A SEAL at Heart (West Coast Navy SEALs)
Navy SEAL John Roaker, known to his buddies as Red Jack, survives a mission that  turns into a massacre. The body count includes his best friend, Don. Wounded in soul and spirit as well as body, Jack is sent to recuperate stateside. Filled with survivor’s guilt and suffering from PTSD, Jack is one step away from being another suicide statistic. The first time Laurie Smith sees Jack, she’s instantly attracted and comes close to having a one-night stand with him. But Laurie is a therapist who specializes in nontraditional treatments, and as the daughter of a SEAL herself, she recognizes Jack’s symptoms. In fact, from her father’s drinking and desertion, Laurie has some problems of her own. Two wounded souls find healing through love in Elizabeth’s romance. Readers will find this book an accurate reflection of what’s happening in the world today and perhaps be uplifted by its message of hope. --Shelley Mosley
