At twenty-four, Navy SEAL Danny "Rook" Callahan has everything he's ever wanted: a place in an East Coast platoon, brothers he'd die for, and a dawn surf ritual that keeps him sane. Then he meets Maya Reyes - an ER nurse with no patience for heroes and no intention of falling for one - and for the first time, Rook starts picturing a life beyond the Team.
But the deployment orders come down, and the platoon ships out to the coast of Kazhar, where a weapons network is arming insurgents for war. The missions escalate from tense midnight recon to brutal close-quarters firefights, and Rook learns fast that no amount of training fully prepares you for the real thing.
When a carefully planned raid goes sideways, Rook loses the man who taught him everything - and uncovers evidence that the war isn't over. It's just changing shape.
STEEL TIDE is the explosive first book in a new military action-romance series: authentic tactical action, a slow-burn love story, and a hero you'll never forget. All characters and events are fictional.
