Friends. They're just... friends, right? At least that’s what Navy SEAL Sutton Gray tells himself. But with his neighbor, Marisol, living just feet away, it's a constant battle to bite down on his unneighborly desires. Sutton’s been alone most of his life—it's how he likes it—so he’s reluctant to cave to Marisol’s attempt at making him part of the apartment building “family”, no matter how much she brightens his days. But when she becomes the target of a shady character, not only do his protective instincts kick into overdrive…so does his burning attraction. Why did Sutton have to kiss her? Now it’s all Marisol can think of. That, and his sculpted body and his dark eyes... She knows she's in trouble. And she’s thinking thoughts no real friend should indulge in, but she can't help but be drawn to the gruff, battle-hardened SEAL. It’s clear something about his time in the military is haunting him and she knows kisses alone, no matter how consuming, won’t be enough to heal him. The more time they spend together the closer they get, but time is something that may be running out for them both...

Just Get Up Again

Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1636307116
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
What was the worst day you have ever lived? For me, it was the day I had to tell a family that their dad had been killed while turkey hunting. Or maybe it was the day my doctor spoke the word cancer in my direction. Have you ever felt lost? I was once lost in a foreign city of over twelve million people where I couldn't speak the language. Have you ever been knocked flat on your back? One day, that happened to me repeatedly. Ever been blindsided? Me too--both in a car and in life. But I think they all hit me simultaneously the day a perplexed doctor looked at me and said, "This is the worst case I have ever seen!" I'm not trying to compare trials and scars but to simply testify that God has walked with me and sustained me every step of my journey. And what He does for one, He is willing and able to do for another. This book is full of praise to God for how He brought my wife and me through some extremely hard times, including shoulder impingement, prostate cancer, lean finances, five surgeries within two years' time, and much more. Chock-full of testimony, song, poetry, scripture, and helpful anecdotes that will stir your faith, encourage your heart, and perhaps even bring a smile or a tear. Stand with me outside a hospital room door, not knowing what to say or do. Discover how God blessed me with a single can of SpaghettiOs. The Bible says, "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord" (Psalm 37:23). I'm not saying that I'm good, but God sure is. Here is one man's nearly two-year struggle in three parts: his personal tsunami, holding on to God like a man holds to a life jacket on a boat in a storm, and finally emerging from the deep with his head above water. His story--chocked full of scripture, testimony, song, poetry, and anecdotes--is sure to bring laughter, perhaps a tear, some nostalgia, and most of all, lots of praise to God.
