SEALing the Deal by Kelsey Brook

Derek is a former Navy SEAL. He recently became guardian to his niece, Nellie, who is the only witness against the men who murdered her parents. Derek has gone to extreme lengths to protect his niece, while at the same time trying to find a way to make her life normal and happy again. When Derek meets Nellie’s new teacher, he quickly becomes absorbed by her; although, Meredith’s first impression of Derek is that he is a very attractive, obnoxiously rude, jerk. Can Derek convince Meredith he’s the man for her? Can he protect the people he loves when a group of hit-men come for them?
