Sugar and Spice Press North Carolina, USA www.sugarnspicepress.com Baby On Board Dahlia Rose Chapter One Major Rafe Steele of the United States Marine Corps slid behind the wheel of his black Escalade with a sigh. For a moment he leaned his head back against the leather headrest and closed his eyes. A big grin crossed his face. It was the start of his four-week leave and it was long overdue. He’d done two back-to-back nine month tours in Afghanistan and then a three-month recon and capture mission in Somali. Leading his unit, they’d managed to take down a terrorist cell and had also taken one of the leaders alive so their mission was a success. Now with all the leave time he had earned and not used, he had four weeks of rest and relaxation. He planned to ride his motorcycle, probably head to Myrtle Beach and sit in the sand and enjoy the cool breeze and waves lapping at his feet.
