Eric: Keeping the Captain
About this ebook
Captain Eric Collins joined the Marines to outrun a disaster. After nearly walking down the aisle with a manipulative gold-digger, he needed the discipline of the corps to forget how easily he’d been played. Now, he’s back in Florida for two weeks of mandatory rest, hoping for quiet—not a collision with the only woman who ever told him the truth.
Natalie Lyons was his best friend and college roommate until Eric chose the wrong woman over her warning. For three years, she’s built a life in advertising, successfully burying her crush on the handsome, stubborn boy next door. But when a category-five hurricane cancels her flight and strands her at the airport, her only shelter is the man who broke her heart.
Forced into close proximity in a secluded Sanibel beach house as the storm rages outside, the old tension between them turns into an undeniable fire. Eric is no longer the naive boy she knew; he’s a hardened soldier determined to make up for the past. But as the winds howl and the power goes out, they must decide: is this just a temporary refuge from the storm, or a second chance at a love that was always meant to be?

About the author
USA Today Bestselling Author, Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun. She’s worked in engineering, after passing many tests proving how easy Math came to her. Then hating her life at the age of twenty four, she decided to go to law school. Four years later, after passing the bar and practicing very little, she realized that she hates the practice of law. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk. After realizing she needed change, she became a high school teacher. Teaching is rewarding, but writing is a passion.
During all this time, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s dreams, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty.
She’s always been determined. She is amazing, adventurous and assured on a regular basis. Her website is www.victoriapinder.com.
