Hot Intent
by Cindy Dees

Torn between love and duty, family and country, Alex Peters thought he'd escaped his dark and violent past. But to save the woman he loves and their adopted daughter, he must embrace the very darkness that nearly destroyed him. As his feelings for Katie and tiny Dawn make him far too vulnerable and put his family in mortal danger, he faces an impossible choice---stay and risk their lives or leave and keep them safe. As forces of evil close in on him and Katie, can he betray everything he believes in, everything he's worked to become, to protect her?

Nurse, Katie McCloud, just wants to be a mom to Dawn and girlfriend to Dr. Alex Peters. Sent to Cuba with Alex to help care for hurricane victims, old enemies once again threaten them and Katie and Alex are thrust back into the deadly game of international espionage. But this time, they're on opposite sides. She thought she'd made peace with the secrets locked tight behind his brooding facade. But when those secrets threaten all she holds dear, can she find a way to banish his demons and bring him home to her and their daughter?

Cindy Dees' Bio

Hi, I'm Cindy Dees! I first began writing while I was a pilot in the United States Air Force because I bet my Mom a dollar I could write a book. I won the bet in short order and realized I loved to write in the process. I criss-crossed the world for years with my trusty laptop in tow, waiting eagerly for the day when my security clearances expired and I could start sharing my stories with you. And finally, that day has arrived! When I left the Air Force to start a family, it was a natural transition for me to an LWD-6, a Large Wooden Desk with six drawers, and my well-traveled laptop computer, of course. My first book introduces an elite Air Force Special Forces team, known simply as Charlie Squad, to readers. And to answer the inevitable question, yes, I do relate some of my own real life experiences in my books. As for which parts of my books are real, all I'll say on the subject is that I'm happily married to my own real life, Air Force pilot hero. I live on a ranch near Fort Worth, Texas with the man of my dreams, our daughter, three dogs, and an assortment of creeping and crawling critters my daughter brings in to the house.
