## Official Blurb

> Sadie Jennings was used to being protected. As the niece of Sean Taggart, and the receptionist at McKay-Taggart Group, she was constantly surrounded by Alpha men more than capable, and willing, to lay down their life for her. But when she visits her friend in San Antonio, and acts on suspicious activity at Milena’s workplace, Sadie puts both of them in the crosshairs of a madman. After several harrowing weeks, her friend is now safe, but for Sadie, the repercussions of her rash act linger on.

> Chase Jackson, no stranger to dangerous situations as a captain in the US Army, has volunteered himself as Sadie's bodyguard. He fell head over heels for the beautiful woman the first time he laid eyes on her. With a Delta Force team at his back, he reassures the Taggart's that Sadie will be safe. But when the situation in San Antonio catches up with her, Chase has to use everything he's learned over his career to keep his promise...and to keep Sadie alive long enough to officially make her his.

## Acknowledgements from the Author

> When I got the call last year asking if I wanted to "play" in Lexi Blake's sandbox, I immediately said, "Yes!" But then reality set in...I knew how popular Lexi's Masters and Mercenaries series was - in part because I was reading it before I started writing my own stories. I asked Lexi if she had a female character I could "have" and of course she said yes. And thus Sadie's story was born.

> I've loved everything about the process of writing this novella and the following story is typical of what I write...strong heroines who seem to get into the worst situations...but luckily they have attracted the attention, and love, of an amazing, Alpha, possessive Hero who will do whatever it takes to make sure she's safe.

> I hope you enjoy Sadie's story...and getting to know (or see again) some of the characters from my Delta Force Heroes series. Read on!

## An Introduction to the Lexi Blake Crossover Collection

> Who doesn't love a crossover? I know that for me there's always been something magical about two fictional words [sic] blending and meeting in a totally unexpected way. For years the only medium that has truly done it well and often is comic books. Superman vs. Batman in a fight to the finish. Marvel's Infinite Universe. There's something about two crazy worlds coming together that almost makes them feel more real. Like there's this brilliant universe filled with fictional characters and they can meet and talk, and sometimes they can fall in love.

> I'm a geek. I go a little crazy when Thor meets up with Iron Man or The Flash and Arrow team up.

> So why wouldn't we do it in Romanceland?

> There are ways out there. A writer can write in another author's world, giving you her take on it. There's some brilliant fanfiction [sic] out there, but I wanted something different. I wanted to take my time and gradually introduce these characters from other worlds, bring you in slowly so you don't even realize what I'm doing. So you think this is McKay-Taggart, nothing odd here. Except there is...

>

> Over the course of my last three books - Love Another Day, At Your Service, and Nobody Does It Better - I introduced you to five new characters and five new and brilliant worlds. If I've done my job, you'll know and love these characters - sisters from another mister, brothers from another mother.
