Mackenzie's Pleasure by Linda Howard

4.0

Zane Mackenzie, Joe's brother, is a Navy SEAL on a mission to save a terrorist group's hostage, Barrie Lovejoy, daughter of a US Ambassador.

The two spend some pretty intense moments together, hiding for a while alone in a hostile territory and that, combined with
SpoilerBarrie's wish to lose her virginity in her own terms, afraid of getting captured again and not avoiding getting raped this time, lead the two to become intimate
. The two are very attracted to each other, and their situation helps them get very close very quickly, and soon they fall in love.

However, the two have to overcome a number of obstacles, including
SpoilerBarrie's father's shady dealings that led to her capture in the first place. She's about to run away from home, when Zane finally comes for her
, and the two get their happily ever after.

Fast paced and with a satisfyingly happy ending.
