Take Cover A Novella in the Echo Platoon Series

Marliss Melton — 2017

Navy SEAL Lt. Mitch Thoreau's vacation to Spain coincides with Catalonia's bid for independence. On the streets of Barcelona, the tension between the separatists and the national police suggests imminent unrest-not the best time for a vacation. Meeting the proprietress of Hotel Leonardo makes it all worthwhile. Katrina Ferrer is beautiful, idealistic, and everything Mitch desires in a woman. She also carries a terrible secret-one that threatens innocent lives and thrusts Mitch into danger. Arousing suspicion on one side and resentment on the other, both Mitch and Katrina must flee Barcelona or face unwanted consequences. As they talk of a future together, vengeance overtakes them in the medieval city of Seville. Will Mitch's training be enough to ensure Katrina's safety, or is happily-ever-after too much to hope for in a world coming apart at the seams?

Mitch Thoreau ad his team are taking a well deserved break in Spain. But wouldn't you know it - their timing sucks! There is high tension with Catalonia trying to become independent from Spain. Hotel Leonardo is small and friendly and run by the beautiful Katrina. She is worried about her brothers involvement with the separatist movement. But when she accepts a date with Mitch, they land in the middle of a catastrophic event. One which Mitch and the team manage to negate some of the possible casualties by their quick action. As they flee Barcelona to safety, Mitch and Katrina realise they are in deeper than a one night stand and as they make it to Seville, they try to plan what type of future they can have. Mitch is the perfect blend of Alpha male, soft heart and caring partner. He likes to be in control but knows his limits. Katrina is wracked by her familial responsibilities and her own moral compass. Loved that the actual HEA had to wait for a while. My only moan is that I wanted more!
