Pirate's First Mate

There's a first time for everything, especially love.
 
I'm Pete King, code name "Pope," a nickname my special forces team gave me after they learned I was... inexperienced with the ladies when I joined up. What they don't know is that I haven't added much to my romance resume, despite lots of opportunities over the years.

I didn't intend to wait this long, it's just never felt right.

But when the guys call me to help out with an off-the-books op to take down a kingpin who has skirted justice for far too long, I don't go in expecting to find her. All it takes is one look, one brush of her skin on mine and it's like all the atoms in our bodies wake up and reconnect with their mates.

I'm here to take his treasure... I never expected this jewel to steal my heart.
