About this item
She's got it all...except the one thing she needs most Smart, successful businesswoman JJ Caruthers has a year to land a husband or lose the empire she's worked so hard to build. With time running out, romance is not an option, and a military husband who is always on the road begins to look like the perfect solution... He's a wounded hero with an agenda of his own Even with the scars of battle, Navy SEAL medic Davy Graziano is gorgeous enough to land any woman he wants, and he's never wanted to be tied down. Now Davy has ulterior motives for accepting JJ's outrageous proposal of marriage, but he only has so long to figure out what JJ doesn't want him to know... Praise for SEALed with a Promise: "The author infuses humor, realistic characters, emotion-filled situations, and in some cases brutal honesty to create a storyline that's utterly captivating from beginning to end.
About the Author
If you don't count a thirty-seven page novel this North Carolina native wrote when she was twelve, then SEALed with a Kiss was not merely Mary Margret Daughtridge's first published novel, it was the first novel she ever wrote. She wrote it for fun--just to prove to herself that she could.Since she was writing only for herself, she had one guiding principle: she put everything she liked into the book and left out everything she didn't like. She likes dogs [check], children [check], heroines with a sense of humor [check], strong honorable men who are doing the right thing--by their lights. Check.She actually likes description when it evokes the mood of a place so she added that. And she wants fallible heroines and vulnerable heroes--who can make her mad or break her heart. So she created a story about a Navy SEAL who was about to make a bad mistake with his son and a young woman who had yet to discover how strong and courageous she was.And since she really likes a romance and a happy ending she made them fall in love, learn their lessons, make sacrifices, and be stronger and more whole in the end.A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Mary Margret has a BA in Speech Communication, and an M.Ed in Speech Pathology and Audiology. All her professional life she has been a therapist of one kind or another, desiring more than anything to empower people to reach beyond whatever limits them. As her alter-ego, MM Holloman, she is a landscape artist whose paintings of North Carolina rivers, swamps, fields, forest, and coast hang in corporate and private collections across the state.Staying true to her guiding principles she wrote SEALed with a Promise, and SEALed with a Ring. She's at work on a fourth SEALed book, SEALed Forever. She still thinks it's fun.She's between dogs right now, so she's thrilled when Fergus, a West Highland terrier, can come for a sleepover, even if the resident cat, Crystal gets in a snit. Born in Ahoskie, Mary Margret still lives in North Carolina and visits places like Windsor, Elizabeth City, Scotland Neck and Topsail Island as often as she can.
