by Penelope Marshall


  Cole, a Navy SEAL, has returned home after losing his best friend Ezra right before his eyes. To make matters worse, Cole's roommates are his girlfriend, Catherine, and Ezra's fiancée, Adeline.

  Adeline Chevallier blames Cole for her fiancé's death, and so does Catherine…

  Adeline is devastated when she learns of Ezra's death, and holds Cole responsible, which makes them so uncomfortable they can hardly look at each other. At first, Catherine appears to be the only thing keeping the house from falling apart, but without warning, her behavior changes, forcing Cole to kick her out. Finally alone, Adeline and Cole form an unexpected bond.

  Cole and Adeline are so caught up in these new emotions that they forget about Catherine—and her secrets…

  Catherine is keeping big secrets which could destroy everything Cole and Adeline have built. When she finally reveals what she's been hiding, her dangerous inner demons take over. When Cole returns to war, Adeline feels betrayed by everyone she holds dear, and does her best to move on.

  Cole is miserable during his deployment. When he comes home from duty, he is determined to be with Adeline, but doesn't even know how to find her.

  Cole is trained to save people, but can't seem to save the people he treasures most. With his life in turmoil, he's running out of time to turn things around…

  And Adeline might just be his last chance at Absolution.

  UNLEASHED

  Elijah Black, a hardcore Navy SEAL, eats, sleeps, and lives for his missions—and little else…The self-proclaimed playboy has no time for relationships, unless it's between the sheets. So he's more than happy to leave for his newest mission, a quick extraction of a terrorist believed to be responsible for a series of bombings in Europe. But the mission doesn't go as planned, and the terrorists take Elijah prisoner.

  Nasima was only supposed to care for his body, not his heart…

  As the nurse charged with keeping the prisoner alive, Nasima is alone with Elijah every day. Sparks fly between them, but Elijah makes it clear he cares little for Nasima's traditions and only wants her for her body. Still, she grows to care for the broken soldier, and it isn't long before she begins to dream of abandoning her strict upbringing for Elijah's tempting embrace.

  A passionate encounter leads to more than just feelings…

  After Elijah's failed escape and another beating, Nasima is found comforting him and suffers the consequences. Just as Elijah realizes he will do whatever is necessary to save her, but before they can get to safety, Nasima reveals a secret that may be Elijah's undoing.

  Will Nasima's secret keep her from breaking through Elijah's tough exterior in time for another escape, or will he decide to make the journey alone?
