Book Description
“I have had the chance to meet Melissa and hear her amazing story in person. In this book, Melissa shares insight on how she became a warrior and fought back to become the champion she is today. She is a great example of perseverance in the face of what appears to be insurmountable hurdles. Her love of country is strong and carries through her joining the military and representing Team USA in the Paralympic Games. A true champion in many ways.”—Jackie Joyner Kersee “Melissa’s story of strength and courage is not only incredibly moving, it is a must-read for anyone facing any challenge. Clearly her passion for country and sport drives every one of her accomplishments. From a young gymnast like I was, to representing the United States in Paratriathlon, Melissa inspires us all with her story of overcoming unimaginable adversity and what it truly means to be unstoppable.”—Shannon Miller Melissa Stockwell has been a restless force of nature from the time she was a little girl speeding around her neighborhood on her bike, to her tumbles and spills as a high-level gymnast and Olympic hopeful, to joining the ROTC in college as an outlet for her patriotism and love of America. After 9/11, she was deployed to Iraq as a commissioned Army officer, where she suffered the injury that would change her life forever. After a long and challenging recovery at Walter Reed Hospital, she exercised her power of choice to channel her energy into competition, winning three Paratriathlon World Championships and medaling at the 2016 Rio Paralympics. Her journey weaves service to her country and the heartache of a painful divorce along with founding a successful nonprofit, launching a career in prosthetics, finding new love, and becoming a mother to two children. Along the way, she meets all the living American presidents and inspires others with disabilities—through a story that is riveting, moving, and an inspiration for anyone who would choose to live their life to the fullest.

When a moment of defiance turns into a living nightmare, Eve will do whatever it takes to survive, even if that means making a deal with a devil of a man. EVE: Daughter of a shipping mogul, Eve Deverough leads a charmed life. She wants for nothing, except for the love of her cold and distant father. In a moment of defiance, she runs off to Cancun, shedding her private security for some fun in the sun over spring break. Only there is no fun. There is no sun. Eve's kidnapped off the streets of Cancun, transported in a shipping container with twelve other girls, to be sold off to the highest bidder in an auction of the vilest kind. Only Eve's worth more to her kidnapper than being sold at market. She's being held for ransom. As days turn to weeks, and weeks turn to months, the ransom demands escalate. Held captive by the despicable human trafficker, Tomas Benefield, in his stronghold hidden in the jungles of Colombia, Eve's freedom is in jeopardy. Which forces her to do the unthinkable. MAX: Leader of Guardian HRS's Alpha Team, Max volunteers for an undercover mission to rescue the daughter of a shipping mogul who's been kidnapped. Despite paying escalating ransom demands, her captors refuse to free her and her father is running out of cash. Eve's photos tell a somber picture and Max is ready to answer the call. How he's going to play the part of a brutal and depraved monster is beyond him, but there's no other way. He'll infiltrate The Retreat, a compound hidden in the jungles of Colombia, posing as a buyer intent on buying a girl at auction. He's not prepared for the intense attraction he feels for Eve and fights to remain professional. Above all else, he's laser-focused on Rescuing Eve. Failing is not an option. As his attraction builds, there's one BIG problem. Instead of a rescuer, all Eve sees is another monstrous man intent on defiling an unwilling girl. She hates him on sight. Rescuing Eve is non-stop action with an in-depth look at the Columbian human trafficking business. Max is sure to steal your heart with his respect towards women, his sculpted physique, and morals that withstand the ever-present temptations of The Retreat, not to mention The Oasis. This book will keep you engaged and captivated and is sure to test you when it comes to watching the slow-burning chemistry unfold between Max and Eve.
