The SEAL’s Rebel by Theresa Beachman

She’s trapped on a rig built for war. He’s the last man standing between her and catastrophe.

Jennifer James learned the hard way that brilliance isn’t enough—not when the man you trust steals your research and takes credit for your breakthrough. Now she’s chief engineer on a covert weapons platform guarding America’s coastline, a post no one else wanted. It’s isolated and dangerous and failure isn’t an option.

When terrorists seize the rig, only Jennifer has the skill to stop them from stealing sixteen nuclear missiles.
Former Navy SEAL Wyatt Meyer thought he was done with war. One routine Coast Guard patrol later, he’s back in the fight he understands best—the kind where hesitation gets people killed. Wyatt doesn’t lead with charm or empty promises. He leads with precision and the willingness to do whatever it takes to keep civilians alive.

Including Jennifer, who doesn’t need rescuing but does need someone who won’t flinch when bullets fly.

Trapped together with nowhere to run, her engineering genius and his lethal competence are all that stands between the terrorists and nuclear catastrophe. Along with the fragile trust building between them—because on a mission like this, trust isn’t optional.
But when forced closeness becomes something more—when partnership shifts into need and trust bleeds into want—they face a choice that has nothing to do with tactics.

Keep their distance and complete the mission. Or risk everything for the one person who sees past the damage to who they really are.

The most dangerous thing on that rig isn’t the terrorists. It’s falling for each other.
