This novel is dedicated to book lovers everywhere.
In an age of computers, eReaders, iPods, high-tech video games, BlackBerrys, GPS devices, and telephones that can do everything except bake bread (and maybe that is coming soon), the gurus would have you believe that books are going out of style, that one day they will be relics of the past.
Bah! Humbug!
That’s nothing against eBooks or even reading books online, but is that anything like having an actual book in hand? Curled up in bed, in the tub, in front of a fireplace? The joy of opening to that first page? The excitement of staying up all night because you couldn’t put the book down?
So, while I applaud all the modern technology and am thankful that my books are in those formats, I must say, God bless books and the people who read them!
Chapter 1
 
Testosterone made her do it . . .
 
She had no one to blame but herself.
Joy Nelson, a seemingly intelligent woman with a master’s degree in psychology, about to start a doctorate program at Yale, had made some dumb choices in her life, mostly because she had spent way too much of her twenty-six years competing with her three older brothers or doing incredibly stupid things after being egged on by the Three Muska-dopes, as she’d called them.
But this one beat the cake.
And it broke her heart thinking about why she’d done it. Here she was in mud up to her eyeballs on San Clemente Island, one grueling year into her training program to become a female Navy SEAL.
And doesn’t that fall into the category of “What was I thinking?”
It all began when she was about twelve years old and well on her way to her eventual five foot ten, towering over all her classmates. What girl in the throes of puberty wants to have boys looking up at her, making tall jokes? Not to mention three older jock brothers, Matt, Jerry, and Tom, who were not shy about their observations, even after they had gone on to be an Air Force pilot, Wall Street hotshot broker, and NFL football player, respectively.
