What the Heart Holds Safe

The round that took out the man behind Delta Force sniper D.K. “Deek” Davies missed him by inches. The problem? The man behind him had once been a friend—a friend with an inspiring sister who changed his future.

Cindy Borman’s lifetime practice of shutting away her heart means nothing when faced with the one man who knows her past.

Only together can they face What the Heart Holds Safe.

Introduction

I love second-chance tales almost as much as I enjoy the themes of triumph and true love. This is definitely another one of those.

One of the things I loved about this story was Delta Force’s reputation as the “silent warriors.”

It runs deep.

There’s a saying among Delta of something to the effect, “If you didn’t want anyone to know, why did you send a SEAL?”

Delta operators are notorious for how little they say. I’ve heard regular Army helicopter pilots refer to, “Oh yeah, we occasionally carried a load of those guys who don’t talk. No insignia, but that told us they were Delta.”

All of the tell-all books that are published by former SEALs just make Delta operators laugh. They may respect them as warriors—after all, SEAL Team 6 (DEVGRU) training is probably just as deep—but as blabbermouths? SEALs just piss off a Delta operator.

I wanted to explore that silence. Where does it come from? Why do they hang onto it? And…what happens if they fall for a woman who is just as tight-lipped for reasons of her own?

The rooftop setting of the opening has two details from the books and action reports that I read after seeing 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi and American Sniper—the surreal ornamentation of Libya’s rooftops and the helmet trick, respectively. The rest of it is all me.

I spent thirty years working as a project manager in seven different industries, ultimately volunteering as a certification trainer as well. And one thing that’s drilled into our heads is that ninety percent of a project manager’s job is making sure that communication occurs.

So, I set a hero and heroine who have no skills for communicating outside of battle. I saddled them with no ability to talk about feelings—until the very ending.

Then I sat back and watched the story unfold.
