The Patriot

Lieutenant Elllison Quade. Tough  guy. He played by the rules once. Never again.

Hallie Stockton. Tough girl. Her grandfather the Admiral taught her that winning is all that matters.

Six years ago, the Admiral double-crossed Quade and had him court-martialed. Now he needs Quade to bring his runaway granddaughter home--but Hallie is determined to go forward with her life, not backward.

Her sassy mouth and her long legs put Quade into overdrive. The one thing more dangerous than trying to outfox the Admiral is keeping his hands off Hallie.

And learning to trust his heart.
