    Accidental SEAL
    Christy Nelson embarks on her new career in Real Estate by holding
    her first open house. Entering the wrong house, by accident, she finds the nude
    sleeping body of a young man.
    Navy SEAL Kyle Lansdowne, on a mission to find his AWOL Team
    buddy, is staying at his buddy’s home while investigating the disappearance. When
    someone breaks in, he takes protective measures. He doesn’t expect to find that
    a beautiful young woman is responsible for his teammate’s abduction.
    What starts out as a meeting by accident becomes a hot affair
    neither one is ready for. Kyle is conflicted about getting Christy involved in his
    mission, but his hand is forced when he learns the same San Diego gang responsible for his teammate’s
    abduction has kidnapped her.
    Battling a cadre of dirty law enforcements hell-bent on getting
    military equipment, especially state-of-the-art firepower, Kyle is forced to admit
    that he would be willing to die to protect her.

    Interview with Kyle Lansdowne of Accidental
    SEAL

    Tell us about yourself. What are you like?
    I’m a
    simple guy. After the death of my mother, my father and I didn’t get along and the
    Navy raised me, became my true family.
    What do you think is your strongest point?
    I’m not
    special, I just don’t give up. Can’t stand to see innocents being abused. I like
    being just one of the team, even though I lead them. I became a SEAL because I didn’t
    have anything else at the time. Now it is different.
    Do you have a weakness? (If so, what do you
    think it is? What does your lover think it is? What does your enemy think it is?)
    I guess
    I have a soft spot for the one woman in my life. Christy rocks my world. She is
    ten times smarter than I am. I knew from the first time I held her she was special,
    was the only one I could love. I would do anything to protect her. I thought she
    deserved better than me at first.
    What drives you to do the things you do? What
    makes you want to be the “good guy?”
    Just like
    in BUD/S, I don’t ring the bell. While some Team guys think they are God’s gift
    to women, I have that singleness of focus that allows me to do the job I’m asked
    to do. I love my community with the Teams and our families. I feel so lucky I found
    this job at such an early age.
    What’s your favorite guilty pleasure?
    I love
    freefalling, doing HALO jumps at midnight. I love my gear, all the fantastic equipment
    I get to use. It turns me on going to Open Houses because of the way Christy and
    I met.
    If you didn’t know how old you were how old
    would you be?
    What a
    dumb question.
    A biography has been written about you. What
    do you think the title would be in six words or less?
    He likes
    everything hard.
    If money were not an object, where would you
    most like to live?
    I love
    San Diego, maybe
    live in one of those huge villas Christy gets to sell. Something with views of the
    water.
    What song would best describe your life?
    For You,
    by Keith Urban
    If you were a tool, what would people use
    you to do?
    I’d be
    a timing device on an IED.
    Picture yourself as a store. Considering your
    personality and lifestyle, what type of products would be sold there?
    I’d like
    to own a gym like Gunny’s when I’m too old to do team work. Rather than own a store,
    I’d rather have a place where Team guys could come and hang out, like a SEAL bar.
    I’d like to stay in the community I’m in, even when I’ve got kids old enough to
    join the Teams.
    As a child, what was your favorite thing about
    school?
    Sports.
    Played I tried out for every sport. Had coaches on my case all the time about giving
    up other sports to play for them. Never worked.
    Tell us an embarrassing story that has to
    do with a pet. If you have no pets, a story about a significant other will do. ^_^
    You’ll
    see it in Chapter 1 of Accidental SEAL – I tied Christy up in her own pantyhose
    when she surprised me at the open house. Of course, she made the mistake and went
    to the wrong house, but I still feel real bad about that.
    If you came with a warning label, what would
    it say?
    Let me
    come to you.
    Please
    Fill in the Blanks as Kyle
    I love pizza with everything
    on it
    .
    I’m always ready for sex
    with Christy. Wild, wicked sex.
    When I’m alone, I think
    too much
    .
    You’d never be able to
    tell, but I’m kinda shy.
    If I had a halo it would be titanium, but burnished, not shiny.
    If I could have ten
    kids
    I would if Christy would let me.
    I can never forget the
    past or where I came from
    because I am an ordinary man.
