Protecting Ariana by Lynne St. James

Can He Be The Hero She Needs?

Navy SEAL John “Riot” Dillon finally has his life back on track after being wounded on a mission and losing most of his team. It’s taken all his focus to get there, and he doesn’t have time to fall for his neighbor, Ariana. Too bad his heart has other ideas.
Ariana Nelson likes to think she can handle anything, at least until she caught her now ex-boyfriend selling company secrets to China.

But she put him out of her mind until the threats started. The FBI said they’d take care of it, but then one evening she’s confronted by a knife-wielding man while walking her dog. Her neighbor John, the man she’s been drooling over for months, hears her screams and comes to her rescue.

When John finds out what’s going on, he swears he’ll keep Ariana safe. But even with help from Wolf and Tex, he’ll have his hands full trying to keep the stubborn spitfire from getting herself hurt or worse. Attraction is one thing, but will Ariana give love and trust another chance before time runs out?
