About this story, author Cat Rambo says, "This is the second time I've written about Serendib (the first story featured the antagonist from this one), but the world's been floating around in my head for a couple of decades now, originally as a game setting, and I can tell more stories and a possible novel are lurking within it as well. I chose a middle-aged married couple as my protagonists because I don't see much heroic fantasy with characters like that, and it seems like a definite lack to me."

Nel classificare la sua sfortuna, era difficile stabilire quale fosse la più tremenda. L'infortunio che avrebbe potuto porre fine alla sua carriera nei SEAL. La tempesta del secolo che lo aveva bloccato all'aeroporto di Atlanta. L'uomo nudo che aveva trovato addosso alla sua ragazza. Una cosa era certa. Peggio di così non poteva andare...

I guess this is what I should expect for owing my Navy SEAL buddy Zane a favor.

The man’s messing with my head - I mean, my herd. If I weren’t a single mom with dreams of something better, Mr. Heartthrob would be out of here.

I thought I was interviewing to be an escort . . . The position I accidentally ended up getting might be even more dangerous. Me, Chelsea Bridges, working for a private military contractor.

Now my only concern is when I'll see him again, because one night with hot spy Tristan Fairchild was definitely ...
