Book Description
Sometimes the safest place to be is together. Older and set in his ways, Baker Rawlins never thought a relationship was in the cards, let alone love. Especially when years in the military and continued work for the government keep him on the radar of nefarious people all over the world. For that reason, he resists as long as possible when it comes to Jodelle—the beautiful, kind, slightly broken woman he can’t get out of his mind. It takes each of his friends falling in love for Baker to realize protecting Jodelle doesn’t mean pushing her away—it means keeping her close. In his life, in his arms, in his bed… Jodelle Spencer has endured one of the worst tragedies a person can experience, and now spends large chunks of her days keeping local teens safe as they surf off Hawaii’s sometimes treacherous coast. It’s there that she first met Baker, the mysterious and sexy former Navy SEAL who doesn’t seem interested in more than a polite acquaintance—until he does. When the man wants something, he goes for it, and he’s suddenly decided he wants Jodelle. But what they’re building together requires trust…trust that, after years of heartache, she’s not sure she can give… Trust that’s further put to the test when one of the kids she protects finds himself in danger, which spills over onto Jodelle…and the only man she can rely on is the one she’s afraid to love. ** Finding Jodelle is the 7th and final book in the SEAL Team Hawaii Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings. --- Read what others are saying about New York Times bestselling author, Susan Stoker: “I will read anything Susan Stoker puts out…because I know it’s going to be amazing!” Riley Edwards- USAT Bestselling author “Susan Stoker never disappoints.

Book Description
An inspirational true story of my life as an only child; and my HEALING from years of sexual abuse, anxiety, major depression, suicidal thoughts, multiple personalities, panic attacks, agoraphobia, PTSD, and essential tremor. Did you know that there are over 99 different after-effects of sexual abuse? I dealt with approximately 75% of those after-effects throughout my life. I have carefully outlined and detailed the keys and tools I used to unlock all the trauma. The first symptom that grabbed me was fear, when I was under age five. I became shy and withdrawn and only wanted to wrap my arms around my mothers legs and hide in her full skirt. Sucking my thumb was my only comfort when I was alone. Unfortunately, sucking my thumb caused buck teeth that brought on bullying and taunting by the other kids in the neighborhood and in school. The bullying and taunting made me want to be invisible. The shyness was so extreme that I didn't want to raise my hand in school even when I knew the answer because I would blush and then the teasing from other kids followed. The night terrors began in the fifth grade which included a big black bear which would chase me every night and devour me. The urge to be invisible brought on suicidal thoughts in junior high which I knew was wrong but life was just too hard. I obsessively worried about any social interaction especially going to school. I lived for Fridays which would give me at least two days rest. However, the worry returned Saturday night and was with me all Sunday thinking about Monday and returning to school again. Life as a teenager was difficult at home because Mom was displaying odd behaviors. She believed that people were watching her through the television and heat ducts. I wanted to help my mom but I didn't know how. Dad was my buddy. In the tenth grade an extreme explosion happened inside of me in the school lunchroom . I later learned that the correct terminology was panic attack. I rarely took lunches again around other people for fear of another panic attack. After high school graduation I moved out on my own still suffering from panic attacks, anxiety, obsessive worry, and major depression. Every year my problems got worse and worse and worse and I didn't know why. Finally I gathered all my courage together and sought help. After many unsuccessful sessions with doctors and counselors, I found one who actually helped me. He taught me tools and tips to deal with all my present issues. The healing didn't start until repressed memories revealed themselves to me at the age of 37. Confronting my abusers started me on a path of true healing. Today I live a life filled with Peace and Joy and Happiness, and I want everyone that has ever suffered from trauma to feel the way I do now.

Never Fall in Love with a Cowboy Jessa Mae Love is done with relationships. No matter how tempting he might be, she cannot--will not--fall for a man like Lance Cortez. The outrageously handsome cowboy is practically a living legend in Colorado, as famous for riding bulls as he is for breaking hearts.

Yet Jessa catches his attention, and the more she tries to resist him, the more he wants her. When she agrees to move to the ranch to keep an eye on Lance's dad, Jessa tells him they have to keep it professional: no flirting, no sweet talk, and definitely no kissing. But with Jessa now living under his roof, that's easier said than done . . .
