Erick: SEALS of Steel, book 2 by Dale Mayer

Blurb

Two years earlier, Erick Fuller, a former SEAL, was severely injured when his squad’s truck drove over an anti-tank landmine. He lost his lower leg and two fingers. He’s filled with steel plates and titanium pins…along with the driving need for answers and justice. Six other team-mates were also badly hurt, the seventh dead, in what their team leader Badger Horley realized later had to be a trap set to take them out. After joining the team in England and finding a link to the antitank landmine used in the explosion, Erick heads to Kabul–to the site where the original incident took place–for more intel. What he discovers there blows him away…

Honey Lewis, an innovative leader in the field of dentistry, is invited to a cutting-edge stem cell research conference. The man who issued the last-minute invitation is someone she met at a similar workshop years earlier. While she knows she doesn’t have the experience, she nevertheless can’t resist attending to learn the industry’s latest. Once she arrives in Kabul, she runs into another man–one she never expected or hoped to see again. She met Erick a year ago in New Mexico when she smashed into his beloved, vintage ’69 Mustang. Unbelievably, he’s still upset about the accident. If only his overexcitement didn’t bring out corresponding emotions in her…

With too many things going on at once–in her life and inside her own heart–the tug-of-war all but blindsides her with the realization that the man who befriended her might not be the man she thought he was.

Exclusive Excerpt

As soon as Erick walked into their assigned hotel room, he dumped his bags on the nearest bed and pulled out his phone. It had buzzed just moments before, but he’d waited until he was inside the room to see what was happening. Reading the message, he turned to Cade and Talon. “Meeting is set for two this afternoon.”

All three men synced their watches.

“That’s good timing,” Cade said. “The sooner we get geared up, the sooner we can head out.”

Talon agreed. “Is there anything else to pick up? What’s the plan? Are we sightseeing today or tomorrow?”

“Considering we can’t get weapons until this afternoon, it’ll be tomorrow morning, I’d say. We also need to get a route mapped out,” Erick said.

“Already done,” Cade said. “I worked on it during the flight.”

“Good. How long a trip is it? How is the route looking?”

“Forty-five minutes. Depends on the weather and the road conditions.”

They all understood. Sometimes storms came up, and all they could do was hide inside the vehicle and wait until it was over. And sometimes the heat was so intense that the radiators couldn’t handle it. They would stop and refill them with water. Erick stared out the window. “Weatherwise we’re not too bad.”

“Sure, but we also know that can change in a heartbeat. We don’t know if anybody is even at the village anymore to talk to.”

“No, but I have to see for myself. After we’ve talked to everybody, if nothing comes up, I don’t know where we go next. This is definitely a one-foot-in-front-of-the-other type of job.” Erick stopped, looked around the room and asked, “How about a bite to eat? We’ve just about got time for that, and we need to pick up some water before we head out to our appointment.”

They locked up the hotel room, returned to the lobby and went to the restaurant. Erick didn’t want to check if Honey was still here, but his gaze went automatically in that direction. Thankfully she wasn’t. He caught up with Cade and Talon as they spoke to the waitress for seating. She took them to the far side of the room where it was cool and where they had a big window.
