He's used to the danger zone. Navy SEAL Wes Marshall is used to nearly dying on a daily basis. But there are worse things than living life in the danger zone. Namely, the friend-zone hell where he currently resides. It was his own damn fault. Considering the woman of his dreams was going through her own personal hell of her father's murder trial, Wes thought she needed a friend more than a boyfriend. However, as the trial languished on, so did Wes's opportunity to ask her out. But now the trial is over and more questions are unanswered than before-questions that might get them both killed before they can go on their first date. Not the friend zone. Kyla Wells isn't going to let the man who murdered her father go free. As an IT specialist capable of hacking into the CIA itself if need be, she's hell-bent on finding out what the San Diego DA's office couldn't-or wouldn't-why her father was murdered. Her best friend, drool-worthy Wes, isn't going to approve of her investigating. Especially when the data she finds leads her into way more danger than a murder?dropping her into the middle of an international arms deal with the terrorists Wes's SEAL Team has been trying to capture for months. She's worked too hard on finding her father's killer to die now. Besides, she's going to tell Wes how she feels about him-right after they save the world.
