-a Night Stalkers and the Navy romance-

NAME: Nika Maier

RANK: Petty Officer and hovercraft pilot

BELIEF: Merriness is against her religion, especially during the Christmas holidays

NAME: Clint Barstowe

RANK: Lieutenant, 75th US Rangers

BELIEF: There’s nothing in the world as sharp as a soldier in a Santa hat

Nika’s past lies safely buried in the bottom of her duffle, right down there with her interest in a lasting relationship.

Clint swore off serious women after his first marriage, but his feet are swept out from under him by the 110-pound sailor who flies a 180-ton hovercraft.

When a mission throws them together and they are cast onto a beach like driftwood in a storm, none of their training prepares them for what happens to their careful plans.

When her past and his present collide, they must fight the battle together to win a merry Christmas at Peleliu Cove.
