Editing: Rebecca Hodgkins Proof Reading: Julie Deaton & Allyson Mingo Cover Design: Golden Czermak Dear Readers, Welcome to the Special Forces: Operation Alpha Fan-Fiction world! If you are new to this amazing world, in a nutshell the author wrote a story using one or more of my characters in it. Sometimes that character has a major role in the story, and other times they are only mentioned briefly. This is perfectly legal and allowable because they are going through Aces Press to publish the story. This book is entirely the work of the author who wrote it. While I might have assisted with brainstorming and other ideas about which of my characters to use, I didn’t have any part in the process or writing or editing the story. I’m proud and excited that so many authors loved my characters enough that they wanted to write them into their own story. Thank you for supporting them, and me! READ ON! Xoxo Susan Stoker ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Thank you to my Sailor for always having my back. You have owned my heart for almost three decades, and you will always be my hero—even when you make me insane, and I find pens and other crap from your pockets in the dryer. You and our amazing kiddos, Potterhead and Pottermonkey—you make this crazy life worth it. Thank you, the family of my heart, who not only claimed me as theirs, (in public I might add…) who read this story as it was written, answering all my military questions, and helping ensure my information is as factual as possible. Any mistakes I have made are mine. Thank you for the middle of the night conversations and virtual smacks upside the head that were needed to keep me on track. Thank you to my Operators. All y’all put up with my crazy, without a second thought. You laugh at my silly memes, and you love the stories and characters in my head as much as I do. I am forever grateful to have y’all in my life. #Lovelikeanoperator I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the god who discovered that Coffee is an amazing way keeping my eyelids propped open when the characters in my head are yelling out their stories at 3 AM… Without the aid of the coffee gods, these stories would never be written. #Neverforgotten For the 31 heroes of Extortion 17. Brothers don’t always have the same mother. Until we meet again to feast in the halls of Valhalla. Special Warfare Operator Chief Petty Officer (SEAL) Kevin A. Houston FOREWORD I have been a Susan Stoker fan since I first read Beyond Reality when it first came out. When Protecting Caroline hit my kindle, I became a huge fan, and I landed firmly on the Stalker Posse. It’s been a dream and an honor to be allowed to borrow The SEALs of Protection Heroes and to write them into my world. Susan, thank so you very much for allowing me to play in your sandbox. Being allowed to borrow your characters is a dream come true. I can never thank you enough for the opportunity you so graciously gave me. I really hope I did Wolf, Caroline, and the rest of the SEALs of Protection family, the justice they deserve. Sometimes a story grabs you and won’t let go. This was one of those stories for me. I couldn’t wait to get on the computer to write. I needed to know what happened next, and I was so mad with myself that I wasn’t writing it fast enough. I wanted to see Rexar get blindsided. I needed to see Lily remember what it’s like to feel safe and loved, and I craved knowing how their son loved having a daddy like all the other kids he knew. I hope you all feel how much I loved writing this story. I’d also like to say a huge thank you to our fellow Stalker, Becky Coleman who beta read for me as I went along. Thank you for listening to my ramblings and reading Rexar before the editor got it. I’m so happy you enjoyed it and grateful to you for picking up what I missed. The road of life isn’t always smooth, and it rarely offers us plain sailing, but you and your mini sidekick have got this. Thank you also to Allyson & Becca y’all are crazy for taking on my disorganized chaos. I appreciate everything to do to keep me in line and on track. One of the biggest thank yous has to go
