A Hero for Mahina

Sometimes the ones that fight the hardest fall in love the fastest.Everyone knows that Malcom "Baron" Roth is the prickliest member of the team. He's harsh, rude, and sometimes downright ornery. And he's good with that. Protecting yourself is easy when no one gets too close. He's seen all of his teammates, hell, even their commander, fall victim to the fairer sex. Oh, he doesn't have anything against women. They're all perfectly great, on their own, and with the other men. But he's not going to fall into that trap. Nope. Not happening.Mahina Yoshino grew up with a single mother who loved her so much that she gave her every possible advantage, but Mahina knew her mother was melancholy. Mahina puts everything into her passion. Wildlife. Growing up in Hawaii, she's always been surrounded by natural beauty. If she could live in a treehouse or home below the surface of the ocean, she'd jump at the chance. Anything to be closer to what she loves. That's why she's spending her nights camping out at a wildlife preserve. She's seen evidence of trespassers at night. Nests and eggs crushed. Even some of the birds have been cruelly killed.She finds out quickly enough that she's not dealing with destructive kids, she's dealing with a criminal element that doesn't like being watched. When they have her on the run, she runs right into a man she's been trying to avoid. The darkly handsome Army soldier who she's seen¿ everywhere.There's an evil in the air that surrounds them. A criminal mastermind who seems to be everywhere that the Delta Team has been in Hawaii. He's taken a special interest in this woman and no one is prepared for what that might cost the Deltas and their ever-growing circle of loved ones.Baron's beyond the point of protecting himself. He needs to protect Mahina like she's his moon, constantly pulled in her direction. When she's taken from him, he'll move heaven and earth to prove that he's a Hero for Mahina.
