Goddess Fish Promotions presents The
Navy SEAL’s E-Mail Order Bride by Cora Seton. Cora will be awarding a $50
Amazon gift card to a randomly drawn commenter during the tour.
Mason Hall, Navy SEAL, has fought insurgents and terrorists, but
his current mission is one for the records. Not only must he find a wife—and
get her pregnant—or forfeit the ranch his family has prized for over a hundred
years, he also must convince his three brothers to marry, too—before the year
is up. Who knew one city girl and three wayward brothers could put up such a
fight?
Excerpt:
Her phone rang. Regan jumped, then
laughed at herself. It wasn’t like Mason Hall could call to check up on her. It
could be Jack, though—still angry she’d walked out on him yesterday. Her
stomach sank at the thought. When she found her phone, though, she didn’t
recognize the number.
“Hello?”
“Regan?” It was a man’s voice, deep
and husky and confident. It couldn’t be Mason. There was no way it could be
Mason, but somehow she knew without a doubt it was. A spasm of happiness shot
through her—a feeling so unexpected and alien it caught her completely
off-guard.
“M…Mason?”
A low chuckle sent tingles down her
spine. “How’d you know?”
“Where are you?”
“Afghanistan.” His voice was
amazing. She glanced at the photo she’d made into her desktop background. Mason
gazed back at her with his serious eyes.
“You can make phone calls from
there?”
“I pulled some strings. So, are
you?”
“Am I what?” She bit her lip at the
excitement coursing through her body. How could she be so turned on by just a
voice? How could such a tenuous connection make her feel so alive?
“A big, hairy, 82-year-old man.”
She didn’t answer for a moment. She
couldn’t believe he was on the other end of the line. How did she sound to him?
Sexy? Or as squeaky as a preteen at a Justin Bieber concert? She struggled to
control her tone. “No. Sorry to disappoint you.”
“I’m not disappointed. What are you
doing today?”
“I’m not sure.”
“You quit your job, right?”
“Yes.”
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
“Would I answer your ad if I did?”
“Maybe.” There was a pause. “I don’t
know you yet, do I?”
Yet. Her breath caught. “No
boyfriend. Not for a while.”
“Why not?”
Wow, he went right to the heart of
the matter, didn’t he? “I guess I’m picky.”
“Or scared.”
She frowned. “I’m not scared. I’ve
tried, believe me. I never met the right guy.”
“Or you don’t know you have yet.”
She didn’t know how to answer that.
She should tell him right now she wasn’t interested in men. Had no intention of
dating again for years. If ever.
“Regan? Did I lose you?” His voice
was soft but demanding.
“You move awfully fast, don’t you?”
“When I see something I like, what’s
the point in waiting around?”
He kept knocking her off-balance
with that sexy, knowing voice. She tried to pull herself together. “Mason?”
“Yeah?”
“You’re paying a hell of a lot for
this call.”
“We could Skype next time,” he
suggested.
“Okay.” She bit her lip. Okay? What
did she mean, okay?
“There will be a next time, won’t
there?” he asked.
“Yeah.”
