Pediatrician Dara McKinley loves her job. So how could she say no when her sister asks her to come to Kabul for a few weeks to offer medical assistance at a local orphanage? Terrified of the dangers surrounding her, Dara finds unexpected solace in the protective arms of Sergeant Matt Culver. Transfixed by the warrior with the exotic gold eyes, can Dara overcome her fears?

Matt, a Delta Force operator, has always listened to his instincts, and they have yet to steer him wrong. So when he sees the alluring blond belly dancer at Bagram’s annual holiday show, he knows without a doubt that she’s “the one.” Now he just has to convince her to take a chance on him…and love. If they survive…

Her brows arched and she studied him in the warming silence. At Christmas? Tell me youll see me often when you get home on leave for the holiday.
       “See you? Matt snorted, his mouth curving. Sweetheart, unless you say otherwise, Im with you every night in bed. Matt became serious, searching her still-dazed, fulfilled eyes. I want those thirty days with you. Is that what you want, too?
       She cupped his cheek with her slender hand. Are you serious, Matt?
       “As serious as I can be. Why?
       “Because of course I want the same thing. Dara leaned up, kissing him for a long, long time, languishing in his arms, absorbing his powerful body.
       Matt couldnt believe his ears. But her kiss . . . God . . . her kiss was all fire and honey and it melted his heart, burned his soul. They parted, breathing hard, staring at one another. Dara looked so clean, so untouched by his world, yet he knew that the last few days, shed had a large taste of itmore than shed ever wanted. I wasnt sure, he admitted slowly.
       “What? Of us?
       “Yeah, us. Matt moved his mouth against the smooth slope of her cheek, inhaling her, feeling the warmth of her skin against his lips. The last few days have been rough on you, Dara. I wasnt sure youd ever want to see me again.
       She shook her head, her lips lifting as she turned just enough to allow her mouth to rest lightly against his. And miss this? Miss you? Oh, no, nothing is going to stop me from getting to know you much, much better, Aslan.
       His heart swelled as his middle name rolled sweetly off her lips. He smiled a little, holding her glistening gaze. You can call me that any time you want.
       Threading her fingers through his long, tangled hair, she whispered, I love that your mother named you Lion. She must have intuitively felt or known you were going to be a true warrior. Her voice lowered. You were a lion out there for us. I dont ever want to go through something like that again, but Im glad it happened.
       He frowned. Why?
       Dara stroked his temples, moving some of his hair behind his ear. Because I got to see the lion in you. Youre a leader, Matt. A real one. Not just something you put on your résumé. You kept me safe out there. I saw you put yourself in the line of fire for me, urging me on, always there for me. You wouldnt abandon me.
       Because I love you. How the words wanted to be torn out of his mouth, but Matt held on to them. I had your back, he agreed quietly, running his fingers through her hair, feeling its strength, appreciating how long it was, how feminine it made Dara look. And Id have died for you out there, if it had become necessary.
       He saw her eyes darken, saw sudden pain in them. Damn, he hadnt meant to dredge up that experience again. Dara magically drew him out, drew out his real feelings. But we werent even close to dying, he added, cupping her cheek, kissing her, wanting to distract her from the frightening experience they had shared.
