Diver Downeast Series by LJ Vickery, Operation Alpha

Spencer Sothard has a lot on his mind. Should he re-up with the Merchant Marine, or should he move on to see if another occupation will point him in a direction that will challenge him, while also satisfying his need for adventure? He’s on the fence until a freak accident and a subsequent rescue give focus to his life. Who knew it would take an act of nature for him to get his ducks in order. An additional bonus? The woman responsible for his epiphany steals his heart with her very first smile... moreSpencer Sothard has a lot on his mind.

He’s on the fence until a freak accident and a subsequent rescue give focus to his life. Who knew it would take an act of nature for him to get his ducks in order. An additional bonus? The woman responsible for his epiphany steals his heart with her very first smile.Tabitha Miers isn’t thrilled she’s been sent to Maine on a job, but that’s the nature of working freelance with your own submarine. One travels where one has to. Tabbi misses her sister in Florida, but a compelling new acquaintance—an accomplished diver—not only has her changing her mind about being in the north, it has her wondering if her short stay might become permanent.When Spencer and Tabitha are thrown together in not one, but two dire situations, will the unknown drive them apart, or be the glue that binds them together? less

Trask Sothard never thought he’d separate from the Marines. He figured he’d die with his boots on, metaphorically speaking. But that wasn’t going to happen now, because certain…things had driven him out of the service. Currently, he’s fumbling to find his place in civilian life; a reality that is kicking his butt. In the end, he’ll either ace working for Diver Downeast with his brothers, or his well-ordered life will get derailed by the damndest woman he’s ever met... moreTrask Sothard never thought he’d separate from the Marines.

In the end, he’ll either ace working for Diver Downeast with his brothers, or his well-ordered life will get derailed by the damndest woman he’s ever met. The second alternative, unfortunately, is a more likely scenario, since one Jett Deluca stretches his control thin, making it impossible for him to think straight. Survival is currently at the top of his agenda, but the confounding female might just be the death of him.Jett DeLuca is a mess. But she’s also…not. A well-oiled machine when she’s running an op, she’s a bit of a loose cannon in every other aspect of her life. Okay. More than a bit. But it’s never bothered her much, until now; until Trask Sothard. Since meeting him, she’s really wishes she could be the kind of woman he admires. While at the same time, she gleefully relishes being the proverbial thorn in the tightly-buttoned-up man’s side. Will he continue to allow either…or both? Only time will tell.But the clock is ticking. less
