What I Should Have Done: Anchors and Eagles, Book 2 (Unabridged‪)‬

Torn between love and war, his heart wears the scars of a past his soul can't forgive.

SEAL operator Mikey Johnson has seen his fair share of horror. The one thing that keeps him going during his deployments is the comfort of knowing who is waiting for him at home. That is, until he returns one day to a betrayal that cuts him deeper than the rest. And love gives way to anger and mistrust. When his team ships out on their next tour, he finds that they've been assigned a new, temporary sniper from another branch. The last thing he expects is for that teammate to be a woman.

Scottie Aleck, the first woman to graduate from the United States Army Sniper Course, finds herself a pawn in a political game as she's assigned to a team of Navy SEALs. She's familiar with their reputation. They've refused to draft a new SEAL for years, leaving the spot open. She has big shoes to fill, and with her career on the line, Scottie's determined to prove herself. Then, she meets him…

The mission is simple: find the bad guy, eliminate the bad guy. Except nothing is as simple as it seems when feelings become involved amidst combat and war. They aren't supposed to fall in love. They can't fall in love.

But violence has a way of breaking all the rules.
