She's no stranger to dangerous situations, but she'll never make it out of this one alive without the help of her Navy SEAL. Bo "Safe" Cyders was born to protect. He loves his job as a Navy SEAL and takes his oath to protect his country and the men on his team seriously. So when a woman literally stumbles into his arms at Aces Bar and Grill, begging for help, he doesn't hesitate to act. Wren Defranco's online date went south quickly, and when she wakes up in a strange bed, in a room she doesn't recognize, she's certain she'll end up a statistic on some random crime show. Instead, she's somehow found not only one of the world's rare good guys, but someone she can rely on...and easily fall for. When her job sends her to South Sudan, a country ravaged by civil unrest, Wren learns exactly how lucky she was to run into Bo that fateful night at Aces. She'll need every bit of survival intel he and his SEAL friends ingrained in her before the trip-and the hope of a rescue mission-if she stands any chance of lasting long enough to experience what it truly means to have real trust, a devoted family...and genuine love. **Protecting Wren is the 2nd book in the SEAL of Protection: Alliance Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
