Deke is a retired SEAL who is now working in private security with his former team members. His father died more than 2 years ago, and now he has to go back to his hometown to sell the house that he grew up in. He needs to do some work on it to get it ready. He thinks the girl of his dreams, Sophie, who used to live across the street with her parents, is no longer there, so he won't see her. The last time he saw her was right after his father's funeral when they spent one bliss-filled night together.

Two and half years ago, Sophie had an encounter with the man she had loved since she was 8. She always knew they were going to end up together, but when he left after their one night, and never answered her phone calls, she figured that he just didn't want to know about her life anymore.

This was a short story, but with some good conflict to get things going, and some sweet, sweet loving. I really enjoyed Deke and how protective he gets over what's his. I mean, yeah, SEAL, but very protective anyway. I would love to get a glimpse of their lives in a few months to see if Deke manages to kinkify Sophie. ( )

Lilly Holden thrives on action, therefore it's only natural that Deke and Sophie's tale delivers an adrenaline rush, along with a heaping helping of lust. The Seal's Secret Baby dances on the edge of danger and romance. Secrets are plenty. The danger is extreme, but the temptation is just too electric to walk away from.
