Midnight Secrets By Lisa Marie Rice Former navy SEAL Joe Harris nearly
died—twice—on a medevac helo after being blown up by an IED. He’s not moving too great
these days, but if there was ever a woman designed to jump-start a man’s hormones, it
would be his new neighbor. Meeting Isabel—loving Isabel—brought Joe back to life. Isabel
Delvaux came from one of America’s foremost political dynasties, until the greatest
terrorist attack since 9/11 killed her entire family. She barely survived the Washington
Massacre, only to become prey for rabid reporters. Fleeing to Portland and changing her
name was a way out, a way to start over. The only way. She knows she’s safe with Joe
Harris. Not just because he’s big and strong, not just because he’s part of a security
team that obliterates threats on the regular, but because he’s been to the abyss and
back. But as they help each other heal—through talk, through touch, through spectacular
sex—the past comes back to play. When Isabel’s memory starts to return and a mysterious
stranger sends Joe emails indicating Isabel is in imminent danger, he’ll do anything to
help her uncover the truth. Even if that truth is the most terrifying thing of all...
