Foreign Threat

Laurel Glen Series Book Two

Foreign Threat A woman determined that no man will orchestrate her life. A man haunted by his past and not ready for love. A powerful international tale of passion, danger, and second chances. Carolyn Stone knows fear, but she’s vowed never to be powerless again. She must succeed in the counter-terrorist school to be eligible for her State Department deployment to a foreign posting. Everything is riding on this, and her counter-terrorist school instructor, Ben Jackson, is standing in her way. Carolyn is agitated by his high-handed, drill sergeant disposition but is also drawn to his intense, dark, good looks. Ben feels the spark between them, but he’s haunted by an incident in Afghanistan that makes any relationship problematic. He doesn’t deserve a smart, sexy woman, especially one whose expressive eyes intrigue him—one moment sparkling with interest, the next filled with sorrow and trepidation. Carolyn and Ben meet again in Jordan where the passion that has been smoldering leaps into flame. Carolyn unwittingly becomes entangled in a terrorist plot that endangers America’s national security and could destroy the tenuous calm in the Middle East. It falls to Ben to protect the only woman he could love.
