WILLING - 2nd in Lucy Monroe's Brava Mercenaries trilogy

They're the good guys fighting the bad guys. They'll get the job done—if the price is right and so is the cause. Meet three sexy men who individually are READY, WILLING, and ABLE to go the distance—and together, are unstoppable...
Josie McCall has been raised to be a soldier, and she could be the best—if she wanted it. Instead, she left her dad's mercenary school behind for a normal job in computers. But now that someone has torched the school and her dad is MIA from the hospital, Josie's going to use every bit of her merc training to find him and hunt down the culprits who took him. Josie knows a lot about explosives, hand-to-hand combat, and tracking. What she doesn't know about is sex. She has no idea what to do with the volcanic attraction she feels for her dad's new partner, Daniel Black Eagle. And that feels more dangerous than any bomb...

Daniel knows exactly what he'd like to do about that attraction. The brooding explosives expert can't get within five feet of Josie without wanting to touch, taste, and protect her—even if he's sure she would happily drop-kick him if she knew one sizzling moment of his fantasies. But he'll save it for later. Right now, he's got his hands full figuring out who set that bomb and took Josie's dad. Daniel's sure of one thing, though—he's not letting Josie McCall out of his sight for a single second. Convincing the cutest, most desirable trained soldier he's ever met that she needs a bodyguard isn't going to be easy. But if she'll let him, he'll show her he's willing to do whatever it takes to keep her safe, and along the way, he'll make her feel every inch a woman...

Name the most romantic movie of all time?

It's yet to be made...I'm not a traditionalist and am always looking forward to tomorrow, so I refuse to believe the best is already out there. But one of my favorite old romantic movies is "The Quiet Man" with John Wayns & Maureen O'Hara and one of my favorite more recent movies is "French Kiss" with Kevin Klein and Meg Ryan. The one I most want to see right now is the most recent remake of "Pride and Prejudice."

Name the most romantic song of all time?

LOL...there isn't one...there are hundreds of love songs that I really enjoy listening too, but I adore "She and I" by Alabama because it reminds me so much of my husband and I.

What is the most romantic romance book you've ever read?

Depends on what mood I'm in...I have so many favorites that I have re-read literally dozens of times, but one that never ceases to touch me, no matter how many times I've read it is "Good Wives" by Louisa May Alcott. It's considered more classic than romance, but it's good love story all the way through and I *needed* Jo to get married when I read "Little Women." :)

What is the most romantic present a lover could give you?

His time, his belief I'm the most beautiful woman in the world, his need to make love even though he's tired from a long day managing too many people and too much money, his belief in me as a person...everything my husband gives me on a daily basis. *He* is the ultimate romantic gift in my life.

What is the most romantic present you have ever given a lover?

Myself. There is nothing scarier or more important to give away in a loving relationship.

What is your idea of the most romantic date?

I like water...I like candlelight...I like being along with my husband. Any date with those three ingredients is going to be hugely romantic for me.

Tell us the most romantic thing that has happened to you?

Just recently, my husband got up early on a Saturday morning and made breakfast for the teens. He left it warming in the oven and a note on the counter to the effect that he was kidnapping me for the day. He woke me and we shared a bath and then an entire day just being together, eating brunch out, shopping without a single teenager complaining about being bored or asking for something (that's very romantic, believe me). It was wonderful!

What's your idea of the most romantic meal?

One shared in the intimacy of a bedroom with candlelight.

If you could go anywhere, where would be your choice for the most
romantic vacation?

Florence.
