About the
Book
Title: The SEAL’s
Angel
Author: Petie
McCarty
Genre:
Contemporary Romance / Military
Navy SEAL Sean MacKay's teammate is murdered after stealing
a deadly nerve-gas formula from Syrian terrorists. Naval Intelligence believes
MacKay's teammate was a traitor and shipped the stolen formula to his sister in
the states for safekeeping. MacKay is given orders to find the sister before
the terrorists do and to retrieve the stolen formula at all costs.
Foreclosure looms for Cory Rigatero as she fights to keep
her rustic resort near Mt. St. Helens afloat after her brother deserted her to
join the SEAL Teams. Cory's whole world dives into a tailspin when Sean MacKay
shows up at her resort with the news of her brother's death and the wild
suspicion her brother may have sent her traitorous classified documents. No way
will Cory trust MacKay -- the man who once seduced her and then vanished into
the night without a trace.
Author Bio

a large part of her career working as a biologist at Walt Disney World --

land of fairy tales by day and creating her own romantic fairy tales by night.

stories full-time.
Petie is a
member of Romance Writers of America, and she shares homes in Tennessee and
Florida with her horticulturist husband, a spoiled-rotten English Springer
spaniel addicted to pimento-stuffed green olives, and a noisy Nanday conure

Excerpt
Excerpt
Cory hesitated so long, Mac wondered if she'd tell the truth
or fabricate some tale. He knew the Bel Tesoro legend like the back of his
hand, having heard the tale numerous times over the years of his friendship
with Blue. Usually when Blue got good and drunk -- and homesick for his little
sister.
Blue thought the sun rose and set just for Cory and had
always said the worst part of the Black Ops work they did wasn't the danger,
but leaving her behind. He'd felt forced to cast her out of his life for her
own safety, settling for a half-dozen covert trips back to town to check on
her. Mac had always come along -- and regretted it afterward, for he could
never get the little spitfire out of his mind.
She stared at him briefly as she slowed for an approaching
curve. His heart hammered out a couple beats. Had she recognized him? She
returned her gaze to the road, and he blew out a silent sigh of relief.
He decided to prod. "So what about the beautiful
treasure. If it wasn't the lake..."
He watched her shoulders go back, and she took a deep
breath.
Here
we go.
"Brock expanded to ten cabins with the extra business,
but Benny and Salvatore didn't come back for a while due to run-ins with the
law back in New York."
"What sort of run-ins?" he dutifully asked.
Cory smiled then, and Mac felt a wave a relief knowing she
trusted him with the truth. He could've dug up the legend from anyone in town,
but it meant more coming from her.
"By that time, Salvatore had changed his name to
Charles Luciano -- Charles "Lucky" Luciano -- and Benjamin went by
the nickname of Bugsy. Meyer was always Meyer."
He hoped the appropriate amount of shock showed in his
expression. "You can't be serious. You mean Bugsy Siegel, Lucky Luciano,
and Meyer Lansky?"
"Exactly the same."
He gave a low whistle.
"Guests wanted to rent Lucky Luciano's cabin even back
then."
"But that doesn't explain the treasure."
She slid him a sultry sideways glance and maneuvered more
switchbacks. "Patience, Mac. I'm telling this story."
He put his head back and hooted with laughter. The smart
remark was all Cory. The sexy glance was not.
"So tell it already."
"Lucky and Bugsy had become too powerful for their mob
boss Joe Masseria, and they set up his assassination, so they could steal his
rackets. Lucky stole everything in Masseria's safe and hid the stash from their
rival boss Maranzano. Legend has it that Lucky put the stash in a trunk and
brought it here on vacation shortly after the assassination to keep it
safe."
"And people think the trunk is buried at Bel
Tesoro?" Mac scoffed.
Review:
Oh, I do love a man in uniform, even
if it’s on paper. Mac turns up to
protect his best friend’s sister, or does he.
Problems start as soon as he arrives, and things just get worse and
worse. Is he the good guy she thinks or
is he there to destroy her life?
Not telling the answers because it
would spoil the magic, and this book is magic.
I give this book 5 out of 5 clouds.
Thank you very much for hosting me on the tour and taking time to review my book!
