When he entered the condo, Shea was cutting up fruit—watermelon, kiwi, strawberries, bananas. At this stage in the training, Hemingway was hungry all the time.

“That looks good.”

“There’s enough here for me to don a whole basket and start singing like Carmen Miranda,” Shea said, joking to release the tension across her shoulders.

She started singing a silly song in Spanish. He breezed past and ducked into the laundry room. Her stomach dropped a bit. He’d barely had time today to say two words to her. She wiped her hands on the dish towel and covered the fruit, setting it into the fridge. She planned on ordering pizza.

Walking to the laundry room, she pressed her back against the frame. He’d stripped off his shirt and was chucking his clothes into the washer.

The thick muscles beneath his tanned skin flexed and bunched with every move he made. He didn’t acknowledge her, even though she knew he must have heard her behind him. Her stomach tightened.

She might have spilled the beans about what she did for a living and intentionally blown her cover with him, but she would never tell him the ugly secret she harbored, her own volatile emotions and soul-deep pain. She couldn’t bear the way he would look at her, this emerging warrior with the bright, seductive blue eyes.

She would rather be the one doing the analyzing.

“In the military, you learn the essence of people. You see so many examples of self-sacrifice and moral courage. In the rest of life, you don’t get that many opportunities to be sure of your friends.”
