother Mal drags him into her bar and grill and Shannon gets the shock of her life.
Kade isn’t the man Shannon knew in Hawaii, or even the last few years. Twelve hours of torture changes a man, especially one who had never felt so vulnerable. He still can’t shake the terror that keeps him up at night. Worse, he is realizing that the career he loves just might be over.
Shannon is still mad, but she can’t help but hurt for the man she loves. He is darker, a bit more dangerous, but beneath that, he is the Kade she's known for so many years. When he pushes her to her limits in the bedroom, Shannon refuses to back down. One way or another, this military man is going to learn there is no walking away from love—not while she still has breath in her body.
Warning: This book contains two infatuated lovers, some drunken dancing, a hard-headed military man, a determined woman, some old friends, and a little taste of New Orleans. As always, ice water is suggested while reading. It might be the first military Harmless book, but the only thing that has changed is how hot our hero looks in his uniform—not to mention out of it.

Review ~
A Navy Seal is a true take charge and go-get-‘em type of man, right? For Francis McKade (Kade) this seems to be one trait he lacks when it comes to his best-friend’s little sister, Shannon Dupree. Both have had a secret crush on one another for many years. The tricky thing about crushes, though, is whether they are as compatible between the sheets. Finally, while attending a wedding in Hawaii, they act on their desires and have an amazing night together. Based on their first experience there would have been many more amazing nights to come, although their time was cut short when Kade gets the call to go on a mission with her brother Malachi and the remaining members of the team. Shannon knows he can be gone for many months, but after not hearing from him for such a long period of time she starts to wonder if the feelings were one-sided…was she the only one who felt the intense connection?
Finally, their mission is over and much needed leave is taken. The group of three Seals (Malachi, Kade and Deke) show up at Shannon’s bar in New Orleans. Her heart sings for joy on seeing her brother and it starts fluttering at the sight of Kade, but Kade is just a shell of the man he once was—the sexy Dom with a tender side that she spent a memorable evening with in Hawaii. Shannon is now on her own mission to be there for Kade; to help him along the journey of healing from the horrendous memories that haunt him from his last mission that went awry. Shannon’s attempts to help fall on Kade’s deaf ears and she washes her hands of him once and for all. Weeks go by and Kade is still a pelt short of a full Seal. Knowing he has to be at 100% before he returns to his dangerous missions, he sets out to grasp what will once again make him a whole man.
For my fellow Harmless Addicts—this is a must read! If you’re not one of us as of yet, please stop everything you are doing and start this series—I guarantee you will become a lifelong member shortly thereafter! I loved Shannon and Kade’s story—filled with lust and desire, love and the pain it bears; denial, fear, enlightenment and trust in one’s true feelings. What are you waiting for? Shannon and Kade want to share their story—they insist you grab your Kahlua Latte and beignet, and as those in N’awlins would say…pass a good time!
