Calm before the storm - Peggy J. Herring

All is war when love isn't fair

Don't ask Deeply closeted to protect her career, Colonel Marcel Robicheaux has limited her love life to discreet flings with no strings-until the brazen but not entirely unwelcome advances of beautiful young Lieutenant Jordan McGowen send the seasoned officer running for cover.

Don't tell Saved from disaster by a timely transfer, Marcel is looking forward to retiring from the military. Just when she thinks she can finally let down her guard and ease out of the closet, Jordan suddenly reenters her life-only now she's a general's wife. While her marital status may have changed, her intentions toward Marcel have not, leaving Marcel caught between her heart and her honor.

Secret passion amidst the heartbreaking compromise of Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell leads to sizzling romance in this Peggy Herring classic.
