Luckily his job as a Navy SEAL meant he didn't have to do it very often. He'd been unlucky enough to be assigned a middle seat on the cramped jet, but fortunately for him, the woman next to him was willing to switch seats with him. Hoping for a relaxing flight, Wolf was pleasantly surprised at the good conversation and sense of humor the woman had as they flew 36,000 feet over the countryside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Caroline boarded the plane to Virginia to move across the country for her new job she never expected to be seated next to the hottest guy she'd ever seen. She also never expected he'd be so easy to talk to. She knew he'd never be interested in talking to her if he hadn't been trapped in the seat next to her, but it was a nice way to spend a long plane ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeither Wolf nor Caroline were prepared for a terrorist hijacking of their plane, but if Caroline thought that would be the last time she'd see, or need, Wolf, she'd be sorely mistaken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Readers Love This Book\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis romantic suspense novel delivers everything fans of military romance crave: a protective alpha male hero, intense action sequences, and genuine chemistry between characters.

She is quite the romantic and even met the love of her life on \"Hotmail classified\" before online dating and sites like match.com even existed! Susan has been reading romance novels since middle school and once crossed out the names of the main characters in a book and changed them to them to her own and to the name of her crush. She's been writing scenes for years, developing her unique writing style. Susan loves writing but her true passion is adopting dogs from rescue groups and shelters. Susan and her husband have had a total of nine \"rescued\" dogs since 2000 including a variety of basset hounds and bloodhounds. She has recently branched out and adopted a basset\/terrier mix who acts more like a terrier than a basset (i.e. digging, eating a couch and being hyper).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stoker Aces Production","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50680810373394,"sku":"9780990738800","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_3a5bbac4-ce6f-4a5f-b7ef-138a0ef119a3.jpg?v=1733942750","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/protecting-caroline-9780990738800","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
