BY SHARON HAMILTON

Blurb

Navy SEAL Fredo Sanchez and his wife, Mia, learn how far their love will stretch to include an unloved orphan, abandoned and abused. They open their hearts to this little one, only to find the whole world bloom in unexpected ways.

Balancing work and being a family, Fredo must make the difficult distinction which is more important. He considers the heartbreaking decision of retirement, detaching from his brotherhood of warriors, until this little addition teaches him the value of being a true blue dad in all ways possible.

Once again, love comes to this elite operator’s rescue.

SEAL Brotherhood: Legacy Series is a return to previously loved couples in the original SEAL Brotherhood Series, ten years into the future.

FATHER’S DREAM: TRUE BLUE DAD
SEAL Brotherhood: Legacy Book 8
BY SHARON HAMILTON

Excerpt

Mia and her mother, Felicia Guzman, were making fresh tortillas and tamales in Felicia’s newly remodeled kitchen. It was something she’d enjoyed doing many times during the year, something she and her mother started when Mia was barely walking. Her mother would put her in a highchair and give her some dough to roll out, even giving her dull knives to have her chop tomatoes and other ingredients for the tamales Felicia was famous for.

Mia figured it would be nice to give Fredo a nice home-cooked traditional meal, since tonight he would be home. It also gave her the stability, standing next to her mother for nearly a half day, gaining strength and courage to discuss with Fredo the reveal about Caesar’s possible release. Felicia had that quiet courage, forged through many years of adversity in Puerto Rico, when Mia’s father was still alive. Now, Felicia was loved again, this time by Gus Mayfield, her second husband.

“So, you enjoyed the baseball game, yes?” Felicia asked her.

Mia was hesitant to answer, not wanting to engage her mother further with some of her concerns, especially since she hadn’t talked to Fredo yet.

“They loved it, and I enjoyed it because I loved watching their faces. It was very generous of them to donate those tickets. We had private box seats in a suite area, catered and oh there was good wine and all kinds of fresh fruit smoothies. It was delightful. Hardly felt like a baseball game though. My recollections of baseball games were sitting in the sun, getting sunburned and dropping mustard all the way down the front of my chest.”

Felicia laughed. “Your father loved taking you to soccer games in Puerto Rico. He wanted you to play soccer, football, you remember Mia?”

“I’m not an athlete, mother. I don’t like getting bruised and muddy. Some of my friends in school were banshees about football. I didn’t want to get my clothes messed up or my hair, or my makeup. It’s amazing that I even married a man of action.”

“Well, that’s because he was one of your brother’s best friends on SEAL Team 3. You met him through Armando.”

“How could I forget? He reminds me every time I see him.”
