About this ebook

 Losing a brother in arms is only the beginning.

When one of their own is tragically killed in an ambush, the Navy investigates Scott Devonshire and his elite team of SEALs. In order to prove their innocence, he’ll have to track down their fallen comrade’s widow to get the truth, but there’s just one problem—she’s nowhere to be found. 

Meanwhile, brilliant hacker Hayley Stevens is digging up dirt on the unit in hopes of snagging a promotion, but she has her doubts about the SEAL team’s guilt. When she reluctantly teams up with Scott to prove he and his comrades had nothing to do with their friend’s death, she doesn’t expect romance. But the sparks that fly between them have Scott contemplating setting aside his womanizing ways. Until she is captured by an unknown adversary, that is.

Now he has to make a decision: Hayley, or his team? Whichever side he chooses, he’s going to become embroiled in a conflict that could potentially take down everyone he cares about—one that goes all the way to the top.

Ratings and reviews

The search for answers brings them together. The death of a friend leaves more questions than answers. It leaves Scott and his team under a cloud of suspicion. The guilt and grief weigh heavy on his shoulders. When Hayley stumbles across vital info in clearing Scott and his comrades in any wrongdoing, she finds herself entangled in world of dangerous secrets. Hayley is smart, tenacious and knows her way around a hard drive. Scott is a Seal through and through. Together this rogue duo confront conspiracies and and attraction that is spiraling out of control. Hacking the Seal is full of moments that had me catching my breath and needing to cool down.

This is the second book in this series ... but this one also does quite well as a stand-alone. SEALs Team 10 has lost one of their members ... he was shot and killed be a sniper. The Navy is investigating the remainder of the team. The SEALs aren't going to take this laying down. They hustle to find the widow of the killed SEAL ... supposedly she has secret documents ... but she has disappeared. Hayley Stevens is an FBI Agent, working in the cyber crimes unit. She, too, is investigating the SEAL 10 Team and they want those documents that have disappeared with the widow. Enter Scotty Devonshire, a member of the elite team. When Scotty and Hayley meet, there is instant attraction. Hayley soon decides that the team was not responsible for the death and turns rogue to help prove their innocence. But someone in the FBI wants the team found guilty. How far up the chain does the corruption go? The story is well-written, if not a little predictable .. which most romantic suspense stories are. The author has a very good balance of suspense and romance. The characters were charming. Hayley is a lot independent and Scotty is not as tough as SEALs are usually portrayed, but they are both so likeable. If your favorite genre is Romantic Suspense and you haven't tried this author .. I would recommend giving her a shot. Many thanks to the author and NetGalley who provided a digital copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Leslie North is the pen name for a critically-acclaimed author of women's contemporary romance and fiction. The anonymity gives her the perfect opportunity to paint with her full artistic palette, especially in the romance and erotic fantasy genres. 

The truth of the matter is she loves her fictional persona, Leslie North, more than her normal, day-to-day persona! Her bestselling books focus on strong characters and particularly women who aren't afraid to challenge an alpha male. Inspired after years of travel, her stories are set all over the world, from the tough streets of Russia to the beautiful beaches of the middle east. 

Leslie fell in love with romance when she first picked up a scrappy, dog-eared romance book from her local library. She began writing soon after and the rest, as they say, was history. She now lives in a cozy cottage on the British coast and enjoys taking long walks with her two Dalmatians, George and Fergie.
